'The Devil Judge' was one of the most awaited drama for me this year. I'm really glad it didn't disappoint me yet unlike some other dramas released. Drama's plot comes first and Ji Sung choosing this drama added the icing on the cake for me. The drama unfolds as the common people are suffering miserably in the city while the aristocrats are enjoying lavishness...in such a moment Korea's judicial system takes a unexpected change. Live Judgment, where public can vote in real-time using an app which will affect the verdict. In other way public emotion sways the verdict.Kim Yo Han a strict and merciless judge is in charge of it. Amidst dirty politics, interfering powerful figures can this variety-show-like- courtroom deliver justice. Even Yo Han seems a grey-ish character with many secrets hiding his intentions. Kim Ga Yeon, an assistant judge is determined to unveil the truth along side his childhood friend.The first case this unique bench takes up against a chemical factory, negligence of work ethics resulting in several casualties. The CEO is punished with 235 years in prison. At this moment Yo Han seems like an angel but yawning while consoling an olderly victim leaves Kim Ga Yeon in bewilderment (also me 0.0)From shooting scene to delivering the first verdict, it was an enthralling ride. Ji Sung, amazing as ever. Jin Young did a fabulous job. Other characters were also on point. Cinematography is pretty nice.Deducting one star for the exaggeration in the plot. Though it's dystopic some things were a bit too much.What does Yo Han want? Is he the devil as he appears or a justice delivering batman?...Looks like our main characters have many skeletons in their closets. We'll have to wait till the story unfolds.

This episode starts with the queen being her quirky self as usual but the incident is changing the perception of the king. When Jo Hwa Jin was being judged in the royal court queen Kim So Yong defended her by confessing that she had attempted suicide. All the people present were shocked although queen Dowager Jo was upset for her behaviour. Queen Kim So Yong also receives a threat to be dethroned. But this incident lingers in the king's mind. The queen away from all this is elated that she might go back to her world after jumping in the lake. So avoiding all the guards in the midnight the queen comes by the lake and jumps. But the king suddenly appears and saves her from drowning.~~the last scene was amazing. I was totally amazed by Kim Jung Hyun's acting underwater. Though we all have noticed his great work in Waikiki. This drama is really balancing the suspense and comedy.

True Beauty starring Cha Eun Woo, Moon Ga Young , Hwang In Yeop released the first episode. As I have read the webtoon the cast effortlessly conveys the characters. Though beauty standards are arbitary. The episodes starts with the problems and sufferings of Lim Joo Gyung (Moon Ga Young) that she faces because of her appearance. After transferring to a new high school Joo Gyung changes through makeup and now is a goddess. On the contrary Lee Su Ho is handsome and topper of the class. Though he appears cold and a mystery of his own. Can Su Ho help realise Joo Gyung her true beauty?
