Below, we round up everything you need to know about their ongoing historical revenge series Joseon Attorney.
Everything You Need to Know About the K-Drama “Joseon Attorney”:
The Plot
Joseon Attorney follows Kang Han-su, a devious yet brilliant Joseon Dynasty lawyer who seeks vengeance on the culprit responsible for his parents’ death. While the show starts off with revenge, it’s expected to develop into a healing drama as the venal Han-su eventually becomes known as the people’s attorney, seeking true justice for the unfortunate wronged who need it the most. Director Kim Seung Ho adds, “While watching the citizens of the Joseon Dynasty, viewers living in modern society will be able to cry, laugh, and cheer together.”
The Cast
Woo Do Hwan stars as Kang Han-su, an exploitative lawyer obsessed with money. His viewpoint on life soon changes when he takes on more cases and meets Princess Lee Yeon-joo, a caring and idealistic young woman on a furtive quest to take vengeance herself. Taking on the role is WJSN’s Bona, whom we all know well as superstar fencer Ko Yu-rim from Twenty-Five, Twenty-One.
Viewers can expect a love triangle with VIXX’s N thrown into the mix. Here, he plays Yoo Ji-sun, a judge from a prestigious family, who also happens to be Yeon-joo’s fiance. When our two leads bicker over their contrasting ideals, Ji-sun becomes suspicious and wary of their growing closeness. N, born Cha Hak Yeon, is a K-pop idol and actor who previously starred in dramas like Bad and Crazy (2022) and Mine (2021).
Joining the main trio are Song Geon Hee (Sky Castle, The Tale of Nokdu) and veteran actor Chun Ho Jin (My Liberation Notes, Beyond Evil). The former portrays Joseon’s king, while the latter plays Ji-sun’s corrupt father, Yoo Je-se.
The Crew
If you’re watching the show for Bona, you’ll be glad to know that she reunites with Twenty-Five, Twenty-One director Kim Seung Ho for the series. Describing the actress, Seung Ho shares, “[Bona] is completely unlike the character of Ko Yu-rim, whom she played in her previous drama, and she is a lovely and warm actress with a pure heart. She’s calm, but also cute at the same time. She’s a 100 percent perfect fit for the character of Princess Yeon-joo.”
Joseon Attorney comes out with a new episode every Friday and Saturday on MBC. Those in the Philippines can stream the show on Viu.
