Update: Kim Bum, Kim Myung Min, Ryu Hye Young, And Lee Jung Eun Confirmed For New Legal Drama
Updated September 17 KST:
Kim Myung Min, Ryu Hye Young, Kim Bum, and Lee Jung Eun have been confirmed for JTBC’s new drama “Law School” (working title).
“Law School” is about the students and professors of South Korea’s top law school who get caught up in an unusual case.
Kim Myung Min has been cast as Yang Jong Hoon, a criminal law professor who used to be an elite prosecutor. His harsh words make him the No. 1 professor to avoid among the students, but there is something addictive about his strict teaching methods that refuses to accept less than the best from his future juniors in the legal profession.
Ryu Hye Young has been cast as Kang Sol, a first-year law student who overcame poverty and misfortune in childhood to gain special admission to the law school. She walks a path of thorns due to the constant sense of deprivation and shame compared to the wealth and talent around her, but her passion will teach her the truth about what it means to be a lawyer.
Kim Bum has been cast as Han Joon Hwi, another first-year law student who is at the top of his class. He’s a natural leader whose good looks and easy charm make him the perfect man on paper. However, he has an unexpected side of him that he keeps hidden.
Lee Jung Eun, best known for her role in the Oscar-winning film “Parasite,” has been cast as Kim Eun Sook, a civil law professor who used to be the head of the law school’s legal clinic for free legal services. Her natural air of authority and freewheeling personality gave her the reputation for being a master in court, and she is famous for being a relatable professor at the law school. She is also the only colleague in whom Yang Jong Hoon confides.
A source from the drama stated, “This drama is set against the backdrop of South Korea’s first law school and combines a legal thriller with a campus drama. Kim Bum, Kim Myung Min, Ryu Hye Young, and Lee Jung Eun are a tough legal team of professors and students. Please look forward to seeing their brilliant acting and refreshing new characters in this story of young lawyers-in-training.”
“Law School” will be directed by Kim Suk Yoon and written by Seo In. It will air sometime in the first half of 2021.
