Law and The City Episode 3 recap: A resurfaced past and a surgery case on shaky ground

Law and The City Episode 3 begins with Ju-hyeong and Hee-ji meeting again in a quiet park. Since Ju-hyeong admitted that he remembers everything, he also brings up a missed meeting in Gangnam years ago.

It was a crucial meeting, and Ju-hyeong tells Hee-ji not to make excuses like she lost her phone. Surprisingly, that’s exactly what happened. Hee-ji explains she lost her phone, but Ju-hyeong seems unsure. Yet, they clear the air, reflect on old feelings, and continue walking.

The next day, the five law firms officially merge into Hyungmin Law Group. Everyone gathers under the new banner, trying to adjust to their shared future.

Ms. Kim, who led the merger, arrives and introduces herself as the legal advisor. She’s clearly not the person she pretends to be, but since she has power, most people in the firm trust her. Ms. Kim even turns one office floor into a lounge.

This episode of Law and The City shows the lawyers settling into their new cases. Mun-jeong deals with a rude client who doubts her, and even after she wins, the client complains—something that really gets to her. She feels alone when her friends don’t respond, but her husband, a nurse, offers quiet support. Later, her friends apologize, and Ju-hyeong personally checks in.

Meanwhile, Hee-ji takes on an emotional case about a boy who died after surgery. Things get complicated when a video challenges her side, and the boy’s father is suddenly arrested. She asks Ju-hyeong for help, and he even talks to Mun-jeong’s husband for medical insight.

The episode ends with Ju-hyeong handling a tense divorce case where a woman faces her manipulative husband in court. It hints that Ju-hyeong knows the woman and that they might share a past.

In Law and The City Episode 4, Su-jeong struggles to explain why she wants a divorce. Her uncertainty leaves the case hanging in a grey area. Later, Ju-hyeong takes a call from her husband, who avoids taking a stand.

Elsewhere, Mun-jeong visits a clinic for a cold but quietly picks up a pregnancy test, hinting at deeper personal stress. Throughout the episode, she appears distracted and nervous, clearly battling something beyond work. Her usual confidence is missing, replaced by quiet worry and hesitation.

Later, Sang-gi meets a man demanding compensation from his late wife’s lover’s family. The case is legally complex, especially with children involved. Sang-gi explains that damages would only cover a part of the responsibility, which frustrates the client. Meanwhile, Chang-won agrees to visit a detention center for someone else’s case, despite initial reluctance.

At court, Su-jeong files her statement accusing her husband of abuse, which he firmly denies. A brief visit from Hee-ji’s father shows her a calmer personal life.

The divorce is finalized when Su-jeong fails to submit papers, and a flashback reveals she once had a romantic past with Ju-hyeong, adding a deeper emotional layer to the case.

Later, Su-jeong’s ex-husband tries to provoke Ju-hyeong with a cash envelope, suggesting he knows about their history. Ju-hyeong rips it up in anger and threatens legal action. Hee-ji witnesses the moment but stays silent—and with this, the episode comes to an end.
