Cool, confident character posters and a second teaser for Woman With a Suitcase

by chickachunga

We’re about a week away from the premiere of MBC’s new Monday-Tuesday legal drama Woman With a Suitcase, and new promo materials have been released. Written by Kwon Eum-mi (Gap-dong) and directed by PD Kwon Seok-jang (Ex-Girlfriend Club), Woman With a Suitcase is the story of a capable legal office manager, played by Choi Ji-woo (Twenty Again), who overcomes hardships and bounces back from misfortune to get herself through law school and open her own practice.

The character posters all have a green backdrop, and the four leads appear to be perched atop a bench. I’m not digging the green as it makes our characters resemble cardboard cutouts, but other than looking two-dimensional, the assuredness of these legal professionals comes across.

Cha Geum-joo is the name of our titular heroine, aka “Seocho District’s No. 1 office worker,” and in her poster, she rests her elbow against her trusty suitcase. The copy reads, “Life imprisonment? If you come to me, you’re not guilty.”

Next up, we have a dapperly dressed Hahm Bok-geo played by Joo Jin-mo (Beloved Eun-dong). He’s the heroine’s love interest and a former prosecutor turned head honcho of a mysterious tabloid company called K-Fact. Naturally, his copy reads, “Rumors come to me.”

Jeon Hye-bin (Oh Hae-young Again) takes on the role of Park Hye-su and sits with her arms crossed. The “don’t mess” vibe is crystal clear and augmented by her copy: “What’s mine… Can’t give to anyone.” She’s described as “the lawyer geared with hidden poison.”

Rounding out the main four, we have Lee Joon (Vampire Prosecutor) as Ma Seok-woo looking rather smart-alecky and casual in a sweatshirt and jeans. He’s the wacky one with the hot brain, and his copy reads, “I am a lawyer.”

The brief teaser introduces us to the woman with a suitcase, and she carries herself with an air of confidence. We then see Joo Jin-mo driving around in a convertible and sitting next to Lee Joon in the courtroom; he’s looking uneasy which is probably why he seeks Choi Ji-woo’s expertise. But they start off on the wrong foot, quarreling outside a church. There are glimpses of a certain case — an unconscious female patient, a dead canary — and we end with Joo reluctantly requesting Choi to accompany him somewhere, and neither seems thrilled by the idea as they’re getting drenched in the downpour. The tagline at the end reads, “the case becomes a scandal which turns into melodrama.”

MBC’s Woman With a Suitcase will premiere on September 26 after Monster ends its run.
