But he is already the eighth in a row.
Competition in the Korean television market is fiercer than ever.
Various channels such as tvN, SBS, KBS and others are constantly releasing new content and recruiting the most sought-after actors and popular idols.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to touch the hearts of the audience, but the drama ‘Your Honor’ is successful.
According to Nielsen Korea, the series, with an average nationwide rating of 4.3%, beat its competitor “I Don’t Want to Lose” and set a personal best.
Interestingly, the creators did not take the original script, but adapted the 2017 Israeli project of the same name, which has had seven remakes from other countries in recent years.
The synopsis is simple and short: a judge with an impeccable reputation goes above and beyond his principles to protect his son from the blood feud of the head of a criminal organization.
In 2020, the American version with the star of the show “Breaking Bad” Bryan Cranston was released, and a year later Oleg Menshikov tried on the image of an incorruptible servant of the law.
What made the Korean remake stand out from their background?
First, the writers shift the focus from the judge to his son and their sworn enemy, thus increasing the intensity of the drama, engaging the audience in the cycle of events from the very first episode.
Secondly, the project, as one of the domestic reviewers put it, follows the traditions of crime stories in the spirit of ‘Crime and Punishment’ – not only action and thriller, but also important reflections on humanism.
And thirdly, the expressive acting style of Asian actors is more captivating to many than the surgically precise portrayals of their Western colleagues.
