Ji-sung fell from judge to sinner, marking the strong start of the play.

On the 2nd, in the first episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Judge Lee Han-young" (planned by Jang Jae-hoon/script by Kim Kwang-min/directed by Lee Jae-jin, Park Mi-yeon/produced Oeichi Story, Slingshot Studio), Lee Han-young (Jisung), who had been making unfair rulings following the order of the Haenal Law Firm, suddenly stood in the defendant's seat. On this day, the viewer rating was 4.3% based on Nielsen Korea's national households and 4.1% based on households in the metropolitan area. In particular, the scene where Lee Han-young, wearing a prison uniform and sitting in the defendant's seat, cried, "No, no," drew attention, soaring to 6.9% of the instantaneous viewership rate of Nielsen Korea's national households. In addition, the 2054 viewership rating, a key channel competitiveness indicator that reflects changes in the media consumption environment, announced a smooth start at 1.6%.

Yesterday's broadcast opened with Lee Han-young's cool-headed moment, dubbed "Judge Moom." His cold-hearted attitude of dismissing the claims of victims of Gojin Chemical Industrial Accident under the instruction of a law firm led to a tragedy that led Han Na-young (Im Yu-li), who became a leukemia patient, to commit suicide.

Since then, Lee Han-young has visited her mother's house for the birthday of her mother Shin Nam-sook (Hwang Young-hee), but was completely turned away. Na-young, who died due to Han-young's biased judgment, was a neighbor living below Nam-suk. Han Young found out that Nam-sook, who was heading to Na-young's mortuary, left an asthma inhaler and followed her quickly, but she headed to him after receiving a call from Yoo Seon-cheol (information), the head of the Haenal Law Firm and his father-in-law. In the meantime, Sun-cheol conspired to put the slush funds and public funds embezzlement of S Group Jang Tae-sik (Kim Beop-rae) on S Construction CEO Choi Jong-hak (Kim Song-il) under the direction of Chief Justice Kang Shin-jin (Park Hee-soon). While Han-young was shaken by the twists and turns of darkness, her mother Nam-sook, who was left alone, eventually died.

Meanwhile, Kim Jin-ah (Won Jin-ah), a prosecutor at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, was struggling to catch Jang Tae-sik (Kim Beop-rae), the chairman of S Group, when he noticed that the situation was twisted by the news that Han Young, a senior judge, was coming to the Criminal Agreement Department. In response, Jin-ah visited a nursing hospital where Han-young's father, Lee Bong-seok (Jeong Jae-sung), stayed and confronted Han-young, and threatened him not to disrupt the S Group trial. Han Young and Jin-ah, who reunited at the Seoul Central District Court, continued a tense war of nerves. In the process, Jin-ah's words, "As soon as I was appointed as a prosecutor, I chased Jang Tae-sik first," aroused curiosity about the story behind her.

Meanwhile, Han Young turned the tables with an unexpected counterattack. Feeling skeptical of his actions, he suddenly submitted his resignation letter and declared his divorce from his wife Yoo Se-hee (Oh Se-young), saying, "That's all for me and the Haeneal law firm's transaction." On top of that, he rebelled against the powerful, seeking 10 years in prison and a fine of 24 billion won in the Jang Tae-sik case. However, the scene of Han Young being tried in the defendant's seat a month later was the ending, exploding expectations for future developments.

In this way, "Judge Lee Han-young" predicted a stormy development by rapidly portraying the fall of Lee Han-young, a deep-rooted judge who only thought about himself. The overwhelming acting synergy of famous actors Ji Sung, Park Hee-soon, and Won Jin-ah and the exciting development through the play's control of the level of performance captivated viewers at once and made them wait for the second episode.
