A word of intelligence, which I thought was a judge of justice, froze the small screen and achieved a maximum viewership of 15.9% at a moment higher than in the last 11 episodes.

In the 12th episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Judge Lee Han-young" (played by Kim Kwang-min/directed by Lee Jae-jin and Park Mi-yeon), Lee Han-young (played by Ji Sung) collapsed Jang Tae-sik (played by Kim Beop-rae) and captured Park Kwang-to (played by Son Byeong-ho) along with the members of "PanBengers," but it surprised those who saw it as an unpredictable move to step into the den of evil again.

On this day, the viewership rate was 12.1% based on Nielsen Korea's metropolitan area households and 11.5% based on national households, proving the No. 1 class in Friday and Saturday dramas. In particular, the ending scene where Lee Han-young smiled and said, "Congratulations on your safe return" at a party celebrating Park Kwang-to's return to Suo-jae gave a thrill to the small screen, rising to 15.9% of the national household rating. In addition, the 2054 viewership rating, a key channel competitiveness indicator reflecting changes in the media consumption environment, ranked first among dramas at the same time with 4.2%, showing the background of the second half of the drama.

On this day's broadcast, Lee Han-young received a secret conciliatory request from Jang Yong-hyun (Kim Byung-ki) to ask Jang Tae-sik (Kim Beop-rae) to serve five years in prison. Lee Han-young, who avoided a definite answer, later visited Kang Shin-jin (Park Hee-soon) and asked about his intentions. In response, Kang Shin-jin said, "Show me the justice you said. They were the ones who would sweep everything away if I became the owner of Suo-jae anyway," he said, expressing the nuance to deal with Jang Tae-sik, and Lee Han-young announced a cider ruling, saying he would judge according to the law, raising the tension of the play to the fullest.

Among them, Kang Shin-jin contacted lawyer Byun (Kim Han-gyeol), who is being played by Jang Tae-sik, and urged him to make a decision. Lawyer Byun, whose trust was broken earlier under pressure from Jang Yong-hyun to cover up Jang Tae-sik's illegal loans, informed Kang Shin-jin of the existence of a borrowed account hidden by Jang Tae-sik and promised to hand over 20 billion won, half of the details, to Kang Shin-jin.

The pursuit of the 'Pan-Bengers' aimed at the great evil continued. Song Na-yeon (Baek Jin-hee) broke into the office of the Advanced Happiness Foundation and succeeded in copying the accounting books and handed them over to Park Chul-woo (Hwang Hee). However, Park's boss refused to investigate, and Song Na-yeon also failed to publish an article in the face of fierce opposition from the desk. In response, Lee Han-young waited for the time, saying, "I knew the media and the prosecution were moving, so the enemies would move." As expected, Kang Shin-jin found out that Park Chul-woo was holding the ledger and encouraged him to meet and hit the foundation. Lee Han-young saw Kang Shin-jin attempt to cut the tail using the chairman of the Advanced Happiness Foundation and began to grow the board. The meticulous brain fight between good and evil further doubled the fun of watching.

Lee Han-young, who launched a full-fledged offensive, recruited opposition sniper Kwak Sang-chul (Lee Jong-hyuk). Lee Han-young persuaded Kwak Sang-chul to expose the corruption with an unconventional card called "Fraudulent Accounting Books" and "Guarantee of Nomination Rights" to prove Park Kwang-to's crimes. At the same time, Song Na-yeon found a clue that the Sunjin Happiness Foundation created a borrowed-name account using the names of the missing and the dead, and Park Chul-woo also increased the pressure by securing CCTV of driver Park Kwang-to withdraw cash from the borrowed-name account. As a result, the Advanced Happiness Foundation was subject to seizure and search, and Park Kwang-to was turned into a suspect and driven to the edge of the cliff.

On the trial date of S Group's fate, Jang Tae-sik believed that lawyer Byun would take the lead on his behalf, but expectations were completely destroyed. Lawyer Byun betrayed Jang Tae-sik by releasing a transcript containing his corruption and instructions to kill Kim Jin-ah through the video. In the end, Jang Tae-sik collapsed disastrously, being sentenced to 170 billion won in additional fines and 20 years in prison. Jang Yong-hyun was also arrested on charges of tax evasion and bribery, and the scene where the axis of evil fell one after another made viewers enjoy it.

But at the end of the play, a huge twist came. While Kim Jin-ah and Park Chul-woo were demoted due to the leak of investigative data, Park Kwang-to, who was thought to have been arrested, enjoyed a luxurious party with Kang Shin-jin and political figures at Suojae. The shocking ending, in which Lee Han-young, who was present, smiled and said, "Congratulations on your safe return," raised expectations for next week's final episode to its peak.

The 13th episode of "Judge Lee Han-young" will be expanded to 10 minutes and broadcast at 9:40 p.m. on the 13th.
