First look at Jo Seung-woo in JTBC’s Sacred Divorce

by tccolb

The first stills have been released for JTBC’s upcoming legal drama Sacred Divorce, showcasing our shaggy-haired lead Jo Seung-woo (Sisyphus). Based on a popular webtoon, the story follows our hero as he takes on wild divorce cases for his clients while trying to navigate his forties along with his two best friends.

Although he once enjoyed a culturally high-brow career as a classical pianist, the sensitive but free-spirited Shin Sung-han (Jo Seung-woo) suddenly needed a change. As he came into his mid-thirties, he decided to take up law instead and eventually opened a small law office, specializing in divorce.

Working as a divorce lawyer leads Sung-han to encounter the radio DJ Lee Seo-jin – who is played by Han Hye-jin (Let’s Hold Hands and Watch the Sunset). She used to be a weather reporter before she started working in radio and is currently in the process of getting divorced from her husband.

In the role of Jang Hyung-eun, Kim Sung-kyun (Grid) works with Sung-han as his office administrator. Having lost his previous job and now separated from the wife he thought he would be with forever, Hyung-geun has been feeling like he’s lost his way in life.

Rounding out the three-way bromance is Jung Moon-sung’s (One Dollar Lawyer) Jo Jung-shik. From developing apps to trekking across the country, there is no venture that Jung-shik hasn’t tried. But all that he achieved has now been wasted away and his new humbler calling is working as a real-estate agent.

Written by Yoo Young-ah (Thirty-Nine, Boyfriend) with PD Lee Jae-hoon (Run-On, Chief Kim) at the helm, JTBC’s Sacred Divorce premieres March 4, taking over the weekend slot following Agency.

Jo Seung Woo! As a free-spirited lawyer! With the hairstyle I like (but it doesn't look good on him)... specializes on divorce cases... from this writer... *walks away crying*

With Jung Moon-sung in a (presumably) non nasty role a la HOSPITAL PLAYLIST the deal may have been sealed for me.
I like the long locks on JSW. Kim Nam-gil must have started a trend for the 40 something kdrama guys.
Yes, did the word go out somewhere that 2023 is the year for divorce lawyers?

I don't care about the writer or PD. Jo Seung Woo looks HOT!! I will watch it regardless. *I'm so fickle. I'm sorry*

I did not recognize him with the hair and the glasses. I said who is that guy, lol. That being said only in kdramaland does someone go from music professor on another continent to divorce lawyer at home. Hopefully this is better than his last outing we don't talk about.

I have been waiting for this ever since some leaked pics of his new look was seen online. Glad it’s finally in news.
PD is good. But writer is 🥲
But it’s CSW, so it’s an auto must watch :)
He looks great!

Andd.... I read what the writer had written.....

If I recall, the ML was first offered to Namgoong Min who turned it down for Lovers. Anyways, CSW is a worthy choice to take over. And can I just say, he looks sexy and cute here. No comment on the FL, would have liked Bae Doona (well tbh I love their platonic chemistry but lovers omg need that!!).

Ohmy he's coming back to dramaland but with this writer
hhhhhmmmmm will probably check the first few eps for the cast and PD.

Nooooooo.
*cries in Stranger*
Noping out already for the scriptwriter and the goshawful set up.
I might just watch for the hair. But I think it'll be impossible to outdo KNG's hairdo in TTD(o).

I will likely pass on this one.

I like the casts. PD previous works also ok. But the writer? Ohh man. Boyfriend and thirty nine..not a good track record. 😮‍💨
