While the drama 'Your Honor' has achieved a reverse hit on Netflix two years after its conclusion, director Yoo Jong-seon, who directed the series, shared his overwhelming feelings.

Director Yoo Jong-seon, who helmed 'Your Honor,' posted on his SNS on the 26th, stating, "I don't think I've ever experienced a Top Ten as thrilling since Gayo Top 10," expressing his thoughts on the drama's rise in Netflix rankings.

'Your Honor' first aired on ENA on August 12, 2024, and concluded on September 10 of the same year. It was later released on Netflix on August 20, 2026, reaching the number one spot in the series rankings just six days after its release, on the 26th.

As of today, 'Your Honor' continues to maintain the number one position on Netflix's "Top 10 Series in South Korea Today," sustaining its late-blooming box office momentum.

Director Yoo Jong-seon remarked, "It's amazing. I don't think there's any greater honor a drama that aired two years ago could experience. I'm in tears." He expressed his deep emotion.

He continued, saying, "No one has asked me for my thoughts on this 'Honor' yet," but added, "I would like to express my gratitude first and foremost to actor Heo Nam-jun and the fans who made this reverse hit possible." He conveyed his thanks to Heo Nam-jun and the fans.

He further stated, "I extend my deepest gratitude once again to writer Kim Jae-hwan for his wonderful script, to the outstanding cast, to my excellent staff, and to everyone involved in the production process who negotiated, endured, and broke through numerous conflicts from their respective positions."

Finally, he said, "And to all those who watched, felt, and enjoyed the story, thank you (saranghamnida)," adding humorously, "My lips are tied from holding back tears," delivering a cheerful message of gratitude.

Meanwhile, 'Your Honor' is a drama depicting a judge attempting to cover up his son's murder clashing with a ruthless power figure hunting the son's murderer. It portrays a confrontation of paternal instincts between two fathers who chose to become monsters for their children, starring Son Hyun-joo, Kim Myung-min, Kim Do-hoon, Heo Nam-jun, and Jung Eun-chae.
