Meet Go Soo’s motley crew in teaser for Parole Examiner Lee

by Jenzy

The new teaser for tvN’s crime drama Parole Examiner Lee just dropped, giving us a rapid fire introduction to our eponymous parole officer Go Soo (Missing: The Other Side) and his team that keeps baddies off the streets.

We open on our darling parole officer Lee Han-shin (Go Soo) as he cracks a joke involving his line of work. (“What’s an inmate’s favorite kind of bread (bbang)?” “Parole (kaseokbbang).” *badum tss*) You might not be able to tell from his cheesy dad puns, but he takes his job very seriously. After all, he’s the one in charge of keeping undeserving prisoners from abusing the parole system.

But despite his one-man-army levels of determination, Han-shin’s investigative work couldn’t be done without the help of his unlikely partners: the ace detective Ahn Seo-yoon, played by Kwon Yuri (Good Job) and the notorious loan shark madam Choi Hwa-ran, played by Baek Ji-won (Goodbye Earth). While we’re left to wonder why someone toeing the shady side of the law would want to work with a detective and a parole officer, needless to say, Han-shin’s motley crew help make sure his twelve and six are covered.

And he’ll need to make sure he’s got backup, because sticking to your gut as a parole officer is a tough task, especially when bad actors, such as our second-generation chaebol Lee Hak-joo (LTNS), sit pretty knowing they can pull strings to get out of jail. But while Hak-joo’s character might fight dirty with gold bar bribes and literal goons, Han-shin isn’t about to let a criminal like him go without a fight: “People like you shouldn’t leave prison. You clearly have yet to pay for your sins.”

Written by Park Chi-hyung and directed by Yoon Sang-ho (Curtain Call, River Where the Moon Rises), tvN’s Parole Examiner Lee will premiere November 18 in the Monday-Tuesday slot.

Hmm I wish I could get more excited about Go Soo but he's just a pretty face in my book by now. This proves that just because someone is handsome and has big eyes doesn't mean they can act or have screen charisma.

But I can still watch this drama if the story is good, just like I was able to fully enjoy Missing: The Other Side despite Go Soo's lackluster performance as lead.
