Kim Sun-ah schemes to build her own Empire of Law

A new video teaser has been released for JTBC’s upcoming The Empire of Law, which seems to have all the makings of a classic melodrama rife with meaningful stares. Delving into the life of a powerful family, the drama unravels the hypocrisy and greed which have been carefully veiled behind the family’s prominence in law and governance.

Central to this story is Kim Sun-ah’s (Secret Boutique) Han Hye-ryul, head of the district prosecution office. Although she worked hard to succeed in her career, her family’s influence creates the illusion of nepotism and she’s long been struggling under the weight of their name. But now, she’s ready to break free from her restraints and puts her own plans into motion.

Ahn Jae-wook (Mouse) plays the part of her husband, law professor Na Geun-woo. As a person who went from rags to riches, he has strong public favor on his side and is even being considered for the next presidential candidacy. But now he’s made himself a pawn in his own game and he risks losing everything if his true self is revealed.

In supporting roles, we have Hye-ryul’s parents: professor Lee Mi-sook (Let Me Introduce Her) and law firm CEO Song Young-chang (The Good Detective 2). The head of the family is our heroine’s maternal grandfather, Shin Gu (Kairos), who married again in his later years to the young Oh Hyun-kyung (Young Lady and Gentleman).

With music playing dramatically over the sequence, the new teaser begins with Hye-ryul and Geun-woo holding hands in front of the press. We then cut away to scenes from Geun-woo’s affair and the intermittent text screens read: “A story about the hidden secrets of people who have everything!”

The teaser then jumps to Hye-ryul’s parents, looking dire, while step-grandma puts her game face on. The family gathers in the foyer to welcome their guests. But both Geun-woo and Hye-ryul are stricken by who or what they see. The video then comes to a close on an ominous shot, with an unknown body falling into the water.

Directed by PD Yoo Hyun-ki with scripts by Oh Ga-kyu, JTBC’s The Empire of Law premieres September 24 in the weekend slot.
