Jo Seung-woo offers his services as Divorce Attorney Shin
by tccolb
JTBC has been picking up the pace on promos for Divorce Attorney Shin (previously Sacred Divorce), releasing a new poster and video teaser of our story’s hero Jo Seung-woo (Sisyphus) – along with his adorkable two friends: Kim Sung-kyun (Grid) and Jung Moon-sung (The Good Detective 2).
Since middle school and now into their forties, the three have supported each other through all the good and bad. This includes when Shin Sung-han (Jo Seung-woo) gave up classical piano and turned to law instead. And now Jang Hyung-geun (Kim Sung-kyun) handles administration for Shin’s firm, while Renaissance man Jo Jung-shik (Jung Moon-sung) has been dabbling in different trades.

The new teaser begins with our hero hesitantly introducing himself as, “Attorney Shin Sung-han, a representative of the legal profession and a sexy… guy? Sexy man?” He certainly makes an impression with his fancy suit-up and piano performances, while Hyung-geun explains that Sung-han has the blood of an artist. But the sequence also treats us to Sung-han’s more humble moments, and the appearing text screen questions, “Artist Shin Sung-han?” The answer soon follows, confirming that he’s, “Divorce Attorney, Shin Sung-han!”
We then jump to a man asking, “There must be many women who like you, right? [Are you] still single?” Sung-han replies, annoyed, that he’ll handle his own affairs. The second nosy question, though, is why Sung-han would even bother switching to this career and we watch a sequence of domestic violence before moving to the final text screen: “Do you need a divorce?”
Sung-han’s next divorce case is for radio DJ Han Hye-jin (Let’s Hold Hands and Watch the Sunset). He confidently reassures her saying, “Don’t you know the saying that all will be well, when all is well at home? We’re taking this divorce to trial now, not arbitration. Don’t worry, we’re going to win.” The teaser then closes as our hero approaches the court house and says, “Let’s go.”
Directed by PD Lee Jae-hoon (Run-On, Chief Kim) with scripts by Yoo Young-ah (Thirty-Nine, Boyfriend), JTBC’s Divorce Attorney Shin is slated to premiere next month on March 4.
