‘Shin and Law Office’ Yoo Yeon-seok and Lee Som Present an Epic Parody Calling Back Previous Works

SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘Shin and Law Office’ is providing viewers with a unique enjoyment through witty parodies utilizing the characters of the lead actors' previous works.

“Lawyer, you have romance”… A line targeting Yoo Yeon-seok's ‘doctor filmography’

In the second episode aired on the 14th, Shin and Law (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) struggles to resolve the grievances of the deceased Lee Gang-pung (played by Heo Sung-tae), who met an unjust death. In this process, Shin and Law explained the importance of the hospital's electronic medical record (EMR) system at an expert level while securing crucial evidence.

Watching this, Lee Gang-pung exclaimed, “Lawyer, you have romance,” and “Did you graduate from medical school too? How wise!” This line directly evokes Yoo Yeon-seok's representative works 〈Romantic Doctor Kim Sa-bu〉 and 〈Hospital Playlist〉, receiving praise for cleverly incorporating the actor's filmography from doctor to lawyer.

Lee Som Surprises with the Appearance of ‘Taxi Driver’ Kang Ha-na's ID… Connecting the SBS Universe

Lee Som also summoned her intense character from her previous work, eliciting cheers from fans. In the drama, Han Na-hyun (played by Lee Som), who attempts to infiltrate disguised as a prosecutor to secure evidence, pulls out a fake ID with the name ‘Prosecutor Kang Ha-na’ written on it.

‘Kang Ha-na’ is the passionate prosecutor character that Lee Som portrayed in the SBS hit 〈Taxi Driver〉 Season 1. Notably, Lee Som perfectly recreated not only the name on the ID but also Kang Ha-na's signature perm hairstyle, delighting viewers with the details that connect the SBS Friday-Saturday drama universe.

“A Homage Filled with Affection for the Actors”… Heightened Anticipation for the Next Case

The production team explained that this parody is “an homage for fans who loved the actors' previous works and serves as a small source of vitality that viewers can feel during the urgent case-solving process.” These ‘Easter eggs’ placed without compromising the authenticity of the work play a significant role in driving the drama's popularity.

After successfully solving the first case, a new high school student ghost appears before Shin and Law, hinting at another mystery in ‘Shin and Law Office’, which airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM on SBS.
