Kim Hyun Joo and Lee Dong Wook have been cast in Partner, an upcoming KBS legal drama. The show will explore the true nature of humans and seeks to give a realistic portrayal of the Korean legal system and courts.
Kim Hyun Joo stars as Kang Eun Ho, an ajumma – (KP’s note: Who the heck sees Kim Hyun Joo as an ajumma?) – who is belatedly embarking on a career in law. After undergoing all sorts of hardship, she is hired as an attorney at a small law firm in Seoul called Lee Kim. Lee Dong Wook plays Lee Tae Jo, a [seemingly] cold-hearted and snobby attorney at the same firm. Eun Ho and Tae Jo are assigned as partners, but clash due to opposing views – hers being that lawyers “speak up on behalf of those who are victimized” and his being that they’re “just legal businessmen”.
Partner is a 16-episode series to be broadcast starting June 24, following the end of The Accidental Couple. It was moved up ahead of schedule due to legal complications with KBS’s intended Wednesday-Thursday program for summer, Magazine Allo.
