Jin Goo And Seo Eun Soo To Lead JTBC’s Remake Of Japanese Drama “Legal High”

by J. Lim

 

JTBC’s remake of the Japanese series “Legal High” has found its leading actors!

On December 10, it was announced that Jin Goo and Seo Eun Soo have been cast in the leading role for “Legal High.” The drama will tell the story of two completely different lawyers. Go Tae Rim is a lawyer with a 100 percent success rate who knows how to play with the law, and Seo Jae In is a rookie lawyer who believes in the law and justice. The series will be based on the 2012 Japanese drama of the same name.

 

Jin Goo will take on the role of Go Tae Rim, who may be sharp-tongued and full of arrogance, but he also has a 100 percent success rate in his cases. He’s the kind of person who believes the purpose of cases is to win, and to lose would be to give up his status as a lawyer and a human being. He is so talented that as long as you can pay the high legal fees he asks for, a win is guaranteed.

Meanwhile, Seo Eun Soo will play Seo Jae In, who may not have had the highest marks in her class but is second to none when it comes to pursuing justice. She wants to be a just lawyer who helps those in need, but when she’s faced with the reality of the societal mentality that “A lawyer who can’t win is useless,” she puts everything on the line and teams up with GO Tae Rim.

Yoon Park, Chae Jung-ahn confirm casting in Jin Gu’s legal comedy drama

by tineybeanie

TBC’s Legal High has gone on a casting spree. The latest to announce their onboarding include actors Yoon Park (Room No. 9, Radio Romance), Chae Jung-ahn (Suits), and Jung Sang-hoon (Big Forest).

These three will be on the opposite team of the main leads, Jin Gu (Untouchable) and Seo Eun-soo (Hundred Million Stars From the Sky), and they will provide an intense source of rivalry. Legal High is based on a Japanese drama by the same name, which aired from 2012 to 2013, about an almost inhuman lawyer who will stop at nothing and use the most bizarre methods to win his cases.

Jin Gu plays the lawyer whose case success rate is 100-percent, and Seo Eun-soo plays a novice lawyer whose faith in the law is 100-percent. This will be a refreshing comic legal drama about how these two completely different lawyers end up working together. Yoon Park, Chae Jung-ahn, and Jung Sang-hoon have confirmed they’ll be playing lawyers from the bigwig B&G Firm, that poses a threat to Jin Gu’s small office agency.

Yoon Park plays the ace lawyer of B&G, who learned how to win from Jin Gu’s character. However, he has a gentle charisma that’s completely opposite of his mentor. Chae Jung-ahn plays a partner at the B&G firm, whose main role is to be the source of information. Despite her fragile looks, she’s a skilled, practical strategist who prepares all the countermeasures for the B&G team. Finally, Jung Sang-hoon plays an ambitious lawyer who dreams of winning over Jin Gu. Even though he may look mean-spirited, once he gets drunk, his true disposition shows: a pitiful middle-aged man with many emotional scars. He also blacks out each time he drinks.

Jin Goo And Seo Eun Soo Impress At Script Reading For New Legal Comedy

by L. Kim

On January 3, JTBC’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama “Legal High” released photos from their first script read-through.

The reading took place last month with the full cast: Jin Goo, Seo Eun Soo, Yoon Park, Chae Jung Ahn, Jung Sang Hoon, Lee Soon Jae, Kim Byung Ok, Kim Ho Jung, Jang Yoo Sang, and more.

 

Director Kim Jung Hyun expressed his gratitude to the cast. He said, “Thank you for doing this with me. I’ll let you be free, so please act as much as you like.”

Jin Goo, who is expected to transform into an all-time comical character, perfectly portrayed the nuances of his character Go Tae Rim, a sharp-tongued and arrogant lawyer, with just a few lines. Seo Eun Soo plays a novice lawyer named Seo Jae In, and she put her all into her performance, as if it were for an actual take on set. After watching the acting of the two leads, the production crew remarked, “We look forward to the story that Jin Goo and Seo Eun Soo will create, of two people with completely different characters.”

 

Yoon Park, Chae Jung An, and Jung Sang Hoon play lawyers from B&G Law Firm, rivals of Go Tae Rim’s firm. Yoon Park read for the role of Kang Ki Suk, an ace lawyer at B&G law firm who has a calm and gentle, yet strong charisma. Chae Jung Ahn, playing the lawyer Min Joo Kyung, whose looks belie her personality, put her years of acting experience on full display. Jung Sang Hoon, in his portrayal of the motivated lawyer Yoon Sang Goo, added a unique brevity to the reading, putting his own style and spin to his character.

Poster

 

 

The fingers, the bigger mouths, and the big fingers toward the sky, are full of self-confident Koh Taerim characters who are arrogant enough to feel like something they do not like. In addition, a distinctive hair style attracts attention. Jingu called it a "hook head" and said, "It means collecting money and odds with hooks." If you have a huge amount of money, you can see the value of the Taerim at a glance.

 

"Legal High" crew said, "Today's teaser poster contains the character of Koh Taerim. It was made possible thanks to Jingu, who has already transformed into a perfect Tae-rim. The expression and the action, all one is all fair and tender, "he said. "I would like to expect a lot of anticipation until February when the drama will air," he said. (Google translation)

Jin Goo Perfectly Transforms Into An Arrogant Lawyer For Upcoming Drama

by S. Park

Upcoming JTBC drama “Legal High” has released a new poster and stills!

“Legal High” is the remake of the Japanese drama of the same name. It tells the story of an arrogant lawyer named Go Tae Rim (played by Jin Goo), who has a 100 percent success rate and knows how to manipulate the law. He teams up with a rookie lawyer named Seo Jae In (played by Seo Eun Soo), who believes in justice.

The poster shows Jin Goo’s transformation into a monster lawyer. His unique hairstyle, dubbed the “hook hairstyle,” will be his signature look that conveys his determination to rake in money and success. It also shows that he’ll take on any case as long as he’s paid a hefty legal fee.

Go Tae Rim has a sharp tongue, arrogant attitude, and zero humanity, but has outstanding skills. He believes that a trial where he doesn’t win is meaningless and shouts that he’ll give up being a lawyer and a human if he loses a case. It says on the poster, “Is there any other lawyer like this in the world?”

Watch: Jin Goo And Seo Eun Soo Face Off In 1st Teaser For “Legal High”

by S. Park

The first teaser for “Legal High” is here!

“Legal High” will tell the story of arrogant lawyer Go Tae Rim (played by Jin Goo), who has a 100 percent success rate, and rookie lawyer Seo Jae In (played by Seo Eun Soo), who believes in justice. It’s a remake of the 2012 Fuji TV Japanese drama of the same name.

On January 10, JTBC released a remake of the original Japanese drama’s opening clip as the first teaser featuring Jin Goo and Seo Eun Soo.

The teaser begins with Seo Jae In running towards Go Tae Rim with some fierce punches. He easily avoids them before knocking her out with just one finger. Out of frustration, she throws a law book at him and hits him on the head.

The clip gives viewers a glimpse at the actors’ transformations as their new characters. Jin Goo hinted at his character’s smugness, while Seo Eun Soo comically showcased the vigor of a rookie lawyer. The actress cut her hair and showed the lovely charms of Seo Jae In.

A source from the drama said, “There’s a reason why I’m confident the teamwork that will appear on the small screen will be beyond your imagination. It’s thanks to Jin Goo and Seo Eun Soo, who have perfectly transformed into Go Tae Rim and Seo Jae In. The actors did a great job on the remake teaser clip that showed the fun parts of the original drama. Please look forward to the first episode of ‘Legal High’ that has been reborn with the added reality of Korea in 2019 with realistic episodes.”
