Actor Oh Se-young greeted viewers during the Lunar New Year holiday after successfully completing "Judge Lee Han-young."

Oh Se-young recently met with Star News and told the story of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Judge Lee Han-young" (played by Kim Kwang-min, director Lee Jae-jin, and Park Mi-yeon).

"Judge Lee Han-young" is a return-to-justice drama in which Lee Han-young, a deep-rooted judge who lived as a slave at a huge law firm and returned to 10 years ago, punishes major evil with a new choice. It is based on a work of the same name with 10.75 million views of the original web novel, 10.191 million views of the webtoon, and a total of 110 million views. Director Park Mi-yeon and writer Kim Kwang-min, as well as director Lee Jae-jin of "The Banker," "The Spy Who Loved Me," and "Motel California," joined forces.

Judge Lee Han-young, which opened MBC's Friday-Saturday drama in 2026, broke its own highest ratings in each episode and recorded a maximum viewership of 13.5% in the ninth episode on January 30. "Judge Lee Han-young" was broadcast in a heated response from viewers, maintaining the No. 1 spot in the Friday-Saturday drama as well as being evaluated as a "luxury genre" beyond a simple "court." The drama ended with 14 episodes on the 14th.

In the play, Ji Sung played the role of Lee Han-young, a "red-down judge" who claims to be a "humming judge" of a Haenal law firm because of his humble background and makes rulings that suit the taste of the law firm while pursuing the darkness of power. Park Hee-soon plays Kang Shin-jin, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, who shakes a Haenal law firm in his hand, and Won Jin-ah plays Kim Jin-ah, the prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, who is sharpening his sword for revenge against the man who drove his father to death.

Oh Se-young, who played Yoo Se-hee, the youngest daughter of a Haenal law firm with a colorful appearance and feisty and arrogant personality, expressed the cool-headed side of the character who organizes the ranks by power, not emotion, in her own color, and depicted the conflict between Ji-sung and Il-seon couple, who played husband Lee Han-young, maximizing the tension of the play from the beginning. With her understated acting skills, she realistically portrayed Yoo Se-hee's calculating side and imprinted her unrivaled presence.

Oh Se-young, who was born in 1996 and graduated from Chung-Ang University with a major in theater, debuted in the JTBC drama "Beauty Inside" in 2018. Since then, he has impressed viewers with his delicate performances through web dramas such as "Taste of the Cat," "Your Imagination Becomes a Reality," "Essential Love Culture," and "Cat Bartender," as well as SBS "VIP," "Alice," JTBC's "Thirteen, Nine," and tvN's "Blind." In tvN's "Lovely Runner," which created a global syndrome in 2024, he played Iljin Choi Ga-hyun, who likes Kim Tae-sung (Song Gun-hee), and performed charismatic performances. In the same year, Oh Se-young led the center of the play by playing her first role in the drama through MBC's daily drama "The Third Marriage." As a result, Oh Se-young received the honor of winning the Women's Outstanding Performance in Daily Drama and Single Act at the "2024 MBC Acting Awards" for her "third marriage."

-What are your plans for this year's Lunar New Year holiday?

▶I think the whole family will go to my grandmother's house. I think I'll go to the oxygen to say hello and see the family I haven't seen. Originally, I was born in Seoul and spent my school days in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, and when I came to university in Seoul (the Department of Theater at Chung-Ang University), my family moved to Seoul together.

-Do you have any memories related to Lunar New Year and holidays?

▶I tend to be close to my cousins. I have a lot of relatives and older brothers, but since I don't have a real sister, I follow a lot of relatives. We played Yutnori and chatted together. While making songpyeon, he said, "I'll have a pretty daughter."

-What is your personal favorite New Year's food.

▶I like meat pancakes. Rice cake soup is delicious and meat dishes are good.

-A New Year's greeting to the viewers.

▶The holiday holiday will come after our last broadcast, and I hope everyone has a safe and healthy and fun holiday. Thanks to those who watched our drama a lot, I was able to wait with excitement throughout the show. I was glad and proud that Se-hee, who I played, also showed affection. I'll show you a new side of me in the future, so I hope you look for it a lot.
