The latest Korean legal drama, "Honour," has officially released its main poster, which immediately attracted attention. ENA will release a new Korean legal drama with a mystery thriller genre, "Honour." Starring Jung Eun Chae, Lee Na Young, and Lee Chung Ah, this drama revolves around the lives of lawyers at a law firm.

Rather than offering a typical courtroom story, "Honour" tells the story of trauma, loyalty, and dark secrets buried for two decades. What secrets do these three main characters hold? Check out the synopsis for "Honour," a Korean drama adapted from a Swedish series, below.

Honour Drama Synopsis

The story centers on the L&J Law Firm, a justice institution specializing in defending women. Behind it are three tough lawyers who have been friends for 20 years since their college days.

Yun Ra Yeong (Lee Na Young) is the star lawyer at the law firm. With her exceptional speaking skills and beautiful looks, she is quite famous on television. She is also a celebrity lawyer with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.

However, she harbors wounds and anxieties that she has hidden for years. At an unexpected moment, she confronts the shadow of her past that has haunted her. Then there's Kang Sin Jae (Jung Eun Chae), a top lawyer at the same law firm. He's the leader of the three friends.

Sin Jae possesses a lion-like charisma, capable of overpowering anyone and getting what he wants through negotiation and intimidation. A crime against women, one he usually handles, suddenly becomes intertwined with his own past, and he faces a crisis.

Finally, there's Hwang Hyeon Jin, a lawyer with elegant charisma and a fiery personality. She prefers acting to sitting at a desk. She unwaveringly opposes anything she deems wrong and goes against her principles.

But when her detective husband begins digging into her past, she shudders. A secret from 20 years ago, which Yun Ra Yeong, Kang Sin Jae, and Hwang Hyeon Jin couldn't tell anyone, resurfaces and shakes up all three of their lives. These women are ready to fight back, demonstrating unwavering solidarity and determination.

The Deep Meaning Behind the Honor Poster

The main poster for "Honour" features three lawyers with their hands clasped tightly, becoming the most powerful symbol in the visual. This gesture not only symbolizes their 20-year friendship but also their determination to remain united in the face of any pressure or threat. Their gazes, looking straight ahead, exude charisma and steadfastness.

Coupled with the poster's line, "Even if we are broken, we will never fall," the message of female resilience and solidarity is powerfully conveyed. Interestingly, although each character has a different story and past wounds, their goal remains the same: to uphold honor.
