Description:

"The Empire" exposes the intricate and often scandalous lives of Korea's most powerful judicial and administrative figures. These "nobles of the robe" are depicted in their ruthless pursuit of hereditary succession, aiming to cement their families' influence and wealth for generations. Leading the charge within this corrupt system is Han Hye Ryul, the formidable Chief of the Special Division at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office. She comes from a distinguished line of judicial workers, a family that has wielded significant power and wealth for three generations. Driven by insatiable ambition, Han Hye Ryul is far from satisfied with her current high-ranking position. Her ultimate aspiration is to climb even higher, targeting the role of Prosecutor General or beyond, as she navigates the cutthroat world of power, corruption, and societal expectations to reign supreme in "The Empire."
