Shocked at How Much I Enjoyed This Drama

Do you ever enjoy something so much that you feel the need to share about it the moment you finish it? That's how I feel about this drama. Truth be told, the premise sounded really odd to me when I encountered it, and the fantasy / supernatural elements are not my cup of tea. However, I was in a rut about what to watch next and decided to give it a go. No regrets!!!

It's not really a drama for the faint-hearted, especially if you can't handle blood. I would often have it playing when my sister was around, and she commented a few times about how it was a bit scary and too much.

The acting in this drama was absolutely phenomenon, from the minor characters to the main characters. Each villain really draws you in, leaving you angry at how a human could be so cruel to do certain things. I absolutely loved that Kang Bitna's character would bring the criminal into their own "crime scene" to experience the torture of what they did to those they killed.

While the romance in this drama seems a little odd (simply considering the whole premise), the chemistry between Park Shin Hye and Kim Jae Young was fire. You can't help but want to root for them together even if it doesn't seem logical.

There are also some small comedic elements that help to break up the tension and thrilling aspects. The music was also fantastic!!! And the ending credits? Chef's kiss.

Highly recommend giving this drama a try, especially if you enjoy the genre.

THE WRITER NEEDS AWARDS!!

This drama totally nails it, thanks to a amazing script and brilliant directing. It’s almost unreal that it’s the writer’s first script! The plot was set from the beginning, no weekly changes based on audience reactions, and you can tell—it’s packed with tiny details that make you go “wow.” The team deserves all the awards, and it’s a shame people are missing out just because it’s not a typical rom-com.

Park Shin Hye as Justitia was amazing! She’s fierce, stylish, and brings out this refreshing personality with incredible action scenes. Kim Jaeyoung also shines as Han Daon, finally getting a lead role that feels perfect for him. Their chemistry was really good. Initially you wonder how they will tease each other and then you just start waiting for their cute moments. The “enemies to lovers” trope hits hard—she even kills him in their third meeting!

SBS has to give them Daesangs!!

Story Breakdown (Some spoilers):
- Fantasy:7/10
- Crime:8/10
- Romance:5/10
- Subtle Romance:10/10

The romance is more about cute, awkward moments rather than intense scenes, which actually makes it more touching. They’re both total beginners at love, so hugs even catch them off guard. In the final episode, there’s a well-done time skip that makes their relationship growth feel natural instead of forced.

Justitia is focused on her dark mission, acting as a judge who secretly puts criminals on her own “death trial” to send them to hell. But here’s the twist—her decisions don’t always bring justice to the victims’ families, which adds a lot of depth to her character. By the end, she’s starting to question her ruthless approach.

Han Daon, meanwhile, is the detective working on Justitia’s cases, frustrated as she releases the very criminals he’s spent ages catching. He discovers the truth about her pretty early on, and just when it feels like he might expose her, he starts to adopt her harsh methods, while Justitia becomes more compassionate. Their role reversal is a brilliant twist.

Execution:
- Each episode kept fans guessing with theories, but the show constantly surprised us. The trailers even threw us off!
- There was one plot hole: what happened to Bitna’s soul? Since she was wrongly sent to hell, it would’ve been nice to see that resolved. But it’s left open for interpretation.

In conclusion, don’t skip this just because it’s not a rom-com! The story’s engaging, with great humor and fantastic chemistry between the leads. You’ll want to rewatch this one for sure!

My Drama of the Year

There are a lot of great dramas this year, but this one stands out to me. I love the writing, and it was not easy to pull it off considering the story and the premise of demons and humans. I love how you can the writer kept you engaged and kudos to the director and the whole team, there are no dull moments. Kudos to both the FL and ML. Both shines. FL acting is great. She was able to deliver a wide range of emotions. ML is so cool too, rooting for this actor since 100 days my prince. Looking forward to his next project Kudos to the director and the whole team who was able to keep things slow, yet still interesting. I like the mix of action, mystery, and comedy. The director did great in wrapping up the stories of all characters - when all, I meant all. It was just sad that two of the main characters died, but it's needed in the story. So yes, this is my drama of the year - considering the story, the acting, directing and most of all the rewatch value.

This is Must Watch 100% Binge worthy K-drama and You will not regret it

"The Judge from Hell" absolutely blew my mind! It’s one of those K-dramas that manages to balance thrilling supernatural elements with unexpected humor, and I couldn’t get enough of it. Park Shin-hye as Judge Bit-na is iconic—she’s intense, commanding, and just hilarious when throwing people into eternal punishment! Her role as a demon judge forced to work alongside human Detective Da-on introduces a fascinating dynamic. Their chemistry, anchored in a blend of duty, wit, and opposing moral codes, adds complexity and charm to the story. Kim Jae-young's Detective Da-on is the perfect balance to her, bringing this calm, sometimes reluctant partner energy that made their teamwork addictive to watch. Praised for exploring moral ambiguities, the show questions traditional justice by contrasting Bit-na's unyielding punishments with Da-on’s measured, law-abiding approach. This tug-of-war on justice adds depth to a plot already brimming with action, suspense, and even moments of comic relief.

The cinematography / CGI? Chef’s kiss. The eerie underworld visuals mixed with courtroom suspense kept me on the edge of my seat every episode. Plus, the way it dives into moral gray areas without losing its charm is what makes it such a unique gem. This show had me laughing, gasping, and occasionally shouting at the screen. Judge Bit-na might be from Hell, but this series is heavenly, I can't wait to rewatch it a million times and Please please Season 2 if possible. The tension, plot twists, and their chemistry keeps you glued to every episode. This K-drama doesn’t just serve up thrills but also dives into themes of justice and morality in a unique, memorable way. If you’re a K-drama fan, it’s a must-watch❤️

Well Written, Good Direction, Must Watch!

A truly perfect collaboration between the writer and the director. From the very first episode, this drama has a great hook for its story. Once you watch even just one episode, you’ll definitely find yourself thinking about it and wanting to finish it.

With a fresh and tidy plot, current jokes are also frequently woven into the drama. When I learned that this drama was written by a new writer and produced by someone who had never produced a drama before, I knew it would bring a breath of fresh air. Honestly, there are a lot of great dramas this year, but The Judge From Hell has successfully established itself as one of the best dramas of 2024.

This drama has a strong identity and a slightly wild mindset, in my opinion. That’s the interesting point when watching a drama written by a new writer. Every scene feels fresh and not overused. The dialogues are also more fluid and funny.

Kudos to Park Shin Hye for her continuously improving performance, even after being in this field for so long. She portrays the character Kang Bit Na, a.k.a. Justitia, exceptionally well. This drama is truly led by her. This drama was clearly created for her. Her character is iconic, and it might just be one of my favorites of hers after Choi In Ha in Pinocchio.

I’m also really happy because finally, the actor I’ve been waiting for since 100th Days My Prince is the lead in this miniseries, Kim Jae Young. He has always acted well, it just seems he hadn’t gotten the opportunity yet. Especially in Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life, his crying were genuinely among the best, perfectly suited for the character Han Da On, who often cries due to her painful life.

What I really need to applaud again is the casting director. As far as I remember, there are no idol actors in this drama. I’m not underestimating idol actors, as some are indeed more skilled than pure actors. However, I often feel uncomfortable when there are too many idol actors in one drama. Many of them have a limited range, resulting in constrained expressions.

In this drama, there are so many cast members I've seen in other dramas, not as leads but as supporting characters. Almost every cast member has appeared in other dramas. The difference here is that their roles are close and significant. This drama didn’t bring in big names except for Park Shin Hye, but it did an excellent job in casting. Their performances are all commendable; they just hadn’t gotten the chance to play such characters before, and here they do.

I think this drama has great teamwork, making it feel solid and minimizing plot holes from episode one to the end. Even for lesser-seen characters like Bael, played by Shin Sung Rok, and Justitia, played by Oh Nara, with minimal screentime, they slayed the character, the casting was done excellently. There are truly no actors or actresses who are currently trending this year in this drama. The plot captivates viewers and draws them into the drama. Even in the ending of episode 14, all cast members' names are mentioned, even the smallest roles. For some reason, I felt moved watching it I know them, but I don't know their name, and Now I know it!

In my opinion, every aspect of this drama is just right. In terms of story, it might be similar to Devil Judge and Taxi Driver, but it has successfully carved out its own identity. The cases presented are also very compelling and evoke strong emotions, and Justitia's vengeance feels entirely justified.

The romance element might not appeal to everyone, but I see it as an essential aspect. Justitia is a demon; she could easily resolve punishment from Bael if she descended to Earth as a demon. Unfortunately, she is in a human body, so her soul and the body she inhabits inevitably begin to merge (similar to the theory used in Alchemy of Souls). Perhaps that is Bael's true punishment. Considering Justitia’s impulsive decision to throw Kang Bit Na into hell, once she becomes a judge in the world, she starts to have things to consider.

Love is one of the most significant elements of human life, whether it's romantic love or familial love. All of these feelings stem from being human. Gradually, Justitia starts becoming Kang Bit Na. That’s why when Justitia dies and enters the afterlife, she returns with Kang Bit Na's body, no longer as Justitia. This also leads me to conclude that the open ending of The Judge From Hell suggests that Justitia might not choose to remain human; she will complete her duties as a judge for another year and return to hell. Since Justitia is now also living as Kang Bit Na, I think it would be difficult for her to act as she did when she first descended to Earth.

Oh, and let’s not forget the beautiful chemistry between Park Shin Hye and Kim Jae Young. They don't go from hate to love, but somehow, they are always there for each other. An odd but charming couple. It’s truly the best chemistry Park Shin Hye has had with a co-star since I last felt it when she acted in Pinocchio. (Unfortunately, it's a forbidden couple, so let’s just enjoy it :’D).

Overall, this drama is genuinely entertaining, helps us vent our anger, is thrilling, and memorable.
In the end, I believe the name Kang Bit Na, with "Bitna" meaning "shine" in Korean, truly brings light to all the cast members and makes them shine in this drama. And the brightest light, of course, is Kang Bit Na.

My Best K-Drama of 2024

"The Judge from Hell" exceeded all my expectations. I initially started watching just because of Park Shin Hye and because I had no other show lined up for Friday and Saturday nights. However, as the series unfolded, I found myself eagerly looking forward to each new episode, especially to see how the journey between Bitna and Daon would develop.

Park Shin Hye truly outdid herself with her role in this drama. Taking on the complex character of Bitna, a seemingly cold-hearted "demon" judge with a mysterious past, she brought intensity and nuance to every scene. It was refreshing to see her challenge herself with such a layered character, a departure from some of her past roles, and she pulled it off flawlessly, embodying Bitna’s resilience, ambition, and vulnerability.

Kim Jae Young was perfectly cast as Han Daon, matching Park Shin Hye's energy and creating undeniable chemistry on screen. Their evolution from rivals to lovers was surprisingly satisfying; it wasn't drawn out or clichéd but rather progressed naturally, allowing viewers to connect with their journey. Their relationship was filled with tension and tenderness, offering just the right balance of push-and-pull dynamics. When they finally shared moments of affection—whether in a lingering hug or a sweet, unexpected kiss—it felt like a well-earned culmination of their growing bond rather than a typical romance plot device.

The drama's pacing and storyline were also well-crafted, ensuring each episode had a mix of suspense, emotional depth, and romance. “The Judge from Hell” delivered on every front, providing a thrilling watch and leaving me eager for more by the end of each episode.

Yes, The Judge from Hell is my top 1 best K-Drama of 2024!!!

This series is one of my favorites of 2024

✨this series is simply surprising! I was afraid it would have a bad ending like some releases from this year that I followed, but this series had a very good ending ? it kept me from start to finish, the performance of the protagonist who played the character Kang Bitna was amazing, I laughed a lot at her expressions, the couple had a lot of chemistry, I simply loved it and yes, this series was on the list of my favorites of 2024 and I will watch it again because I already miss the cast, the last episodes I dehydrated from crying, I felt the pain of those characters who lost your loved ones, thank you screenwriter for being sensible and for delivering a decent ending!

The actress (Park Shin Hye) playing the female lead in this show is truly remarkable and brings a unique quality to her performance that stands out from what we typically see in most K-dramas. The series itself feels refreshing, offering something different compared to the usual trends in Korean dramas today. A lot of credit goes to the female lead, as her outstanding acting seems to carry the entire show. It's clear that her talent is elevating the overall experience, making it a standout in the current K-drama landscape. Great job to her for bringing such depth and uniqueness to the role!
