'Esquire' is an office growth drama in which Kang Hyo-min (Jeong Chae-yeon), a new lawyer who is justifiable but poor at social life, grows into a real lawyer through Yoon Seok-hoon (Lee Jin-wook), a cool-headed but outstanding partner lawyer.
Director Kim Jae-hong described 'esquire' as a drama that deals with the law, but eventually talks about people'esquire'"New events appear in each episode, and in the broad sense 'love' is at the center of it. Various forms of love, the people hurt by it, and the lawyers who cover the wounds are the core of the drama." He added that "'esquire' is not Melona Rocco, but I hope it will be a drama that makes you think seriously about what love is."
Writer Park Mi-hyun stressed that `the charm of this drama lies in all characters, relationships, and messages.' In particular, regarding Yoon Seok-hoon's character "He looks cold on the outside, but he is warmer than anyone else inside" and "Lee Jin-wook will express it perfectly to increase the level of immersion" As for Jeong Chae-yeon as Kang Hyo-min "The caricature and lovely image matches the character perfectly "rated as.
Lee Hak-joo and Jeon Hye-bin's tiki-taka at work were also cited as one of the points to watch. "The relationship between the two characters, who are cold lawyers when they work but show a friendly atmosphere in private, will add to the fun of the drama," Park said. "The fact that the legal subject matter is interesting is also a characteristic of this drama."
'Esquire', which raised expectations by adding commentary from the director and writer, will premiere on JTBC at 10:40 p.m. on August 2.
