O Juiz do Inferno (2024)

Actuaciones on point para una historia meh

La actuación es buena porque Park Shin Hye es un valor seguro. Me hace gracia que no hay casi besos porque este casadisima y tenga un hijo. Así se demuestra también que no es necesario que si o si los protagonistas tengan que besarse mucho para demostrar que son pareja y que se quieren. El chico protagonista (Kim Jae Young) me ha sorprendido mucho pues creía que no le había visto antes actuar y al parecer si le había visto antes actuar pero no es hasta ahora que me he dado cuenta de lo bien que actúa , aparte de ser un pedazo de crush. Kim Ah Young, la vi por primera siendo amiga en My Sweet Mobster, ha vuelto ha hacer una actuación impecable dándonos momentazos. Espero que pronto ya sea protagonista porque ahí nos va a dejar flipando a todos.

Respecto a la historia cae en ciertos clichés que sabes que desde el minuto uno va a caer, rollo se va a enamorar de un humano, su única sentencia buena va a ser la que dicte para su amor, los protagonistas cambiaran a las personalidades del otro, vamos que caen en ciertos tópicos y te dejan ciertas cosas sin finalizar rollo el Han Daon , se carga los videos y no le sucede nada?? Demasiado conveniente para él,no?. O que no se resuelva el asesino en serie que mata a los criminales...No hay mucha parte de la historia que me haya dejado sorprendida tal vez me ha gustado la vecina católica saber su historia y su fanatismo religioso porque venía pero siento que lo otro ha caído en los típicos clichés.
Ahora legalmente hablando, no se mucho del sistema legal de Corea pero flipo que el mismo juez que te juzga es el que tiene que investigar, a la porra la imparcialidad , vamos es que eso es un sistema acusatorio donde el juez no tiene resquicio de imparcialidad porque ha investigado el caso, porque seamos sinceros aquí la policía ni ha pinchado ni ha cortado ni vaya ni ha hecho nada. Aparte de cargarse el principio de juez imparcial, vamos en el último juez es un claro caso de recusación de juez , como puedes tener un juez que ha tenido relación con los vecinos que son víctimas así como con uno tiene una relación sentimental, normal que le deje hacer un alegato al Han Daon y bueno que luego haga esa sentencia, que si que será justa la sentencia (bueno eso depende de quien lo veas porque el crimen ya había prescrito y depende de cómo veas la institución de la cárcel y los derechos de los presos entenderás si los mismos deben tener derecho a la prescripción de sus delitos), es porque la gracia es que no es imparcial y le mete una condena de muerte (cosa que no sabía que Corea todavía tenga la pena de muerte y más siendo una democracia).
Y bueno ese lema que la justicia que no te la ha dado los cielos te la dé en la tierra , pues cariño mio siento decirte que la justicia no existe y más en un mundo capitalista que se mueve por el dinero

Burning Justice paired with Ice-Cold Chemistry

Judge From Hell delivers a captivating mix of fantasy and thriller, setting itself apart from other Korean dramas this year. The storyline is engaging and provides a refreshing approach, making it an entertaining watch for fans of the genre. Despite some predictable moments, the plot remains solid and well-executed.

One downside was the prevalence of spoilers circulating on social media before the drama’s release, which slightly dampened the element of surprise. However, the show’s overall quality was unaffected, offering a rewarding viewing experience. The production benefitted significantly from its star-studded cast and budget, ensuring the drama met expectations both visually and narratively.

Park Shin Hye shines once again in her role as Kang Bit Na. Her experience and talent are evident, with her performance carrying much of the drama’s emotional weight. Fans familiar with her previous works, such as Doctors, will find her portrayal here equally impressive. On the other hand, Kim Jae Young, as Han Da On, delivered a commendable performance, proving himself a solid counterpart to Shin Hye’s character.

However, the lack of chemistry between the two leads was noticeable. While romance wasn’t the central focus of the story, the subplot felt underwhelming due to the absence of a genuine connection between the characters. This aspect might leave some viewers wanting more from their interactions.

The supporting cast added depth and intrigue, complementing the main narrative well. However, some unresolved questions linger, such as the fate of Kang Bit Na’s original soul and her reasons for calling off her engagement. These ambiguities might leave viewers speculating long after the final episode.

Overall, Judge From Hell is a satisfactory drama that excels in many areas, from its compelling plot to its standout performances. While not without flaws, it remains a worthwhile addition to this year’s lineup of Korean dramas, offering an entertaining and thought-provoking experience.

Blockbuster Start, Slightly Lackluster Finale (still one of 2024's Best)

Supernatural merging with modern world, short length drama, one case per episode tying up to a larger storyline - these are the reasons why I started this drama. Right from the start it had me completely hooked, and the first 10 episodes were so captivating that I came on MDL weekly to discuss various theories with others. These engaging discussions made it one of the standout dramas in 2024 for me, but unfortunately, the ending didn’t quite meet my great expectations. Here’s the breakdown:

➥ BEST PARTS
✦ Story & Pace: I like crisp, engaging story telling - & this had different cases per episode while tying it to a larger story involving the main & recurring support casts. (Think: Tomorrow, Move To Heaven, Signal etc)
✦ Acting:
(1) Kang Bitna/Justicia: Park Shin Hye is usually in damsel-in-distress roles, but here she’s a savage + showing vulnerability as her character grows humane. Applauding her acting—more roles like this for her, please!
(2) Han Daon: First time seeing him, and I’m wondering why I’m only discovering this gem now! Handsome & acted with conviction. Hoping he gets the popularity he deserves (like Byeon Woo Seok overnight)—excited for his future projects!
(3) Mando, Arong, Landlady, Police Officers: Often seen in support roles, they delivered perfection even in limited screentime. Especially Kim In Kwon—been a fan since Mr Queen, what a talent.

➥ What Could Have Been Better:
The Finale Episodes 11-14:
The initial 10 episodes had set the bar so high, the scale so massive with its action, mystery that when it came to unfold in the last finale episodes - I was expecting epic battles, emotional rollercoasters, that doubt that will they have a happy ending or not? While it was good and fell into place - it felt underwhelming to the point that what was meant to be blockbuster turned out to be lackluster.

Example: Bael's forced punishments, Justicia vs Satan Battle, Gabriel's Sacrifice*, etc. felt a bit flat & rushed. Also, they did not completely reveal the fate of human Kang Bitna (did she escape Hell or no?)

➥ Overall:
The shortcomings are due to the fact that my expectations were sky-high. Otherwise this drama is great - I am definitely adding it to my Wall of Fame, and I think it is one of the best dramas of 2024. Highly Recommend to BINGE - it is a short one with mystery, action, comedy and romance - so worth the time.

P.S.: Those who know PSH would be familiar with her fish face kissing scenes. I think the ML brought on the wild side - cause that kiss in finale was ROARRRR! FIREEEE!!!!!

This DRAMA PROMOTE CRIME(murder) and call it JUSTICE

Its new, and refreshing drama
i can see it take inspiration from Lucifer
but had its own work in it, not just a copy

I like it but there is but

overly Hell story forcing viewers to see it as some religious cult driven show
FL is a judge but drama has nothing to do with her being a Judge
Justitia goddess of justice is a vigilante murderer herself

Shin rok told her to murder 10-20 murderers
How this has anything to do with justice ?

If the concept of drama would have that she had to sentence 10 criminal capital punishment according to law of humans, than it would have been a challenge and struggling
But everything is so easy now days for Lead character that, it hard to connect to leads now days they become alien

They call it punishment but it looks like a vacation where she has all her power and some minions has to murder bunch of people

As fantasy comedy with nothing meaningful then this drama is Good
But if they pretend to be something more then just comedy in start of drama then for 15 ep they will do only comedy and in last ep 16 they will be lecture viewer about life lessons

It's Good but it could have been better if director wasn't only focus on making FL look only cool nothing more or less
She should look COOL
Life is so easy for lead characters

ML was IDIOT and he deserve his mother death for sure
that poor woman has to die for ML

as ep 8 end this is also following KDRAMA tradition of becoming a trash after half
MELO ROMANCE of weak demon crying because no matter what she is a weak WOman

Amazing story

I've seen numerous thriller K-dramas, but this one stands out due to its exceptional acting and emotional balance. Each episode offers a thrilling mix of suspense, humor, and witty dialogue

The supporting cast delivers remarkably realistic performances, immersing viewers in the scenes. The drama masterfully captures the emotions of both the criminal and the supporting characters. The lead actors' performances are outstanding. The first two episodes will leave you wanting more, and by the end of the third, you'll be completely captivated by the story.

The music complements the story perfectly, and the subtle use of background music enhances the viewing experience.

This drama is a must-watch for fans of thrilling K-dramas. It reminds me of my favorite, "The Glory," and I appreciate the slow, organic development of the romantic relationship between the leads.

AN INSANE KDRAMA but

Here's my rant about *The Judge From Hell* since EVERYONE seems to love it:

- Why didn’t Mando just say that Arong asked him to keep an eye on Bitna’s outbursts and not just hint that “maybe she’ll betray us”?
- How is it that the place where Bitna was murdered can be rented so easily? Or is it because it’s in an amusement park that nobody heard anything?
- Where was the cleaning staff when Bitna got caught by Daon?
- If Justitia dies or turns human, then who’s going to be the judge in hell?
- If demons age, does that mean there’s a “before” and “after” version of them?
- Are Justitia, Gremory, and Paimon titles or names? Like, if one of them is missing or dead, who takes over their job?
- How does Bael know about Bitna’s verdict but somehow doesn’t know which demons have turned “human” (i.e., developed emotions)?
- HOW DID DAON EVEN FIND THE PLACE WHERE BITNA GOT STABBED?!

IF YOU WANT TO FREE PEOPLE FROM "POVERTY," YOU SHOULD GO AFTER ACTUAL POOR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT PREFER TO BE DEAD RATHER THAN ALIVE! (Take *ML Death’s Game* or *The 8 Show* as an example—they would definitely choose death over having to live another day!!) BECAUSE SERIOUSLY, YOU KILLED A BUNCH OF MIDDLE-CLASS PEOPLE?! (Daon’s family even has a house, and the single parent lady is literally having an apartments!)

Honestly, the whole storyline with the detective and killer is not well thought out.
*The sudden change in tension between Daon and Donghoon feels weird and rushed.
*HOW CAN A DETECTIVE RELY ON A JOURNALIST?!
*All the detective ever does is wait for results!

Must watch

The show exhibits remarkable chemistry between the male and female leads, complemented by the exceptional performances of the entire cast. Initially drawn to the series by the presence of Park Shin Hye, I found myself captivated by the other actors as well, who consistently deliver outstanding performances. Each episode is a captivating blend of suspense and humor, culminating in cliffhangers that leave viewers eagerly anticipating the next installment. This series is highly recommended for those who enjoy suspense, romance, anti-hero fantasy, judicial crime, and satanic themes.

Historia desperdiciada

He terminado de ver el drama por qué ya había invertido tiempo en el desde que empezó a emitirse, sentí el deber de terminar, pero sinceramente final forzado y plano.

Porque? ( mezclare lo que me gustó y no me gustó):

1. Historia "sobrenatural": creo que la historia inicial era atrapante, que haría un demonio poderoso en el mundo humano? Con esa premisa premisa en mente, el drama me atrapó en los primeros capítulos. Sin embargo, esa "humanización" del FL la sentí vacía, superficial y plana, hubo escenas dramáticas, sí, pero el romance entre ML y FL (la cual fue la razón para que FL se humanice) me pareció soso, sin química, forzado, poco natural de ese amor/odio inicial que mostraron. En otras palabras la historia pudo ser mejor si no se hubiera centrado en la premisa de que "el amor todo lo puede y lo cambia, para bien" lo que hace que esa premisa sea un cliché mal entendido. (3/10)

2. La FL (PSH) Justitia/Kang BitNa: el desempeño de la FL en pantalla me gusto (hasta cierto punto) la he visto en otros dramas y creo que aquí se esforzó para desempeñar un papel mezcla entre cínico y amable, sin embargo, sorry! La sentí como una actuación forzada, definitivamente amo a PSH en otros dramas, le aplaudo querer caracterizar algo poco común en sus papeles, sin embargo, pudo ser más "oscuro y creíble". Siento que su papel como Justitia perdió fuerza (6/10)

3. Humor: si! Fue un poco relajante las escenas de humor en las interacciones con los personajes secundarios, sinceramente se me hicieron divertidos, y en casos, rozando lo ridículos. (8/10)

4.Juicios: los primeros juicios creo que fueron disfrutables, algunas escenas un poco reforzadas en cuanto a coreografía de lucha cuerpo a cuerpo, sin embargo, para saciar la "sed de venganza" ante la indignación por personajes despreciables no estuvo mal (8/10)

5. ML (HDO): aunque guapo e interesante al principio, el personaje se ablando al final, perdiendo su carácter independiente, ni siquiera se invirtieron los papeles entre ML y FL, si no que el ML se volvió más plano, dependiente, super emocional y como un ser necesitado de que alguien lo defienda, como policía al final su papel fue plano. (4/10)

6. Secundarios: fueron divertidos, pintorescos y le dio un buen sustento a los FL y ML, sus emociones bien expresadas (me gustó el papel de la madre de Yechan). (8/10)

7. Satanás: el personaje me encantó, más en su forma original, pero me pareció que no enriqueció mucho la historia, solo fue una argucia para disminuirle la pena de Justitia.

8. Final: Terrible! Sacrificaron la historia por el romance, nooo! Un final capitulo 14 innecesario, largo, plano, a excepción del juicio del asesino J. No entendí porque Justitia en el infierno no tomo su forma original, y siguió en el cuerpo de BitNa, cuando otros demonios retornaron con su verdadera identidad. El apoyo del ángel Gabriel y la intervención de Dios... Hace quedar a la idea de Dios como una broma, ya que entonces, para que infierno? Y claro, ella sigue en su misión de matar a los "malos" aún teniendo la consciencia del sufrimiento de las víctimas, todo en base a que se humanizo y que los humanos no entienden los designios superiores de Dios o del diablo.... Sinceramente aburrido. (1/10)

9.Ost: varios temas del OST me gustaron. El intro principal con su canto lírico, si! (8/10)

JUST A SCI- FI THRILLER KINDA DRAMA !

At first, I started watching this for just some time. I guess it was worth my time. This drama had a different storyline from other cliche dramas. It started off with a good storyline. As a sci-fi drama, I can say it was good, but it could be much better. I didn't like the ending. There wasn't that much romance, but they added it still a bit. I liked the ML there. I saw him for the first time here in this drama; his acting was good. Park Shin Hye acted good too. loved to see her in a quircky character other than an obedient, crying poor girl. I enjoyed every story though; those cases were amusing to watch. If you love thrillers and sci-fi, you guys can give it a go.
