The Judge from Hell (2024)

"Vai all'inferno"

Wow!!! This is such a standout K-drama with a truly unique theme.
Park Shin Hye looking absolutely gorgeous throughout the show, her stylist did an incredible job with her wardrobe and overall appearance on top her incredible acting skills .. ❤️❤️
Jae-young Kim adding his own charm, his character have started developing intense in these later episodes.

The best thing about The show is its fresh take on the supernatural demon/angel theme. I mean Instead of the usual devil taking revenge or acting out of curiosity, This one has a devil with a clear mission: delivering pure judgment, makes the story more compelling and purpose. Plus the amount of gore, which you don’t usually see in K-dramas.
The graphic portrayal of justice adds a gripping intensity and love story is very much on the sidelines ... And focused on the main theme that is justice and retribution.
To me the highlight of this show is watching the devil make wrongdoers feel every ounce of pain and abuse they inflicted on their victims, not gonna lie this delivered a strange sense of satisfaction. It’s about absolute justice, and the way it’s delivered is both chilling and satisfying—you can't help but feel a strange sense of closure as each judgment is passed.

Ost and background music is bomb.

Edit : just finished watching ep 14 ...

The last episode was a blockbuster .. ultimate trial .. emotional climax ... And a huge wordrobe (17 outfits in single episode... kudos to sponsors and stylists) this episode had it all.

I CAN SAY THIS ONE IS MY FAVOURITE KDRAMA AND IT'S GONNA BE FOREVER. ❤️❤️❤️

Best 2024 kdrama !

It delivered exactly what it promised. A ruthless demon judge from hell punished criminals in the most satisfying way possible.
The storyline of this drama is unique and well written/delivered.
I started this drama without much expectations since dramas this year were disappointing and left me in a kdrama slump but judge from hell exceeded my expectations and completely won me over with a captivating storyline and great performance by the actors .
The concept if punishing criminals in the same way they tortured their victims was so satisfying to watch . Applaud to the writer(s) for this masterpiece.
Park shin hye as Kan bitna was a delight to watch . Her character was so refreshing and likeable until the very end .
Kim jae young as Han da on , al tho was a bit annoying at the beginning but his character development was so good that i fell in love with him later on . Also he’s so gorgeous and his smile is so pretty .

A solid 10/10 from me because it was a treat to watch this drama and each episode was interesting and better so I don’t see the point of giving it any less rating than this.

IT'S THE SERIES OF THE YEAR

i've been a fan of kim jaeyoung for three years now, i saw his drama "reflection of you" and his acting got me hooked up, he portrays emotions so well, i looked up on sns and he was so underrated, but i'm loving the fact that he's gaining the attention and admiration he deserves, my man devoured his role as "seo woojae (reflection of you)", "kang haejin (love in contract)", and of course as han daon, i feel so proud for the recognition he's finally receiving for his acting, he's a humble pookie, i hope he keeps on getting frequenct roles from now as he mentioned in one of his interviews that whenever he'd go on hiatus after shooting a series he'd be depressed, but i really wish he keeps on getting more and more roles and let's not forget that our man deserves a reward for his unmatched performance, we love you kim jaeyoung.
park shinhye depicted her character flawlessly, it was a hard slap for those saying she can't act, the action scenes left me in awe everytime i watched one, i hope both of them work in a project again, they had chemistry that was exceptional.

A Park Shin Hye show

It was one of the rare series that never lost its plot, activation, excitement and game from beginning to end. A very good production, management, plot and acting. I would like to thank those who contributed in advance. Due to my religious beliefs, such demon events are against me. However, it was handled and presented so beautifully that you watch it. I think it is a story combined with the beliefs and dreams of the writer. It was very good.
Park Shin Hye deserved the award for this role. She gave such a beautiful performance. It even made you say that this role was written for her. She was very good. I congratulate her. The other actors were also very good. In my opinion, it was an award-worthy series.
I recommend it to those who like this kind of series. They should watch it.

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!!!

Drama do ano? Definitivamente merece uma posição.

É extremamente raro terminar um drama e pensar que ele merece 10 mas aqui não tem dúvidas que é merecido! Do começo ao fim conseguiram equilibrar todos os elementos possíveis com uma qualidade surpreendente, tivemos osts, comédia, romance, atuação surreal dos criminosos,vinganças saborosas, efeitos especiais incríveis e um casal com uma química transbordante. Não teve um momento que eu senti a história ficar chata ou enrolada. E é tão bom ver uma fantasia de novo pq é complicado a Coreia investir nesse gênero atualmente e com uma qualidade assim vai ser mais impossível ainda. E ainda teve a surpresa desse beijo final aí pq desde do começo não tava esperando que o romance fosse aprofundado e ganhei um banquete! A atuação da Shin Hye merece ser mencionada pq simplesmente ela brilhou como a Juíza do inferno.

Probably 2024’s Best

Loved this drama. It was something I always looked forward to at the end of every week.

The angst, the action, the drama, the plot, they were all wonderfully made.

And as much as I love romance and the chemistry between the leads, this is probably the first time that it didn’t become my focus or priority. I was so engrossed in the story that I just want to know what will happen to Justitia and the gang in the end.

Speaking of the end… While the open ending gives everyone a somewhat happy ending; because it’ll be up to us to interpret what Justitia’s next action will be, I still preferred if they ended this on a bittersweet note. I think the impact would even be bigger. Because in all honesty, the plot twist to give her mortality in the end, beats the purpose of her being an actual judge from hell with zero f**ks to give. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the character growth of Justitia, but let’s be honest, we cannot erase that at the end of this all, they are still from hell… And I was somehow prepared that this will be like a CLOY love story with heaven and hell as the barrier... I just really wish that the ending was more thorough, or more options were given, rather than it being focused on just giving a happy-happy good ending fan service for everyone.

But overall, I still love this drama. Very much so one of the best for 2024.

-.5 just because I can’t with the ending. This is probably a me issue though.

A story of a judge who punish on her term.

I knew that I'd love the story as well as the acting, but I don't know why I was hesitant to watch it. I truly enjoyed watching it. It was worth my time.

Loved Park Shin Hye acting as a demon. She nailed it. Also liked Kim Jae Young's acting. His character has innocence, shyness which and is portrayed nicely.

Most pleasing thing is that the ending wasn't rushed. But still I want to know what she chooses.

Loved how Kang Bit Na punished criminals the same way they committed the crime. Loved how she punished them. It was so pleasing to watch, especially the Yang Seung Bin one.

But I have a question. Is it really important to give criminals a light sentence then punish them in her way? She can give them the sentence they deserve, then punish them in jail or somewhere else the way she did to the serial killer. Hell! She is a demon, she can teleport into jail, kill the culprit, then wipe away the evidence. That way, she won't be a bad judge.

Also she teleports whenever she punishes criminals, but why can't she do that when Han Da On was guarding her in front of her apartment?

Laughed when Kang Bit Na said the criminal to stop crying. Also when Han Da On bought a megaphone in front of the court to talk to her.

I really enjoyed it.
