Go Ara, L, and Sung Dong Il are Curious Judicial Oddities in Preview for jTBC Drama Mis Hammurabi

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 7, 2018 by ockoalaMay 8, 2018
Three people in a vibrant city street.

I really love the official drama poster for jTBC drama Miss Hammurabi. It delivers a scene full of emotional and life as Go Ara drags along her more stodgy and senior judges L and Sung Dong Il in a local market backdrop. I still think the casting of two out of the three leads is way wack but then I … Continue reading →

Students studying in a classroom setting.

The idea of young judges is not an impossibility in the South Korean legal system since a graduate of law can take the exam to become a judge straight out of school. With that said, it’s still going to make me snicker a bit when I see Go Ara and L both playing judges in the upcoming jTBC drama Miss … Continue reading →

Looks like cable network jTBC is also jumping on the legal drama trend, as if there wasn’t a surfeit of such dramas over in the big three networks already. jTBC has picked up the K-drama adaptation of novel Miss Hammurabi chronicling the judicial legal profession.
