## Synopsis

Shin's Project (2025) is a South Korean comic drama series created by Shin Kyung-soo for tvN, produced by Studio Dragon. Han Suk-kyu plays CEO Shin Jae-yi, a mediator who takes on disputes for people standing on the edge of a cliff with almost no chance of winning. Bae Hyeon-seong plays Cho Philip, and Lee Re plays Lee Si-on, both drawn into the high-pressure cases that make up each episode. Kim Seung-oh, Woo Mi-hwa, and Kim Sang-ho fill out the supporting cast in a corporate world where every negotiation carries real stakes. The engine of the show is simple and satisfying: a seemingly hopeless client, a rival party with the upper hand, and a clever strategy that must hold together under pressure. Its single season of twelve hour-long episodes plays as a contained, case-driven story rather than a sprawling saga. The tone balances wry humor with genuine desperation, so the drama lands emotionally while the comedy keeps the tension light and watchable. Set in contemporary Seoul, it draws on Korean corporate culture and the tradition of the tvN dramedy. Fans of Suits, Misaeng, and Better Call Saul will find resonance in its blend of sharp dialogue, legal-style maneuvering, and underdog charm.
