Actor Kim Kap-soo shared his thoughts on the finale of PROBONO.
Kim Kap-soo played Oh Gyu-jang, the founder of the country's largest law firm O&Partners, in the tvN weekend drama PROBONO, which ended on the 11th.
Kim Kap-soo said through his agency F&F Entertainment, "It doesn't feel real that 'PROBONO' has already come to an end. Although I joined from the middle of the drama, I was happy throughout the shoot because I was able to complete a great work with good actors and staff," he said.
He added warmly, "I sincerely thank the viewers who loved 'PROBONO' until the end. As you have shown so much interest and support, I will continue to show you my best. I wish you many blessings in the new year 2026."
Kim Kap-soo, who fully embodied Oh Gyu-jang, shone until the end. In particular, in episode 11, the true nature of Oh Gyu-jang, called a 'living legend of the legal world,' surfaced. A recording revealing circumstances that Oh Gyu-jang intervened in the guilty verdict trial of Jang Hyun-bae (Song Young-chang) was made public.
In the recording, Oh Gyu-jang contacted Shin Jung-seok (Lee Moon-sik) directly to check on the progress of the trial and pressured him with remarks intended to express concern about Jang Hyun-bae's detention. His bare face, wielding power without hesitation outside the courtroom and even manipulating judicial personnel, shocked viewers.
In the finale he denied allegations of interfering in the trial and called himself a 'mediator,' not a lobbyist. Oh Gyu-jang argued that his actions were choices for the national interest, saying, "Someone has to play a role behind the scenes, getting their hands dirty," while proposing a Supreme Court justice seat to Kang Da-wit (Jung Kyungho).
The proposal came back like a boomerang. As conversations with Kang Da-wit in court and even the contract signed with Jang Hyun-bae were revealed, Oh Gyu-jang stepped down from O&Partners, which he had built.
In this way, Kim Kap-soo led the drama as a central villain wielding immense power in PROBONO. He convincingly portrayed the pragmatic side of a person in power and the process of his downfall until the end, reaffirming his reputation as an actor viewers trust.
