JTBC’s brand-new courtroom K-drama, Divorce Attorney Shin is headed to Netflix in the upcoming month. The first trailer for the series starring Cho Seung-woo, Han Hye-jin, Kim Sung-kyun, and Jung Moon-sung has been released by The Swoon, and it already looks like a fun ride is in store for South Korean drama fans.
It’s been directed by Lee Jae-hoon, written for the screen by Yoo Young-ah, and originally on the webtoon of the same name created by Kang Tae-kyung. Our personal lives often become grounds of inspiration for pursuing one thing or the other. The same is the case for Shin Sung-han (Seung-woo), whose personal tragedy compels him to switch his professional path.
Having started out a music professor in Germany, Seung-woo takes a U-turn upon receiving an unbelievable piece of news. He goes on to specialise in divorce litigation instead which drives him to the courtroom where seeks to win his clients’ cases by any means possible. However, convening with them isn’t as easy as movies make this legal job out to be. As these varying tendencies start driving him insane, he turns to his best friends, i.e. fellow 40-year-old men who’re just as youthful and bubbly as the kids next door.
While Seung-woo will be playing the role of the titular character, others joining him as part of the main cast include Han Hye-jin, who’ll be introduced to us as Lee Seo-jin, a radio DJ who used to be a weather-caster. Additionally, Shin’s best friend squad has Jang Hyung-geun – a paralegal, played by Kim Sung-kyun and Cho Jung-sik – a real estate agent, played by Jung Moon-sung.
If you’re wondering as to where you saw these actors before – Seung-woo has led quite a few projects. His leading roles were featured in films like The Classic, Marathon and dramas like Stranger, The King’s Doctor, Sisyphus: The Myth and more. He’s also been a part of various stage musicals. Hye-jin, on the other hand, was previously seen in Jumong, 26 Years, and a talk show titled Healing Camp.
