What’s even better than a thriller drama? A thriller drama set in the legal backdrop. And that is exactly what ‘Innocent Defendant‘ is all about. One of the highly rated Korean dramas out there, the drama is a must-watch for all Korean drama enthusiasts and thriller fans alike.
Li Sung plays Park Jung-woo who wins every criminal case in the day as a prosecutor, and he’s a trophy husband and father to his family at night. Jung Woo’s life is perfect, but a murder that takes place in his home on the night of his daughter’s 6th birthday changes it all for him. He wakes up in a prison cell, knowing nothing about what happened that night, but he happens to find himself with four fellow prison mates who help him to find justice for his family.
Fighting one trial at a time, while suffering the effects of short-term amnesia, Jung Woo makes his way to Min Ho, a rich businessman who happens to have some issues with him.
