tvN's new drama 『Pro Bono" (played by Moon Yoo-seok, directed by Kim Sung-yoon) is a comical human courtroom drama that takes place when a snobbery judge unintentionally becomes a public interest lawyer.
Writer Moon Yoo-seok, who recorded a successful legal drama with the dramas 'Devil Judge' and 'Miss Hammurabi', and director Kim Sung-yoon, who formed a mania of 'Kim Sung-yoon Universe' with the dramas 'Devil Judge', 'Itaewon Class', 'Annara Sumanara', are drawing high expectations. On top of that, attention is drawn to the meeting between actor Jung Kyung-ho, who is called the "real acting master" for his extreme reality, and actor So Soo-yeon, who has captivated viewers with her delicate emotional performance.
First, Jung Kyung-ho played the role of Kang David, a judge-turned-public interest lawyer in the play. Kang is a influencer in the legal profession who attracts hundreds of thousands of followers on social media due to his perfect handling of work and clean image. He resigned as a judge due to an unexpected incident ahead of his brilliant career, and begins his life as a public interest lawyer in a hallway. Whether Kang Da-weid, who is blinded by his success, will be able to regain his former reputation, is the life of Kang Da-weid that Jung Kyung-ho will portrayA difficult life is drawing attention.
The role of Park Gigi, who has the opposite tendency to Kang Da-Wit (Jeong Kyung-ho), is played by So Soo-yeon. Park Joy is a public interest lawyer who becomes a fan of law in many ways due to her deep-seated personality when she is hooked on one thing. It is considered healing to help beautiful legal texts and good citizens who rely on the law with the mission of a lawyer to defend human rights and realize social justice. I am curious about the performance of Soju-yeon, who will bring warm energy to the world as a Park Joy character who conveys warmth with a good heart.
As such, Kang Da-witt and Park Gui-mi meet as lawyers for the public interest team belonging to the corporation 'Pro Bono' to defend victims who have lost their place with the money earned from defending chaebols and embody justice. The synergy of Kang David, who knows the best method of the powerful, and Park Joy, who is bent on finding ways to help the victims, will provide a thrilling catharsis.
As a result, curiosity is focused on the daily lives of public interest lawyers who file free lawsuits with zero fees and zero sales in a corner of a small building, not a large law firm where large amounts of private interests such as inheritance disputes and tax lawsuits by chaebol families are encountered.
tvN's new drama 『Pro Bono" will premiere in the second half of this year, where a pleasant rebellion by public interest lawyers who have no money but are full of abilities, pride, and justice will be held.
