"Juvenile Justice" revolves around a newly appointed judge for a juvenile court who despises juvenile offenders. As she handles various criminal cases, however, her perspective starts to change.
"Upon reading the script, I was surprised that such a gripping story could be written. I think viewers will be able to ponder what attitudes society holds toward juvenile offenders," actress Kim said.
The stories told in the upcoming drama are unfailingly relevant, according to director Hong Jong-chan, whose works include tvN's "Dear My Friends" (2016) and JTBC's "Life" (2018).
Screenwriter Kim Min-seok revealed he interviewed about 50 to 60 related officials who work in district courts, family courts, juvenile detention centers and correctional facilities to write the script.
The cast also includes Kim Mu-yeol, Lee Sung-min and Lee Jung-eun. "I'm glad to be part of this amazing drama that snatches the zeitgeist," actress Lee said.
"Juvenile Justice" will be unveiled on Netflix on Feb. 25.
