MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge Lee Han Young' has surpassed its halfway mark, thanks to its compelling storyline and stellar performances. Let's delve into the captivating ending scenes that have become a major highlight of the show.
In episode 2, the thrilling ending where Lee Han Young (played by Ji Sung) confronts Kim Sang Jin (played by Bae In Hyuk) left viewers on the edge of their seats. Before his time travel, Han Young was deceived by Sang Jin's tears during a trial for attempted theft, resulting in a lenient sentence. However, Sang Jin was actually a serial killer, leading to innocent victims. Determined to correct his past mistakes, Han Young, now in 2025, accelerates his car towards the fleeing Sang Jin, incapacitating him.
Episode 3 showcased Han Young's clever tactics. He unnerved viewers by calling witness Kim Ga Young (played by Jang Hee Ryung), who falsely claimed she didn't have a personal phone. In episode 4, he shook the judiciary by exposing a ledger of military service corruption involving influential figures' children. Episode 5 ended unpredictably with Han Young visiting Haenal Law Firm, where his past wife and current blind date, Yoo Se Hee (played by Oh Se Young), works.
The climactic ending of episode 6 amplified the allure of 'Judge Lee Han Young.' In a shocking scene, Han Young threatens Nam-myeon District Mayor Choo Yong Jin (played by Lee Jang Won) with a forklift, seeking justice for a family who lost their son in a sinkhole incident. Han Young's unwavering gaze while operating the forklift delivered a fresh jolt to viewers.
The tension peaked in episodes 7 and 8. At the end of episode 7, Han Young encounters killer Kwak Soon Won (played by Park Geon Il), hired by Kang Shin Jin (played by Park Hee Soon), while pursuing Choo Yong Jin, who is attempting to flee. Episode 8 concluded with Han Young making an irresistible offer to Haenal Law Firm's CEO Yoo Sun Chul (played by Ahn Nae Sang) to hunt down the judiciary's White Tiger, Baek Yi Seok (played by Kim Tae Woo), pushing the ratings to a peak of 13.9%.
'Judge Lee Han Young' airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
