[Photo] Divorce Lawyer in Love

Here’s our first teaser for SBS’s upcoming rom-com Divorce Lawyer in Love, and while it only gives us the briefest glimpse of the setup, I can picture the leads, Yeon Woo-jin (Marriage Not Dating) and Jo Yeo-jung (Haeundae Lovers), having some cute chemistry. It’s the kind of show that’ll live or die based on that chemistry, so it had better be crackling, that’s for sure.

The drama has the two playing divorce attorneys, where he was once her office staffer and haaaaated his rude lawyer boss. He became a lawyer afterward, and when they reconnect years later, he’s now her superior, making for a “refreshing revenge and sweet romance.” Funny how one drama can be both things, but I’m looking forward to it, especially since I can totally see Yeon Woo-jin being hilariously petty.

The teaser gives each character a chance to sell their services to an unseen potential client (while the other hangs about in the background looking skeptical). Yeon Woo-jin adopts a sympathetic tone as he says understandingly how the woman must be confused about whether she’s a wife or a maid, and hands over his card. I’m pretty sure they gave his character, So Jung-woo, that surname just so they could make a whole bunch of sobyun jokes (lawyers often refer to each other using their surname and the word byun, short for attorney, and sobyun happens to also mean pee). Then it’s Jo Yeo-jung’s turn to talk to the unseen husband, after which she introduces herself as lawyer Go Cheok-hee.
Divorce Lawyer in Love will be a 16-episode weekend SBS drama, and premieres in mid-March.
