While JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Squire' was first aired on the 2nd, Lee Hak-joo appeared as Lee Jin-woo, a third-year lawyer at Yulim, a law firm, drawing attention. He played an active role as a reliable intermediate practitioner who skillfully understood the intentions of Yoon Seok-hoon (Lee Jin-wook), a partner lawyer of Songmu Team's team leader, and took care of new lawyers.
In the realistic office landscape of a law firm, Lee Hak-joo sometimes gave stinging advice as a senior and sometimes as a buffer to mediate conflicts between colleagues, showing the presence of a 'unnecessary person'. In particular, Lee Jin-woo's practical ability shone in the process of organizing the Gangdong city gas-use calorific manipulation case, which was handled by newbie Kang Hyo-min (Jeong Chae-yeon), and delivering it to his partner.
In the play, Lee Jin-woo is an atmosphere maker that evokes the office atmosphere with his unique affinity and sense. Lee Hak-joo drew sympathy from office workers by raising the sense of immersion in the play with sly talking and detailed facial expressions.
Lee Hak-joo, who has played a wide range of characters such as chaebol II, detectives, aides, and executives of large corporations, is happily depicting the true face of 'Professional Zeller' in this work, heralding another life character.
Meanwhile, JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Squire' airs every Saturday at 10:40 p.m. and Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
