The drama depicts the last six months of Park Jung Hwan's life, one of the prosecutors working on anti-corruption department. Before the brain tumor takes his life, he is determined to expose the frauds and misconducts committed by his superior, Lee Tae Joon. He also struggles to make amends with his ex-wife Shin Ha Kyung and their daughter Ye Rin, for all his indifferent attitudes in the past.

Lee Tae Joon (Jo Jae Kyun) is the Public Prosecutor General, a jovial man with a thick Kyungsangdo accent who hums trot songs all day long. He’s got the outward appearance and personality of a gregarious village chief, while hiding an ice-cold disposition underneath. He’s famous for stripping countless prosecutors of their jobs, and has a long history of backdoor illegal activity, which he naturally keeps under wraps. Shin Ha-kyung (Kim A-joong) is a prosecutor who has refused extremely high-paying jobs at large firms, and instead fights for justice.

Park Jung-Hwan (Kim Rae-Won) is the chief of the anti-corruption investigation team for the Supreme Prosecutors' Office. To get to his position, he has made compromises on achieving justice. Park Jung-Hwan then learns that he has a malignant brain tumor and does not have much time to left. To end his life without regrets, he points a gun at corrupt Public Prosecutor General Lee Tae-Joon (Cho Jae-Hyun). Park Jung-Hwan’s ex-wife Shin Ha-Gyung (Kim A-Joong), who is also a prosecutor, knows about Park Jung-Hwan’s situation and helps him. (Asianwiki)

The drama will be about prosecutors high-up in the supreme court — the hero is a chief investigative prosecutor named Park Jeong-hwan (Kim Rae-won) who finds out he has six months left to live, and on the other side is a prosecutor general Lee Tae-joon (Jo Jae-Kyun) who’s neck-deep in corruption. The drama follows the last six months of the hero’s life after he finds out he’s dying, and is described as “the story of a man who throws his final punch at the world, as he says farewell to this life.(Dramabeans)

lmao you got that quote from dramabeans... anyway it's ironic that punch has been the ratings leader for some some weeks now but international fandom doesn't give a eff

I kind of repeat myself every week but Yoon Ji Sook is scum, Hogu is the worst scum. Tae Joon is an asshole but I kind of like him now, I guess it's the ~camaraderie~ thing he's got. He's imo the most interesting "villain".

Jung Hwan's emotional break down in his room broke my heart, great acting from both sides. He (and the viewers) really needed that break down.
FINALLY him and Ha Gyung reconciled.

Bless that mechanic, I really thought he'd betray Jung Hwan.

The fact that Jo Kang Jae returned doesn't really surprise me... I mean look at Empire of Gold. Even if somebody ended up in jail or was sent overseas, they returned. Only when Seo Yoon finally crushed them for good and took away everything they owned and made them beg and crawl on their knees, they were finished.

I did indeed get it from Dramabeans...the only place on the internet that understands our affection for Punch.
