3 Kinds Of Chemistry Woo Do Hwan Shows Off In “Joseon Attorney”

 

 

Woo Do Hwan is captivating viewers with his portrayal of Kang Han Soo in “Joseon Attorney”!

 

“Joseon Attorney” tells the story of an oejibu (attorney in Joseon Dynasty) who takes revenge on an enemy that caused the death of his parents through a trial. Although the drama starts with revenge, it depicts the growth of the protagonist who gradually becomes a real attorney that cares for the people and exemplifies how revenge stems from loneliness. Woo Do Hwan stars as the charming attorney Kang Han Soo.

 

Woo Do Hwan has more than proved himself to be a man of many faces and layers in “Joseon Attorney,” and nothing reveals this more than how his character Kang Han Soo transforms depending on the people who surround him. Take a look at three different types of relationships and chemistry Woo Do Hwan shows off through his stellar performance in this drama.

 

Spoilers

1. Heart-fluttering affection: Kang Han Soo x Lee Yeon Joo

When it comes to Lee Yeon Joo (WJSN’s Bona), Kang Han Soo becomes a very “tough on the outside, soft on the inside” type of guy. As they work together to win every case that’s thrown in front of them, Kang Han Soo and Lee Yeon Joo begin to become each other’s source of support. While their beginning was full of quarreling and endless bickering, in episode 5, viewers were finally able to see the two grow closer. As Kang Han Soo helps Lee Yeon Joo dress up as a man, neither can meet the other’s bashful gaze. They’re swept up in an atmosphere that’s electrified with excitement and maybe a bit of nerve as they venture into this new territory. For all the time they’ve spent together, a very close sense of loyalty, affection, and other sweet emotions have naturally built up between Kang Han Soo and Lee Yeon Joo, and viewers will smile as they see this new side of these beloved characters.

 

2. Closer than family: Kang Han Soo x Dong Chi

Kang Han Soo and Dong Chi (Lee Gyu Sung) are probably closer to each other than they are to their actual families—and that’s no exaggeration. They lean on each other for support when they plan their next course of action, share their joy and sadness, and stay strong for one another when things get tough. Their chemistry can only be described as amusing and delightful, and these two create the more comical elements of “Joseon Attorney.”

 

At the very first case to occur in Hanyang (present-day Seoul), the two showed great synchronization and synergy as they worked together to bring everyone to Kang Han Soo’s side, and the two of them shouting the exact same exclamation of excitement when trying some delicious gukbap (soup with rice) showed their strong bond in a much more humorous way.

 

3. Savage revenge: Kang Han Soo x Master Jang & Park Je Soo

Kang Han Soo is hungry for revenge on the people who falsely accused his parents and had them murdered in cold blood. As Kang Han Soo succeeded in punishing both Master Jang (Lee Joon Hyuk) and Park Je Soo (Jo Hee Bong) through their litigations, the entire flow of the drama changed. Gone was the sly and free-spirited Kang Han Soo, and in his place stood a man full of anger and savage brutality that added an unrivaled tension to “Joseon Attorney.”

“Joseon Attorney” airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. KST.

Misunderstandings Arise Between WJSN’s Bona And VIXX’s Cha Hak Yeon In “Joseon Attorney”

DRAMA PREVIEW

 

The rift between WJSN’s Bona and VIXX’s Cha Hak Yeon (N) continues to grow on MBC’s “Joseon Attorney.”

 

“Joseon Attorney” stars Woo Do Hwan as Kang Han Soo, an oejibu (an attorney in the Joseon dynasty) who seeks to avenge the death of his parents through a trial. Bona stars as idealistic princess Lee Yeon Joo, who also seeks to avenge her father using the law, while Cha Hak Yeon plays her fiancé Yoo Ji Seon, the Joseon-era equivalent of their city’s mayor.

Spoilers

Previously on “Joseon Attorney,” Yeon Joo asked Ji Seon not to interfere in her business, causing cracks to form in the engaged couple’s relationship. In contrast to the firm, composed Yeon Joo, Ji Seon was visibly hurt and upset by her request.

 

In newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming episode, the distance between Yeon Joo and Ji Seon widens even further. Although Yeon Joo is grateful to Ji Seon after wrapping up the Cheongsan murder case, she still feels uncomfortable and awkward around him. When asking her the reason why, Ji Seon brings up Han Soo, and Yeon Joo is shocked to learn that Ji Seon is aware of what happened during Han Soo’s childhood.

 

With misunderstandings piling up between the couple, the air grows icy and fraught with tension. Although Ji Seon tries to express his concern for Yeon Joo, she is characteristically direct in telling him exactly how she feels—then coldly turning her back on him.

 

Spoiler

 

The producers of “Joseon Attorney” commented, “[The upcoming episodes] will tell the intense story of the relationship between Yeon Joo, who is determined to walk her own path solely on behalf of the people, and Ji Seon, who feels worried, nervous, and all sorts of complicated emotions watching Yeon Joo. Please keep an eye on what kind of changes lie in store for these two people, who had no choice but to get engaged.”

 

The next episode of “Joseon Attorney” will air on April 21 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

Woo Do Hwan Faces An Unexpected Crisis As WJSN’s Bona Worriedly Looks On In “Joseon Attorney”

 

MBC’s “Joseon Attorney” has shared an intriguing sneak peek of its next episode!

 

MBC’s “Joseon Attorney” is a drama starring Woo Do Hwan as Kang Han Soo, an oejibu (an attorney in the Joseon dynasty) who seeks to avenge the death of his parents through a trial. WJSN’s Bona stars as idealistic princess Lee Yeon Joo, who also seeks to avenge her father using the law, while VIXX’s Cha Hak Yeon (N) plays her fiancé Yoo Ji Seon, the Joseon-era equivalent of their city’s mayor.

 

In the previous episode of “Joseon Attorney,” Han Soo agreed to take on a case offered to him by none other than King Yi Hyul (Song Geon Hee). As the case deals with constitutional law, it will be vastly different from past legal proceedings that Han Soo has taken.

 

In newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming episode, Han Soo is left helpless and flustered when he is suddenly arrested by the government troops and the Ministry of Justice who meticulously serves him with proof and reason as to why he’s being arrested. Seeing this, Yeon Joo tries to save him but to no avail.

 

 

At this moment, a shocking remark from Yoo Ji Seon instantly turns the atmosphere icy. Kang Han Soo cannot hold back his anger at what Ji Seon says, as Lee Yeon Joo also reacts coldly, which hints at Yeon Joo and Ji Seon’s relationship that will begin to crack even more.

 

Spoiler

 

The producers of “Joseon Attorney” teased, “In the 10th episode, Yeon Joo and Ji Seon will be complicatedly involved as to why Han Soo is being arrested. Please look forward to how the three will unravel the twisted thread of their relationship.”

This episode of “Joseon Attorney” will air on April 29 at 9:50 p.m. KST!

[frozentundra]

Thought today's episode (ep 11) was good. Really painful, though! The script digs in with details like the shoes (ouuuuuch), and the actors are doing a great job following through to the end. You can really feel both of their hurt so much. They've both got well defined personalities so that you can sort of predict how they will act if you throw them into a particular plot turn, and our attorney Han Soo is coming unglued in his own erratic way. He's really not being fair to the princess and her brother, but that hurt runs deep. This is a good comeback for Woo Do Hwan, and  he's nailing it.

[frozentundra]

I wish more people were watching this one. I just think Woo Do Hwan is going a great job, and since it's his comeback, that's important. I also feel like a good drama will both entertain, and leave you with something solid and real to think about. Yes, yes, it's a revenge story about ancient Joseon, but this weekend's episodes dealt with a lot of issues people still face in terms of an imbalance of power, of privilege and of those who don't have privilege. I could really understand and identify with both our lawyer and our princess--on the one hand, he's understandably enraged at the wealthy class that has money and power at the expense of justice and equality. And of course she was born into that, so she becomes a natural target for that anger (especially after she er, neglected to tell him about her true identity). On the other hand, I see someone who really has tried to be an ally and to make changes (even before meeting him--she wasn't just doing it to get him to like her), and is frustrated because none of her attempts seem to be deep enough to really solve anything. She has been trying to help the whole time, and is just getting screamed at, with little change to the actual situation. I feel like both of these people exist today, in many different situations wherever there is a large power imbalance in the world (the exact details may change depending on your local history and culture.) 

 

In other plot notes, I am betting that Yeon Joo was not actually lying about her birthday. My theory is that she was actually born on that date, but because it was a workers' holiday, the royal family didn't want to confuse her special day with that of the lower classes, and declared her official birthday on another day. But we'll see.
