The drama is a dark legal entertainment about a lawyer who makes a lot of money by inciting lawsuits. Rookie lawyer Ryo Uzaki (played by Mamiya) jumps into the "Peace Law Firm," known in the industry as "lawless." He ignites the hearts of potential plaintiffs and makes them file lawsuits. The drama depicts a "group of legal outlaws" who use all means to win their cases.
In episode 2, Asami and Todoroki are seen going to a karaoke bar.
"I've got the list you wanted, so I'll send it to you. But don't ask for it too easily. Getting information from the police isn't as easy as you might think," said Asami as she handed the list to Todoroki.
Todoroki thanks him, saying, "You always help me out," and then he uses the microphone to say, "Sorry. You've had to do this for me." Todoroki calmly retorts, "That's a huge misunderstanding, but I'll just ignore it."
Meanwhile, Todoroki congratulates him, saying, "This time, it was information from another department, so it must have been hard." He uses the microphone again to say, "Sorry for always doing this for me," to which Asami replies, "You're so persistent. I'm only doing what I want to achieve."
On social media, comments such as "The way he uses the karaoke microphone is hilarious," "Nakamura Tohru is so cool, even though he's serious, he makes us laugh," "The karaoke scene is amazing," "Nakamura Tohru and Ryo are so cool," "I just love the pairing of Nakamura Tohru and Ryo," "Todoroki is so funny lol," and "Todoroki saying 'For me' with an echo on the microphone made me laugh out loud" were posted and became a hot topic.
