Double-born Judge" follows Judge Lee Han Young (Ji Sung) - who once lived as a slave for his father-in-law's law firm and unintentionally goes back 10 years. Given a second chance, he seeks justice by punishing evil people.
The film has currently aired 6 episodes with positive results, recording 10% and 11% in the last 2 episodes. This achievement completely overwhelms "From Today I am a Human" - a film aired in the same time slot, starring Kim Hye Yoon.
According to the film's developments, Han Young is increasingly proving his ability. Not only is he favored by Chief Justice Baek Yi Seok (Kim Tae Woo) to handle difficult cases, he also attracts the attention of Judge Kang Shin Jin (Park Hee Soon) and CEO Yoo Sun Chul (Ahn Nae Sang) - his ex-husband's father.
Currently, the case of a road collapse causing a serious accident, the defendant being Nammyeongu construction company that Han Young is handling, has also attracted public attention.
Throughout the episodes that have been shown, "The Matchmaker" scored points thanks to its interesting storytelling, although taking legal topics but not too dry. On screen, Ji Sung's acting is the highlight. At the age of 49, the male actor still maintains his appearance and diverse acting style.
In particular, his harmonious reaction to his co-star Oh Se Young - the role of Yoo Se Hee's ex-wife - made viewers excited. The majority assessed that although there was not much acting space, Oh Se Young still made an impression, even overwhelming 2 other female co-stars: Won Jin Ah - the role of prosecutor Kim Jin Ah, Baek Jin Hee - the role of reporter Song Na Yeon.
Previously, sharing about the film, Ji Sung emphasized that this is not simply a story criticizing a specific case or issue, but a deep reflection on "the meaning of a person making the right choice". He himself, when acting in Han Young, wanted to portray conflict and human self-awareness.
For the actor, "The Matchmaker" is a film that shows how strong justice can shine in the dark and chaos. He hopes the work will bring viewers moments of relaxation and refreshment.
