MBC’s eagerly-awaited series Doctor Lawyer is sealed to premiere on May 27.
Doctor Lawyer chronicles the story of a genius surgeon who became a lawyer specializing in medical litigation after losing everything through a rigged operation. He collaborates with a prosecutor in charge of medical crimes who lost their only family and lover due to the operation.
Aiming for a heartwarming and exhilarating medical-legal drama, it aims to present punishment for people who believe that they can rank or disregard people’s lives. It also comforts victims of unfairness.
Penning the script is Jang Hong Cheol who previously worked on OCN drama Class of Lies which received favorable reviews. Director Lee Yong Seok takes charge of the production. His notable works include Haechi, The Village: Achiara’s Secret and Iljimae: The Phantom Thief.
Celltrion Entertainment of Beyond Evil and Vagabond fame backs up the project with Mongjakso co-producing the series that will run 16 episodes.
Superb Lead Cast of Doctor Lawyer
Previously, the lead cast was unveiled on April 5 drawing attention to the talented and reliable cast.
First, So Ji-sub took on the role of Han Yi-han, a genius surgeon who returned as a medical litigation lawyer. He oozes outstanding skills and human charms. However, his life has been shaken by an incident. After a hiatus, he returns as a lawyer.
Doctor Lawyer marks the drama comeback of So Ji Sub after four years since My Secret Terrius which also aired on MBC in 2018.
Next, Shin Sung Rok takes on the role of Jayden Lee, the Asia branch manager of Honors Hand, a company that specializes in lobbying and investment. He is a third-generation Korean American with an untamable heart and blood, willing to throw himself at risk for success and thrill.
Previously, the actor clinched remarkable roles in dramas The Last Empress, Vagabond and Kairos. Actor Shin Sung-rok, who perfectly digests any work or character he encounters with his own color, is shrouded in veil except that he has absolute power.
Finally, Im Soo Hyang takes on the role of Geum Seok-yeong, a prosecutor in the medical crime division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office. She is a prosecutor with a firm belief that the rehabilitation of criminals comes from punishment.
At the same time, she is a person with humanity that proves innocence more aggressively than a lawyer for innocent defendants. The actress last worked on When I Was The Prettiest and Graceful Family.
