He upheld both justice and love. Choi Young-Jun, who perfectly portrayed Gu Seon-gyu with weighty conviction and warm sincerity in "Honor: Their courtroom," tied the character's journey into a happy ending and shared his thoughts on the series finale.
On the 10th ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama "Honor: Their courtroom" (directed by Park Geon-ho, written by Park Ga-yeon, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by How Pictures, hereafter "Honor") ended after 12 episodes.
Gu Seon-gyu (Choi Young-Jun) made it impossible to look away as he moved between life-or-death battles and deeply emotional moments, from a fierce fight risking his life to the tender confirmation of feelings with his wife Hyun-jin (Lee Chung-ah).
Seon-gyu found Shin-jae (Jung Eun-Chae) collapsed and unconscious, but soon fell into Baek Tae-ju's (Yeonwoo) trap and was placed in danger. He was trapped in a space with the door double-locked where fire suppression gas was released, facing a critical moment in which he too could collapse. In the dire moment, he fought without hesitation, placing the only oxygen mask on Shin-jae and battling to the end, ultimately heightening tension as he stood on the brink of life and death from hypoxic shock.
After Hyun-jin's desperate wait, Seon-gyu regained consciousness, returned to the violent crimes unit and reclaimed his precious daily life. In particular, the images of Seon-gyu and Hyun-jin, who rediscovered their love for each other after crossing the brink of life and death, completed a heartwarming ending. Hyun-jin's confession begging him not to leave, and Seon-gyu's reply that nothing else matters as long as they can look at each other and smile every day combined into a warm happy ending that brought smiles to viewers.
Choi Young-Jun gave a dimensional portrayal of Gu Seon-gyu with powerful performances that ranged from a detective's cold determination to a husband's tender, steadfast love. While leading the drama's tension with the detective's sharpness and relentless pursuit of the truth behind an incident 20 years ago, he also conveyed complex feelings for his wife and inner conflict with delicate timing, adding realistic warmth to the character. At crucial moments, he gave viewers catharsis with a dependable presence his wife could trust and lean on. Choi Young-Jun deeply reached viewers' hearts by sensitively conveying the character's steadfast charm and sincere emotions.
Choi Young-Jun, who balanced his duty as a detective with sincere feeling for his loved ones, shared his final thoughts on the series through his agency Ace Factory. I also watched the drama "Honor: Their courtroom" with sweaty palms! Thank you to the viewers who loved "Honor". I was happy while filming, I was happy seeing the drama's completion, and I was happy that many people loved it. I will work hard to show you another good project. See you soon, he said, conveying his deep affection in his final remarks.
Meanwhile, Choi Young-Jun is meeting audiences through the play "Who will climb the north face - the French safe". The public's expectations and interest in actor Choi Young-Jun, who is continuing a wide-ranging acting career across media and the stage, are gathering.
