Actor Tae Won Seok delivered a surprise charm in The Judge Returns.
On the 4th episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama The Judge Returns (planned by Jang Jae-hoon, written by Kim Kwang-min, directed by Lee Jae-jin and Park Mi-yeon, produced by OH Story and Slingshot Studio), which aired on the 10th, Tae Won Seok played Seok Jung-ho, Jisung's (in the role of Lee Han-young) close friend and the CEO of Dajul Cash.
Seok Jung-ho appeared in the market with a very delinquent look alongside his subordinates. Yet market people showered him with praise even for that appearance, saying, "I need to see Jung-ho's back once. I wonder if he has wings," and "He grew up well, he really did." In fact, Jung-ho helped market people by lending them money when they were struggling, then settling debts with meals and purchases, and giving the purchased goods to those in need. Jung-ho also showed a warm side different from his appearance by wearing a mascot costume to promote the traditional market and handing out flyers.
Meanwhile, Jung-ho mobilized all his subordinates at Han-young's request for the ledger that the thieves had taken. Earlier, in episode 1, when Han-young said he needed a car, Jung-ho promptly sent a used car in good condition, showing he is a reliable supporter of Han-young.
In this way, Tae Won Seok realized the role of Seok Jung-ho, a character with a surprising charm who is more compassionate than he looks, based on his outstanding character interpretation. In particular, his overwhelming physique maximized Seok Jung-ho's unexpected charm and brought pleasant laughter to the living room. Moreover, his relationship with Jisung served as another viewing point of the drama, heightening viewers' excitement. Expectations are growing for Tae Won Seok's future activities in The Judge Returns.
Meanwhile, The Judge Returns, starring Tae Won Seok, Jisung, Park Hee-soon and Won Jin-a, is a drama that tells the story of corrupt judge Lee Han-young, who made biased rulings for his own gain, being framed and dying, then returning 10 years to the past, and it airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
