The Attorney (2013)

변호인

Song Woo Seok got tired of working as a regional judge and decides to work as an attorney, specializing in real estate and taxation.
Fast forward to 1981, Woo Seok took his high-school friends to a small restaurant he frequents and drunkenly brags about his accomplishments then discriminates against other lawyers and student protesters. Things led to a fight as he gets conceited and argues with a friend regarding the protests.
During a group study, Park Jin Woo and some of his book club members were captured and wrongfully accused of being a North Korea-sympathizer, with suspicions of holding illegal meetings while possessing banned literature.
With the restaurant closed and hearing that Jin Woo went missing, Woo Seok gets anxious, investigates, and finds Jin Woo imprisoned under false charges. Upon seeing the state Jin Woo was in, Woo Seok became determined to make a change within his nation, leaving his comfort zone to protect the oppressed. He starts by defending the students and fights for human rights.
