Jung Kyung-ho of the new TV series ”Pro Bono”: ”One poisoned apple wiped out my career”... Has he become the protagonist of a cruel fairy tale?

※Contains plot summaries and spoilers.

Jung Kyung-ho has fallen under the life-altering 'Curse of the Apple'.

The new tvN weekend drama "Pro Bono", premiering Saturday 6th December at 9:10pm, has released a poster featuring Judge Baekseol and a teaser video, hinting at the bizarre case awaiting Kang Da-wit (played by Jung Kyung-ho) as he undergoes an unexpected career change.

First, the fairy-tale mood of the Judge Baekseol poster catches the eye. Kang Dae-wit, dressed in a judge's robe, gazes at a bright red apple offered by someone with a look of suspicion mixed with curiosity. The caption here, "An influencer judge who only pursued advancement, becomes a public interest lawyer because of one poisoned apple," hints at the prelude to the change the apple will bring.

Subsequently, the teaser footage for Judge Baekseol concretely reveals the thread of the incident that will transform Kang Da-wit's life, heightening interest. Kang Da-wit, enjoying the courtroom as if it were a stage alongside the line "This is my castle, a castle no one can enter," fully embodies the image of a successful influencer judge, complete with hashtags like "#NationalJudge #CourtLife #120kFollowers".

Yet cracks appear in Kang Da-wit's seemingly perfect daily life when an apple makes its appearance. The moment he picks up the apple placed before his feet, he collapses like Snow White after cutting the apple, landing in a corner office of a mega-law firm. Kang Dae-wit, jolted awake by the unexpected address of "Counselor," finds himself in a shabby office surrounded by unfamiliar "pro bono" team members, plunged into confusion over whether this is a dream or reality.

As if denying this unbelievable reality, Kang Da-wit leaps from his seat and flees, pursued by the team members. After a brief commotion, his cry of "I'm going home!" foreshadows the formidable public interest lawyer adaptation period that lies ahead.

TvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Pro Bono' is a chaotic human courtroom drama about a career-obsessed, self-serving judge who reluctantly becomes a public interest lawyer. Trapped in a corner office of a mega-law firm within a zero-revenue public interest team, the drama premieres on Saturday, 6th December at 9:10pm.
