Mek Piriyawich plays an idealistic young lawyer in the new Thai drama
The synopsis reads: “At the center is Mek (Nat Kitcharit), an idealistic young lawyer who believes the law should protect the powerless. That belief shatters when he’s framed for the murder of the son of Anan (Songsit Roongnophakunsri), a powerful police chief. Overnight, Mek goes from defending others to fighting for his own life – and the system he trusted offers him anything but justice.”

It continues: “Backed into a corner, Mek turns to Jittri (Rhatha Phongam), a fearsome defense lawyer infamous in legal circles as ‘the evil lawyer.’ She is known for exploiting loopholes, bending rules, and using any tactic necessary to win. In the main trailer, she takes Mek’s case on one condition: he must work for her. Why would she step in for free? As Mek enters her world – and the deeper machinery of the courts – that question becomes the thread that pulls him, and viewers, deeper into the story.”
The Evil Lawyer is available to stream on Netflix now.
