The Genie TV original drama "Honor" has confirmed the casting of actors Lee Na-young, Jung Eun-chae, and Lee Cheong-a. The fierce and solid solidarity of three lawyer friends fighting to protect "Honor" is set to sweep the home theater.
The Genie TV original drama "Honor" (directed by Park Geon-ho, written by Park Ga-yeon, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by How Pictures) is a mystery thriller featuring three female lawyers confronting a massive scandal from the past head-on. Lee Na-young, Jung Eun-chae, and Lee Cheong-a play 20-year friends who met in college and now work as lawyers specializing in women's crime victims at the law firm L&J (Listen and Join). Additionally, a secret from 20 years ago, which they could never tell anyone, resurfaces, shaking their current lives, and they will demonstrate an inseparable solidarity and determination as they grit their teeth to fight back. In the process of fiercely battling for the victims and to protect their own honor, they pose the heavy question of whether "there is a statute of limitations on revenge."
First, the highly anticipated actress Lee Na-young will play the role of 'Yoon Ra-young,' the star lawyer of L&J. Ra-young is a celebrity lawyer who moves freely in broadcasting with excellent eloquence and stunning appearance, boasting hundreds of thousands of social media followers, and serves as the law firm's external "messenger." However, behind her glamorous exterior lies a long-hidden wound and anxiety. She unexpectedly confronts the shadow of her past that has tormented her. The fierce expression of Lee Na-young, which has not been seen in the drama, is already igniting anticipation and curiosity. There is a growing interest in her striking transformation.
With a mysterious atmosphere and restrained strength, Jung Eun-chae, who has left an indelible impression in each work, plays the representative lawyer of L&J and the leader of the three friends, 'Kang Shin-jae.' Shin-jae possesses a lion-like charisma that overwhelms anyone, skillfully navigating negotiations and threats to achieve her goals while countering witch-hunt-style attacks with humor. The women's crime cases she usually handles become intertwined with the past, tightening the noose around her and putting her in crisis. Having exuded strong charisma as the star 'Moon Ok-gyeong' in the recent drama "Retirement Age," Jung Eun-chae is expected to showcase an even deeper acting world that is 200% "fitting" for the character in this piece.
Finally, the action-oriented lawyer 'Hwang Hyun-jin' is played by Lee Cheong-a, who possesses a clear, solid, and graceful charisma. With a fiery personality, Hyun-jin prefers to take action rather than sit at a desk, causing her sneakers to wear out almost constantly. She resists anything she deems wrong or against her principles without hesitation and often hears advice that being strong leads to breaking. However, her steadfastness begins to waver when her husband, a criminal investigator, starts to dig into her past. Lee Cheong-a's transformation from her soft charisma to her passionate energy is also igniting expectations.
The narrative of three female lawyers fiercely battling against cases intertwined with their pasts, representing female crime victims and engaging in intense truth disputes, is the main point to watch in "Honor." Additionally, the perfect combination of trustworthy actors Lee Na-young, Jung Eun-chae, and Lee Cheong-a has quickly elevated this drama to a highly anticipated original work of Genie TV. The production team stated, "Beyond a simple courtroom drama, we will present the strong and differentiated narrative of female lawyers who unravel cases intricately connected to the past. We will do our utmost to ensure an immersive experience and high quality that compels viewers to follow along to the end."
The Genie TV original drama "Honor" is based on a Swedish drama of the same name. Director Park Geon-ho, who demonstrated sharp awareness of issues and delicate sensibility through the drama "Good or Bad Dong-jae," is in charge of direction, while writer Park Ga-yeon, recognized for her meticulous narrative and genre completeness through the drama "Train," is responsible for the script, completing a solid framework for a compelling mystery thriller.
The Genie TV original drama "Honor" is set to be released in the first half of 2026 through Genie TV and ENA.
