Synopsis
Huang Shuya, Shen Xiping, Lin Leshan and Zhao Ning are lawyers who are poles apart from each other but together with Huang Guanying (Shuya's older brother), they form a tight group of friends. Despite being employed by two different law firms, and at times having to face off against each other in court, the five do not mix work with their personal lives. This is what keeps their friendship going. After work, the group usually gathers at Xiping's family-owned pub to talk about work and their lives. With such a strong friendship forged, a complicated love rectangle is inevitable.
