[Orion's Daily Ramblings] "Miss Hammurabi" Releases Stills of Go Ara as Idealistic, Bold Judge

Being overly emotional and idealistic as a judge may not be the wisest approach, but that certainly means little to Park-Cha Oh-reum, the character Go Ara will be portraying for "Miss Hammurabi". We have new stills of the character on the clock and off, as well as some more information on her approach and personality.

"Miss Hammurabi" is a drama about three judges. Idealistic junior judge, Park-Cha Oh-reum (Go Ara) dreams of a court which is firm against those strong and soft against those weak. For elite judge Im Ba-reun (Kim Myung-soo), principles and rules trump good intentions, while chief judge Han Se-sang (Sung Dong-il) is a realist who understands the weight of the world.

Go Ara's judge is someone who turns the court upside down, and who won't tolerate injustice. Oh-reum has a bright and positive demeanor, which charms those around her. As a judge, she is someone who always tries to keep the voice of the people heard, and to share their pain, creating a humane trial environment.

The actress has made a few comments on her role and work here, stating "I am working on this while concentrating on my ability to sympathize with the case". She added "Having grown up knowing the struggles of the socially vulnerable, Oh-reum dreams of a court which acts like medicine for people whose pain she sympathizes with. She considers every incident as important as if it were her own. So the current focus is on concentration and sympathy for immersion in the cases. I am excited to meet viewers with the character of a judge. I would appreciate you looking forward to some fun episodes stemming from this smart and bold character's sense of justice".

That sounds like someone with her heart in the right place, but her head potentially clouded by it. I'm interested in seeing what type of a person she will be, and what lessons she may learn as she develops. With writer Moon Yoo-suk's own experience as a judge, we should get quite the insightful perspective. I know Go Ara is very much not liked by some, but I've been okay with what I have seen of her so far, and I hope she can do well as Oh-reum.

"Miss Hammurabi" will be following "Welcome to Waikiki" starting May 21st on jTBC.
