Actor Ha Yoon-kyung is set to hit the small screen in a new drama as a resilient repeat taker of the bar exam.
On the 15th, the team behind JTBC’s new Sat-Sun drama Apartment unveiled still cuts of Ha Yoon-kyung as Kang Ha-ri.
Ha plays Kang Ha-ri, a law school graduate who keeps falling just short of passing the bar. She works part-time at the pro bono legal clinic run by major law firm Wi Partners, holding tight to her dream of becoming an attorney. With fierce survival skills and an unflappable, upbeat charm, she’s a character who refuses to break.
The released stills spotlight Ha-ri’s wildly contrasting day-to-day. In a sleek black two-piece suit on her way to the firm, she exudes a brainy, would-be-lawyer vibe. But behind the polished exterior, her subtly uneasy expression hints at complex inner turmoil.
Meanwhile, at an elementary school sports day, she shows up in comfy training wear, burning with a fiery competitive streak that sparks laughter. The complete 180 from her intellectual image to this unbridled energy raises expectations for Ha Yoon-kyung’s bold, multifaceted transformation.
Meanwhile, Apartment will premiere on July 11 at 10:40 p.m. It will also be available on Netflix.
