I am a ji sung fan, but when a drama is not good I will admit that instead being blinded by a star cast.

At first the story starts with Ji sung character aka the devil judge to be shown as two faced, not directly but through the words of an elder judge who tells our another hero Ga On, played by park jin young. He tells Ga On devil judge may seem like punishing evil, but do you really think he is all that and doesn't have some dark secret behind his good actions. Then the elder judge merely shows up his face now and then in the drama. Anyway , this leads the viewers in first few episodes to doubt the devil judge, we even doubt devil judge may have killed his brother in a fire, we doubt his real intentions when he punishes bad people and all of a sudden writer throws that concept out of the window, without giving a clarity what his actions mean. It is episode 9., the writer didn't give us whether the devil judge is a misunderstood character, or really evil who uses other bad people as an excuse for his actions or a good guy who just uses outside the law methods to catch bad people. In conclusion his character is a heck of confusion for me and I won't even call the character mysterious since it is annoying.

Now coming to our second hero, Ga On, now he is the most undecisive character, one minute he acts like devil judge is someone he cares a lot only to see him hate the devil judge and doubting him the next minute. For few episodes he doesn't agree with devil judge methods, but all he does is complain it, but not take any action. He lives in the devil judge house, first it was for an injury reason which was understandable as viewers cause devil judge house has security, he still lives in the house, so we think he is trying to spy by staying in the house a little longer. Now he is totally living in the house like he is devil judge family member which didn't even make sense to me. Despite his character is shown as someone who will see the real side of devil judge in initial episodes, he now acts like he is a devil judge minion without giving viewers a proper reason why he changed his opinions.

Now coming our female lead, jeong seon ah, she is a villain and opposite character. Out of all characters she is the only one who makes sense to me despite she is shown as a evil character. Although she is a poor girl who now became a powerful chairwoman, how she got such power is still has to be explained.

Now the other female lead, who is yoon soo hyun, now she is friend of Ga On and a police officer. Her character is merely a decoration and does nothing helpful to the plot. Well to be fair the plot in this drama is inconsistent, but still she is of no use till now. Her screen time is even less, compared to her a side character called Elijah, the devil judge niece gets more time.

The plot is set in a dystopian korea, but after seeing the drama it is any other law korean drama's only which has good judges and bad politicians and selfish businessmen. The plot is just all over the place, what is the purpose of the story, what is your characters purpose, everything is inconsistent.

Even the viewership ratings on wikipedia page have dropped since last few episodes because of bad writing. Any high ratings given to this drama in this site is because of star cast biasedness. that's all.
