"The Long Shot Trial" promises a fresh twist on legal dramas in 2027.
"The Long Shot Trial" (native title: "승산 있습니다") is an upcoming South Korean drama set to premiere in 2027 on SBS. This cheerful and comical legal detective series follows a ragtag law firm as they tackle seemingly impossible cases with unconventional methods. Directed by Kwon Da-som, with a script by Jung Jin-young and Kim Eui-chan, it is a remake of the Japanese drama "Legal V ~Ex-Lawyer Shoko Takanashi~". The series airs on Fridays and Saturdays and blends comedy, crime, and law firm dynamics in a workplace setting.
The story centers on Kwon Baek, a former star lawyer who lost his license after a bribery scandal and vanished from the public eye. He makes a spectacular comeback not as a lawyer, but as the eccentric office manager of Seungsan Law Firm, which he runs with a mismatched crew. Known for taking on unwinnable cases, Kwon Baek uses clever traps, dramatic flair, and sharp instincts to uncover the truth and turn hopeless situations into victories.
Joining him is Yeo Sim-hui (also referred to as Yeo Shim-hee), a diligent rookie lawyer with no money or connections. She idolized Kwon Baek in the past and joins the firm, initially disappointed by his current role, only to become inspired by his unique abilities. Together, they navigate complex cases while their mentor-mentee relationship evolves.
"The Long Shot Trial" has generated anticipation among fans of legal comedies and character-driven stories. Its blend of humor, investigation, and personal growth has positioned it as a promising entry in the 2027 lineup.
The drama is a Korean adaptation of a Japanese series, but features significant changes, including gender-swapped lead elements and a more defined "office manager" role suited to the local legal context.
Filming began in February 2026.
Lee Je-hoon returns to SBS after "Taxi Driver 3," while Ha Young marks her return to the network after several years.
The series highlights bickering yet supportive co-worker dynamics and a mentor-mentee relationship in a law firm setting.
"The Long Shot Trial" looks set to deliver entertaining courtroom antics and heartfelt moments with a strong lead duo. Lee Je-hoon's portrayal of the quirky yet brilliant Kwon Baek promises to be a highlight, offering a refreshing take on underdog legal victories. Fans of lighthearted yet clever dramas will likely find much to enjoy when it airs.
The drama will air on SBS in South Korea.
