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, Park Mi-yeon/produced by OH Story, Slingshot Studio) set to premiere on January 2, 2026 (Friday), is a regression drama about Judge Lee Han-young, who lived as a slave of a large law firm and returns to 10 years ago to punish great evil with new choices.
Ji Sung plays Lee Han-young, who encounters an unfair situation after accepting bribed trials and then returns to his days as a single judge 10 years ago. Won Jin-a plays Seoul Central District Prosecutor Kim Jin-a, who is running to take revenge on the person who drove her father to death.
