Park Jung-woo is a prosecutor at Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. One day, he wakes up and finds himself a convict on death row. Suffering from temporary amnesia, Jung-woo has no idea what transpired to land him in prison. He struggles to recover his memory and clear his name.
For someone who is into mystery and thrillers when it comes to books, I have never come across a drama as exciting as Innocent Defendant. Adrenaline pumps through my blood whenever I am watching it. The show simply surpassed all my expectations beautifully with well-executed takes.
Ji Sung puts in a stellar performance as the male lead, who lost his memories while fighting to get his charges off. Every action and gesture is executed perfectly, from his original sunny deposition who used to have everything to the haggard guy with a steel focus to bring the killer to justice.
Battling his wits against the evil lead, Um Ki Joon, ( who also portrays as 2 leads with convincing evil-ness that you can't wait to banish him to the end of the world ) Innocent Defendant is a gripping thriller which puts me at the edge of my seat with a nail-bitting syndrome as I secretly root behind Ji Sung in front of the television screen.
Every episode brings one more clue and one more step nearer to the truth.Who to believe? What is the truth? A good show makes one look forward to the next episode and this is what Innocent Defendant does best.
Also loves Shin Rin Ah as Ji Sung's daughter who looks so sweet with her innocent smile ( simply melts my heart ), although at times I do find it amusing as to why she don't really ask questions when Kim Ming Seok as Lee Sung Gyu moves and changes house so frequently, while bringing her around.
The friendly banter between the prison cell mates is yet another fun factor that was brought in to lighten the whole story.
Innocent Defendant is a drama which will stays in my heart like a lover. Hoping Jo Young Kwang and Choi Su Jin will team up again for yet another drama with the same level of anticipation. A must-watch, don't miss it!
