3 Intriguing Relationships To Keep An Eye On In "The Judge Returns"

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

Netflix’s upcoming drama “The Art of Sarah” has unveiled new stills featuring its cast! “The Art of Sarah” tells the story of Sarah Kim (Shin Hae Sun), a woman determined to become a luxury icon even if she has to fake it, and Mu Gyeong (Lee Jun Hyuk), a man driven to uncover her ambitions. First, stills of Sarah Kim draw attention with their striking variety, making her appear like entirely different people despite having the same face. One image shows her exuding confidence as the head of an Asian branch of a luxury brand, while another still shows her writing something by herself while shedding tears. The stills, showing the mysterious side of Sarah Kim—whose true identity and inner thoughts remain unknown—raise curiosity about her life, which is shrouded in secrecy. Meanwhile, a still of Mu Gyeong looking down into a sewer with a serious facial expression sparks curiosity about what truths might lie buried below. In a still of him standing at a microphone briefing on the case, his determination to uncover the truth is clear, while another still showing him surrounded by reporters conveys his confusion and frustration. More stills feature Sarah Kim’s close friend Jung Yeo Jin (Park Bo Kyung), former Boudoir employee Woo Hyo Eun (Jung Da Bin), chairwoman of Samwol Department Store Choi Chae Woo (Bae Jong Ok) and her personal secretary Kang Ji Hwon (Kim Jae Won), and loan company CEO Hong Sung Shin (Jung Jin Young). Questions arise about how they became connected to Sarah Kim and whether any of them ever saw her true self. “The Art of Sarah” is set to premiere on February 13.

4 Points To Look Forward To In The Second Half Of “No Tail To Tell”

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.
