[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama 'Hyena' is gaining momentum by ranking first in its time slot.

On the 6th, 'Hyena' aired an episode where Jung Geumja (played by Kim Hyesoo), who joined Song & Kim as a partner, becomes the team leader of the case previously handled by Yoon Heejae (played by Joo Jihoon). Jung Geumja received a scouting offer from Gong Heon-guk (played by Jung Won-young) of Song & Kim. Gong Heon-guk said, "I have been closely watching Jung Geumja’s performance," and persuaded her by saying, "Let’s work together on a bigger stage."

In response, Jung Geumja asked about the conditions, glanced over the contract Gong Heon-guk presented, and stepped back saying, "Please give me some time to think. It’s a sudden proposal." Then Gong Heon-guk grabbed Jung Geumja and said, "There is a line in a movie I like: 'An offer you can’t refuse.'"

He then quietly threatened her by showing a dossier from his background check on Jung Geumja, saying, "You must choose whether to be disbarred as a third-rate lawyer or be reborn at a top-tier law firm."

Having joined Song & Kim, Jung Geumja struggles to work with the proud lawyers there. Song Piljoong (played by Lee Kyung-young) handed over the D&T listing case, previously handled by Yoon Heejae, to Jung Geumja. When she asked why she was chosen, Song Piljoong said, "Because Jung Byun is different from our lawyers," and instructed her to cooperate with lawyer Yoon Heejae, who originally handled the D&T listing case.

Jung Geumja refused, saying, "I have my own plans and style," but Song Piljoong said, "Whether you accept the team or not, you won’t get the job done without Yoon’s help," adding a meaningful remark, "No matter the process, Song & Kim speaks only through results."

Jung Geumja met each member of the D&T listing team who had worked with Yoon Heejae, informed them that she was the new team leader, and scheduled meetings. She also met separately with Yoon Heejae, growling at each other to leave the D&T team.

However, what the two really need to be concerned about is not the case but the fact that they were briefly lovers in the past. Moreover, Sim Yumi (played by Hwang Bora), who knows about their relationship, visits Song & Kim, putting the two in a desperate crisis.

The 3rd episode of 'Hyena,' aired on the 6th, recorded ratings of 9.7% (Part 1) and 11.8% (Part 2) in the metropolitan area, with the highest rating soaring to 13.2%, ranking first in its time slot.

The continuing story of Jung Geumja and Yoon Heejae, who are trapped in a cramped supply room and bickering, can be seen on the 7th at 10 PM on SBS’s 'Hyena.'
