Actresses Lee Na Young and Jung Eun Chae have been officially cast in the upcoming drama 'Honor,' which will represent their first collaboration on screen.
Reported by industry sources on March 26th KST, the duo will take the lead roles in 'Honor,' a mystery thriller that tracks the journey of three female lawyers as they delve into a significant scandal from the past with a strong emphasis on female camaraderie toward revealing the truth. This series is a reimagination of a Swedish drama bearing the same title.
In the drama, Lee Na Young will portray Yoon Ra Young, a lawyer at L&J Law Firm known for her captivating eloquence and remarkable appearance. Struggling with haunting memories from 20 years ago, her character is rich with emotional depth.

Meanwhile, Jung Eun Chae will assume the role of Kang Shin Jae, the powerful and charismatic head of L&J Law Firm. Playing the leadership role within the trio, she is depicted as a determined individual who stops at nothing to achieve her goals. Following her appearance in the period drama 'Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born' last year, where she portrayed a strong and androgynous character, fans are eager to witness the fierce energy she will bring to 'Honor.'
The production team is finalizing the casting for the third female lead and is gearing up to commence filming soon. Discussions regarding the airing channel and streaming platform are ongoing.
Lee Na Young debuted as a commercial model in 1998 and has since starred in various successful dramas and films like 'KAIST,' 'Ruler of Your Own World,' 'Ireland,' 'Romance Is a Bonus Book,' and 'Our Happy Time,' showcasing her versatility as an actress.
