Waiting Game: “The Long Shot Trial” Gets Pushed Back

Filming wrapped, the cast was set, and a spring 2027 slot was planned. Now the schedule for SBS’s legal comedy “The Long Shot Trial” has hit the pause button.

What Was Confirmed?

On October 19, a media outlet reported that the drama’s broadcast plans had been put on hold.

The Long Shot Trial: Overview

About the Story

The drama follows the ragtag members of a law office led by Kwon Baek (Lee Je Hoon), a former lawyer now working as the office manager. Ha Young plays rookie lawyer Yeo Shim Hee, who has no money or powerful connections but works harder than anyone.

The Background

In August, Ha Young faced controversy after it emerged that her great-grandfather was Ahn Sang Ho, known for pro-Japanese activities during the colonial period. She issued a handwritten apology as a descendant, and later stepped down from the new seasons of Netflix’s The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call. For historical context, see Korea under Japanese rule on Wikipedia.

What Happens Next?

SBS stressed that the drama is the work of countless staff and cast members, so no final decision has been made. Until an official update arrives, treat any new release rumors with caution.
