What Is Honour About?

Three elite women have been inseparable since university — Yoon Ra-young (Lee Na-young), Kang Shin-jae (Jung Eun-chae), and Hwang Hyun-jin (Lee Chung-ah). For two decades they’ve built their careers at L&J Law Firm (Listen and Join), specialists in defending female victims of crime.

Then a secret they buried 20 years ago resurfaces — tied to a present-day case involving a secret prostitution app called Connect In. Prosecutor Park Je-yeol (Seo Hyun-woo) is circling closer. The three friends must now fight for the truth while protecting each other — and themselves — from a past that was always going to catch up.

The show is adapted from the acclaimed 2019 Swedish series Heder and has been re-crafted to reflect Korean social dynamics around justice, silence, and women’s dignity. The title Honour is deliberate — it doesn’t just mean prestige, it symbolises the dignity these three women refuse to surrender, even when everything conspires to take it.

Why 3.1% Is a Story Worth Telling

On paper, a 3.1% cable rating sounds modest. In context, it’s a quiet triumph. Honour launched without the backing of a top-tier network, without Netflix global distribution, and without male lead-driven marketing — the three crutches most Korean dramas lean on. What it does have is Lee Na-young’s first drama comeback in years, a genuinely gripping plot, and writing that treats its audience as adults.

With Spring Fever off the air, Honour is now running solo — and that 3.1% holding firm rather than dropping is exactly the signal ENA needed to see. The pressure of going alone in the slot is real, and the drama is meeting it.

Episode 5 thickened the plot considerably: L&J closes in on Connect In while Park Je-yeol’s pressure intensifies. Kang Shin-jae’s confrontation with the prosecutor in a pre-release clip has fans calling it the show’s best scene yet.
