TV series takes a closer and more personal look at the lives of aspiring lawyers as they persevere through their stressful internships, Xu Fan reports.
At the beginning of 2021, Chen Tong, an accomplished scriptwriter with a portfolio of 10 screen works spanning nearly two decades, embarked on a new career path as an "intern" at a law firm located in the bustling Xicheng district of Beijing.
Apart from two senior members in the company, no one else knew Chen's true identity. She concocted a story that she was looking to resume her law career after being a full-time housewife for many years. By spending nearly half a year at the firm, Chen was able to develop a close and immersive understanding of the everyday lives of lawyers in China.
