The MBC drama 'The Devil Judge' is building anticipation for its grand finale as it teases a pivotal reunion between stars Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-ki, three years after their initial encounter.

In the upcoming final episode, Woo So-jeong (Lee Bo-young), who has undergone a significant shift in her values after the Benponavital murder case, is now the director of Maria Welfare Hospital. Meanwhile, Ban Ji-hoon (Lee Min-ki), a former detective, reappears as a benefactor to the same institution, setting the scene for a charged reunion.

The narrative intensifies with the special appearance of veteran actress Kim Young-ok as a patient suffering immense pain, and acclaimed actress Kim Kook-hee as her daughter. The mother-daughter duo share a peculiar connection with Ban Ji-hoon, further deepening the mystery and emotional stakes for the series conclusion.

Last week's episode showed Woo So-jeong confessing her conflicting beliefs about assisted death to Father Yang and choosing to serve at the welfare hospital, declaring, 'It's okay if I'm not forgiven.' The preview for the finale hints at a complex conversation between Woo So-jeong and Ban Ji-hoon, raising questions about his motivations for supporting the hospital after his past investigation involving her.

Adding star power to the finale, Kim Young-ok, a beloved national actress with over six decades of experience, and Kim Kook-hee, known for her impactful performances, will make guest appearances. Their roles as patient Kim Sun-ju and her daughter Young-eun promise to deliver a poignant and memorable conclusion.

The addition of Kim Young-ok and Kim Kook-hee has brought an even more touching resonance. A story that will move viewers' hearts awaits until the very end, so please stay tuned.'
