Aired on Tuesday, the final chapter of tvN’s Monday–Tuesday series written by Ban Gi Ri and directed by Shin Kyung Soo marked the conclusion of Chairman Shin’s journey, portrayed by Han Seok Kyu, a former master negotiator who now runs a humble chicken shop while confronting moral dilemmas between justice and compromise.
The series wrapped up on a high note, achieving 8.6 percent nationwide ratings and peaking at 9.9 percent, dominating its time slot across all networks. Kim took on the dual role of a judicial intern under Jo Philip, played by Bae Hyun Seong, and a parachute recruit at Chairman Shin’s shop. His polished look and composed delivery immediately sparked speculation about a potential second season.
In one notable exchange, when asked what defines a good judge, his character replied that before being a good judge, one should first strive to be a good person—a moment that resonated with viewers. The finale ended with Han Seok Kyu’s witty line about yet another parachute recruit, closing the episode with humor and warmth. After the broadcast, Kim expressed his gratitude through his agency, saying it was an honor to act alongside Han Seok Kyu and to take part in such a meaningful finale.
