Sooyoung, Jung Kyung Ho are one of the favorite artist pairs in Korea. Recently, they have received attention when they returned to the screen together, with projects related to legal topics.
For Jung Kyung Ho, he plays Kang David - a former judge who was caught receiving bribes - who had to change direction to become a public defender in the movie "P common Lawyer". The work has now aired 4 episodes, with the highest viewership rating of 8%.
Meanwhile, Sooyoung plays talented lawyer Maeng Se Na in the movie Idol I. In contrast to her serious appearance and calmness in the courtroom, Se Na's life after work is completely opposite.
As a loyal fan of the group Gold Boys, Se Na is not afraid to participate in their idol's online "combats" for concert tickets. Her house is also decorated with a series of photos and souvenirs of idol Do Ra Ik (Kim Jae Yeong) - a member of Gold Boys.
This is not the first time Sooyoung has played the role of "idols" in love, however, contrary to the story of mood and affection in "I and anti-fans getting married" (2021), " Lawyer of idols" has more legal color. In the first 2 episodes, it can be seen that the lives of Se Na and Ra Ik completely changed direction after Ra Ik was accused of murder.
On screen, if Kim Jae Yeong shows his efforts in transforming into the main voice in an idol group, from learning the vocal, musical instruments to stylish appearance, Sooyoung shows the contrasting life of Se Na - a talented lawyer in the office and a real "fangirl" at home.
Talking about the film, the SNSD member said that the relationship between fans and idols taking place in the context of an unidentified murder case with the culprit gave her an interesting feeling.
The way the film depicts the affection of fans - something she has witnessed with her own eyes - is very cute and realistic. On the other hand, because she has never played a lawyer, she wants to challenge herself with this project.
According to Sooyoung, because the character has opposite features, when performing, she focuses on making Se Na look like someone that the audience can meet in real life.
I think Se Nas foundation is a strong inner strength, not shaken by the rudence or negativity of others. By building from there, and imagining what Ra Ik means to Se Na, the reason and the meaning behind her idol admiration becomes much clearer, the actress said.
However, because it aired at the beginning of the week, on ENA (a less famous station in Korea), the movie "Idol Lawyer" recorded low ratings - reaching 1.9% and 2.3% for the first 2 episodes, far behind the achievements of the movie "P common Lawyer" that Sooyoung's boyfriend starred in.
