Go Soo has been loved by viewers for his work in both romance and genre films. It will be interesting to see how he will create the character of Lee Hanshin with his unique atmosphere along with the acting skills he has accumulated over the past 25 years since his debut in 1998.

'Parole Officer Lee Hanshin' will be directed by Yoon Sang-ho, the director of 'The River Where the Moon Rises,' 'Lovers of Jinx,' and 'Curtain Call'. His unique directorial skills in the human genre, such as healing, are expected to shine once again in 'Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin'.

At the time, "Parole Officer Lee Hanshin" received the highest rating in terms of film potential due to the freshness of the new theme of a parole officer, the charm of the main character, and the engaging script with an exciting way of solving the case.

Previously, KT StudioGenie has been accelerating its content planning and production after ENA's 'Strange Lawyer Woo Young-woo' created an all-time phenomenon. In the first half of this year alone, the company has made a remarkable progress by presenting works of various materials and genres such as 'Paper Moon', 'House with a Yard', and 'Nam Nam'.
