I swear the worst profession to have as a manhwa reader is being a lawyer.... Almost all o...

Try reading leave the divorce to professional lawyer

There are a few series that center around law, This is the Law I've heard good things about. Honestly I'm actually not much of a court case fan to begin with, but some of these high key fantasy series, it makes more sense for them to be wrongfully accused, escape, and find truth to sway the public, then to have a very modernesk court case in a fantasy setting.

Kinda takes me out of the fantasy to begin with, not even mentioning how weak many of the arguments end up being. So it's not realistic from a modern viewpoint and it's very modern approach for a historical fantasy viewpoint, it just feels off most of the time. Some series can make it work with the world they have created, already establishing a lot of modern viewpoints into the politics of the world. But I also just love it when the author goes the extra mile to be realistic to the fantasy time period. Like in this situation, there's no way for MC to escape this. Everyone believes he did it, the one who actually planted the evidence is royalty, historically MC is screwed. So it felt weak and out of place how he escaped using modern but also incorrectly used court room situation.

But also there's a lot of stories I struggle with reading stories in general where the MC isekais to another world, that is "historical" and "backwards" but also somehow has modern industrialism to have things like cotton candy machines that MC develops, and MC having mechanical knowledge not befitting of their life on earth. (Villainess's stationary shop, I'm looking at you , and all the others like you). Like stick to the fantasy, or explain the world to make this make sense. Some do make it make sense, and I like those, but I really struggle when MC brings modern things into an apparently historical fantasy world out of no where. And it feels like the lawyer situation in a monarchy (not a constitutional monarchy, or at least none of these fantasy worlds have claimed to have a constitutional monarchy). Just so out of place... Most the time I can ignore it if the rest of the story is good but it just throws me out of the world for a sec

I’m so glad you said this. I’m pre-law and it’s so frustrating! Especially when it comes to valid contracts. That’s probably the most common one.

Lmao I didn't even think about that. I was in mock trial so ik a bit about how US trials are supposed to happen. But I haven't actually researched contracts and what constitutes a contract. But also historically, I feel like many manhwa contracts aren't that far off, the only problem is that I don't think anyone would really enforce the contract if someone broke it. Idk how people delt with that.

Nah babe. I beg to differ. Maybe most manhwa fall out when trying to fit in the ‘law’ theme but I promise u, NO MORAL did a good job at that. I’ve never been invested in a law related manhwa like that mf.

Wait omg that was a big “American moment” for me it most likely does work differently in Japan, China, etc. I think the main one that frustrates me is when some poor bottom gets their parents debt and loan sharks force them to pay(obviously this is illegal) especially when they never knew the parent because you would need to agree to take on the responsibility. Or when someone says “you promised to do x,y, z” and it’s over $10,000 legally it requires a written contract. Obviously if mangas applied too much logic they would have no plot though lol.

XD not surprised that a lawyer related series did court room drama justice. There's a few solid ones out there that I've heard about. I'm more complaining about the situations like these in fantasy settings, most of them don't fit well. But yes, there are definitely series out there that work solid

100% about that no plot part. Same with misunderstandings. But also series that rely completely on a misunderstanding for plot or a bad illegal contract don't really have much plot then do they? Anyways the debt thing never bothered me cuz MC is naive anyways, and loan sharks inherently are in the legal gray area, and are often pushed (in manhwa at least) to do illegal stuff and go out of their way to get their money back by harassment and such. Just cuz it's not legal doesn't mean the loan sharks can't convince the vulnerable MC that what they are doing is legal, and that MC can't ask for actual legal help or anything. Also many loan sharks in manhwa are tied with the mafia, so if MC tried, he'd be swimming with the fishes before the court date happens.... Not to mention plots with corrupted governments where the loan sharks mafia can play a few strings in the background. This does happen IRL in countries but normally not ones like the US or Korea / Japan... I'd assume. Or at least not as easily. Also since I'm from there US I do try to understand that legal systems in other countries might be slightly different than ours, but a legal battle like this one in this series was cringe all the way through if you know a basic knowledge of how courts run.

And also there was one BL where the MC wanted to become a lawyer and got screwed up in the debt drama, and honestly that's on him as an aspiring lawyer. Even if he never made it to college, you'd still think he would understand he can't be strapped with his father's debt.
