Watching the just released second teaser for Pride and Prejudice, there’s actually a whiff of the Hero vibe from the J-dorama starring Kimura Takuya about an oddball but brilliant prosecutor working with equally odd prosecutorial colleagues. That’s not a bad thing since Hero (and its sequel) is a smash hit in Japan proving there is always audience appetite for quirky legal dramas where each episode delivers truth prevails justice or evil is punished satisfaction.
Starring tall and wry Choi Jin Hyuk paired with petite spitfire Baek Jin Hee (both have become MBC regulars) the drama centers around the two leads being part of a prosecutorial office led by veteran Choi Min Soo. The experienced prosecutors showed the newly arriving rookies the ropes while finding that different perspectives help crack cases. I do love the character posters featuring the leads in an all-black background with just a table for contrast. It’s an eye-catching visual without making the characters come across as too serious or overly dour.
The last workplace ensemble drama I watched as You’re All Surrounded which took heaping mounds of acting potential and flushed it down the narrative toilet. I have less expectations of P&P and even will go so far as to be proactively fine if the drama mangles both the law and/or the legal systematic workings, just as long as the story is compelling and there is follow through until the end.
Second teaser for Pride and Prejudice:
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Not to hijack this thread Miss K but Han Ji Min is considering the Jekyll Hyde drama opposite Hyun Bin... love her (even though she tends to overdo it in the plucky department) but not digging the pairing TBH.
No worries, I'm writing the post right now so we can discuss further then. ^^
I usually love the full fringe on Asian males but Choi Jin Hyuk's hair brushed forward from tbe crown and very uneven fringe looks weird. Just saying.......
yes i agree, maybe a slip of the scissors...hehehe
Looking out for this drama!
What's with the leg pose?
The photoshopping makes CJH look like a wax doll in the last two photos.
I'm not a big fan of Choi Jin Hyuk but the casting seems to be interesting :)
