What to Expect in Juvenile Justice Season 2

In Juvenile Justice, Judge Shim is known for her tough punishment for young offenders and is also vocal about how she hates these juvenile criminals.

Apart from Kim Hye Soo, the Netflix original also casts Lee Sung Min as head judge Kang Won Joong, who was later on replaced by the fearless Na Geun Hee, played by Lee Jung Eun.

Joining the trio as the lead star is Kim Mu Yeol as Shin Eun Seok’s subordinate judge Cha Tae Ju who unlike his senior, sympathizes with and understands the juvenile offenders.

While the first season of Juvenile Justice gained positive responses for its realistic portrayal of the story, especially with the cases of the problematic teens, it is safe to say that this will be also carried out in the upcoming sequel.

Moreover, it is safe to say that viewers will get to see familiar faces that might include Baek Sung Woo, played by Lee Yeon.

It comes after the character was featured in the last episode of the season, hinting that it might reveal more of her present situation.

Interestingly, the newcomer gained attention for her portrayal of teenage boy Baek Sung Woo; however, Lee Yeon is in her late 20s in real life.

The actress is 28 years old but was able to flawlessly portray her role as a middle school boy.
