Ko Soo and Girls' Generation's Yuri's intense gaze was captured. tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Parole Officer Lee Han-shin' (directed by Yoon Sang-ho, written by Park Ji-hyun) released a poster on the 24th. Set to premiere in Korea on November 18, the drama depicts the thrilling defense battle of lawyer Lee Han-shin (Ko Soo), who becomes the final judge 'parole officer' to stop morally bankrupt criminals. The poster features the 'iron wall duo' of Ko Soo and Yuri, who are determined to prevent the release of criminals trying to use money, connections, and shallow knowledge to get out of prison. They play the roles of parole officer Lee Han-shin and ace detective Ahn So-yoon, respectively. In the poster, Lee Han-shin and Ahn So-yoon send intense gazes toward the prisoners behind iron bars, exuding charisma as they seem to see through the intentions of those thinking of escaping prison without fully atoning for their crimes. The phrase 'Your place is here, in prison' heightens curiosity about their efforts to prevent the release of these criminals and thoroughly punish them. Additionally, viewers are intrigued by how the lawyer and parole officer Lee Han-shin, who does not shy away from means and methods for justice, and detective Ahn So-yoon, who respects legal procedures, will collaborate. Despite their different methods, both share a common feeling for justice, and their 'iron wall defense battle' is highly anticipated. In this regard, the production team of 'Parole Officer Lee Han-shin' stated, 'The amusing actions of parole officer Lee Han-shin, who punishes evil in an outrageous way, and detective Ahn So-yoon, who embodies justice through proper procedures, are expected to provide viewers with exhilarating catharsis.' They also mentioned, 'Ko Soo and Yuri will transform into Lee Han-shin and Ahn So-yoon, delivering immersive performances, so please look forward to their passionate acting.'
