The combination of actors Lee Na-young, Jung Eun-chae and Lee Chung-ah worked properly. Honor: Their Court recorded the highest ratings of the first episode of ENA Monday-Tuesday drama ever.

ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama "Honor: Their Court" (scripted by Park Ga-yeon / director Park Geon-ho, hereinafter referred to as "Honor") announced a good start on the 2nd. According to Nielsen Korea (based on paid households) on the 3rd, the first episode of "Honor" recorded 3.1% nationwide and 2.9% in the metropolitan area, recording the highest ratings for the first broadcast of ENA Monday-Tuesday dramas ever.

In the first episode, Yoon Ra-young (Lee Na-young), Kang Shin-jae (Jeong Eun-chae), and Hwang Hyun-jin (Lee Chung-ah), who are lawyers for L&J (Listen & Join), who specialize in female crime victims, took bold steps to overcome the reality of sexual crimes in Korea, including victims who are forced to remain silent and lukewarm about the law. Yoon Ra-young, a "celebrity lawyer," appeared in a broadcast debate and pointed out the harrowing reality that minors can hear the "dog-sounding" argument that treats victims as sinners in court due to the unconstitutional ruling of video statements for victims of underage sex crimes. Kang Shin-jae, the "law firm representative," strongly expressed that L&J is contributing to the image of the tsunami by realizing social values, public interests, and human rights at the board of directors of the parent company, "Taeil," which pressures them to withdraw from the case. At that time, Hwang Hyun-jin, a "hard-working lawyer," led the testimony by standing by the minor victim, who appeared in court at the request of the perpetrator, so that he would not be swayed.

The reason why the trio are moving so quickly inside and out is because of the sexual assault case of Kang Eun-seok (Lee Chan-hyung), a national son-in-law actor who was appointed by L&J. Public opinion drove the victim, 18-year-old high school girl Cho Yoo-jung (Park Se-hyun), to a flower snake, and a protest truck and a wreath surrounded the law firm by fans defending Kang Eun-seok. Despite L&J's struggle to not give up despite such external pressure, the trial took an unexpected direction. It was revealed that the place where Cho Yoo-jung met Kang Eun-seok was not a club, and the credibility of all the previous statements was destroyed. In the end, Kang Eun-seok was acquitted in the first trial and left the court, but Cho Yoo-jung suffered a terrible second round of abuse as her personal information was leaked online. Nevertheless, Cho Yoo-jung did not open her mouth about how she met Kang Eun-seok for some reason.

Kang Shin-jae, who always has Plan B, reversed the decision to give up the prosecution's appeal due to negative public opinion. Hwang Hyun-jin found out through his ex-boyfriend Lee Joon-hyuk (Lee Choong-joo) that there is a prostitution scandal that will overturn the country behind the case. However, Lee remained silent about the substance. While Yoon Ra-young and Hwang Hyun-jin were investigating another victim, they found out that Kang Eun-seok had also touched drugs. Kang Shin-jae handed over decisive data that filmed Kang Eun-seok's drug trade to the police chief, and he was arrested urgently. It was a thrilling shot that turned the public's sense of love into a "weakness" and turned the headwind into a tailwind.

However, the end of reporter Lee Joon-hyuk, who held the key to the incident, raised the tension of the play to its peak. Frightened by the raid of unknown gunmen, he promised to hand over the news materials to Hwang Hyun-jin. However, what Hwang Hyun-jin found in his house was the carcass of Lee Jun-hyuk, who was killed horribly. The shock was not over here. Cho Yoo-jung, covered in blood, walked barefoot into the banquet hall celebrating L&J's 10th anniversary. The blood-colored ending, which declared the reality of the brutal and huge prostitution cartel, sparked curiosity about the next episode.

As such, "Honor" provided a sense of immersion that could not be taken away for a moment with a series of twists and shocks that turned the game upside down. It was a preview of the birth of the well-made genre, which was hard to find in the small screen these days. Above all, Lee Na-young, Jung Eun-chae, and Lee Chung-ah's meticulous performances made people look forward to their next performance. Yoon Ra-young said, "Kill rather than die," rather than gently comforting the victim who wanted to die. "Live like you see me with that kind of heart," he said again.

When Kang Shin-jae saw the swear words scrawled on the windshield of the car, he drove the car as if it was no big deal, especially "I go all the way with a dog patch." And I've never lost," he said, venting his cider with the ease of pressuring Kang Eun-seok. Hwang Hyun-jin, who turned Yoon Ra-young's stalker and overpowered him with a kick, also became a strong hill for the victim, saying, "Our side is strong and we can't stand it."

The three have a strong vitality with the charisma of Lee Na-young, Jung Eun-chae, and Lee Chung-ah, who have different characters and abilities, but are not daunted by any situation. Expectations rose at the same time as trust that the strong will and strong solidarity of those fighting for victims on the edge of the cliff would reveal the true nature of the hidden giant evil and restore the collapsed honor.

The second episode of "Hour" will air on ENA at 10 p.m. on the 3rd and will be released on KT Genie TV and Coupang Play.
