The Judge Returns has only two episodes left before drawing the curtain on its grand finale.
In last week's broadcast of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama The Judge Returns (planning Namgung Seong-woo, Chang Jae-hoon / screenplay Kim Gwang-min / directed by Lee Jae-jin, Park Mi-yeon / produced by OH Story, Slingshot Studio) episodes 11 and 12, Lee Han-young (Jisung) rocked the great evil by targeting Seonjin Happiness Foundation, the slush fund reservoir of former president Park Gwang-to (Son Byung-ho), the head of the shadow government. In response, Kang Shin-jin (Park Hee-soon), who dreams of becoming the new owner of Suojae, hid a fishy smile inwardly, heightening the tension.
With only two episodes left until the final episode of The Judge Returns, the episode 12 ending, in which Lee Han-young attends Park Gwang-to's return party at Suojae and smiles saying "Congratulations on your safe return, Your Excellency," shocked viewers. We summarized the three final viewing points on what kind of ending Lee Han-young's path, who has been racing breathlessly to judge the great evil, will meet.
Under the creeping claws of suspicion, will Lee Han-young's final punishment of the great evil succeed? Lee Han-young, who entered Suojae, is hiding his goal of eradicating the great evil and acting as their "insider." However, Park Gwang-to (Son Byung-ho), the owner of Suojae, remains wary of Han-young after receiving a warning from Hwang Nam-yong (Kim Myungsoo), who had earlier been forced to give up his Supreme Court seat because of Lee Han-young and Kang Shin-jin. Kang Shin-jin, who brought Lee Han-young into Suojae, also beckoned him on, saying, "I didn't bring you because I trust you; I brought you to make you trust me." Attention is focused on whether Lee Han-young, who faces both the temptations of the great evil and suspicion, can realize his sense of justice among the power holders targeting him. In this regard, Won Jin-a said, "Since the story began with revenge, I hope you will watch closely to see how it finally concludes when it confronts the great evil," urging viewers to tune in to the broadcast.
A life-or-death crisis has fallen on the Pan-Avengers; can they remain safe until the end? The closer Lee Han-young gets to power, the more danger looms for his reliable aides Kim Jin-a (Won Jin-a), Seok Jeong-ho (Tae Won Seok), Song Na-yeon (Baek Jin-hee) and Park Cheol-woo (Hwang Hee). Kim Jin-a and Park Cheol-woo were each threatened with death by Jang Tae-sik (Kim Beom-rae) and Kang Shin-jin (Park Hee-soon), respectively, and Song Na-yeon also faced the ordeal of her exposé on Seonjin Happiness Foundation's corruption being blocked by desk pressure. In response, Tae Won Seok said, "Please look forward to whether the Pan-Avengers will fight against the threat of a gigantic evil cartel or whether the Pan-Avengers' justice will prevail." Baek Jin-hee also said, "By pooling their heads from their respective positions to confront the great evil and realizing the justice everyone wants within The Judge Returns, I think viewers will feel a satisfying vicarious thrill," adding, "The remaining second half will be even more tense, so please watch closely until the end," raising expectations.
What will the many choices of the reborn Lee Han-young bring about? the completion of a new "human Lee Han-young" Putting his past as a corrupt judge behind him, Lee Han-young, reborn as a quirky, justice-driven judge, is central to whether he can succeed in perfect legal punishment and save himself from the mistakes he committed before returning. Beyond personal revenge against Kang Shin-jin, who killed him in his previous life, he strives to set upright the ultimate value of justice, and it is intriguing whether he can wear a relieved smile after finishing all fights. Attention is focused on the "human Lee Han-young," who is being completed through new moments of choice and new decisions in his second life.
Thus, The Judge Returns is preparing to leave a deep impression by promising developments that keep viewers on edge until the end. Viewers can find out in this week's broadcast who ultimately survives the final war with the great evil and whether the restoration of justice is realized.
