SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin Irang law office' (directed by Shin Jung-hoon, written by Kim Ga-young·Kang Cheol-gyu, produced by Studio S·Mongjakso) opens the door to an even stronger second act. With fateful changes foretold for 'ghost-specialist lawyer' Shin Irang (Yoo Yeon-seok) and 'cold-blooded ace lawyer' Han Na-hyun (Esom), we picked three viewing points that will turn the course of the drama.
#1. Yoo Yeon-seok X Esom full cooperation, 'will they become "possession-led partners"?'
The biggest element of expectation is undoubtedly the change in the relationship between Shin Irang and Han Na-hyun. In episode 7, Shin Irang announced his complete awakening as a "ghost-specialist lawyer" by exuding a mysterious scent, and Han Na-hyun left the major law firm Taebaek. The two, who began as adversaries, now understand each other's wounds and even share the "dead's secrets." In particular, a still cut showing Han Na-hyun together at Shin Irang law office was released, raising expectations for full cooperation. Shin Irang, who reads the truth of the deceased, and Han Na-hyun, who boasts cold legal analysis, are expected to deliver a "possession-led teamwork" that will provide the catharsis of the second act.
#2. sisters' reunion, and Esom's awakening?
The reunion between Han Na-hyun and her dead older sister Han So-hyun (Hwang Bo-reum-byeol), which capped episode 8's ending, forms the emotional core of the second act. In tonight's (the 10th) broadcast, the "our happy time" of the two sisters, sad and brilliant because it cannot last forever, was previewed. The tender time the sisters face each other by borrowing Shin Irang's body and the final sincerity that older sister Han So-hyun wants to convey to younger sister Han Na-hyun are expected to move viewers to tears. Along with this, the hidden family history of Han Na-hyun, who after her sister's death changed from a girl who dreamed of becoming a singer into a cynical lawyer, is also a viewing point not to be missed.
#3. villain Kim Kyeong-nam's provocation & chairman father Choi Gwang-il's return, full-scale war with 'Taebaek'?
There is another person who has grasped Shin Irang's secret: Taebaek's representative Yang Do-kyung (Kim Kyeong-nam). Humiliated in his pride after losing repeatedly to an unfamiliar rookie lawyer, Yang Do-kyung began to suspect, after investigating Shin Irang, that he "sees ghosts." He informed Han Na-hyun of this and warned, "be careful of Shin Irang," but Han Na-hyun responded, "Taebaek without the chairman is no longer Taebaek," and ran toward Shin Irang. He tried to entice Han Na-hyun with the overseas training card, but was ultimately rejected, and Yang Do-kyung's anger is expected to turn into a sharp provocation against Shin Irang. Meanwhile, a still cut released today (the 10th) teases the return of Taebaek's chairman and Yang Do-kyung's father Yang Byung-il (Choi Gwang-il), which sharply raises the drama's tension. Questions are reaching a peak about how Yang Byung-il's appearance will shake up the second act's balance and what threats will befall Shin Irang and Han Na-hyun.
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin Irang law office' episode 9 will be broadcast tonight (the 10th) at 9:50 p.m.
