I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 124
<Highflier: Highflier job competition real variety.>
‘Are you the high flyer we’re looking for?’
– Season 1: Law Firm Episode
[Planning intention]
Young people who pursue their dreams fiercely and take on challenges.
However not everyone can get accepted into the company they want.
Only ‘high flyers’ who fly at least one step ahead of others can be selected!
An internship course where six young people compete to join their dream company. Guess who will be the final successful candidate!
‘ah. That’s why it’s said to be similar.’
Oh Hye-in who received the plan was lost in thought.
“Everyone lives an intense life these days. Get a license and study language. “I work hard and build up my qualifications to become the person the world needs.”
A team leader explained.
“High Flyer is a program that depicts the process of young people competing while interning at the company of their dreams.”
“Is it a format like ‘Love Sign’ where the panelists watch the show and guess who will be successful?”
“That’s right.”
“Why is the first season’s theme the law firm?”
“Law schools are popular these days. There are a lot of people who are secretly interested.”
“Hmm….”
“Actually I have already arranged for a law firm. “It was founded by young partners from large law firms and although it is not large in size it is a law firm known in the industry for its expertise and high pay.”
Oh Hye-in drew a picture in her head.
It certainly seemed like it would be okay. Aren’t legal dramas a steady-selling genre even in original dramas?
That’s why people’s interest in the image of the legal profession was high.
“What about the cast?”
“For now there is one person I have in mind.”
“Oh really? “Who is it?”

“Why is he there? “A kid who was an idol broke up with a group and went to law school.”
“iced coffee. I think I’ll remember. “Are you talking about Chae Song-ha from Black Rose?”
“you’re right. It becomes visual and topical. Public opinion is also favorable. “I have some experience with entertainment shows so I’m sure he will follow along well.”
“It’s okay. “Proceed with the recruitment.”
“I will contact you right away.”
A team leader nodded. Oh Hye-in who watched the scene for a moment asked with concern.
“But will it be okay?”
“Which part are you talking about?”
“It’s okay to pick up a song. “But I’m not sure if I can select the rest of the cast well.”
Oh Hye-in cleared her throat cleared her throat and continued speaking.
“As Team Leader Han knows best the success of a program like this ultimately depends on how attractive the participating ordinary people are.”
“That’s right.”
A team leader also expressed agreement. In fact the success of his masterpiece ‘Love Sign’ was also due to the good selection of cast members with diverse personalities and charms.
So much so that individual fandoms for the cast members were even created. Considering that all of them were ordinary people at the time of filming it was an incredible feat.
Among them there were people who became influencers or even politicians through the popularity and recognition they gained from the program.
“This time the scope is limited to a homogeneous group of law school students right? “I also think it’s easy to come up with boring pictures.”
Oh Hye-in’s point was valid. Aren’t law school students after all people who are crazy about studying?
If there are too many schoolboy-like types it is difficult to create an interesting broadcast picture.
However despite such concerns Team Leader Han just smiled.
“You don’t have to worry about that part.”
“huh?”
“Actually I have some thoughts about the composition of other cast members.”
“Oh really? After all it’s Team Leader Han! “What is it?”
A team leader handed a printed article to Oh Hye-in.
“Oh Director. Have you ever heard of the Jain Legal Argument Competition?”
* * *
Ugh.
The smartphone left on the desk trembled and vibrated.
I picked it up and saw that the number displayed on the screen was an unknown number. I usually don’t receive contact from unregistered people but I couldn’t do that this time.
This is because there was a rough guess as to the identity of the sender.
– ah. ah. Are you Mr. Park Yu-seung?
“you’re right.”
I called the person on the other end of the phone.
“It’s been a while. Mr. Chae Song-ha.”
-…Did you remember?
“I am not a person who speaks empty words.”
At the time of the legal argument competition I promised Chae Song-ha that if she gave up the competition I would find another way.

It was never an empty check.
In the future she is someone who can become a powerful connection in many ways. There was nothing to lose by doing favors in advance.
– Actually I got a call from a broadcasting station this time.
I listened to her explanation in silence.
– They recruit law school students and broadcast their lives as interns competing to be hired by law firms. Do you know about Chansol Law Firm?
“I know. “It’s a boutique law firm that’s doing well these days.”
– What is a boutique…?
“It’s not a concept that has a clear definition. Law firms that are usually small in size but have outstanding expertise in a specific field are called that. “The treatment is usually at a level similar to that of large law firms.”
In most cases the founders were lawyers who worked at large law firms.
Rather than staying and seeking promotion people jumped out to start their own business based on the personal networks and knowledge they had gained.
Therefore partner lawyers at boutique law firms were relatively young capable and open-minded.
In addition it is a good place to build a career because it has a solid specialized field.
Boutique law firms have become very popular due to their various advantages.
To the point that it was even said that the average specifications of applicants and successful applicants were in no way inferior to those of large law firms.
‘Most of them graduated from Korea University Yonhee University or Boseong University Law School and there are countless cases with unusual social experience or other professional qualifications.’
Chae Song-ha’s voice became a little heavier after hearing my explanation.
– iced coffee. So what field does Chansol specialize in?
“There was a lot? Corporate advisory M&A project financing environmental litigation etc. “It seems like I’m also doing general litigation.”
Then he added as if he remembered it.
“Oh there are also intellectual property rights. “With entertainment.”
-…!
Entertainment and intellectual property rights. It was a keyword that Chae Song-ha who lost her group due to a copyright dispute could not ignore.
– …You said last time that you would find a way.
Chae Song-ha who hesitated for a while soon opened her mouth again.
“I did.”
– Could this program be that ‘method’?
‘Well how about that?’
Chae Song-ha who appears at a later point in the original work mentions this experience in passing.
She eventually decided to appear on the program.
However things did not go as Chae Song-ha expected.
‘Entertainment programs always have a script.’
This is the same no matter how realistic the broadcast is.
As long as it is a program planned in advance the intention of the PD or broadcast writer is always at the basis of the design.
Chae Song-ha’s role in the script can be summed up in one word: ‘a tragic heroine.’
They work hard to pursue their own goals and beliefs but they are frustrated and distressed because the results are not good. What helped her rise up was her friendship with her colleagues who participated in the program.
If you add skilled editing skills to it you can create as many tingling emotional lines with other cast members that will pique the viewer’s interest.
‘I said the PD was a very clever person.’
Public opinion toward Chae Song-ha is relatively favorable. However Ho’s support is essentially based on sympathy or pity for the ‘weak’.
The public likes Chae Song-ha. Because she is an innocent victim. Because he is an ‘underdog’ who struggles hard despite lacking skills and difficult conditions.
The PD who saw through this used Chae Song-ha as a device to increase viewers’ immersion.
They were intentionally assigned more difficult tasks and were aired to emphasize their struggles.
The strategy worked beautifully. Viewers focused more on Chae Song-ha’s narrative than the other interns who proudly completed their assignments. I sympathized with her pitied her and supported her.
In the end when the program ended Chaesongha did not make it to the final selection but he definitely received public support and recognition.
‘If you say it’s a win-win it might be a win-win but…’
Was that really what Chae Song-ha wanted?
It’s not that difficult to check. Just ask directly.
“What do you want to do? Mr. Chae Song-ha.”
– I am.
Chae Song-ha on the other end of the phone paused for a moment and then answered in a voice full of determination.
– I want to appear.
It was a straight answer without any hesitation.
– I want to show you. That you can do well. That you are doing well. So… I want to confidently tell the Vice President to trust me.
‘Look it’s like this.’
She was not a passive princess waiting to be helped.
Rather he was a person who was courageous enough to jump into the difficult path of law in order to solve the problem with his own strength.
That will. Be prepared. Pride.
I didn’t like the idea of spending money just to buy cheap sympathy tickets… I also didn’t like it.
“All right.”
If that’s the case then I guess I should try my best.
“Let me help you. “I’ve already received confirmation from Jin & Ahn so I’m familiar with how to do law firm assignments.”
– yes yes?! Really? Is it in those jeans?
“That’s it.”
– Wow… he really was an amazing person. Mr. Park Yu-seung.
‘Seong Jin-tae was right.’
Attorney Seong Jin-tae who oversaw Jin & Ahn’s summer intern recruitment this year.
He tried hard to persuade me that I didn’t have to join the company so I should at least get a passing certificate.
Even if you don’t join the company the fact that you have been confirmed by Jin & Ahn will function as a kind of badge in itself and will prove many things without having to try hard to prove it.
Indeed that was true. After revealing the confirmation Chae Song-ha’s voice began to become even more lively.
– What should I do specifically?
“Let’s get some special training. I will teach you by pinpointing only the essential parts. Where is Chae Song-ha now?”
– Seoul. I came up for the competition but didn’t come down yet because I wanted to study at home during the vacation.
“That’s good. Starting tomorrow commute to the Law Library of Korea University. The learner must be prepared to show off to that extent. “Isn’t that right?”
– Of course! I am prepared to that extent.
“There are still more than 10 days left until filming begins so there will be plenty of time.”
– that’s right! That’s a good thing… no wait.
Sensing something strange Chae Song-ha’s voice suddenly stopped.
– How do you know when filming starts?
“That’s it.”
I answered indifferently as if it was no big deal.
“I was invited too. “That program.”
– …Yes?
