Legal dramas starring women have proven the same thing countless times: male lawyers don’t take them seriously just because they’re women. we already saw it in legally blonde or, even, in the new Marvel, She-Hulk: Defender of Heroes. now it comes race to success (PartnerTrack), a story that reviews on the same basis, but places a protagonist with Asian roots at the center and makes us see the world from her experience in a mostly white and male worldas well as under enormous family pressure.
“Ingrid Yun, a Korean-American who became the first lawyer in her family, experiences the pressure to stand out at the prestigious (and old-fashioned) law firm Parsons Valentine. With the support of her friends, she tackles the challenges of her job so she can break down barriers and become a partner in the firm. But will there be any space left for love among so much ambition?”, This is how the recently released series is summed up in Netflix.
The main argument was taken from The PartnerTrackthe novel he wrote Helen Wan drawing inspiration from her own professional journey as a lawyer before becoming a writer. In television fiction, we meet Ingrid Yun, a lawyer of Korean descent who seeks to achieve success as part of a very conservative law firm, although of great renown in Manhattan.
The path to glory will not be easy and, prior to that, she will have to become a partner in the law firm; as she deals with prejudice and racist comments in her own work environment. In the process, the protagonist emotionally leans on her friends and unexpectedly finds love. However, the pressure from her parents to be the first great lawyer in her family will continue to be a very heavy backpack.
