Lee Joon-gi has done another job.
The rise of TVN's Saturday drama Lawless Lawyer' is not unusual. "Lawless Lawyer," which aired on the 27th, had an average audience rating of 6.9% and a maximum of 8.2% (based on Nielsen Korea and paid platforms). This is above the previous record of its own (6.1%). Lawless Lawyer', which broke the start with a 5.3% audience rating on the 12th, is showing a steep rise after achieving 6% of the audience rating in two broadcasts.
Lawless Lawyer' is a work that Kim Jin-min PD and Lee Joon-gi, who caused syndrome with 'Dog and Wolf Time', reunited in 11 years. In particular, Lee Joon-gi has shown a strong presence in hero revenge such as 'Iljimae' and Gunman in Joseon' as well as 'Time of Dogs and Wolves', so expectations for hero revenge show that will be shown in four years after Gunman in Joseon' have been focused.
And they satisfied the audience's expectations by 200%. Lee Joon-gi, who plays the title roll Lawless Lawyer Bong Sang-pil, shows the transition of various genres such as Action Comic Mellow and draws praise of Lee Joon-gi plural drama which is also believed and seen'. Here, Lee Hye-Yeong and Choi Min-soo's Hot Summer Days, which show the essence of villain Acting by emitting overwhelming charisma, are added to the next script showing a creepy reversal every time, and Kim Jin-min PD's unique high-pass production without a shave.
On the 27th, the charm of such Lawless Lawyer' was a time of survival. On the day of the broadcast, it was revealed that the missing Ha Jae-i (Seo Ye-ji)'s mother, Noh Hyun-joo (Baek Joo-hee), was alive. In addition, Roh not only witnessed the murder of Lee Hye-Yeong and Choi Min-soo in the past, but also took pictures and left evidence. Woo Hyung-man, who learned this, contacted Noh Hyun-joo and raised his curiosity about the story to be unfolded in the future.
The relationship between Ha Jae-yi and Bong Sang-pil has developed one step further. Bong Sang-pil has revealed to Ha Jae-yi the ugly reality of Cha Moon-sook. Ha Jae-yi, who believed and followed Cha Moon-sook like her mother, was in a great shock, but decided to cooperate with Bong Sang-pil. The two people who shared their pain kissed and announced the beginning of romance. In addition, he spurred revenge. Bong Sang-pil and Ha Jae-yi learned about the existence of the Falsify video of Lee Young-soo's murder case with Woo Hyung-man's report, and secured the truck black box video on the video and submitted it as trial evidence, proving Woo Hyung-man's innocence. Ha Jae-yi vowed revenge, saying, "Lawless Lawyer. Our fight is now." Bong Sang-pil also replied, "By law."
However, the evil acts of An-oh-ju and Cha Moon-sook are not over. An-oh-ju ordered his investigator to Falsify the case to hold the lifeline of Kang Yeon-hee (Cha Jung-won), the daughter of Nam Soon-ja (Yum Hye-ran). Cha Moon-sook used it to reclaim Kang Yeon-hee as a member of the seven-member association and tried to consolidate his power.
It was a moment when expectations for the confrontation between Ha Jae-yi and Bong Sang-pil, who set a day for revenge as deepened love, and An-soo and Cha Moon-sook, who reveal the black inner world, increased. From the sweet kissing god to the cider Action and the charismatic court god, the viewer was impressed with Bong Sang-pil at the Hot Summer Days of Lee Joon-gi, who freely changed the emotional line and broke the boundaries of the genre. As the immersion in the character increases, it is natural that it has fallen into the whole drama. Lawless Lawyer' is receiving praise such as 'time-pure drama' and 'reversal reversal'.
Lee Joon-gi is drawing attention to whether the revenge drama will bring syndrome once again.
