"Juvenile Justice" will cast a sharp look at juvenile crimes, which have reached dangerous levels, and the responsibilities of adults and society surrounding them, focusing on the issue of the youth law, in which criminal minors under the age of 14 are subject to protective measures, not punishment.

Kim Hye-soo plays the role of Shim Eun-seok, an intelligent, short tempered and elite judge. Her actions, which break down familiar customs after being appointed to the competent court with the highest juvenile crime rate, throws a heavy blow at the society that is jointly responsible for juvenile offenders, juvenile courts, and juvenile crimes. Expectations are high for Kim Hye-soo, who will be in court again as Shim Eun-seok, a juvenile court judge.

"Juvenile Justice" will vividly portray the daily lives and worries of juvenile court judges who look into the post-disposition and adaptation of juvenile offenders, unlike ordinary civil and criminal trials, through advice from actual juvenile court judges.

"Juvenile Justice" will be directed by Hong Jong-chan and written by Kim Min-seok-VI. It will be produced by Gil Pictures which gained popularity with the production of the drama "Stove League" and Gtist who produced "Hotel Del Luna".

"Juvenile Justice" is human court drama that takes place when a judge who hates juvenile offenders is newly appointed to the juvenile division of a district court. Starring Kim Hye-soo, it will be released worldwide through Netflix.
