Atty. Jung Myeong Seok is a real mentor.
I could never thank him enough for being such a reliable sunbae for all the rookie attorneys. I love how he handled this situation. He is warm hearted and a very competent professional.
I am really looking forward how the rookie attorneys would learn from him and how he, would also learn from them in return. Because I guess that's what a real mentor is--someone who is not afraid to learn from others despite the experienced they already have within them. Someone who is always still willing to be taught.
Fighting Atty. Jung!

Do the Jedi know more than they’re letting on?
I’d like to talk about a theory I’ve been working on, regarding Jedi secrets.
I’m sure you all remember Qui-Gon Jinn getting attacked by a clearly lightsaber trained assassin, identified to the audience by that point as Darth Maul.
And presenting his (correct) theory to the Jedi High Council, upon returning to the temple on Coruscant.
At first they dismiss it, because the Sith, as noted by Ki-Adi-Mundi, AKA Jedi Master Potato-Head, the Sith were supposedly wiped out during a war a thousand years earlier. Sadly, they are forced to conclude that Jinn’s theory was correct, after his death.
Now here’s where things get sus. During the funeral, Yoda notes that there are always two Sith. Now at the time, this likely just meant that at their height, the Sith operated in master and apprentice pairs, same as the Jedi. But then, as the Sith were fleshed out in expanded materials, we learn that Yoda was referring to the Rule of Two.
Darth Bane, the last surviving Sith, established the Rule of Two moving forward, in order to prevent the in-fighting that hampered the Sith’s efforts against the Jedi, as well as take advantage of it, with a focus on quality over quantity.
The Rule of Two states that there shall only ever be two Sith at a time. A master and a single apprentice, who will only become a master themselves when they’re able to kill their predecessor, and then take on an apprentice of their own.
Admittedly, a few Sith Masters (most notably Palpatine/Darth Sidious) have bent this rule by training Sith Assassins, Acolytes, and Inquisitors to serve as manpower and as candidates for the next apprentice, but the Rule of Two has served as doctrine for the Sith for the last millennium.
Now the problem here is that Bane was a survivor of the aforementioned war, and therefore established the Rule of Two after the point where the Jedi believe that the Sith were driven to extinction.
So, how the hell do they know about it?!
To return to the council meeting, you’ll note that Jedi Master Potato-Head is the only one who outright dismisses the possibility. Mace Windu is skeptical, not of their survival, but of them returning (or becoming active again) without the Jedi noticing, while Yoda initially stays silent, before countering that the dark side might be easier to miss than Windu believes.
My theory, this isn’t the first time the Jedi have encountered the Sith in the last thousand years. Even if we assume that the Rule of Two cycle was carried out two to three times a century, that’s still between twenty and thirty Sith masters, and who knows how many failed apprentices like Maul. What are the odds that none of them had a run in with the Jedi, in all that time, that didn’t leave a Jedi survivor? What are the odds that no masters tried to corrupt a Jedi into becoming their apprentice and failed, alerting the Jedi?
Windu and Yoda are the Master of the Order and Grandmaster, respectively, which are basically the two highest positions it’s possible to reach in the Order. If anyone’s going to have access to the secrets that the Jedi Order has chosen to suppress, even from the other council members, it’s them, especially given Yoda’s long lifespan, he likely had a few firsthand experiences.
There’s been a greater examination of the Jedi’s failings and poor decisions in recent years, so their making an active effort to suppress knowledge of Sith survivors could be a prime example of a long standing example.

The Most Shocking & Heartbreaking Moment of KBL 2023
OUR DATING SIM (2023, SOUTH KOREA)
Episode 7
Admittedly I haven't watched all KBL'S this year especially the ones on IQIYI. So this moment in KBL stands out at least to me.
Lee Wan (LEE JONG HYUK) fell madly in love with his best friend Shin Ki Tae (LEE SEUNG GYU) and was brave enough to confess. However Shin Ki Tae's recoil after the attempted kiss gave Lee Wan a feeling of rejection and he ran.
Now, Lee Wan and his sister had gone bankrupt and had to move in with an aunt so Ki Tae didn't have Lee Wan's home address. Just a cell phone number that couldn't be reached.
7 YEARS GO BY...
Shin Ki Tae found Lee Wan through a blog of cartoon drawings and orchestrated their reunion by having his boss (more or less) Theo contact Lee Wan for an Illustration job and since Re:Try used nicknames Lee Wan had no idea he was about to meet up with his "failed first love" Shin Ki Tae.
In the beginning Shin Ki Tae was a little cold towards Lee Wan. Even his co-workers thought he was harassing Lee Wan.
By Episode 4 Shin Ki Tae finally confronted Lee Wan by brandishing the camera Lee Wan adored but left behind after the failed confession 7 years before. But this time let it out that he searched high and low for Lee Wan but was helpless in his efforts. Then Shin Ki Tae confesses he likes Lee Wan. Soon after the two besties begin dating and are happy to finally be boyfriends (in secret)
Lee Wan however is a temporary employee with Shin Ki Tae's company Re: Try. And another offer could bring another separation due to working abroad. After a night of drinking with the guy offering this overseas opportunity, a drunken Lee Wan makes a comment about possibly having to leave.
Then as the audience we see the true effect Lee Wan's disappearance had on Shin Ki Tae. Crippling Anxiety. Of which Shin Ki Tae hid like a champion until the moment he once again thought he lost Lee Wan. Making him run through the streets calling out Lee Wan's name until he happen upon Lee Wan and breaks down.
I for one was shocked yet my heart broke for Shin Ki Tae.
A stellar performance by LEE SEUNG GYU
