He continued, "During the script reading, Ji Sung's light performance made me think, 'This is fun,' and 'This will work.' But seeing the same scene on set, I thought, 'Is he really showing it like this?' It gave me chills."
He further added, "I thought, 'He's amazing,' 'His tone changes dramatically,' and 'This actor truly shows his skills through acting,'" expressing his admiration without reservation.
Meanwhile, 'Judge Lee Han Young' started with a 4.3% viewership rating for its first episode and surpassed 10% by the fifth episode, continuously breaking its own highest ratings with each episode.
