OMONA THEY DID(N'T)!

“Switch: Change the World” will be the story of a conman suddenly becoming a prosecutor and using his skills to take down those who try to avoid the law.  Jang Geun Suk will play the charismatic and brilliant Sa Do Chan, who is smart enough to become a prosecutor but due to a reason that has not been revealed yet, becomes a conman instead. With both a legal mind and conman tricks up his sleeve, he prefers to only scam people with a shady past.

Alongside him will be Han Ye Ri playing Oh Ha Ra, a passionate prosecutor who overcame all of her obstacles with pure talent alone. She has been close friends with Baek Joon Soo since they were in school, and when he is attacked during a case involving a new strain of drugs, she stumbles upon Sa Do Chan, who looks exactly like Baek Joon Soo. Though she hesitates at first to work with a conman, she strikes up an uneasy partnership with him to get revenge for her friend and solve the case.

In this drama, Jang Geun Suk plays a con artist with the brains to pass the bar exam, although he was somehow unable to become a prosecutor. Because he’s as knowledgeable as a prosecutor but not actually a real one, he’s not bound by their rules and ethics and thus can navigate investigations more freely.

The drama describes itself as approaching justice from the line between legal and illegal, and also sends a satirical message. With that kind of character description driving the plot, I can already envision the clashing between the upright prosecutor (Han Ye Ri) and the faker who nevertheless seems to be working toward the same ultimate goal. There is no further info on what roles Jung Woong In, Park Ho San and Jo Hee Bong will be playing.

Switch: Change the World will be a Wednesday-Thursday drama following the current drama Return, and will premiere in March.

I love Han Ye Ri and the supporting cast, but JGS and a legal drama? Not sure I can handle that. :/
