The Judge Returns
판사 이한영Checked and re-read
Is it worth it
A corrupt judge dies and resurrects with a second chance, and the fourteen episodes use the premise for revenge rather than redemption. The action is fun, the corruption mechanics are sharp, and the last hour is rushed in a way that feels like a deadline rather than a choice. A premise this good deserved a tighter script and three fewer episodes.
The return of corrupt judge Lee Han-young, who was a slave to a large law firm, to the past 10 years ago. He makes new choices to punish evil and implement justice.
