tvN schedules law drama Woman With a Suitcase for July
by javabeans
Cable station tvN is nailing down its scheduling quite a bit in advance, and has announced another show in its future weekend lineup, titled Woman With a Suitcase. Well, the title’s got my interest.
Woman With a Suitcase follows a successful careerwoman who gets framed for a crime and works her way back up after serving her time. She was once an office manager with a thriving career, but that takes a major hit when she is penalized for violating the Attorneys-at-Law Act and sent to prison for it. The drama follows the success story as she comes back as an ex-con, and follows her dream to become an outstanding lawyer. Does part of her dream involve payback to whoever set her up? Because that would be the first dream I entertained once I got back to the land of freedom and private investigators, just sayin’.
The drama will be written by Kwon Eum-mi of chaebol melodrama Royal Family and serial-killer mystery Gap-dong, and directed by PD Kwon Seok-jang of medical drama Golden Time, heartwarming success story Miss Korea, and endearing rom-com Ex-Girlfriend Club. That sure is an interesting mix of credits, isn’t it?
So, the timeline will go thusly: Following current time-bendy thriller Signal on Fridays and Saturdays, we’ll get lawyer-with-Alzheimer’s human drama Memory, to be followed by star writer Noh Hee-kyung’s Dear My Friends, after which Woman With a Suitcase will air, July-ish.

During this whole description, I couldn't help but wonder - did she have a suitcase with her throughout the entire time? What kind was it? Vintage? With wheels?

I think of it as the baggage of woes she carries on her shoulders that Spurs her on to succeed and become a successful person in every way

it's a trunk with a thousand little legs that follows her around and acts vaguely threatening

Oooh... I wonder if this kind of trunk carries our dreams to us every night...
What do those feet wear? Trainers? Gucci heels?

LOL. I suppose it would be too much to hope the suitcase eats people.

Honestly, royal family and gapdong were both terrible dramas, so I'll probably skip this one.

Haven't watched any of the credits, but this sounds awesome on paper! I'll wait to see who they cast as the lead until I get too excited, but my eye is definitely on this.
Any ideas for who the lead should be, guys?

Kwon Seok-jang means I'll give it an episode at least. Big fan of his work, especially Golden Time.
Just wondering, is there a revolving door between prison and legal professions in Korea (lawyers, judges, even lawmakers, etc)? Because it really seems like there is in dramaland, but you never know with these things.

I think it'd be great to see Lee Bo Young back again as a bad-ass lawyer... she's honestly the only one who comes to my mind.
Premise sounds interesting. And tvN's been on a roll recently so i'll most likely be tuning in.

Gap-dong? Aigoo !
Show should have had potential, the writer f'ed it up.
Still somewhat enjoyed the two Kims, Kim Ji-wo and Kim Min-jung.
