A new video teaser and beautifully blue poster has come out for MBC’s Joseon Lawyer, featuring our title’s hero Woo Do-hwan (The King: Eternal Monarch) at the front and center.
At the onset of our story, Kang Han-soo (Woo Do-hwan) begins his journey with the purpose of revenge. But on his path to justice, his eyes become opened to the people in need around him. He learns how to be a true hero by using his skill set to make a difference in the world.
The new teaser begins with Han-soo arriving in the big city of Hanyang, where he’s asked what he will do now. Han-soo replies that he’ll do what he’s always done and as we watch trouble unfold in the streets, a man declares in voiceover that you should win using the law. In the sequence, we read that: “The law is not power… it belongs to the people.”
We then cut to Han-soo walking through a cheering crowd and Bona (Twenty Five Twenty One) comes to greet him with a smile. Han-soo is appalled, though, when she does a cute spin to show off her disguise, and a sullen Cha Hak-yeon (Tomorrow) watches our pair from a distance.
At the palace, we get a quick glimpse of our power-walking ministers Chun Ho-jin (My Liberation Notes) and Choi Moo-sung (Insider), while the continuing text screens introduce Han-soo as: “The man who will open his ears to the people’s resentment.”
Our hero then announces, “I am lawyer Kang Han-soo,” and the teaser comes to a close as he reassures his client to not be discouraged, advising that you need spirit to fight a lawsuit.
Co-directed by PD Kim Seung-ho (Twenty Five Twenty One) and PD Lee Han-joon (The Golden Spoon) with scripts by Choi Jin-young (Seven Day Queen), MBC’s fictional sageuk Joseon Lawyer will be taking over the weekend slot starting March 31.
