New stills have been released of SBS’s upcoming legal drama Hyena, featuring the first script reading that took place this past October. Attendees of the event included actors Kim Hye-soo (Signal), Joo Ji-hoon (Item), Lee Kyung-young (Vagabond), Kim Ho-jung (Chocolate), and Hwang Bora (Vagabond) among other cast and crew.
The story takes place within the dog-eat-dog world of lawyers, where the competition for survival is ruthlessly self-seeking and driven by the lure of money. At the center of this are lawyers Kim Hye-soo and Joo Ji-hoon, who have a complicated history and rivalry.
Kim Hye-soo plays the role of Jung Geum-ja, a hyena-like lawyer who uses any tactic or means for the sake of money. In personality, she is at times charismatic; at times comedic. As her rival, Joo Ji-hoon plays lawyer Yoon Hee-jae who comes from a wealthy background and is part of society’s elite.
Lee Kyung-young and Kim Ho-jung also play lawyers and, together with most of the supporting cast, will be representing one of the top law firms in South Korea.
Written by Kim Roo-ri and directed by PD Jang Tae-yoo (You From Another Star, Tree With Deep Roots), Hyena is currently set to premiere on February 21 and will be airing Fridays and Saturdays on SBS.
