Your Honor Adaptation Bows in Korea

The ten-part Korean adaptation of yes Studios’ Your Honor has premiered on the KT Genie TV platform and the ENA channel.

Produced by MONSTER Company (Han River Police, Long Live the King), the local iteration of the legal thriller tells the story of a respected senior judge whose son is involved in a hit-and-run accident, leading to difficult choices and terrible consequences as they attempt to keep the crime a secret. The series is led by Son Hyun-Joo (Captivating the King, The Good Detective) as the judge.

The cast also includes Kim Myung-Min (Law School, Miracle That We Met), Kim Do-Hoon (The Escape of the Seven, Moving), Heo Nam-Jun (Sweet Home, The Impossible Heir) and Jung Eun-Chae (Pachinko, Anna).

The Korean adaptation is written by Kim Jae-Hwan (Boyhood, Collectors), with Kim Yong-Gi (Han River Police, Long Live the King) as producer. The series’ directors are Pyo Min-Soo (Moon in the Day, The Third Charm) and Yoo Jong-Sun (Pale Moon, Designated Survivor: 60 Days).

The Your Honor format has achieved ten localized versions around the world. It originally launched on yes TV in 2017 as Kvodo and was created by Shlomo Mashiach and Ron Ninio.

“MONSTER Company has successfully produced a high-end, dramatic and thrilling series, so we are excited that this latest version of Your Honor is now launching and cannot wait to see how it is received by audiences in South Korea,” said Sharon Levi, managing director at yes Studios. “A parents’ unwavering need to protect their children is one of the most powerful universal themes there is, and when coupled with a storyline of this caliber, it is no surprise that Your Honor continues to appeal to international producers and broadcasters looking for a classy, proven drama to remake locally. This collaboration marks another step for us into the AsiaPac region, and we look forward to the strategic developments yet to come.”
