May It Please the Court ( Korean: 변론을 시작하겠습니다) is a South Korean television series directed by Kang Min-goo and starring Jung Ryeo-won, Lee Kyu-hyung, Jung Jin-young, and Kim Hye-eun. It was released on all Disney Streaming services on September 21, 2022, including Hulu in United States and Star by Disney+ in selected regions. [1] [2] [3] This drama is an adaptation of the book "Let Me Start the Argument" by Jeong Hye-jin, a lawyer who specializes in public defenders and has been defending the socially disadvantaged, and features vivid stories of real-life cases from the book. [4] [5]
Noh Chak-Hee, a brilliant but ruthless corporate lawyer, is the adopted "granddaughter" of the founder of Seoul's most prominent law firm. Just as she is about to receive a promotion to partner after successfully defending a pharmaceutical company for manufacturing harmful birth control pills, the police arrest her for manipulating a woman who had taken the pills into attempting suicide. She is suspended by her firm for a year and is forced to take a job working as a member of the Seoul public defender's office.
As a public defender, she shares an office with Jwa Si-Baek, a top graduate from the Judicial Research and Training Institute. Instead of becoming a judge, prosecutor, or attorney at a big law firm, he chose to work in the least profitable and least respected legal profession: public defender. He is enthusiastic with his work but also hides a mysterious part of his personal life that nobody knows about. Noh Chak-Hee and Jwa Si-Baek don't get along very well, but a serial murder case brings them together, and as they try to solve the case more secrets unfold, and they grow to trust each-other.
In December 2021, Jung Ryeo-won was offered the role of lawyer Noh Chak-hee in the series. Her agency H& Entertainment informed that she was considering it positively. This series marks her comeback after three years, since she last appeared in 2019 TV series Diary of a Prosecutor. [18] The series directed by Kang Min-goo and written by Kim Dan, is produced by Arc Media and Slingshot Studio. [19]
Principal photography began on January 22, 2022 and filming was wrapped up on June 15, 2022. [11]
