The gripping legal drama 'Honor: Her Court' on ENA continues to captivate audiences even during the holiday season. On January 16th, the trio of female lawyers, portrayed by Lee Na-young, Jung Eun-chae, and Lee Chung-ah, confronts a scandalous past head-on.
In the previous episode's cliffhanger, prosecutor Park Jae-yeol, played by Seo Hyun-woo, made a tense appearance at the law firm L&J (Listen & Join), heightening the suspense. As Yoon Ra-young (Lee Na-young), Kang Shin-jae (Jung Eun-chae), and Hwang Hyun-jin (Lee Chung-ah) delve into the truth behind the secretive app 'Connect In,' their intertwined pasts add to the urgency.
Ahead of the fifth episode airing on the 16th, a preview clip reveals a tense standoff between Kang Shin-jae and Park Jae-yeol. When Kang Shin-jae probes, "You've regained your memory," Park Jae-yeol retorts, "I've also obtained evidence." This suggests he has regained his memory and pressured his wife, Hong Yeon-hee (Baek Eun-hye), a forensic lab chief, to confirm that blood traces from the crime scene match Hwang Hyun-jin's DNA. Park's intent to use this as leverage against the L&J trio is evident.
Despite being shaken by past traumas, Yoon Ra-young's resolve stands out. She declares, "We won't let him silence us; we'll strike first," signaling her decision to take the offensive against Park's pressure. Unable to access 'Connect In,' she boldly declared herself as bait in a live interview, raising anticipation for her next move.
A scene captures Yoon Ra-young visiting Park Jae-yeol's home, leaving viewers questioning whether it's a risky move or a strategic choice to uncover new leads. The possibility of re-engaging with Hong Yeon-hee also arises, as her stance towards her husband, whom she calls 'hell,' remains uncertain. Will she continue as his pawn, or will she ally with Yoon Ra-young?
The production team stated, "Yoon Ra-young, Kang Shin-jae, and Hwang Hyun-jin confront their scandalous past head-on. However, Park Jae-yeol's grip on their past is formidable. As always, the trio of lawyers seeks a breakthrough. Join us for the 2026 holiday season with 'Honor' to see how they counter his threats and continue their pursuit of 'Connect In.'"
Episode 5 of 'Honor' airs tonight (16th) at 10 PM on ENA, and is available on KT Genie TV and Coupang Play.
