A new legal drama, "Juvenile Justice," starring top actor Kim Hye-soo, will premiere on Netflix on Friday, after the 2020 SBS series "Hyena," in which she will make her acting debut.

"Before seeing 'Juvenile Justice,' I believed I had maintained a personal interest in juvenile crime. As a result of researching real-life cases and learning from juvenile court judges, as well as acting in the part of Sim Eun-seok, a judge who despises juvenile criminals, I discovered that my initial curiosity was simply the tip of the iceberg," Kim said at an online news conference on Tuesday.

"I discovered that my interest was more in the court's rulings from a place of regret, wrath, and emotional response to them. According to the actor, "the series presented me with a chance to reflect about the basic challenges facing society and to develop a more balanced perspective on young criminals."

The series, directed by Hong Jong-chan, who has previously worked on several successful drama series, including "Master's Sun" (2013), "Dear My Friends" (2016), and "Live up to your name, Dr. Heo" (2017), depicts the clash of different beliefs and viewpoints of four judges working at the juvenile court.

The fact that youthful criminals are not the only ones who carry responsibility is something I believe strongly. Our series strives to give balanced thoughts from a variety of diverse perspectives by exposing the numerous socioeconomic problems that are strongly tied to juvenile criminality."

Despite the fact that there have been several courtroom dramas in the past, playwright Kim Min-suk claims that this is the first time a courtroom drama has focused so strongly on the lives of judges, particularly those who work in the juvenile court.

"There have been a number of legal dramas in the past that have included intense discussions between prosecutors and defense attorneys. "And watching the judges, who appear to be sitting still like dolls, piqued my interest," Kim explained further.

It prompted him to do further investigation into juvenile court judges and cases. In the aftermath of attending a real trial, meeting 50-60 people who are intimately involved in the issues, and touring various facilities, including youth recovery centers, the writer began putting together the storyline, making every effort to maintain objectivity while dealing with the highly publicized issue of juvenile crimes.

The 10-part series will be available on Netflix on Friday, according to the company.
