For an actor, a three-year hiatus is never a short time. Breaking that long silence, which could easily lead to being forgotten by the public, actress Lee Na-young has returned.
But this comeback is anything but ordinary. Instead of quietly seeping in, she has boldly flipped the table! Today, we shine a light on 'Honor: Their Court,' the drama rewriting ENA's history, and the spectacular return of Lee Na-young, who came back with a venomous edge.
1. An Opening That Rewrote History: Surpassing 'Woo Young-woo'?
The first episode ratings hit 3.1%. You might tilt your head at the number, but this is a massive record. It is the highest opening rating in ENA drama history, even higher than the first episode of the syndrome-inducing 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo.' It proves the public was fervently waiting for Lee Na-young's return, making the 3-year gap feel nonexistent.
2. "Stop Barking Nonsense" – The Lee Na-young We Knew Is Gone!
Lee Na-young, playing 'Yoon Ra-young,' a lawyer specializing in sexual violence victims, boldly erased her signature soft and dreamy voice.
Overwhelming Diction: Her venomous remark to the opposing side, "That's a bullshit defense treating the victim like a sinner," induces shivers.
Cold Fury: Instead of her previous mist-like acting, she now dominates the courtroom with a speech style sharp as an ice pick.
This is why viewers are exclaiming, "Was Lee Na-young's pronunciation always this good?" showing how fiercely she prepared for this character over the past three years.
3. The Charisma of the 'Yoon Ra-young Look' Completed with a Suit
Her visuals also steal the show. Instead of modest attire, she roams the courtroom in perfectly tailored suits, creating a narrative in itself.
Her superior proportions as a former model and chic expressions complete the 'Yoon Ra-young Look,' adding immense persuasiveness to the cold-headed lawyer character. An aura that subdues opponents without flashy accessories—this is Lee Na-young's unique power.
4. Perfect 'Womance' with Jung Eun-chae & Lee Chung-ah
Another reason 'Honor' is special is the solidarity with strong allies. Instead of a dashing male lead, she is flanked by Jung Eun-chae (Kang Shin-jae) and Lee Chung-ah (Hwang Hyun-jin).
Jung Eun-chae: The cold-headed law firm operator.
Lee Chung-ah: Sincere towards clients.
Lee Na-young: Moves public opinion.
Watching these three women run towards the goal of 'eradicating crime' delivers a catharsis far more thrilling than most melodramas.
Lee Na-young's Prime Starts Now!
From her eyes shaking at the victim's pain in episode 1 to the desperate moment of being attacked by an assailant in the ending of episode 2, Lee Na-young is renewing her "crazy acting skills" every episode.
What satisfying verdict will she deliver in court after 3 years of silence? Perhaps Lee Na-young's true prime is just beginning now.
