Actor Park Geon Il left viewers on the edge of their seats.
On the 16th, the MBC Friday-Saturday drama The Judge Returns depicted the story of Kwak Sun-won (played by Park Geon Il) confronting Lee Han-young (played by Jisung). Earlier, Kwak Sun-won had searched for the ledger at the direction of Kang Shin-jin (played by Park Hee-soon) but ultimately missed it.
Meanwhile, Kwak Sun-won confirmed that Lee Han-young had the ledger in his hands and moved immediately. To take the ledger, he blocked Lee Han-young, who was about to get into a car, and a tense standoff unfolded with the bag containing the ledger between them.
Moreover, Kwak Sun-won was puzzled by Lee Han-young's reaction, which suggested he might know him. But in a split-second, when Lee Han-young lunged, Kwak Sun-won drew a knife to grab him, sending a chill through everyone present.
Meanwhile, Kwak Sun-won appeared before hospital director Lee Chang-hyo (played by Choi Hong-il), who was unconscious on the rooftop, surprising viewers. Above all, his ruthless act of pushing Lee Chang-hyo off the building rooftop along with a suicide note raised the show's tension.
In this way, Park Geon Il brought weight to the production with a performance that generated a hair-raising sense of tension. He portrayed Kwak Sun-won's characteristics—acting on Kang Shin-jin's orders—coolly and chillingly, manipulating the drama's atmosphere.
Thus, Park Geon Il captivated viewers, leaving a distinctive presence and a strong impression even in a short moment. Moreover, Kwak Sun-won's unquestioning loyalty to Kang Shin-jin piqued curiosity about his motives and made viewers anticipate future developments.
Meanwhile, the MBC Friday-Saturday drama The Judge Returns, featuring Park Geon Il, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
