Jung Kyung-ho's 'Free Legal Aid' Mistaken for 'Free Hugs' in 'Pro Bono' Teaser

tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Pro Bono,' set to premiere on December 6th, has released a teaser that shows protagonist Kang Da-wit, played by Jung Kyung-ho, hilariously encountering misunderstandings while promoting his pro bono legal services.

'Pro Bono' is a human legal drama depicting the chaotic journey of an ambitious judge who unintentionally becomes a public interest lawyer and finds himself trapped in the derelict, zero-revenue pro bono team of a mega law firm.

The teaser begins with Kang Da-wit, impeccably dressed in a suit, standing in the middle of a street. He holds up a sign that reads 'Pro Bono,' prompting confused murmurs from passersby asking, "What is Pro Bono?" Anticipating this, Da-wit flips the sign to reveal a simpler message: 'FREE Legal Aid,' directly conveying the concept of pro bono.

However, the situation takes an unexpected turn. The crowd mistakes 'FREE Legal Aid' for 'FREE Hugs' and begins to embrace Da-wit one after another. Caught in a flurry of hugs, a flustered Da-wit exclaims, "It's FREE Legal Aid, not FREE Hugs!"

He then leaves the audience pondering with, "You don't know? Pro Bono?!" The teaser successfully and humorously conveys the meaning of pro bono through a short, amusing incident, heightening anticipation for the drama. This winter, viewers are eagerly awaiting 'Pro Bono' for its depiction of the unpredictable lives of lawyers dedicating themselves to public interest cases without charge, promising both entertainment and relatable stories.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically to Jung Kyung-ho's comedic portrayal, commenting, "Really looking forward to Jung Kyung-ho's signature comedic acting," "Is it okay for a legal drama to be this funny?", and "I'll definitely tune in for Pro Bono!"
