Go Soo, Kwon Yuri, Baek Ji Won, and Lee Hak Joo personally revealed the key points to watch for in tvN‘s new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Parole Judge Lee Han Shin’ (directed by Yoon Sang Ho, written by Park Chi Hyung).
‘Parole Judge Lee Han Shin’ is a drama that depicts the thrilling and ironclad defense of lawyer Lee Han Shin (played by Go Soo), who becomes a ‘Parole Judge’, the final judge of inmates who stops people with bad conscience. Ahead of the first broadcast on the 18th, Go Soo (as Lee Han-shin), Kwon Yu-ri (as Ahn Seo-yoon), Baek Ji-won (as Choi Hwa-ran), and Lee Hak-joo (as Ji Myeong-seop) shared some of the points to watch for.
According to the production team, Go Soo, who will first lead the drama as the ironclad parole officer Lee Han-shin, said, “‘Parole Officer Lee Han-shin’ is a light-hearted piece that isn’t heavy,” and “I think you’ll enjoy it more if you watch it with curiosity about the parole system and the job of a parole officer that the drama deals with.”
Kwon Yu-ri, who plays the role of Ahn Seo-yoon, an ace detective in the metropolitan investigation team who catches ‘bad guys’, said, “‘Parole Officer Lee Han-shin’ is ‘cider’,’ and said, “This drama is as powerful and exhilarating as cider, so please watch it a lot.”
Baek Ji-won, who plays Choi Hwa-ran, a legend in the private loan industry, said, “‘Parole Officer Lee Han-shin’ is a work that includes not only action and humanity, but also mystery. “I think it would be better if the viewers enjoy the drama by following the story and deducing the hidden truth,” he said. “And all the characters have such strong personalities that you can’t take your eyes off them.”
Lastly, Lee Hak-joo, who returns as the arrogant second-generation villain Ji Myeong-seop, said, “This is a drama where you can experience pleasant exhilaration through the story of a ‘parole officer’ who stands on the side of justice,” and added, “The fact that the work is done by a ‘senior senior’ is also a charming point of the drama.”
The first episode of ‘Parole Officer Lee Han-shin’ will air at 8:50 p.m. on the 18th.
