Actress Lee Na Young is set to return to television as a charismatic star lawyer in the upcoming Genie TV original series ‘Honor: Her Court’, marking her first small screen comeback in nearly three years.
Lee will headline ‘Honor: Her Court’ (written by Park Ga Yeon, directed by Park Geon Ho), a mystery thriller legal drama scheduled to premiere on February 2, 2026, at 10 p.m. KST. The series follows three female attorneys who confront a long buried past that resurfaces as a massive public scandal.
A Mystery Legal Drama Led by Three Women
Based on a Swedish drama of the same name, Honor: Her Court blends courtroom tension with psychological mystery. The story centers on three women who have been friends for over 20 years now working together at a law firm specializing in cases involving female victims of violent crime.
Ahead of the premiere, the production team released photos from the script reading session, attended by director Park Geon Ho, writer Park Ga Yeon, and cast members Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, Lee Chung Ah, Yeon Woo Jin, Seo Hyun Woo, Choi Young Joon, and Kim Mi Sook.
Lee Na young as a Cool, Calculated Power Player
Lee Na Young takes on the role of Yoon Ra Young, one of the founding partners of law firm L&J. Behind her elegant smile lies a sharp strategist capable of decisive, even ruthless, moves. During the reading, Lee reportedly conveyed the character’s restrained intensity through controlled delivery and measured emotional shifts.
Jung Eun Chae plays Kang Shin Jae, the firm’s emotional anchor a lawyer driven by principle and responsibility. Her low, steady tone and composed presence emphasized the character’s moral backbone. Lee Chung Ah portrays Hwang Hyun Jin, an energetic and justice-driven attorney whose fiery delivery and raw emotional range added realism and urgency to the scenes.
Chemistry Built on History and Secrets
The trio’s chemistry stood out as a major highlight. Their characters are longtime college friends bound by loyalty and secrets. The cast shared confidence that the drama’s emotional depth, pacing, and intensity would resonate strongly with viewers. “Our chemistry feels very real,” the actors said. “This is a story driven by trust, betrayal, and hidden truths and it unfolds with depth, force, and momentum.”
A Strong Supporting Cast and High Expectations
The supporting lineup further raises anticipation. Yeon Woo Jin plays tech CEO Baek Tae Joo, while Seo Hyun Woo appears as prosecutor Park Je Yeol, who stands in direct opposition to the trio. Choi Young Joon transforms into detective Gu Sun Gyu, Hyun Jin’s husband, adding personal stakes to the investigation.
Producers described the drama as a “well made pursuit thriller,” noting that even the script reading alone generated palpable tension. “With the passion of our cast and the precision of the script, we are confident this series will satisfy even the most discerning viewers,” the production team said.
