In "Liar, Lawyer", Sooyoung plays Maeng Se-naThe dreaded public defender, nicknamed "The Criminal Defender" for her propensity to take on cases that everyone else avoids. But behind her ironclad reputation lies a secret passion: for 10 years, she's been a fervent fan of the boy band Gold Boys... and above all Do Ra-ikthe lead singer.
It comes as a complete shock when his idol, played by Kim Jae-young, is accused of killing his best friend and group leader. Maeng Se-na takes up his defense, hiding his admiration to better track down the truth in a case with murky ramifications. The line between admiration, doubt and loyalty gradually becomes blurred.
Great drama!
This one turned out to be a nice surprise! I liked it. It's no masterpiece, but I had a great time watching it.
A little favorite of mine!
Beyond the «idol-worshiping» nonsense, I loved the bond of trust that develops between the two of them—and especially, especially, the lawyer’s professionalism! She’s completely ethical in her work and clearly separates her «fan» self from her role as a lawyer. I was really moved by that aspect and by the scenes showing mutual trust between the two of them.
I discovered the two actors, and I really liked them.
The topic is also very interesting because, unfortunately, I think it's very much rooted in reality.
