Jung Kyung-ho and So Joo-yeon to Star in Upcoming Legal Drama ‘Pro Bono’

Jung Kyung-ho and So Joo-yeon Collaborate in tvN’s New Drama ‘Pro Bono’

This fall, tvN will premiere ‘Pro Bono’, a new courtroom comedy drama that promises heart, humor, and a deep dive into the world of public interest law. Written by Moon Yu-seok, renowned for hits like ‘The Devil Judge’ and ‘Miss Hammurabi’, and directed by Kim Seong-yoon, the creative mind behind ‘Moonlight Drawn by Clouds’ and ‘Itaewon Class’, the series already has fans buzzing with anticipation.

A Judge Turned Public Defender

Jung Kyung-ho plays Kang Da-wit, a former judge who, after an unexpected scandal, is forced out of his high-profile career and thrown into the underfunded world of public interest law. Known as a legal influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, Kang must now redefine his path, balancing his desire for status with a newfound mission for justice.

The Perfect Partner in Justice

So Joo-yeon stars as Park Ki-bbeum, the idealistic and passionate young lawyer who once fell in love with the beauty of the law. With her deep commitment to human rights and social justice, Park Ki-bbeum stands in stark contrast to Kang Da-wit, creating a dynamic and heartwarming partnership as they navigate the challenges of pro bono work.

Redefining Legal Drama

Set in a tiny office tucked away in a gloomy building, rather than a towering law firm skyscraper, ‘Pro Bono’ highlights lawyers fighting not for profit but for purpose. Together, Kang and Park defend the marginalized using their knowledge of the powerful elite’s tactics, delivering thrilling moments of catharsis and hope.

With a refreshing twist on the typical legal drama and a stellar production team, ‘Pro Bono’ is set to redefine viewers’ expectations and bring warmth and laughter to screens this fall.
