ENA’s upcoming Monday–Tuesday drama Idol I offers a unique mix of courtroom suspense, romance, and fandom culture. The series explores what happens when professional duty collides with long-held admiration.
The story centers on a top criminal lawyer who secretly lives the life of a devoted idol fan. For years, her passion for a popular idol group has remained hidden behind her sharp suits and intimidating courtroom presence. Everything changes when her favorite idol is accused of murder, and she is assigned as his defense attorney. Forced to confront both her emotions and the truth, she embarks on a dangerous journey to clear his name.
Sooyoung takes on the role of the composed yet emotionally conflicted lawyer, while Kim Jae-yeong plays the idol whose perfect public image begins to crumble under suspicion. As the investigation unfolds, the drama dives into the darker side of fame, media pressure, and justice, while slowly building a restrained but heartfelt romance.
With behind-the-scenes stills already exciting fans, Idol I is set to premiere on December 22, 2025, at 10 PM on ENA, and is expected to resonate strongly with viewers who love legal dramas with emotional depth.
