The FREE defense of Jung Kyung-ho begins.
tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Pro Bono' (writer Moon Yoo-seok, director Kim Seong-yoon) is a human courtroom drama about a self-serving judge obsessed with advancement who unwillingly becomes a public interest lawyer and gets trapped in the corner office of a mega law firm, in a zero-revenue public interest team, leading to chaotic events.
With the first broadcast set for Dec. 6 (Sat), Kang Da-wit (played by Jung Kyung-ho), who will be in charge of public interest cases in the drama, directly executes pro bono in a free-lawyer teaser video that has been released, raising curiosity.
The free-lawyer teaser video begins with Kang Da-wit standing in the middle of the street in a neat suit. Holding up a placard that reads 'Pro Bono,' Kang Da-wit smiles leisurely as if he had anticipated the murmuring passersby asking, "What is pro bono?"
Then, proudly flipping the placard to show the slightly easier phrase "FREE defense," he intuitively conveys the concept of pro bono as free legal defense for the public interest. Kang Da-wit's face, showing pride in the thoroughly prepared situation, brings a smile to viewers.
But the situation soon takes an unexpected turn. People mistake FREE defense for FREE hug and begin to embrace Kang Da-wit one after another. In the blink of an eye, surrounded by a barrage of hugs, Kang Da-wit urgently shouts, "It's not a FREE hug, it's FREE defense!" He then leaves a line, "Don't you know? Pro bono?!" that raises curiosity.
In this way, 'Pro Bono' playfully weaves the meaning of pro bono into a short mishap through the free-lawyer teaser video, piquing interest. 'Pro Bono,' which will offer viewers entertainment and empathy this winter with the chaotic daily lives of public interest lawyers who take on cases without compensation for the public good, is already anticipated.
