The Judge Returns
Trailer unavailableThe Judge Returns is a 2026 crime fantasy drama series about a second chance. Lee Han-young is a corrupt judge who has spent his career as a slave to a large law firm. He is returned to the past, 10 years earlier, and this time he makes new choices, using the bench to punish evil and deliver the justice he once sold off.
Ji Sung plays Lee Han-young. Won Jin-ah is Kim Jin-ah, Park Hee-soon plays Kang Shin-jin and Baek Jin-hee appears as Song Na-yeon. Lee Jae-jin directs, following earlier series including Motel California and The Spies Who Loved Me. The series comes from Корея Южная, and because the time-jump premise is set up at the start, it is best watched from the first episode.
Viewers have rated it well so far: 7.9 on Kinopoisk and 7.7 on IMDb, though the IMDb figure rests on only 164 votes.
