help Hyena FAQ

Why do Jung Geum-ja and Yoon Hee-jae become rivals in Hyena?

Both are ambitious lawyers competing for wealthy, powerful clients, but they use sharply different methods. Geum-ja relies on improvisation and streetwise tactics, while Hee-jae begins from a more privileged position at the elite firm Song & Kim.

Do the two lead lawyers in Hyena have a romantic relationship?

Yes. Their professional rivalry is complicated by attraction and by Geum-ja's deceptive first approach to Hee-jae. The series develops the relationship alongside corporate cases rather than treating it as a separate romance plot.

Who plays the lead roles in Hyena?

Kim Hye-soo plays Jung Geum-ja, and Ju Ji-hoon plays Yoon Hee-jae. The series aired on South Korea's SBS in 2020.

Is Hyena a realistic courtroom procedural?

It uses legal cases and corporate power struggles, but its style is faster and more heightened than a strictly procedural drama. Viewers looking for another Korean series centered on elite legal competition might also recognize themes found in Stranger or Law School.
