Shady Lawyer promises to be a promising and interesting K-Drama about a courtroom setting. Currently, there are negotiations underway for Kim Nam Gil and Lee Joo Bin to star in this drama. The two have both been offered starring roles and are seriously contemplating them.
Kim Nam Gil In Talks To Play Jang Do Young
It is said that the actor has been offered the lead role for the new courtroom drama from August 11th onwards. Later his agency confirmed the same. He has been offered to play the part of Jang Do Young, who is a lawyer but sees the cutthroat field of law as a huge gambling table. Instead of feeling daunted at the unpredictable course of lawsuits, he plunges straight into the game. This role can provide him an opportunity to venture into a new aspect of his performance, especially since the drama involves elements of courtroom battles, money-related arguments and peculiar legal cases.
Lee Joo Bin Offered Role Of Cha Ha Kyung
Joo Bin Lee has also been offered a part in The Shady Lawyer. This was confirmed by her management as having been approached by the producers for the cast, and she is positively considering the proposal. Apparently, she has been offered the role of Cha Ha Kyung, an immensely rich and pampered lawyer who would rather win than earn money through her law practice.
Cha Ha Kyung is a very ambitious lawyer and always eager to triumph; ultimately, she collaborates with Jang Do Young on winning the most grueling legal battles. Should the roles be accepted, their very opposite characters will likely become one of the key appeals of the drama.

What Is The Shady Lawyer About?
The Shady Lawyer is said to be a caper drama that takes place in the courtroom setting and focuses on the field of damage lawsuits, which are believed to pose a lot of risks and bring enormous gains. The drama unfolds in the context of a civil litigation system that handles more than 12,000 cases per day and the total value of lawsuits estimated at 52 trillion won or approximately $37 billion.
In such a context, The Shady Lawyer features B-list lawyers who wage an intense battle “for money” while trying to provide some unconventional consolation for people tired of empty promises of law and justice. This idea distinguishes the show from other courtroom K-Dramas because it makes the monetary gain a priority.
When Will The New K-Drama Premiere?
The Shady Lawyer is set to be aired on ENA, but no specific date has been confirmed for its premiere. The shooting of the series will begin early next year, and hence it will take some time before the production can start officially. At the moment, there has been no confirmation of the casting of Kim Nam Gil and Lee Joo Bin since both the actors are considering their proposals. But in case of their acceptance, The Shady Lawyer will give rise to a drama involving two famous actors in the court setting.
Final Take
Given the possibility that Kim Nam Gil would take up the role of the daring lawyer Jang Do Young, along with Lee Joo Bin portraying the ambitious Cha Ha Kyung, The Shady Lawyer is set to become one of those TV shows with a captivating lead couple. Moreover, the rather unique plot centered around damages suits and a cash-based legal battle might prove to be a distinguishing feature of the program. Only time will tell if the casting rumors prove to be true.
