Development

The then network-less project was first announced by the production company Gonggamdong House in June 2018 under the working title Law School Monsters, making it South Korea's first law school television series, with Seo In (Judge vs. Judge) as the writer.[4] JTBC acquired the broadcasting rights in the summer of 2020.[5][6]

In mid-September 2020, JTBC confirmed that Kim Myung-min, Ryu Hye-young, Kim Bum and Lee Jung-eun would star in the series.[7] Kim Seok-yoon, who previously collaborated with actors Kim Myung-min and Kim Bum on the Detective K film series, joined the project as the director.[8][9]
