He also specifically thanked actor Heo Nam Joon and his fans, suggesting that their support may have helped bring new attention to the series.
Yoo Jong Sun said, “First of all, I want to thank actor Heo Nam Joon and his fans, who may have helped create the opportunity for this comeback.”
He also expressed appreciation to writer Kim Jae Hwan, the cast, staff, production team, and viewers who supported the drama.
“Thank you again to the wonderful script, our incredible actors, my amazing staff, and everyone involved in the production,” he said before adding a lighthearted message of love to viewers.
Your Honor follows a judge who attempts to protect his son after a serious crime, placing him in conflict with a powerful man determined to uncover the truth. The series stars Son Hyun Joo, Kim Myung Min, Kim Do Hoon, Heo Nam Joon, and Jung Eun Chae.
