Actor Kim Kap-soo has returned as an absolute power in the legal world who shows no mercy even to his daughter.
Kim Kap-soo first appeared as Oh Gyu-jang in episode 6 of the tvN weekend drama PROBONO, which aired on the 21st.
That day Oh Gyu-jang (Kim Kap-soo) called his daughter Oh Jeong-in (Lee Yoo-young), who is leading O&Partners after him, into his office. Although he had stepped down to become a firm adviser, Oh Gyu-jang still looked over the stacks of documents and books piled on his desk. After checking the viral PROBONO team's refugee case video, he began the conversation, saying, "Since Judge Kang arrived, there has been no time to be bored."
He calmly shot down Jeong-in's suggestion that he stop working and enjoy hobbies. Oh Gyu-jang said, "Power is my hobby. There is nothing as enjoyable as power in this world. Now that you hold the CEO position, you should understand at least that much," showing a cold, rational attitude that spared no one, not even his daughter.
He also made an unexpected bombshell remark. He ordered the disbanding of the PROBONO team that handles O&Partners' public interest cases. Oh Gyu-jang's sudden and firm directive left Jeong-in flustered.
Even with a brief appearance, Kim Kap-soo played a role that made the drama more tense. With an indifferent expression and a flat tone, he convincingly completed the character of a cold, charismatic strategist. From his first appearance, Kim Kap-soo firmly imprinted the character Oh Gyu-jang on viewers. Expectations are growing for how he will lead PROBONO going forward and for his continued acting performance.
PROBONO is a human courtroom drama about a petty judge obsessed with advancement who unintentionally becomes a public interest lawyer and is confined to the back room of a giant law firm, trapped in a zero-revenue public interest team, leading to all sorts of chaos.
Oh Gyu-jang, played by Kim Kap-soo, is the founder of Korea's top law firm O&Partners. Although he has stepped down from the CEO position and now serves as a firm adviser, he remains at the center of power to the extent of having served as president of the bar association.
Meanwhile, the tvN PROBONO featuring Kim Kap-soo airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
