Premiering on October 2nd, 'Honor: Her Court' features Lee Na-young as Yoon Ra-young, a celebrity lawyer known for her eloquence. The first episode garnered a nationwide rating of 3.1% and a 2.9% rating in the metropolitan area, setting a new record for ENA's Monday-Tuesday dramas, according to Nielsen Korea's paid household data.
In the debut episode, Yoon Ra-young (played by Lee Na-young) appears on a debate show discussing the unconstitutionality of video testimony from minor victims. She skillfully challenges her opponent's arguments, employing strategies to provoke and dominate the discussion. Her sharp retort, "You do it too, don't you? This kind of insult, intimidation, intentional repetitive questioning. To victims in court," strikes a nerve with her adversary.
Yoon Ra-young's bold response to claims of defending the accused as 'nonsense' further cements her status as a celebrity lawyer. Despite her confident public persona and resilience against online criticism, Yoon Ra-young harbors a troubled past. Scars on her hand and fragmented memories of lying in the grass hint at a hidden history and deep-seated trauma.
Lee Na-young previously expressed her excitement about the role, stating, "The character and genre are distinctly different from what I've played before, and I wanted to take on the challenge. This project has broadened my horizons as an actress." Her portrayal of Yoon Ra-young, with her striking visuals and underlying charisma, captivated viewers from the first episode. Audiences are eager to see how Lee Na-young will continue to develop her character in 'Honor.'
'Honor: Her Court' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM.
