ENA’s “Honour” has unveiled key viewing points as it heads into its second half, shared directly by Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Chung Ah! Based on a Swedish series, “Honour” is a mystery thriller that tells the story of three lawyers who confront a massive scandal from the past head-on. Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Chung Ah star as founding partners of the law firm L&J (Listen and Join), which specializes in representing victims of crimes against women. Ahead of the drama’s second half, the production team released a set of behind-the-scenes stills capturing the bright, lively atmosphere on set—a refreshing contrast to the drama’s intense tone. The images feature the warm smiles of Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, Lee Chung Ah, Yeon Woo Jin, Seo Hyun Woo, Jeon So Young, and Park Se Hyun, highlighting the positive on-set energy that contributes to the drama’s strong performances. Alongside the photos, the three lead actresses personally shared what viewers should look forward to in the second half of “Honour.” Lee Na Young hinted, “There’s a turning point where the characters’ choices create new ripple effects. Unexpected twists will further heighten the genre’s thrill,” adding that viewers can expect increasingly complex emotional dynamics and relationships as the story progresses. Jung Eun Chae pointed to the meaningful phrase, “It’s darkest under the lamp,” suggesting that hidden truths may lie closer than expected. She also encouraged viewers to stay with the drama through its second act. Lee Chung Ah advised viewers to revisit the earlier episodes, explaining, “If you watch Episodes 1 through 6 again, many details will feel new.” She added that one way to enjoy the second half even more is to pay close attention to every character who gradually appears around the three lawyers. The production team shared, “While the drama maintains sharp and intense tension onscreen, the atmosphere on set was warm and collaborative, with actors carefully supporting one another and building strong chemistry.” They added, “As the second act begins, immersion and suspense will deepen even further. Just as the on-set energy was perfect, the actors’ performances will reach their peak in the latter half, so please continue to watch with great interest.” Episode 7 of “Honour” will air on February 23 at 10 p.m. KST.

Jung E Chan Is A Brilliant Neurosurgeon Pushing Human Limits In New Medical Thriller Drama

Jung E Chan Is A Brilliant Neurosurgeon Pushing Human Limits In New Medical Thriller Drama

Actor Jung E Chan (formerly known as Min Sun Hong) is set to star in TV CHOSUN’s upcoming weekend miniseries “Doctor Shin” (literal title)! “Doctor Shin” is a medical thriller that follows a brilliant doctor who pushes medicine beyond limits once considered the domain of God, and a woman whose brain is suddenly damaged overnight, causing her to gradually lose her soul. Centered on the unusual romance surrounding a top star who falls into a coma after a tragic accident—along with the man who once loved her and the man who still loves her—the drama unfolds a bold narrative that explores love and desire, taboo and sacrifice. Taking on the titular role in his first leading performance since debut, Jung E Chan stars as Shin Ju Shin, a genius doctor who pushes the boundaries of human capability. Shin Ju Shin serves as the director of neurosurgery at Nua Hospital and the chairman of the Nua Foundation, which runs an orphanage. A world-renowned brain surgeon whose skills are said to rival the divine, he surpasses even his late father, Professor Shin Woo Pil. With exceptional medical talent, an elite background, and an elegant, commanding presence, Shin Ju Shin appears to possess it all. Newly released stills capture Shin Ju Shin fully immersed in surgery, showcasing the intense focus expected of a legendary neurosurgeon. In another scene, he is seen in his doctor’s gown drinking wine with a grave expression before locking eyes with someone during a tense conversation. What has driven the genius doctor into inner turmoil? And what forbidden operation may he attempt next? Jung E Chan shared, “When I first heard I had been cast as the lead, I felt incredibly grateful and excited. As my desire to do well grew, I also felt the heavy responsibility of carrying the project. Rather than seeing that weight as pressure, I tried to use it as motivation for my acting. I hope viewers will look forward to the immersive performance I’ll show through ‘Doctor Shin.’” “Doctor Shin” will premiere on March 14 at 10:30 p.m. KST.

Jeon So Young’s Actions Prove She Is Neither On Lee Na Young Nor Seo Hyun Woo’s Side In “Honour”

Jeon So Young’s Actions Prove She Is Neither On Lee Na Young Nor Seo Hyun Woo’s Side In “Honour”

ENA’s new drama “Honour” has released new stills ahead of its upcoming episode! Based on a Swedish series, “Honour” is a mystery thriller that tells the story of three lawyers who confront a massive scandal from the past head-on. Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Chung Ah star as founding partners of the law firm L&J (Listen and Join), which specializes in representing victims of crimes against women. Spoilers Previously in the drama, Han Min Seo (Jeon So Young) broke into Yoon Ra Young’s (Lee Na Young) house and stabbed her hand with an awl. She injected heroin into Hwang Hyun Jin’s (Lee Chung Ah) leg to knock her out and also subdued Lee Sun Hwa (Baek Ji Hye), who stole reporter Lee Jun Hyuk’s (Lee Choong Joo) laptop containing evidence of “Connect In’s” crimes. Han Min Seo, whose unpredictable actions are impossible to explain as moving in any single direction, has emerged as the key mystery that will drive the upcoming episode. Until now, her crimes were interpreted as a warning directed at the three L&J lawyers who are tracking the secret prostitution app “Connect In.” However, after she also attacked Lee Sun Hwa, who stole the laptop at the request of corrupt police officer Kim Seung Jin (Jung Hee Tae), it has become unclear whether Han Min Seo is even on the same side as “Connect In.” While attacking L&J, she simultaneously made choices that conflicted with the interests of “Connect In.” This confusing behavior makes Han Min Seo an even more dangerous variable. What draws even more attention is that prosecutor Park Jae Yeol (Seo Hyun Woo) himself cannot read her true intentions. In the preview for the upcoming seventh episode, Park Jae Yeol meets Han Min Seo in person and interrogates her intensely. But his words, “I thought you were completely with L&J, but apparently not. You’ve been hiding another scheme all along. What are you really after?” suggest that even he cannot grasp Han Min Seo’s real motives. Even when he harshly threatens her while demanding the laptop’s whereabouts, Han Min Seo draws a firm line and insists she knows nothing. The plot thickens when Han Min Seo provokes Park Jae Yeol with the bombshell statement, “Yoon Ra Young told me to copy your phone.” This is potentially devastating information that could once again endanger Yoon Ra Young, who used Park Jae Yeol’s wife, Hong Yeon Hee (Baek Eun Hye), as a counterattack card. Curiosity is growing over why Han Min Seo obtained Lee Jun Hyuk’s laptop, which law firm L&J had secured, and what she is plotting as both L&J and Park Jae Yeol find themselves caught in the middle of her unpredictable moves.   The production team stated, “Although the identity of Han Min Seo has been revealed, her true motive has not yet come to light. Even Park Jae Yeol can’t fully grasp what she’s really after. As the drama enters its second half starting with the upcoming episode 7, an unexpected wave of truth will unfold regarding her suspicious actions.” Episode 7 of “Honour” will air on February 23 at 10 p.m. KST.

Park Jinyoung Talks About Why He Chose To Star In “Shining,” His Character, And More

Park Jinyoung Talks About Why He Chose To Star In “Shining,” His Character, And More

Park Jinyoung has shared his thoughts on his upcoming drama “Shining”! “Shining” is a drama about young people who once shared a world of their own and gradually become each other’s source of trust and the light that guides their lives. Park Jinyoung plays Yeon Tae Seo, a subway train driver who hides a tender sensitivity beneath a cold, stoic exterior. The role follows him from age 19 to adulthood. Park Jinyoung’s performance promises to capture Yeon Tae Seo’s youth and love as he quietly lives his life while carrying his pain. Park Jinyoung, drawn to the realistic storytelling of the drama, said, “I wanted to take part because it’s not just a pretty youth story but one that deals with real-life struggles anyone can relate to.” He spoke specifically about the character Yeon Tae Seo, saying, “He felt like a character the script subtly presents with unconditional trust of ‘the kind of person you wish existed.’ I was drawn to such a warm character and I thought I wanted to try playing this role.” Park Jinyoung also recalled his strong first impression of the character, saying, “We all know it’s better not to worry about what others think as we go through life, but we also know it’s usually not easy to avoid their gaze. Yet Yeon Tae Seo lives life in his own way, rather than seeing others’ gaze. That was what I found most appealing about him.” With the story spanning from a 19-year-old boy to adulthood, Park Jinyoung said, “The more I read the script, the more I saw that Yeon Tae Seo keeps many of the same traits even as he grows older.” He continued, “So I didn’t act out differences for each age. The only difference, if any, is in how Tae Seo handles his struggles. I wanted to show that, as an adult, he has gained a bit more experience than he had as he was younger.” Finally, Park Jinyoung highlighted key points to watch, saying, “I think the most ordinary, everyday stories are the most beautiful. The stories of Yeon Tae Seo and Mo Eun Ah (Kim Min Ju) reflect emotions we all feel at least once in our lives. If you focus on that, you will feel an even deeper impact.” “Shining” is set to premiere on March 6 at 8:50 p.m. KST.

Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, And Lee Chung Ah Follow A New Lead At A Burial Site In “Honour”

Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, And Lee Chung Ah Follow A New Lead At A Burial Site In “Honour”

“Honour” has unveiled new stills ahead of tonight’s episode! Based on a Swedish series, “Honour” is a mystery thriller that tells the story of three lawyers who confront a massive scandal from the past head-on. Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Chung Ah star as founding partners of the law firm L&J (Listen and Join), which specializes in representing victims of crimes against women. Spoilers The newly released stills capture Yoon Ra Young (Lee Na Young), Kang Shin Jae (Jung Eun Chae), and Hwang Hyun Jin (Lee Chung Ah) visiting a tree burial site together. In the photos, the three women gaze in different directions with solemn expressions. Yoon Ra Young’s deeply sunken gaze suggests that this visit goes beyond a simple step in their investigation. As L&J continues its relentless pursuit of the truth behind “Connect In,” it remains unclear whether they are tracking traces of someone directly linked to the case or uncovering a deeply personal story connected to Ra Young herself. Meanwhile, the preview for Episode 7 previously featured Hwang Hyun Jin’s meaningful line, “The victim is here now,” hinting at the existence of another victim of sexual exploitation connected to “Connect In.” As previously revealed cases appear to be only a fraction of a much larger structural crime, the scope of the investigation continues to expand. Adding to the tension, an emergency alert reading “Critical security threat detected” appears on the Connect In app interface, signaling cracks in what once seemed to be a flawless security system. The possible emergence of another victim is expected to become a key piece of evidence that could shift the course of the case. If a new victim comes forward, it may provide the decisive justification L&J needs to launch a full-scale counterattack. The production team shared, “The tree burial scene is an important moment that helps viewers better understand Yoon Ra Young emotionally and narratively. Please watch to see why she visits this place with her friends,” adding, “Whether another victim truly exists will also be a key point to watch in Episode 7.” Episode 7 of “Honour” will air on February 23 at 10 p.m. KST.
