Actor Yoon Na Moo surprised viewers by confessing a sad family history.
On the broadcasts of tvN weekend drama PROBONO (written by Moon Yoo-seok / directed by Kim Sung-yoon / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Sequenceone, Lotte Cultureworks, Studio Flow) episodes 7 and 8, which aired on the 27th (Sat) and 28th (Sun), Yoon Na Moo played the role of Jang Yeongsil and displayed a weighty presence, solidly supporting one pillar of the drama.
In episode 7, the PROBONO team became greatly unsettled when they learned that team member Kang Dawit (played by Jung Kyungho) had joined the team after being blackmailed with a bribery video. Amid the confused team atmosphere, Jang Yeongsil steadied the group by saying, "Doing good work doesn't require a certificate of being a good person. In any case, Attorney Kang has done his best and has performed public interest work well," playing a reliable "pillar." Yoon Na Moo completed the character of Jang Yeongsil—someone anyone would trust and follow—through a frank manner of speaking and sincere looks.
Also, during the case-solving process, a "genius moment" unfolded using an app he developed himself. Jang Yeongsil provided a decisive clue by tracing the route through which Elia's (played by Jung Ji-so) video was uploaded using an app that can analyze internet traffic changes in real time. It was a moment that proved he was an eccentric lawyer with outstanding ability, capable of developing an app on his own, in contrast to his usually awkward appearance.
In episode 8, Jang Yeongsil's shocking family history was revealed. Outraged by the story that client Song Ji-hye had suffered domestic violence from her uncle but that legal punishment would be difficult, Jang Yeongsil revealed that his father had two wives and that he was the child of the second wife. He elicited sympathy by confessing that he had been subjected to violence by his father and had stuttered when speaking.
He firmly pointed out the injustice of domestic violence, saying, "That was a crime. You must not cover up a crime in the name of family anymore," and showed a strong determination to see the trial through for Song Ji-hye. The scene in which he revealed his own painful past to persuade the team for his client moved viewers.
In this way, Yoon Na Moo has increased the drama's completeness by convincingly portraying the complex inner life of Jang Yeongsil. The revelation of the previously hidden family history in this episode deepened curiosity about Jang Yeongsil's narrative. Expectations are growing for Yoon Na Moo's future performance as the story unfolds.
Meanwhile, the tvN weekend drama PROBONO airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
