MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 『Judge Lee Han-young" (planned by Jang Jae-hoon, script by Kim Kwang-min, director Lee Jae-jin and Park Mi-yeon) is a return-to-justice drama that depicts the terrible rebellion of judge Lee Han-young (Jisung), who punishes the great evil after returning to the past 10 years ago after living as a slave of power. It is based on 100 million cumulative views of web novels and webtoons, 'All-time Topicality'.
Director Lee Jae-jin and writer Kim Kwang-min, as well as other ultra-luxury actors such as Ji Sung, Park Hee-soon, Won Jin-ah, Tae Won-seok, Baek Jin-hee, Oh Se-young, Hwang Hee, Kim Tae-woo, Information Sang and Kim Beop-rae, were gathered at the script reading site. From the beginning, the actors overwhelmed the scene with their immersive ability to rip the script and raised their character's charm to the maximum, launching a full-fledged box office signal.
Ji Sung is trying to renew her life character once again through Lee Han-young, who awakens from 'Haenal Law Firm's Hedgehog' to 'Puncher' for Justice Realization'. The script reading alone perfectly digested the mother's death, the bond of power, and the runaway emotional line after the return, signaling a more intense transformation.
Park Hee-soon appeared as Kang Shin-jin, a senior criminal judge at the Seoul Central District Court, and depicted his harsh ambition to seek the `peak of power' with heavy charisma. Attention is focused on the heated confrontation between Lee Han-young and his colleagues as enemies.
Won Jin-ah, who will play the tough special prosecutor Kim Jin-ah, also expressed her tenacity for revenge and her inner conflict in detail, drawing admiration from the scene. Another 'key point to watch' is her fierce battle between her father's death, faith and doubt.
On top of that, Tae Won-seok, Baek Jin-hee, Oh Se-young, Hwang Hee, Kim Tae-woo, Information-sang, and Kim Beop-rae, actors who are called Trust-Bobae based on their names alone, have countered their performances.
The drama 'Judge Lee Han-young', which will provide a cool feeling of winding in complex interests, will air on the afternoon of January 2, 2026.
