3 Intriguing Relationships To Keep An Eye On In "The Judge Returns"
“The Judge Returns” has highlighted three key relationships between the drama’s characters that viewers should pay close attention to! MBC’s “The Judge Returns” is a drama starring Ji Sung as corrupt judge Lee Han Young, who lives as a slave to a powerful law firm before unexpectedly traveling back 10 years into the past. Given a second chance, he decides to seek justice by punishing great evils. Here are three standout relationships to pay attention to in “The Judge Returns”: The relationship between Lee Han Young and Yu Se Hee The relationship between protagonist Lee Han Young and his wife Yu Se Hee (Oh Se Young) takes a complete 180-degree turn following his time travel. Before the time travel, they were a strictly business couple whose mutual coldness led to a catastrophic end. However, their relationship changes dramatically after Han Young travels 10 years into the past. Han Young approaches Se Hee, the youngest daughter of the Haenal Law Firm family, in order to exact revenge. However, he also gives her a chance, hoping that like him, she will make a different choice. Se Hee begins to assist Han Young, seeking an independent life for herself rather than living merely as a puppet of her family’s firm. Viewers are focused on how the relationship between these two—who severed their past ill-fated ties to start anew—will unfold. The alliance between Kang Sin Jin and Park Gwang To The relationships surrounding the central villain Kang Sin Jin are also noteworthy. Kang Sin Jin builds a shadow government together with former president Park Gwang To (Son Byung Ho), mocking the national government. Their corrupt actions, driven by shared greed, inject heavy tension throughout the drama. However, in Episode 10, cracks appeared in their partnership when Kang Sin Jin obtained a USB drive containing information about Park Gwang To’s illegal political slush funds. It remains to be seen whether Lee Han Young—who has witnessed the dark reality of power after entering Sin Jin’s inner circle—can successfully achieve justice while navigating the alliance between Kang Shin Jin and Park Gwang To, along with the threat posed by numerous political and business figures. Kim Jin Ah’s deep grudge against Jang Tae Sik Kim Jin Ah (Won Jin Ah), who is aiding Lee Han Young in taking down evil, holds a deep grudge against Jang Tae Sik (Kim Bup Rae), CEO of S Shopping. Jin Ah seeks to punish Jang Tae Sik through the law for pushing her father to the brink of death, but she repeatedly fails in the face of his power. In order to stop her persistent attacks, Jang Tae Sik attempts to appease her, but her unwavering desire for revenge refuses to yield. Her efforts to fully expose Jang Tae Sik—who remains unrepentant and intoxicated by his own power—add tension to the drama. The next episode of “The Judge Returns” airs on February 6 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
Watch: Bae In Hyuk And His Baby Nephew Get Off To A Rocky Start In "Our Universe" Preview
tvN’s upcoming drama “Our Universe” has shared a sneak peek of tonight’s premiere! “Our Universe” is a romance drama about two in-laws who, despite harboring deep misunderstandings about one another, unexpectedly end up raising their nephew Woo Joo together. After moving in together, they embark on a journey of personal growth and blossoming romance. Bae In Hyuk will star as Sun Tae Hyung, a talented photography assistant who seems prickly on the outside, but is actually a big softie at heart. Roh Jeong Eui will play Woo Hyun Jin, Sun Tae Hyung’s cheerful in-law who is preparing to enter the workforce and dreams of an ordinary life. The new preview captures Sun Tae Hyung and Woo Joo’s uncomfortable first encounter, in which Tae Hyung visibly struggles with suddenly having a young nephew following him everywhere. After being horrified by some unhygienic behavior on Woo Joo’s part, Tae Hyung desperately runs away from the baby while pleading, “Don’t follow me. Go back to sleep, instead of getting in the way and bugging me again. When in the world is your aunt getting here?” When Woo Joo gleefully chases him anyway, Tae Hyung attempts to stop him in his tracks by exclaiming, “Stop! Wait!” After failing, he picks up his nephew and wonders aloud, “Wow, why are you so heavy? Is this weight all poop?” He then worries, “But did you eat today?” The preview ends with Tae Hyung hearing an ominous sound and saying in horror, “Hey. Hey, stop. This isn’t what I think it is, right?” [1화 선공개] 하루아침에 나만 졸졸 따라다니는귀여운(?) 조카👶🏻가 생겼다!?초보 삼촌 태형과 우주의 어려운 첫 만남💦사돈 남녀 공동 육아 프로젝트 <우주를 줄게>오늘 밤 10:40 첫 방송 | tvN#tvN #우주를줄게 #OurUniverse#배인혁 #노정의 #박서함#즐거움엔20tvN #스트리밍은TVING pic.twitter.com/6InGz0xffG— tvN drama (@CJnDrama) February 3, 2026
Ha Jung Woo, Im Soo Jung, And Kim Jun Han's New Drama "Mad Concrete Dreams" Confirms Premiere Date With Glimpse Of Script Reading
tvN’s upcoming drama “Mad Concrete Dreams” has shared a glimpse of its first script reading session! “Mad Concrete Dreams” is a thriller drama that follows a struggling landlord who becomes entangled in crime to protect his family and property. While he achieves the coveted status of a landlord, mounting debts lead him to participate in a staged kidnapping. However, the plan spirals out of control as the fake kidnapping turns dangerously real. The script reading brought together director Im Pil Sung, writer Oh Han Ki, and the cast, including Ha Jung Woo, Im Soo Jung, Kim Jun Han, Krystal, and Shim Eun Kyung. Ha Jung Woo plays Ki Soo Jong, the head of a household who puts everything on the line to buy a building using loans and ends up buried in debt. He vividly portrays Soo Jong’s desperate struggle to protect his family and property. Im Soo Jung plays his wife, Kim Sun, who stays calm during crises and turns situations in unexpected ways. Every page of the script sent chills through the cast, and the two actors’ tightly coordinated performances immediately dominated the set. Kim Jun Han and Krystal play a married couple close to Ki Soo Jong and Kim Sun, portraying their involvement in unexpected events with gripping tension. Kim Jun Han, as Soo Jong’s close friend Min Hwal Seong, delivered a memorable performance that highlights his character’s drive to succeed. Krystal plays Jeon Yi Kyung, the daughter of a powerful real estate investor, portraying a character who seems outwardly secure but carries inner emptiness, hinting at a new side of the actress. Shim Eun Kyung plays Yo Na, a mysterious operative at Real Capital, delivering a commanding performance. Ha Jung Woo, returning to the small screen for the first time in 19 years, said, “It’s been such a long time since I last did a drama. I want to create a truly fun project.” Im Soo Jung is also making her small-screen comeback after five years. She shared her excitement, saying, “Through this project, I think I’ll be able to show a different side of myself as I take on the challenge of this new character.” “Mad Concrete Dreams” is set to premiere on March 14 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
4 Points To Look Forward To In The Second Half Of “No Tail To Tell”
“No Tail to Tell” has revealed key points to anticipate as it heads into its second half! SBS’s “No Tail to Tell” is a new fantasy romance drama starring Kim Hye Yoon as Eun Ho, a quirky Gen Z gumiho (magical nine-tailed fox) who is determined not to become human, and Lomon as Kang Si Yeol, an overly confident world-class soccer player. The drama will follow their chaotic journey as the two attempt to save one another. Spoilers Here are the key points viewers should pay attention to in the drama’s second half: The complex relationship between Kang Si Yeol and Eun Ho Kang Si Yeol and Eun Ho met purely by coincidence. First, Eun Ho bumped into Kang Si Yeol while shopping. Next, she was struck on the head by his soccer ball. Since neither encounter left a good impression, Eun Ho went so far as to deliver what sounded like either a curse or a grim prophecy, telling Kang Si Yeol that she saw no successful future for him—marking the beginning of their “hate relationship.” However, at that very moment, Eun Ho’s VIP client Lee Yoon (played by Choi Seung Yoon) hit Kang Si Yeol’s friend Hyun Woo Seok (Jang Dong Joo) with a car while driving drunk and fled the scene, further entangling their fates. The intertwined fates of Kang Si Yeol and Hyun Woo Seok Contrary to Eun Ho’s earlier prediction, Kang Si Yeol went on to become a world-class soccer player. Nine years later, when the two reunited, Kang Si Yeol failed to recognize Eun Ho, while she immediately switched into sales mode, determined to secure him as a VIP client. Instead of making a wish for himself, Kang Si Yeol chose to wish on behalf of Hyun Woo Seok. At the time, he had no idea how terrifying the price of a wish—something Eun Ho had warned him about—could be. In the end, Hyun Woo Seok became a successful soccer player as he wished, while Kang Si Yeol’s fate was swapped with his. As a result, Eun Ho and Kang Si Yeol became bound in a mysterious power dynamic centered around the wish. Viewers should keep an eye on whether Si Yeol and Woo Seok’s fates can be reversed. Collaboration with a mysterious eight-tailed fox Eun Ho was able to gain the upper hand because reversing fate required the mystical powers of a gumiho. However, when the shaman Jang Do Cheol (Kim Tae Woo) threatened them, Eun Ho saved Kang Si Yeol’s life—and paid a heavy price for her good deed. That price was transforming from a gumiho into a human. As Eun Ho became human and lost her supernatural powers, she and Kang Si Yeol became partners who share the same fate, both unable to return to their original fates. In an effort to change their destiny, Kang Si Yeol set out to find another gumiho who could take Eun Ho’s place. During his search, he encountered a mysterious eight-tailed fox (played by Lee Si Woo), signaling a major turning point in the story. Anticipation is high for the collaboration between Eun Ho, Kang Si Yeol, and the eight-tailed fox as they face interference from Hyun Woo Seok, Jang Do Cheol, and Lee Yoon. The heart-fluttering changes in Eun Ho and Si Yeol’s relationship The arrival of the eight-tailed fox—who longed to become human—posed a new question for both Eun Ho and Kang Si Yeol. Eun Ho didn’t want the eight-tailed fox, who resembled her friend Geum Ho in every way, to become human, while Kang Si Yeol hoped that the eight-tailed fox, his last glimmer of hope, would succeed as a gumiho and become human. Despite their opposing views, the two accompanied the eight-tailed fox on her dream outing to an amusement park—a place she had always wanted to visit in the human world. Kang Si Yeol told Eun Ho that the day would remain in his memory for a long time and expressed his gratitude to her, now his only remaining family and friend, for staying by his side. His calm words, “You worry about me. I’ll worry about you,” along with the tears of relief Eun Ho shed when she saw him return safely from a fire scene, hinted that their relationship might soon take a romantic turn. The next episode of “No Tail to Tell” will air on February 6 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

3 Turning Points In Episodes 9-10 Of "The Judge Returns"
The intrigue and plotting keep unraveling in “The Judge Returns”! Although the momentum from the first half of the show seems to be slowing down, there’s still so much going on that you hardly notice it. And while the push and pull game between Lee Han Young (Ji Sung) and Kang Sin Jin (Park Hee Soon) can be a little tedious at times, in these couple of episodes, we get to see the hero definitely moving one step closer to taking his adversary down. Here are some of the turning points that could lead Lee Han Young to his victory! Warning: spoilers from episodes 9-10 ahead! 1. Kim Jin Ah teaming up with Lee Han Young No hero can succeed without a bit of help. In Lee Han Young’s case, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get this far without his best friend, Seok Jeong Ho (Tae Won Seok), by his side. But as things escalate, Han Young is forced to seek more people who will trust him and help him no matter how crazy things turn. But now, it’s Kim Jin Ah’s (Won Jin Ah) turn to reach out to him, as she is convinced that only a judge as fearless and daring as Lee Han Young, who is even willing to put his life on the line, can make a difference in the current judiciary system. After she joins this team, even Park Cheol Woo (Hwang Hee) pitches in, albeit a little reluctantly. In a team effort, they are able to trick one of Kang Sin Jin’s aides to make him invest some of their dirty money and steal a large sum right under their noses. At some point, they even seem more like a money heist group than actual prosecutors and a judge. And it is so satisfying to watch. Even if there’s no romantic chemistry like it happens in some other legal dramas, their chemistry as a group is more than enough. Of course, this is barely a minor setback for Kang Sin Jin, who doesn’t hold back from retaliating against his subordinate, but this little scheme does prepare the field for Han Young’s next move. 2. Lee Han Young getting justice for his father From the first moment that Han Young realized he had gone back in time, he had a very clear purpose: to get revenge on all the people who wronged him. And now it’s time for Hwang Nam Yong (cameo made by Kim Myung Soo), the presiding judge who wrongfully imprisoned his father, to pay. Despite Kang Sin Jin’s desire to position Hwang Nam Yong as the Chief Judge in the Supreme Court of Korea, Han Young has no plans to let that happen. This moment feels especially intense because both Kang Sin Jin and Han Young are head-to-head fighting to see who can outsmart the other, and somehow, Han Young knows he is being used as a part of another game. Nonetheless, Han Young stops Hwang Nam Yong from becoming Chief Judge and even confronts him about his past misdeeds. Revealing the man’s past connection to S Construction and having his son’s corruption case as leverage, Han Young is finally able to avenge his father and the pain their family went through. This moment becomes even more emotional when Han Young faces his father and apologizes for the first time since he was a teenager, giving closure to that shameful scene in his life. 3. Discovering Kang Sin Jin’s connections As Han Young continues to dig further into Kang Sin Jin, he finally gets a lead about the person who is backing him up. It’s the former president Park Gwang To (Son Byung Ho). But even though Kang Sin Jin appears to be merely a puppet under the man’s control, he is preparing to finally set himself free from his master. That’s one of the most interesting things about this villain. He, much like Han Young, has tried to overcome his poor circumstances and survive in a rotten system. However, he’s done it by defiling himself as well, something Han Young refuses to do anymore. Surprisingly enough, Han Young earns Kang Sin Jin’s trust enough to allow the judge into the president’s inner circle, but not without risk. At this moment, Han Young enters the wolf’s den, and he has to do it all on his own. The last scene, where they show how these men gather to play a game of power over the whole country, is actually revolting, but it also highlights the dramatism of the situation and how important it is for Han Young to succeed. But will he be able to actually defeat these power-hungry parasites? Let’s find out in the next episodes of “The Judge Returns”!
