Pro Bono

Pro Bono follows a once respected judge whose world collapses overnight. His career in tatters, he leaves the bench and steps into a premier law firm that takes on pro bono work. There he teams with a varied, imperfect group of lawyers who fight for clients who could never afford help. The series keeps the humor light while pressing into real life questions about fairness, dignity, and purpose. In this new setting, power shifts from courtroom command to listening, advocacy, and collaboration, as hope surfaces in the most modest victories and the quiet acts that restore trust in a flawed system.

Produced by Kim Seong-yoon, Baek Sang-Hoon, and Moon Yoo-seok, Pro Bono features Jung Kyung-ho, So Joo-yeon, Lee You-young, Yoon Na-moo and Kang Hyung-suk in the lead roles, signaling a prestige level production.

There are no major awards announced yet for Pro Bono, reflecting its status as a new title. The ensemble cast and its mix of humor with serious social themes have drawn early notice from viewers and critics alike, with Jung Kyung-ho's performance and So Joo-yeon's warmth frequently praised.

Reception and themes center on justice, mercy and second chances. Pro Bono treats its clients as people not case files, and shows how teamwork and patient advocacy can reshape a community. Early numbers show an 8.8 out of 10 from six votes, signaling strong interest.
