What's different from tvN's 'Seocho-dong'? JTBC's 'Squire' director 'Love  Structural Drama with Details'
JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Squire' heralded a differentiated point in the flood of 'Join Drama'.

On the 31st, JTBC's new Saturday drama 'esquire' was held at the Link Hall on the 2nd floor of The Link Hotel in Guro-gu, Seoul. Director Kim Jae-hong, Lee Jin-wook, Jung Chae-yeon, Lee Hak-ju and Jeon Hye-bin attended the meeting to talk about the drama.

'Esquire' is an office growth drama in which Kang Hyo-min (Jeong Chae-yeon), a new lawyer at Yulim, a law firm that is just and courageous, but not good at social life, is growing into a full-fledged lawyer through Yoon Seok-hoon (Lee Jin-wook), a partner lawyer who emits cold air to the world.




While tvN 'Seocho-dong' is airing at the same time depicting a similar lawyer's story, director Kim Jae-hong expressed confidence, saying 'esquire' is different from the existing court drama'.

He then said "The broadcast time was not our choice. In the case of other dramas, there is a structural difference as it deals with the internal story of a big law firm that is one of the top five law firms," he said.

He continued "I've directed two court plays in the past, but when I saw the writer's script this time, I thought 'This is real" He explained that the brightness of the litigation case is detailed and high-order, saying that he is an incumbent lawyer.




In particular, "'esquire' consists of a total of 12 parts and is a one-episode format in which different events appear each time. "In those events, there is a theme of 'love". There are various forms of love in the world, and it is a story in which lawyers carefully care for those who have been hurt by it."

JTBC 'Squire' will premiere at 10:40 p.m. on August 2.
