Shin Gi-joong Death Truth Uncovered

The 15th episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Law Cafe' showed Shin Yu-ri (Yoo Yeon-seok) struggling to clear his name from a 22-year-old false accusation alongside his father, Shin Ki-joong (Choi Won-young), who had regained his memory. This scene garnered a nationwide viewership rating of 7.3%, with the Seoul metropolitan area reaching 7.3% and a peak of 8%, showing an upward trend. The 2049 viewership rating also averaged 2.2% and peaked at 2.49%.

Shin Ki-joong regained his lost memories through his son Shin Yu-ri's tearful confession. He was moved to see his son as an adult and looked back at his wife Park Kyung-hwa (Kim Mi-kyung), daughter Shin Sa-rang (Son Yeo-eun), son-in-law, and granddaughter. However, he decided to postpone reuniting with his family until after he had cleared his name of the "corrupt prosecutor" accusation.

The teacher Yoon Dae-myung case, as Shin Ki-joong remembers it, is as follows: After Yoon Dae-myung expelled a student involved in a school violence incident, he was sued and reported by the perpetrator's parents, fellow teachers, and external figures. Shin Ki-joong determined that someone was intentionally trying to bring Yoon Dae-myung down. Yoon Dae-myung witnessed the perpetrator's father meeting with a prosecutor and found a way to record their conversation, informing Shin Ki-joong of the recorder's location. However, Shin Ki-joong's memory cut off at the point he went to retrieve the recorder.

Taebaek Chairman Yang Byung-il (Choi Kwang-il) confessed to his son Yang Do-kyung (Kim Kyung-nam) why he had paid attention to Shin Ki-joong 20 years ago. He admitted that he was the prosecutor who, at the behest of the perpetrator student's father, had targeted Yoon Dae-myung for investigation. He claimed he had abandoned his principles as a legal professional to secure a stable future due to his narrow position within the prosecution at the time, but he hid the fact that he had disguised Yoon Dae-myung's death as a suicide and framed Shin Ki-joong for drug and corruption charges. Yang Do-kyung harbored doubts about his father's confession but decided to follow his father's instructions.

Meanwhile, Shin Ki-joong discovered a case record notebook in a leather bag gifted by his wife Park Kyung-hwa and secured the recorder, but he was in a dilemma, fearing he might put his son in danger. Han Na-hyun (Lee Som), through prosecutor Kim Hyun-woo (Yeon Je-hyung), discovered issues with the initial investigation of the Yoon Dae-myung case and witness testimonies regarding Shin Ki-joong's accident, raising her suspicions. She sincerely persuaded the groom possessed by Shin Ki-joong, saying, "Your son is a stronger person than anyone. He has overcome countless hardships on his own, and he will do so again this time."
