The ENA channel has unveiled new images of « Honor« this time highlighting Seo Hyun-woo in a role of unsettling complexity. Adapted from a Swedish series, the drama follows three female lawyers confronted with a major scandal buried in the past, in an investigation where power, morality and truth collide.
Seo Hyun-woo plays the role of Park Je-yeol, a well-groomed criminal division prosecutor whose demeanor is always controlled. On the surface, he seems to embody the ideal of the rational, calm and methodical magistrate, rarely overcome by emotion. Yet behind this irreproachable facade lies a much darker personality.
A duality fueled by inferiority and envy
The new photos underline this dual nature with precision. Perfectly tailored suit, cool gaze and confident posture: Park Je-yeol gives the image of a man guided by logic and discipline. But beneath this polished surface lies a deep-seated inferiority, nourished by slavish admiration for the powerful and arrogant contempt for the weak.
This inner tension gradually weakens his equilibrium. At times, his need for recognition and repressed desires override his rationality, revealing a much more worrying side. Park Je-yeol seems to hide everything behind his icy calm, but the cracks are there, ready to open at the slightest shock.
The production emphasizes this subtle transformation: «Seo Hyun-woo may seem to have all the qualities of a prosecutor, but he has created a complex character, marked by an underlying instability. His chilling presence will enhance the mystery and dramatic tension of Honor. We hope the public will pay close attention to his evolution as an actor.»
With this ambiguous character, Honor continues to build a gallery of psychologically rich figures, where every certainty can crack at any moment.
Honor will be broadcast from February 2 at 10 p.m. (KST) on ENA (waiting for an OTT).
