Land of Happiness

Jung In-hoo, a master of legal battles, takes on one of the most challenging political trials in South Korean history by defending Park Tae-ju, the chief secretary of the intelligence agency implicated in the assassination of the president. Despite the overwhelming odds, with Tae-ju’s sentence seemingly predetermined due to his military status, In-hoo fights relentlessly to ensure a fair trial. However, his frustration boils over as he faces an increasingly unjust legal process.

Thirty minutes before the assassination, Tae-ju receives an order from the chief of the intelligence agency to subdue the bodyguards if necessary. The central issue in court becomes whether his actions were a "premeditated act of rebellion" or "obedience to orders under duress". Although In-hoo advises Tae-ju to testify in a way that could save him, Tae-ju remains steadfast, refusing to betray the trust placed in him.
