Actor Jeon Seok-ho has left a lasting, warm impression on viewers with his perfect portrayal of Yoon Bong-soo, a character blending sly wit and sincere warmth, in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘Shin-irang Law Firm’.
The series wrapped up its 16-episode run on the 2nd. Jeon Seok-ho proved his undeniable presence until the very end, acting as the law firm’s office manager and a key player who balanced the team as a reliable supporter.
In the show, Bong-soo showcased his strategic side by securing a recording device, a crucial piece of evidence to uncover the truth behind the death of Shin Ki-jung (played by Choi Won-young). While Lee Rang (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) distracted Law Firm Taebaek, Bong-soo infiltrated the scene disguised as an internet reporter. By inducing a power outage to access a secret safe, he successfully secured the evidence, leading to the satisfying arrest of Yang Byeong-il (played by Choi Kwang-il) and the downfall of Taebaek. Jeon Seok-ho brought the role to life with his natural acting and quick timing during the infiltration sequence.
His devoted love for his family also touched the hearts of viewers. He added human charm to the character, portraying Bong-soo’s sincerity as a husband, father, and son-in-law through warm gazes and a gentle tone. By combining his strong support for Lee Rang with a transparent approach to solving cases, Jeon Seok-ho created the unique and unforgettable “romantic office manager” character.
Following the series finale, Jeon Seok-ho shared his gratitude through his agency, stating that it was a happy experience to work with such wonderful actors and staff on such a heartwarming project. He added a sincere message, saying he was able to become a warmer person thanks to the love from viewers, and expressed his hope that the comfort provided by ‘Shin-irang’ reached the audience. Meanwhile, Jeon Seok-ho’s busy schedule continues with the TVING original ‘Yumi’s Cells Season 3’, which is set to release its final episode on the 4th.
