MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge Lee Han-young' is injecting tension into the living rooms as it foreshadows the fierce confrontation between Ji-sung and Park Hee-soon, who stand at the center of absolute power.
In the 8th episode of 'Judge Lee Han-young' airing on the 24th at 9:50 PM, the protagonist Lee Han-young (played by Ji-sung) is depicted as he engages in a tense tug-of-war to realize his own sense of justice despite the pressure from the massive power elite.
In the previous broadcast, Lee Han-young took the unprecedented step of adopting a video as evidence that showed the district office threatening victims during the trial of the sinkhole incident in Nam-myeon, and he requested a prosecution investigation. However, this case is entangled not only in local issues but also in the ruling party's funding problems related to Congressman Kang Jeong-tae and the approval ratings for the next presidential election, raising strong concerns from the political heavyweight Kang Shin-jin (played by Park Hee-soon).
Kang Shin-jin is suspicious of the past connection between the prosecutor in charge of this trial, Park Cheol-woo (played by Hwang Hee), and Lee Han-young, noting that the timing of their arrival in Seoul coincides. As this invisible underwater battle intensifies, the released still cuts capture the deadly eye battle as the two seem to aim sharp blades at each other.
In the office, Lee Han-young and Kang Shin-jin appear to be having a calm conversation on the surface, but a chilling atmosphere arises as they try to gauge each other's intentions. The gaze of the composed Lee Han-young and the beast-like Kang Shin-jin, who tries to see through him, collides in the air, creating a suffocating pressure.
In particular, Lee Han-young is set to confront the new trap designed by Kang Shin-jin and Park Kwang-to (played by Son Byeong-ho). As their endless desire for power brings a dark aura, viewers are focused on how Lee Han-young will respond to their schemes with his strategies and counterattacks.
Additionally, a scene where the tide turns against Kang Shin-jin and Woo Kyo-hoon (played by Jeon Jin-ki) has also been previewed. Kang Shin-jin stands up confidently against Woo Kyo-hoon, who had humiliated him in the past due to his background, while the expression of Woo Kyo-hoon, who is now deep in thought, is expected to act as another variable in the drama.
The lonely battle of Judge Lee Han-young to reveal the truth against power can be confirmed tonight through MBC.
