4. What is Kim Hyung-min's true identity?


Kim Hyung-min (Yeom Hye-ran) is the chairman of the Holsi Scholarship Foundation and the owner of the Hyungmin Building, and Ha Sang-gi's benefactor. He's the most enigmatic character in the drama, leading the story while concealing his true intentions as he merges four law firms and assumes the position of advisor.


Her ultimate goal, revealed at the end, was surprisingly simple. A law student who failed the bar exam, she simply wanted to make a fortune and establish her own law firm. However, she realized that "Hyungmin Law Firm" was meaningless without a license, and so she enrolled in law school to become a true lawyer.
