Jeon Hye-bin Shares Heartfelt Reflections as 'Esquire' Concludes

Jeon Hye-bin has shared her heartfelt reflections as the JTBC weekend drama 'Esquire: Lawyers Dreaming of Lawyers' (hereafter 'Esquire') comes to an end.

In 'Esquire,' Jeon Hye-bin portrayed the character 'Heo Min-jung,' a late-blooming associate attorney and a key player in the litigation team at the law firm Yulim. From her first appearance to the final episode, she exuded both intellectual charisma and warm humanity.

Early in the series, Min-jung earned the nickname 'Cool Lawyer' and became a role model for new attorneys with her strong-willed demeanor. As the series progressed, she revealed her hidden past and pain, adding a twist to the plot. Notably, scenes where her ex-husband's mistress approached her for a divorce case and when her ex-husband and mother-in-law caused a commotion at her workplace provided viewers with a refreshing sense of relief.

Her relationship with her colleague Lee Jin-woo (played by Lee Hak-joo) offered a sweet romantic tension. Despite initially pushing him away due to their past and age difference, Min-jung eventually accepted his heartfelt proposal, showcasing a delightful transformation.

Min-jung also supported her juniors by listening to their concerns and offering advice, demonstrating her warmth as a senior colleague. Jeon Hye-bin skillfully portrayed the character's multifaceted personality and complex emotions with subtle expressions and a strong voice, further solidifying the drama's narrative.

Through her agency, Jeon Hye-bin expressed, "From the moment I encountered 'Esquire' until now, it has been an indescribably happy time. Playing Heo Min-jung allowed me to learn, laugh, and cry, and I have a special affection for this project. I sincerely hope this drama leaves a lasting impression in your hearts and that Heo Min-jung offers a small sense of comfort and empathy. I am truly grateful to the viewers who loved this work, and I will continue to greet you with good performances in the future."
