‘Pro Bono’ is a comedy drama that follows the unpredictable journey of a success-driven, materialistic judge, Kang David (played by Jung Kyung Ho), who unexpectedly transitions into a public interest lawyer.
Jung Kyung Ho will portray Kang David, a former judge with an impeccable work ethic and a pristine reputation, who amassed hundreds of thousands of social media followers. Just as he’s on the brink of an even more successful career, he becomes entangled in an unforeseen incident, resigns from his position as a judge, and begins a new journey as a public interest lawyer within a modest nonprofit setting. The drama will explore whether Kang David, driven by ambition and materialism, can reclaim his former success.
So Ju Yeon will portray Park Ki Bbeum, a passionate public interest lawyer who advocates for human rights, social justice, and the protection of good citizens, and believes in the power of the law. Her love for diverse hobbies eventually led her to become a law enthusiast, and she finds fulfillment in her work as a lawyer.
Kang David and Park Ki Bbeum cross paths as lawyers on the public interest team at the non-profit organization ‘Pro Bono’ (meaning “for the public good” in Latin), which handles cases with zero fees and revenue. By using the funds earned from defending large corporations, they offer legal assistance to victims with no other options, working together to achieve genuine justice.
Written by Moon Yoo Seok, known for his hit legal dramas like ‘The Devil Judge’ and ‘Miss Hammurabi,’ and directed by Kim Sung Yoon, the mastermind behind popular shows such as ‘Love in the Moonlight,’ ‘Itaewon Class,’ and ‘The Sound of Magic,’ the drama showcases the dynamic between Kang David, who understands the tactics of the powerful like no one else, and Park Ki Bbeum, whose passion drives her to help those in need. Their collaboration promises to create a thrilling sense of satisfaction.
‘Pro Bono’ is scheduled to debut in the latter half of 2025.
