SBS Unveils Teaser for New Drama 'Shin-Irang Law Office' Starring Yoo Yeon-seok

SBS has released the first teaser for its new Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin-Irang Law Office,' marking the beginning of Yoo Yeon-seok's adventure as a controversial lawyer set to shake up the legal world of Seocho-dong.

Premiering on March 13th, 'Shin-Irang Law Office' follows the story of 'possessed lawyer' Shin-Irang, who resolves the grudges of the deceased, and 'cold-blooded elite lawyer' Han Na-hyun, who is determined to win at all costs. The drama blends fantasy and legal genres, offering a unique setting with a thrilling narrative, humor, warmth, and tension. Yoo Yeon-seok's performance as the lawyer who can embody various quirky clients is highly anticipated.

The teaser released today (13th) opens with Yoo Yeon-seok's 'Academy-worthy' acting. With the unexpected line, "Do you still see me as a lawyer?" Shin-Irang's unconventional actions unfold in the courtroom. His expressions and gestures change dramatically, from speaking like an old man to acting like a child, shaking up the atmosphere with each possessed character. Observers are left bewildered, wondering, "What is this lunatic?"

The character who turns the legal world upside down is none other than 'possessed lawyer' Shin-Irang, who starts seeing ghosts after opening a law office in a former shaman's house. As he admits, "Sometimes I lose my mind," Shin-Irang finds himself straddling the line between reality and the unseen world.

A formidable partner appears before this problematic lawyer: Han Na-hyun (played by Lee Som), a cold-blooded elite lawyer who doesn't believe in ghosts. Known for her relentless pursuit of victory, Han Na-hyun is a 100% win-rate purist. Shin-Irang's supernatural approach to cases makes him an enigma to her. However, as bizarre cases unfold, Han Na-hyun begins to change, saying, "I can't let Shin fight alone. I'll help now." Despite being unfazed by Shin-Irang's flirtations, a subtle romantic tension begins to brew between them. The reason behind Han Na-hyun's decision to team up with Shin-Irang piques curiosity.

Adding to the tension is Yang Do-kyung (played by Kim Kyung-nam), a law firm representative who targets Shin-Irang and Han Na-hyun. He disrupts the balance of power surrounding the cases, challenging the lawyers with, "Let's see how long you can hold out." As threats against Shin-Irang become more blatant, a shocking scene involving a dump truck accident pushes the situation to the brink.

With the possessed lawyer Shin-Irang, the cold-hearted partner Han Na-hyun, and their dangerous adversary Yang Do-kyung, the characters' paths intertwine in the heart of Seocho-dong's legal world, setting the stage for an unpredictable adventure. How Shin-Irang and Han Na-hyun become allies, the outcome of their tumultuous cases, and whether their relationship evolves into a 'possessed romance' are questions that intrigue viewers. All will be revealed when 'Shin-Irang Law Office' premieres on Friday, March 13th at 9:50 PM.
