Falling in love with ‘sub-male lead’ Cha Hak-yeon

A behind-the-scenes still showing the passionate acting of actress Cha Hak-yeon, who is playing a passionate role in MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Joseon Lawyer', has been released.

In the released photo, Cha Hak-yeon shows a dignified appearance that enhances synchronization with the character and does not put down the script even during breaks, raising high expectations for the passionate performance he will show in the future.

Cha Hak-yeon, who plays the role of Yoo Ji-seon, an honest person who walks her own path as Pan-yoon, who practices the laws of the Joseon Dynasty, is attracting attention by transforming into the character itself, not only with shining visuals, but also with restrained movements and clear pronunciation and vocalization. The actor's efforts and passion to improve the character's perfection shine even more on set. Not only rehearsals and monitoring, but also the way she reads and studies the script seriously at every moment, gives us an idea of the background behind Cha Hak-yeon's ability to digest the character of Pan Yoon.

In the 5th episode of 'Chosun Lawyer', which aired on the 15th, Cha Hak-yeon revealed her purely loving side towards Yeon-joo (played by Kim Ji-yeon). Even though he is a fiancé, he supports Yeo-gak without anyone knowing that it might harm Yeon-joo and steadfastly carries on with his love, which evokes regret.

In the released flashback scene, Ji-seon and Yeon-joo, who had a fresh romance, are now at odds in the current litigation process, and curiosity is growing about the unpredictable development that the two will unfold amidst the changed temperature difference.

Her agency 51K said, “Actress Cha Hak-yeon put a lot of effort into portraying the character of ‘Yoo Ji-seon.’ Although the character Pan Yun has a detailed and sharp exterior, I constantly researched to flexibly depict the character's numerous concerns and emotions. In particular, the sight of Pan-yoon 'Yu Ji-seon', a fair-minded person who does not put power first, showing a stubborn yet honest side in front of love will be even more attractive to viewers. “We ask for your love and interest in actor Cha Hak-yeon, who will show off more and more as the episode progresses.”

‘The Joseon Lawyer’ airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
