'Judge Lee Han-young' released two group posters depicting the clash between the forces of good and evil.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge Lee Han-young' (planned by Jang Jae-hoon, written by Kim Kwang-min, directed by Lee Jae-jin and Park Mi-yeon), scheduled to premiere on Jan. 2, 2026 (Fri), is a justice-restoration time-travel drama about a corrupt judge, Lee Han-young, who lived as a slave of a giant law firm and returns to 10 years earlier to punish great evil through new choices.
On the 19th (today), the producers of 'Judge Lee Han-young' released group posters that highlight the contrast between the forces of light and darkness. In the two released posters, Ji-seong (Lee Han-young) pursuing justice and Park Hee-soon (Kang Shin-jin) chasing desire each stand at the center, drawing attention.
First, in the poster where Lee Han-young firmly holds the center, Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office prosecutor Kim Jin-a (Won Jina), tied together in solidarity, and Han-young's best friend Seok Jung-ho (Tae Won-seok), Daejin Ilbo reporter Song Na-yeon (Baek Jin-hee), and Chungnam District Prosecutors' Office prosecutor Park Cheol-woo (Hwang Hee) surround Han-young. The confident, clear gazes of these people make the copy 'We will definitely bring them to court' shine even brighter.
In the drama, Kim Jin-a and Park Cheol-woo initially show caution toward Han-young because of his actions but come to recognize his sincerity and unite with him as characters who will serve as solid support on his side. Seok Jung-ho is a loyal friend who helps without hesitation at Han-young's request, and Song Na-yeon, after receiving help from Han-young, is expected to take his hand and confront great evil. Attention is focused on whether Han-young, who returned to 10 years earlier, can shake off the stigma of being a corrupt judge and complete justice with the support of his colleagues.
Meanwhile, the villains' poster centered on Kang Shin-jin features Yoo Se-hee (Oh Se-young), Yoo Seon-cheol (Ahn Nae-sang), Jang Tae-sik (Kim Beop-rae), and Kwak Soon-won (Park Geon-il). The phrase 'There is no justice everyone agrees on' and their intense images arouse curiosity about the explosive narrative that will shake 'Judge Lee Han-young.'
In the drama, Yoo Se-hee and Yoo Seon-cheol of Haenal Law Firm, who become Shin-jin's puppets and frequently engage in trial transactions, as well as Jang Tae-sik of S Group, who commits evil deeds backed by Shin-jin, and Kwak Soon-won, who follows whatever Shin-jin says, seem even to protect Shin-jin standing in the center. Curiosity wells up over how they will obstruct Han-young's group's pursuit of justice.
In this way, 'Judge Lee Han-young' cements the core relationships of the drama with two posters that reflect each group's distinct personality, attracting the interest of many prospective viewers. Viewers look forward to the broadcast to see what waves the power struggle between the two forces will bring to the plot and how it will connect to the work's themes.
