Sailing in search of justice in MBC’s Joseon Lawyer

MBC has been steadily dishing out promos for their upcoming sageuk Joseon Lawyer, and this week brought a moody first poster as well as more character stills.

Adding to the never-ending list of lawyers and revenge seekers in K-dramaland, this story’s protagonist is Kang Han-soo – played by Woo Do-hwan (The King: Eternal Monarch) – and he’s after the enemy who killed his parents. But Han-soo’s journey is about growth and finding justice for his family by using the law itself. When he starts to use his legal know-how to help others in need, he aspires to be a true hero for the people and the poster’s tagline reveals his new goal: “My revenge will become justice for the world.”

Also joining Han-soo’s cause is Princess Lee Yeon-joo, played by Bona (Twenty Five Twenty One). She who has a sincere heart for the welfare of Joseon’s people. Determined to personally get involved in helping the nation, she even dons a secret identity to travel outside of the palace walls.

In the new stills, we get our first look at Cha Hak-yeon (Tomorrow) taking on the role of Yoo Ji-sun, a high-ranking official who would be similar to a mayor in today’s world. Although it’s not yet clear where his personal views stand, we’re told that he comes from a prestigious family and somehow gets mixed up in Han-soo and Yeon-joo’s partnership.

Speaking of his family, the new stills also feature Ji-sun’s father, who is played by Chun Ho-jin (My Liberation Notes). Powerful and highly influential within the political circles and the royal palace of Joseon, Yoo Je-sae wields the title of Prime Minister. (Character stills for Kang Han-soo were previously released, as were stills for our princess.)

Written by Choi Jin-young (Seven Day Queen) with PD Kim Seung-ho (Twenty Five Twenty One) at the helm, MBC’s Joseon Lawyer will be launching next month on March 31, following Kokdu: Season of Deity in the weekend slot.
