"The Law Cafe" was a project of personal significance to Kwon Da-ham, as it was his first regular credited role in a television drama. His previous appearances in other dramas had been special appearances, though Kwon Da-ham did have the leading role in the independent film "Through My Midwinter" last year. This directly led to his getting cast in "The Law Cafe" this year as the casting director saw the movie.

Apparently Kwon Da-ham didn't think he'd be able to participate due to his short haircut which he had gotten for work in another project. However, Kwon Da-ham was told that he could just use a wig, which is present in all of his scenes. This was most memorably a problem in the drama's final episode in the wedding scene, which called for a scuffle, during which Kwon Da-ham had to subtly protect his wig to insure that it didn't fall off.

Kwon Da-ham is also likely to see more appearances in the near future. He signed a contract with Noon Company in September adjacent to the premiere of "The Law Cafe" on television. Kwon Da-ham claimed to already be working on another project, though he did not name it, and that his work there would be finished within the year. Kwon Da-ham closed by stating that he would work hard to appear in many other projects. "The Law Cafe" ended on October 25th with ratings of 5.3%.
