Synopsis[]
Park Chang Ho (Lee Jong Suk) is a lawyer in Korea who is very incompetent and unlucky. Suffering from unrelenting bad luck with a court win rate of just 10 percent, his life is made worse when he is hired to handle elite cases and finds himself imprisoned with the killers he is investigating.
Chang Ho is accused of being a notorious conman named Big Mouse after he found large quantities of drugs along with money, weapons, and cell phones in his office. Then, he is forced to become Big Mouse in the hope that he can survive in prison and prove his innocence rather than being famous as Big Mouth.[2]
