The MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Judge Lee Han-young," starring Ji-sung, drew attention by recording its highest ratings in episode 9, which aired on the 30th. That day's broadcast recorded a 14.7% viewership rating among households in the metropolitan area and 13.5% nationwide, according to Nielsen Korea. In particular, the ending scene where the prosecution task force raids the "Miracle Asia" office with the words "This is the prosecution" saw a momentary peak rating of 17%, attracting great interest from viewers.

"Judge Lee Han-young" ranked first among Friday programs with a 5.7% rating in the 20-54 age group, strengthening its dominance in the Friday-Saturday drama slot. The drama made history by ranking first among all Friday programs in metropolitan, 20-54, and nationwide household ratings.

In that day's episode, Lee Han-young visited Yoo Sun-cheol of Haenal Law Firm and proposed making Baek Yi-seok the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Lee confidently stated that Hwang Nam-yong would be excluded from the Supreme Court Chief Justice candidacy. He then asked Song Na-yeon to write an article about employment corruption involving Hwang Nam-yong's son. Lee Han-young actively urged Baek Yi-seok to become the next Chief Justice.

Kim Jin-ah expressed her intention to join by saying to Lee Han-young, "Will you let me in if I risk my life?" She discovered the connection between Jang Tae-sik of S Group and the judiciary, revealing a deep bond with Lee Han-young. When Lee Han-young's father was tried for a clash during the S Group redevelopment protest, Kim Jin-ah attended the trial as a family member of the victim's side. The past apology she made by visiting the scrap yard run by Lee Han-young's parents further complicated their relationship.

Together with Kim Jin-ah and Park Cheol-woo, Lee Han-young launched an operation by providing information about a fraudster to Lee Sung-dae, the financial manager of a major crime syndicate. After suffering losses from stock investments, Lee Sung-dae fell prey to the temptations of the fraudsters. Lee Han-young attracted investors to the fake company "Miracle Asia," leading Lee Sung-dae to invest 3 billion won.

While tailing Hwang Nam-yong, Song Na-yeon discovered a connection to former President Park Gwang-to and was shocked. Upon hearing this, Lee Han-young was horrified and realized that the forces of evil were spreading wider and deeper. This led Lee Han-young to resolve to step onto a bigger stage to achieve justice.

At the end of the broadcast, Lee Han-young faced a crisis as Kim Jin-ah's superior, Ma Kang-gil, attempted to search the headquarters of "Miracle Asia." After Lee Sung-dae's 3 billion won deposit, Seok Jeong-ho could not hide his unease as the situation remained unresolved. Although Kim Jin-ah tried to stop Ma Kang-gil from going to the headquarters, the sound of the door opening and Lee Han-young's shocked expression closed the episode, heightening anticipation for the next installment.

Episode 10 of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Judge Lee Han-young" will air on the 31st at 9:40 PM with an extended 10-minute broadcast.
