Lee Sun-kyun and Jung Ryeo-won have been confirmed as the lead actors of JTBC’s new drama titled War of Prosecutors, which will be directed and written by the same PD-writer team behind the two seasons of the coming-of-age series Age of Youth.

Also called as Inside Stories of Prosecutors, the upcoming drama is expected to depict the realistic story of two ordinary prosecutors who are working in a local prosecutor’s office. It is based on a bestseller of the same name that contains a collection of essays about the everyday lives of prosecutors, which is written by a real-life prosecutor named Kim Woong.

War of Prosecutors sets itself apart from other prosecutor-themed dramas by focusing on the “ordinary events” and veering off the typical TV representation of prosecutors—who usually deal with huge or high-profile cases.

Lee Sun-kyun signed up for the role of Prosecutor Lee Sun-woong who is working at a local district prosecutor’s office. He might appear slow and lack ambitions in life but deep down inside he is a different man.

Lee was last seen playing a lead role on TV in My Mister, which was awarded Best Drama last May at the 55th Baeksang Arts Award. He is also fresh off the success of Parasite, the first ever South Korean film to win the top prize (Palme d’Or) at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

Meanwhile, Jung Ryeo-won (Wok of Love) took on the role of an elite prosecutor named Cha Myung-joo who is on a roll at the Central District Prosecutor’s Office when she is suddenly transferred to a local branch.

War of Prosecutors will be directed and written by Lee Tae-gon and Park Yeon-sun, respectively, who previously collaborated with each other in Age of Youth‘s first and second season. Its premiere is slated for November.
