LEE JOON GI
THE PIN-UP BOY
FOR
HANDSOME AND YOUTHFUL LOOKS
At age 36, Lee Joon Gi, who was born in the Year of the Dog (17
April 1982), is the ultimate pin-up boy for youthful and handsome looks. It
is precisely this reason that since 2015 Lee Joon Gi’s leading ladies have
been very much younger than him.
Seo Ye Ji, his co-star for Lawless Lawyer or Lawless Attorney,
is 28 years old and 8 years his junior. Lee Yu Bi who stars in ‘The Scholar
Who Walks The Night’ (2015) is also 8 years younger than him and IU (Lee Ji
Eun), who plays Hae Soo in Moon Lovers – Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (2016), is 11 years his
junior. Moon Chae Won (Criminal Minds Korea 2017), who at 32, is the oldest of them all. But, she is four years younger than him.

BONG VS HA
A MATCH
MADE IN
DRAMA HEAVEN
There seems to be a news
blackout for the drama Lawless Lawyer or Lawless Attorney since no posters, photos or videos including those for
the Script Reading have been released. But, it is presumed that Lee Joon Gi
and Seo Ye Ji are revving up for their performance as the lead actor and the lead
actress respectively in the new drama.
From the skimpy bits of
information guardedly given out by the production staff of Lawless Lawyer,
one has to come to one’s own conclusions about the drama.
It seems that lawyer Ha Jae Yi
played by Seo Ye Ji is an outspoken, tough and straight-talking lawyer who
does not rein in her feelings. She probably puts a foot in her mouth and
makes an idiot of herself on a particular occasion. Things probably spiral
out of control after an altercation with a judge. Her fortunes are reversed
and her humiliation is complete when she ends up not as a legal eagle but as
a paralegal in Bong Sang Pil’s law firm.
Some observers speculate that
Bong and Ha are fiery characters and will have their own verbal fights. A sensational
match to be seen – a match made in drama heaven.
As with most young lawyers, Ha Jae
Yi’s idealism about law and justice is whittled down to probably zero after
reality sets in. Her strong convictions and well-grounded beliefs about the
legal world would most probably be shattered. With dwindling self-confidence,
she learns the ropes of being an effective lawyer from Bong Sang Pil, a law
wizard.
Bong Sang Pil seems to be a
colourful and controversial figure. He was formerly a gangster who had to
claw his way through law school. At the heart of the drama is Bong Sang Pil’s
mother’s murder case. As a child, Bong Sang Pil was a witness to his mother’s
murder. That resembles the murder of Kay’s mother in ‘Time Between Dog and
Wolf’. Rest assured that it’s the only
shared feature.
Fans are waiting to watch Bong
Sang Pil take centrestage in the drama and be entertained by his quick tongue
and courtroom savvy. They know that he won’t miss a beat when he plunges
headlong into his thrilling courtroom battles. The charismatic super lawyer, Bong Sang
Pil will take on a bunch of powerful and corrupt crooks the David v Goliath
way. Whoever deserves their comeuppance will get their comeuppance in the end.
The excited fans are
disappointed to hear that the drama will run for only 16 episodes. Those fans
are waiting to see the super talented, gorgeous and sexy Lee Joon Gi
and the beautiful Seo Ye Ji’s explosive on-screen chemistry. Will 16 episodes
be enough?
Even before Lee Joon Gi and Seo
Ye Ji start shooting the TVN drama, the would-be viewers, particularly the ladies,
are expecting Lawless Lawyer or Lawless Attorney to be an explosive
hit. They know that the drama would be gripping and provocative. They
hope that it would not be too serious but it would have some light-hearted
moments, romantic love lines and also a happy ending.
Now, ladies, get ready for your next
obsession, Bong Sang Pil, The King of the Courtroom. But, don’t forget Park Yoon Kang, the magnificent gunman; Kim Sung Yeol, the sexy vampire; Wang
So, the passionate Goryeo prince who has broken your heart; Kim Hyun Joon, the intense iconic profiler, and the other unforgettable characters who have also made themselves at home in your heart and refuse to leave - all played by super talented Lee Joon Gi, your real actor - your addiction for life.
