Lee Jin Wook and Jung Chaeyeon's Legal drama Cools down After Controversy

An Nhiên |

For the first time since its broadcast, the film Dream of a Lawyer (played by Lee Jin Wook, Jung Chaeyeon) recorded a decline in viewership ratings.

The film "Beyond the Bar" revolves around Kang Hyo Min (Jung Chaeyeon) - a lawyer who practices integrity, confidence but is clumsy in social communication. After working at the law firm Yullim, under the guidance of Yoon Seok Hoon (Lee Jin Wook) - a cold but talented litigation lawyer, Hyo Min gradually matured.

In the first 4 episodes, the film's ratings have continuously increased, from 3.7% in episode 1 to 8.3% in episode 4. However, in episode 5 (evening of August 16), for the first time "Dream of a Lawyer" recorded a decrease, with a rating of 7.2%.

According to Nielsen Korea, on Saturdays, ratings of programs are typically lower than Sundays, but this is still the legal drama with the best results compared to the broadcast time frame, higher than the 6.8% of Miracle Team; 1.9% of Humanitarian Death and 0.3% of Youth Journey.

However, Korean media believes that the controversy over the love lines of the male and female leads when they are too different in age and limited acting of Jung Chaeyeon is the reason why "Dream of a Lawyer" is gradually cooling down.

In the latest developments, the film revolves around the first lawsuit defense attorney Hyo Min, so the appearance of the former I.O.I member takes up most of the time. Jung Chaeyeon's stiff depiction of the role, somewhat limited facial expressions, and strong voice with too high a voice have overshadowed the attractive case in the film, reducing viewer concentration.

The majority of reviews and dialogue of the actress made them feel like they were reading a textbook about the law, with many specialized terms. In addition, her "chemistry" with co-star Lee Jin Wook also did not show any connection. In contrast to his senior's consistent acting, Jung Chaeyeon clearly shows his confusion, awkwardness, and lack of emotion.

Currently, there is still more than half of the film journey of "The Lawyer's Dream". However, the lack of sophistication in the female lead's acting is expected to have a significant impact on the work, as in the most recent episode, Hyo Min's twin sister appeared - meaning Jung Chaeyeon will have to take on 2 roles.
