jTBC Wed-Thurs Drama Law School with Kim Myung Min, Lee Jung Eun, Kim Bum, and Ryu Hye Young Release Studious Posters and Teasers

The turnout was a smidge on the less-than-star-studded side for the VIP movie premiere of period film Princess Deokhye, starring Son Ye Jin and Park Hae Il on the life of the last princess of Korea.
