Ji Sung Confronts His Past in Time-Travel Drama 'The Judge Returns': First Stills Revealed
First look at Ji Sung in the new K-drama “The Judge Returns.” See the stills showing his character's opposite lives before and after traveling back in time.
Actor Ji Sung is set to portray a man living two starkly different lives in the upcoming time-travel drama “The Judge Returns.” Based on a popular web novel, the series has unveiled its first character stills, offering a glimpse into the dramatic transformation of a corrupt judge given a second chance at life.
The drama follows Lee Han Young (played by Ji Sung), a judge who once operated as a pawn for a massive law firm. After an unexplained event sends him 10 years back in time, he gets an opportunity to rewrite his past. The newly released photos starkly contrast his two lives: one shows a hollow, subservient figure before his journey through time, while the other depicts a determined man on a mission for justice.
According to the production team, “The Judge Returns” will explore Lee Han Young's quest for redemption as he navigates his new reality. Given a second chance, he aims to dismantle the very system of corruption he once served. Fans are already anticipating Ji Sung's nuanced performance, a hallmark of his career.
