Lee Jung-jae & Im Ji-yeon Get Seriously Entangled in 'The Unlovely Lawyer' Episode 2

tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'The Unlovely Lawyer' has released new stills hinting at a deeper entanglement between stars Lee Jung-jae and Im Ji-yeon as they head into their second episode.

In the first episode, top actor Im Hyun-jun (Lee Jung-jae) began a tumultuous relationship with Wi Jeong-shin (Im Ji-yeon) from their very first meeting. His daily life was shaken by unforeseen events, and they clashed again due to misunderstandings on the red carpet at an awards ceremony. The episode ended with Im Hyun-jun suffering public humiliation via a live broadcast in his underwear, foreshadowing an even more dynamic encounter with Wi Jeong-shin.

The newly released stills depict chaos at the airport. Im Hyun-jun and his CEO Hwang (Choi Gwi-hwa) stop in their tracks upon witnessing a commotion upon their return from an overseas schedule. Wi Jeong-shin is seen standing blankly with a torn jacket sleeve, hinting that this airport visit was far from smooth.

Furthermore, Wi Jeong-shin steps in to protect Lee Jae-hyung (Kim Ji-hoon), who will become her future boss. A striking contrast is drawn between Wi Jeong-shin's determined expression and Lee Jae-hyung's smiling observation of the situation. This scene marks Wi Jeong-shin's first steps as an entertainment reporter, covering the arrivals and departures of celebrities.

The chemistry between Im Hyun-jun and Wi Jeong-shin, now reunited as an actor and a reporter, is set to ignite. Im Hyun-jun showcases his professional actor persona with a bright smile and heart gestures while visiting a police station for a donation event. In stark contrast, Wi Jeong-shin looks at him with disbelief, setting the stage for the heated second round of their antagonistic rivalry.

The production team of 'The Unlovely Lawyer' stated, "In the second episode airing today (4th), Im Hyun-jun and Wi Jeong-shin will become entangled through even more unexpected coincidences. Please look forward to their story as they bring significant ripples into each other's lives with their increasingly petty and childish animosity." They added, "The appearance of new characters who will add to the dynamism will also be exciting."

Meanwhile, the second episode of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'The Unlovely Lawyer' airs today (4th) at 8:50 PM.

Netizens are expressing strong anticipation, commenting things like, "The chemistry between Lee Jung-jae and Im Ji-yeon is already amazing," "It looks like their bickering will be so fun," and "I'm really looking forward to the next episode!"
