In the SBS weekend drama 'Shin & Law Office', ace lawyer Han Na-hyun, played by Lee Som, resigns from the prestigious law firm 'Taebaek'.
In 'Shin & Law Office', Han Na-hyun was known as the cold-blooded ace lawyer of 'Taebaek', who only proved herself through results. However, her encounter with Shin I-rang, played by Yoo Yeon-seok, began to crack her solid world. In the previous episode, Han Na-hyun attempted to strategically use Shin I-rang's abilities to win a case, but ultimately, she was moved by the sincerity of the deceased and made a choice that deviated from 'Taebaek's' principles. Her bold move to unlock the kennel and use the dogs to subdue the real culprit provided catharsis for viewers, but it resulted in significant damage to the firm's client, a research lab.
In the preview for episode 7, released on the 3rd, Han Na-hyun appears as a 'resigned' employee, adding a fresh shock. The dangerous collaboration between her and Shin I-rang, balancing between victory and loss, raises curiosity about what ultimately led to her resignation. The video begins with a tense confrontation between Han Na-hyun and Taebaek's representative, Yang Do-kyung, played by Kim Kyung-nam.
Yang Do-kyung approaches the resigned Han Na-hyun, suggesting a study opportunity in New York, saying, “There are times when you win and lose in trials.” However, Han Na-hyun firmly responds, “I have handled the compensation for the research lab,” and without hesitation, repeatedly declines his persistent requests to return, saying, “I’m not going!” Her future actions after leaving 'Taebaek' are drawing significant attention.
The released stills visually capture these relationship changes. Shin I-rang, who declared 'ghost-free' and started taking human clients, and Han Na-hyun, who left 'Taebaek', reunite in front of the courthouse. Han Na-hyun's cold gaze at Shin I-rang, who is sitting on the ground, and Shin I-rang's aggrieved expression towards her, create a humorous contrast. Yang Do-kyung's uncomfortable expression upon witnessing the two adds to the scene.
The production team stated, “The process of Han Na-hyun, who was only cold and rational, becoming a more humane lawyer after meeting the warm variable Shin I-rang will be interesting,” and added, “Look forward to the special collaboration between Shin I-rang and Han Na-hyun, who push each other away but eventually become a team, and the confrontation with Yang Do-kyung.”
Episode 7 of 'Shin & Law Office' airs at 9:50 PM today.
