What kind of story will unfold in the end?

tvN‘s Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Parole Judge Lee Han-shin’ (directed by Yoon Sang-ho, written by Park Chi-hyung) depicts the ironclad defense battle of lawyer Lee Han-shin (played by Go Soo) who becomes the final judge of prisoners. It is now nearing its end, garnering attention for its novel subject matter of ‘parole’ and its refreshing development.

In episode 11, Lee Han-shin was falsely accused and arrested, but thanks to a signature campaign by Ahn Seo-yoon (played by Kwon Yu-ri), Choi Hwa-ran (played by Baek Ji-won), and Cheon Soo-beom (played by Cho Seung-yeon), his arrest was overturned and he was released from the detention center. After his release, Lee Han-shin strongly declared war on the Ohjung Group, saying, “The truth will eventually be revealed to the world”, foreshadowing their final battle. Attention is being paid to what kind of story the remaining ending will complete.


● Go Soo, Kwon Yuri, and Baek Ji Won who have come together for justice, what will be their final cooperation?

According to the production team, Ahn Seo Yoon, a superintendent of the metropolitan investigation team, and Choi Hwa Ran, a loan shark, initially followed Lee Han Shin’s outrageous plan with half-belief, but now they trust Lee Han Shin more than anyone else and show strong teamwork centered around him. The two who initially growled at each other, saying they couldn‘t work together, made a plan together to save Lee Han Shin and started a signature drive. In addition, Ahn Seo Yoon, who used to be a stickler for principle, has changed into a flexible character to realize justice, and Choi Hwa Ran has changed into someone who spends money for Lee Han Shin rather than making money.

With Lee Han Shin’s release, the three who have become complete come together again to take aim at the Oh Jung Group. Their teamwork, which has become stronger in the process, will shine. The still cuts released by the production team show Lee Han-shin holding a USB containing evidence of the murder of Jimin Seop (played by Lee Hak-joo) that Choi Won-mi (played by Hwang Woo-seul-hye) found, Ahn Seo-yoon pointing a gun at someone, and Choi Hwa-ran driving somewhere with a serious expression. This time too, they each show off their unique cooperation using what they do best. What will be the final plan that the three of them have come up with to bring down the Ohjeong Group?

Until now, Ji Myeong-seop, who has committed wrongdoings under his father Ji Dong-man‘s protection and has never paid the price for them, killed everyone, starting with Ahn Seo-yoon’s younger sister Ahn Da-yoon (played by Kim Ye-na), Choi Jeong-hak (played by Nam Min-woo) who had evidence of Ahn Da-yoon‘s murder, and Lim Jeong-gyun (played by Lim Hyo-woo) who was in charge of the aftermath of the incident. Ji Dong-man is committing another crime to cover up his son’s crime.
