It's exciting to see the confirmed cast for "National Death Penalty Vote," and Park Hae Jin, Park Sung Woong, and Lim Ji Yeon seem like great choices for their respective roles. I'm especially interested to see Park Sung Woong's portrayal of Kwon Suk Joo, a former legal expert turned inmate seeking justice for his daughter's assault, as well as Lim Ji Yeon's transformation as Joo Hyun, a once highly regarded Cyber Investigation Team ace who is now considered a nuisance. Looking forward to the drama's release on SBS!
