Jung Kyung-ho, a snob judge who only pursued success, chose to become a public interest lawyer himself.
In the final episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Pro Bono" (written by Moon Yoo-seok/director Kim Sung-yoon), which aired on the 11th, Pro Bono team leader Kang Da-wit (played by Jung Kyung-ho), team member Park Joy (starring), Jang Young-sil (played by Yoon Nam-do), Yun Nan-hee (Seo Hye-won), and Hwang Jun-woo (played by Kang Hyung-seok) ended significantly, hinting at their continued performance as public interest lawyers.
As a result, the final audience rating was 9.6% for households in the metropolitan area, 11.5% for households, 10% for households nationwide, and 11.7%, breaking its own highest ratings and ranking first in all channels, including terrestrial broadcasting. In addition, it was ranked first in all channels at the same time in the 2049 male and female viewership, which is the target of tvN.

On the same day, Kang Da-Witt raised suspicions of a trial deal between corporate chairman Jang Hyun-bae (Song Young-chang) and Supreme Court justice Shin Joong-seok (Lee Moon-sik) and pointed out Oh Kyu-jang (Kim Gap-soo), the founder of O&Partners, behind it. There were many difficulties as it targeted the legal tycoon head on, but Kang Da-wit succeeded in bringing the three's unfair connection to the surface by carefully using his experience and senses he has accumulated so far.
As it was a case that shook the world, the landscape of O&Partners has also changed significantly since the case was all closed. Oh Jung-in (Lee Yoo-young), who returned to the leadership, fired a signal of change by appointing Kang Da-witt, who played a decisive role in the final trial, and Choi Dae-hoon (Um Myung-hoon), who helped him, as the new management. On top of that, the Pro Bono team, which was notified of the dismantling order and dismissal of all the members, also returned safely, reclaiming its familiar office.
At the moment of such a peaceful trend, Kang David surprised everyone by making another extraordinary decision. Kang Da-witt, who witnessed the conflicting images of the pro bono team trying to be on the side of the victim in the same case as the management who tried to be on the side of the consumer goods company, which caused a number of victims, told his team members about the establishment of a public interest law firm. In response, Park Joy, Jang Young-sil, Yun Nan-hee, and Hwang Jun-woo expressed their intention to follow Kang David without hesitation, leaving a thrilling aftertaste.
Pro Bono, which put the public interest argument to the forefront, not only sheds light on the reality of socially disadvantaged people such as abandoned dogs, the disabled, and foreign workers, but also takes a deep look at the stories and wounds contained in them and contains a message that is different from the existing legal materials. In addition to this, the ending with hope was added, providing a deep resonance and exhilaration at the same time in each episode.
The chemistry of the six actors who led "Pro Bono" was also brilliant: Jeong Kyung-ho (played by Kang Da-wi), So Soo-yeon (played by Park Gi-ki), Lee Yoo-young (played by Oh Jung-in), Yoon Nam-u (played by Jang Young-sil), Seo Hye-won (played by Yoon Nan-hee), and Kang Hyung-seok (played by Hwang Jun-woo). The acting, which was delicately incorporated into each character, completed a solid chemistry and synergy, and the charm of the work was conveyed to the viewers more deeply.
In addition, director Kim Sung-yoon's direction, which depicts the tension of the trial in a dense way, and artist Moon Yoo-seok's story, which melts the sense of the actual legal field, became a force to make "Pro Bono" more convincing.
As such, "Pro Bono," which met viewers with a new subject called public interest defense, ended its grand finale by paying attention to the meaningful journey of public interest lawyers toward the socially underprivileged until the end.
