Upcoming drama “Parole Examiner Lee” has shared new stills featuring Baek Ji Won!
“Parole Examiner Lee” follows lawyer Lee Han Shin (Go Soo), who becomes a parole officer responsible for making final decisions on inmate paroles. Lee Han Shin is determined to prevent inmates who show little remorse for their crimes from obtaining paroles through money, connections, or deceitful tactics.
In the previously released teaser video, it was hinted that Lee Han Shin is a character willing to throw away rules and decorum to fight for justice. One aspect that amplifies curiosity about his unpredictable plans is his collaboration with loan shark Choi Hwa Ran (Baek Ji Won). Viewers are eager to find out why a loan shark, whose job is unrelated to justice, would team up with Lee Han Shin.
The released stills depict Baek Ji Won as the legendary loan shark Choi Hwa Ran. She is renowned in the loan shark industry for her debt collection method called “ice collection,” which allows her to collect debt swiftly and without leaving any trace, much like ice that melts and vanishes. In the first still, she is captured holding ice while collecting a debt from a borrower. She exudes a powerful aura that suggests no one would dare to deceive her.
In the following stills, however, Choi Hwa Ran’s bright smile reveals another side of her character, highlighting her surprising choice to prioritize her connection with Lee Han Shin over her relentless pursuit of money. Although she appears to be a fearsome loan shark, she is also an ally to Lee Han Shin in his quest for justice.
Baek Ji Won described her character, saying, “Choi Hwa Ran is a big player in the loan shark industry who assists Lee Han Shin. She is a mysterious character who stands at the boundary between good and evil. The character’s overall vibe is very different from me, which makes her even more appealing.”
She continued, “Choi Hwa Ran is a powerful figure who loves money and is legendary in the loan shark industry. She believes it’s essential to leave others with the impression that she is strong and influential, so I put a lot of thought into her outfits to express this aspect of her character.”
“Parole Examiner Lee” is set to premiere on November 18 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
