• Interview with actress Lee Chung-ah as Hwang Hyun-jin in the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "Honor: Their Court"

Actor Lee Chung-ah took off her urban image through "Honor" and transformed into a transparent and honest Hwang Hyun-jin. Drawing the hot solidarity of the three female lawyers with Lee Na-young and Jung Eun-chae, she showed off the strength of the scene, saying, "It was full of synergy that did its best instead of fighting spirit." I met Lee Chung-ah, who achieved the highest ratings and the beauty of the show, and listened to the affection and behind-the-scenes stories he put into his work.

The ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "Honor: Their Court" (scripted by Park Ga-yeon, director Park Geon-ho, hereinafter referred to as "Honor") is a hot mystery tracking drama about three female lawyers who face a head-on breakthrough in the past after returning from the scandal of Korea. It was well received for unraveling the solid narrative of the original Swedish drama with Korean sentiment.

As for the reason for choosing this work, Lee Chung-ah said, "I wanted to tell a story that touches my life. I wanted to change the genre itself because I felt like I had done a series of genres before, he said. "I really wanted to do a person who uses everyday speech."

"In the case of Hyun-jin, I didn't change the genre, but I thought he did it in his 20s," he said, adding, "I don't think viewers who have been watching since their 30s will know that I played this role."

His collaboration with Lee Na-young and Jung Eun-chae, who were the core pillars of the work, made him excited from the casting stage. "Luckily, I closed the door and joined at the end, and it was a decisive reason for the actors to decide to appear," Lee Chung-ah said. "Objectively, the combination of the three was not bad, and it was interesting to see the structure in which three women had to unite as one while leading their respective stories."

They are the three best friends of 20 years in the play, but they also revealed the behind-the-scenes story that they were all "I" tendencies, the introverted type. Lee Chung-ah said, "I made the position in the hope that the coach would get close, but we were not uncomfortable at all because we were good at enduring silence. Rather, the director who was watching was even more difficult," he said with a smile.

There was "none at all" in some concerned speculation about the "fight of spirit." In the field, each person only shows off his or her best skills as a character. It's just good because if the opponent does his best, there will be synergy," he said firmly.

Lee Chung-ah, who played the role of Hwang Hyun-jin, who is in charge of songwriting at L&J, a law firm that specializes in defending victims of sexual crimes, said, "The emotional hardship and affection I felt while immersed in the character Hwang Hyun-jin were also extraordinary." Lee Chung-ah confessed, "I was happy to be honest because I was an angry character during the 'Flower Ramen Shop' in the past, but Hyun-jin had a lot of difficulties because he was frustrated and scolded."

At the same time, "Hyun-jin was not cowardly." He is a transparent person who gives up his heart to take responsibility for what he has done. I thought that honesty was Hyunjin's biggest strength," he said, expressing deep trust in the character.

Lee Chung-ah said he also felt something through Hwang Hyun-jin. He said, "As I've been an actor, the more I've been experiencing, the more I censor my words and actions. "I'm careful that I might hurt someone or be careless," he said. "But playing Hyun-jin, I thought there was a relief from someone like this. "Because it's transparent, the viewer is less likely to worry twice," he confessed.

At the final episode, the work achieved a successful ending by breaking its own highest viewer rating (4.7% nationwide, based on Nielsen Korea). Lee Chung-ah said, "I received good reviews from people around me." He said, "I feel comfortable as the ratings rise. I'm glad that it's a good result for the on-site staff."

He also expressed his honest thoughts on the somewhat open ending. Lee Chung-ah said, "Those who wanted a pleasant and pleasant ending would have wanted more stories to be told, but personally, I'm satisfied that there was a scene where the three of us walked on the stone wall," adding, "The setting with another client at the end was not bad because the production team thought about the next story."

He was cautious about the possibility of season 2 that naturally flowed out. Lee Chung-ah said, "The actors have never talked in detail, but if I hear the news of the production, I think we will ask each other's intentions," and added, "I asked the writer who came to the scene, and he just laughed."
