Recently, new heroes have emerged in Korean dramas. These characters strive to prevent crime both within and outside the boundaries of the law, delivering a thrilling catharsis to viewers. tvN’s “Parole Examiner Lee” leads this trend, focusing on the story of the protagonist, Lee HanShin, who seeks to prevent criminals from being paroled without reform.
Lee HanShin, played by Go Soo, is a former prison guard who becomes a parole examiner after witnessing the unjust parole of criminals. Using his exceptional legal knowledge and extraordinary strategies, he blocks the parole of the corrupt tycoon Ji DongMan, portrayed by Song YoungChang, providing viewers with a satisfying thrill. The drama’s fast-paced plot and moral narrative have garnered a great response from the audience. Alongside Lee HanShin, the righteous police officer Ahn SeoYoon, played by Kwon YuRi, and the likable loan shark Choi HwaRan, played by Baek JiWon, enhance the drama’s immersion.
Meanwhile, Disney+’s “Gangnam B-Side” tells the story of individuals fighting crime organizations outside the system. The protagonist, Yoon GilHo, played by Ji ChangWook, operates in the dark alleys of Gangnam, using force to dismantle the crime organization “Gangnam Trade,” notorious for drugs and murder. Elite police officer Kang DongWoo, portrayed by Jo WooJin, confronts criminals in a wild manner after feeling the limitations of the system. This work, with its diverse action scenes and criticism of a corrupt social system, provides audiences with much to ponder.
“Parole Examiner Lee” and “Gangnam B-Side” are enjoying immense popularity on their respective platforms, presenting viewers with new faces of justice. Anticipation builds for how these dramas will unfold and whether new heroes will emerge.
