The drama dives into the life of a labor attorney, exploring the complexities of workplace conflicts and relationships. Previously, Jung Kyung Ho was confirmed and is set to portray the titular role, with reports suggesting that Seol In Ah is considering the offer to play the female lead.

But recently, in April, discussions emerged about the project possibly getting scrapped. On April 5th, Jung Kyung Ho made an appearance on PD Na Young Seok’s YouTube channel, reuniting with his Hospital Playlist co-stars Jo Jung Suk, Kim Dae Myung, Yoo Yeon Seok, and Jeon Mi So.

The video showcased the stars engaging in heartfelt conversations while casually catching up over a table adorned with food and drinks. During one exchange, Jung Kyung Ho was asked about some of his projects. He shared "I collapsed. There were many cases when a particular project didn’t work out. I heard there are six or seven of them already.”

This snippet from the YouTube video sparked significant interest among fans eagerly awaiting the actor’s next drama, Labor Attorney Noh Moo Jin. Given that this is the only confirmed project for Jung Kyung Ho thus far, many netizens speculated whether his remarks hinted at his potential departure from the role and the K-drama being scrapped. However, with Cha Hak Yeon reportedly in discussions to take part in the series, it indicates that the K-drama is progressing in production, offering hope that viewers may soon enjoy it on their screens.
