comment
Partners of Justice is a South Korean drama series produced by Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation. The show ran for two seasons from 2018 to 2019. Talks for a third season as of 2020 is potentially in Development Hell as the show's director No Do-chul tendered his resignation on August 2019.note There's also the problem of potentially filming it during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea in the unlikely event that MBC opts for a third season.The show centers on the operations of the National Forensic Service (NFS), a government institute under the South Korean Ministry of the Interior and Safety. The NFS is responsible for conducting forensic operation in incidents to determine if it is a criminal incident or not. Working alongside the NFS is the Supreme Prosecutors' Office (SPO), which prosecutes cases if an incident is determined to be criminal.Among those working in the NFS is Dr. Baek Beom, a forensic scientist who was a promising medical doctor who was supposed to go to the United States and continue his medical education. It's due to a Noodle Incident that led to an accident that eventually led to medical malpractice.Recruited to the SPO is Eun Sol, a Non-Idle Rich woman from an upper class family with her father as the president of Woncheong Corp. Regardless of her family wishes, she studies law and enters the SPO. As the newly recruited prosecutor, Eun Sol is assigned to work at the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office working on case from the eastern side of Seoul (Seoul Seongdong-guã†�Gwangjin-guã†�Gangdong-guã†�Songpa-gu).Eun Sol later clashes with Baek Beom over their work ethics, but realize that they need to work together in investigating criminal cases that may seem complex at first sight.

Darker and Edgier: While the first season shares it part of dark criminal cases being investigation by officers from the Gangdong Police Station, the second season is entirely dark because the majority of its cases were committed secretly by a conspiracy group that uses the services of Dr. K to conduct murders and coverups.

Bittersweet Ending: The second season wraps up with Do Ji-han's colleague from the National Tax Service (NTS) properly investigated. However, No Han-shin and Gal Dae-cheol's part in working with Oh Man-sang to assassinate Yeong-su was not made public as Man-sang was made the scapegoat for his murder, considering that he was wanted by law enforcement. Do Ji-han decides to leave the SPO and be a defense lawyer instead while Eun Sol stays in Seoul Eastern to continue her work to investigate corrupt public figures. And Dr. K was still alive after being left for dead by Dae-cheol via assassin. He decides to join up with Ji-han.

Sequel Hook
 Partners For Justice / int_6293c185
comment
Sequel Hook The first season ends with the NFS investigating the supposed charred corpse of Man-sang for an autopsy even though the rest of South Korea thinks he did die. Sure enough, it partly leads to the second season. The second season ends with Ji-han visting Yang Soo-dong while the latter was off duty. Dr. K shows up from an alley and Soo-dong gets confused as to why Ji-han's working with Dr. K.

Meanwhile, Eun Sol struggles to do her job as a prosecutor and stand on her own despite the parents not approving of her work and prefering her to work in the family business.
