On the 13th, Jung Eun-chae, who stars in the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Honor: Her Court' (hereafter referred to as 'Honor'), was interviewed at a cafe in Gangnam, Seoul.
'Honor' is a mystery thriller that follows three female lawyers as they confront a massive scandal from their past. Jung Eun-chae plays Kang Shin-jae, the head of L&J (Listen and Join), a law firm specializing in female crime victims. She stars alongside Lee Na-young and Lee Chung-ah, portraying friends of 20 years.
In the drama, Jung Eun-chae's character chooses to get engaged to Baek Tae-joo, played by Yeon Woo-jin, the CEO of IT company The Prime, to protect L&J. Jung described their relationship as "a meeting of masters exploring each other's nature and temperament." She added, "It was a collaboration for mutual benefit, a peculiar relationship where neither was truly on the other's side."
When asked if there was any romantic feeling between the characters, Jung Eun-chae replied, "There was some, but it stemmed from a sense of camaraderie, a delicate emotion akin to brotherhood. However, it wasn't a lasting feeling."
Reflecting on her acting chemistry with Yeon Woo-jin, Jung Eun-chae said, "This was my first time working with Yeon Woo-jin, and I was grateful for his skill and preparation. Fortunately, our energies matched well, allowing us to complete filming successfully."
