Lee Je-hoon and Ha Young Team Up for SBS's New Drama 'Victory is Possible'
'Victory is Possible' is a cheerful comic legal detective series about a ragtag law office led by former lawyer and current office manager Kwon Baek, who turns seemingly unwinnable cases into victories with unconventional methods. Set to air in 2027, the drama is directed by Kwon Da-som, known for co-directing 'Connection' and 'My Demon', and written by Jung Jin-young and Kim Ui-chan, who co-wrote 'Soonpoong Clinic', 'Can't Stop Them', and 'Three Guys and Three Girls'.
The drama raises expectations with Lee Je-hoon and Ha Young in the lead roles. Lee Je-hoon, who claimed his second acting grand prize last year with 'Taxi Driver 3', and Ha Young, who rose to global attention with 'Trauma Center', are expected to create a powerful synergy.
Lee Je-hoon takes on the role of 'Kwon Baek', a former star lawyer turned office manager of the law firm Victory. After losing his lawyer's license due to a bribery scandal, Kwon Baek makes a grand comeback as the quirky office manager of a shabby law office he established with a group of misfits. Having experienced both success and failure, Kwon Baek uses his newfound confidence to uncover truths, set traps, and stage shows, proving to be more capable and entertaining than ever.
Ha Young plays 'Yeo Sim-hee', a new lawyer who, despite lacking money and connections, is exceptionally diligent. Unaware of Kwon Baek's fall from grace due to the bribery scandal, she accepts his offer to become the chief lawyer at the law firm Victory. Initially disappointed by her fallen role model, Yeo Sim-hee becomes inspired by Kwon Baek's foresight and grows into a competent lawyer under his mentorship.
Lee Je-hoon and Ha Young are set to enhance the drama with their captivating character portrayals and the dynamic relationship between their characters. The drama promises to heighten interest with the bickering yet close-knit relationship between the office manager and lawyer, evolving into a partnership that transcends mere mentorship. Anticipation is high for the 'victorious combination' of Lee Je-hoon and Ha Young.
