It's great thriller drama
Okay so it was a great drama in 2024 so far .....I love fl a lot how she acts in it like so dam good her acting was so good that I actually think that if there would be a demon in this world then she would be like Kang bitna only.Okay If I am talking about the main lead he is dam hot and he also acted so well in this drama that I have become a fan of him I would love to see him in more dramas like this. And one more his visual is no joke at all...he looks to fine in this drama. I won't give the spoilers to the viewers....I will say one thing that go for it guys without thinking..... it's totally worth watching.

Best Fantasy Thriller of 2024
I'm not lying when I say I started it with very little expectation cos I never saw ML & hardly like the FL. God has humbled me with Park Shin Hye's portrayal of Kang Bitna & HOW HARD I FELL FOR HAN DOAN IS UNPRECEDENTED. Kim Jae Young you cutie.Shin Hye played the judge demon role like it should be played. Perfection to the N & Jae Young absolutely melancholic cop whose suffering was so heart wrenching, made a beautiful duo.
This drama will forever be ICONIC & will be remembered for a long long time.

The plot, or the setting around it, was a bit rough around the edges at times. It can certainly be argued that her role as a judge was not particularly necessary for the story itself – she could just as well have worked in a morgue. And as a result, the plot allows itself to play as loosely as it wants with that setting. This is not a serious legal drama, this is a fantasy about demons, and as long as it has its own internal logic that it follows to a point, and it works decently. The court was a decent plot device that moves the story along, but it did feel a tad repetitive and almost too much of a crutch to the story at times.
That internal logic doesn’t drag the story down unless you really focus on how the legal system or anything like that works and perhaps some of the logic of how the underworld functions to be a but flawed, but I don’t find myself wondering too much about it as I watch the show. The fantasy-elements don’t feel too hesitant to play around but it’s not as if things are happening for no reason. It gets a little confusing as we get further into the story, and the cop-part of the story may be a little basic, but the fantasy adds something new and fresh to that tried-and-true story.
The drama focuses a bit on the morality of humans, along with the laws they have made to uphold the justice and the people who break them. There is a certain thrill in watching our main character take revenge on the criminals with the same amount of blood and violence that they inflicted on others. But that part got a bit repetitive until the serial killer storyline really got going. And while I thought the drama did a good job of showing human corruption and how weak the justice system is at times, and getting to see Park Shin Hye in all those action scenes was fun, I wanted a little more out of that theme than we got.
The series was exciting with a lot of action and some violence - without being too gory or too cruel. They managed to balance those things with a decent amount of humor and a gentle character moment. Towards the middle, when everything truly was set in motion, there was not a dull moment to be found, and the drama managed to keep the momentum going until the very end.
One of my favorite things about The Judge from Hell manages to deliver one trope, or the role reversal, which I really enjoy; I adore evil female characters or a cold-hearted immortal female character who bring softer human male characters along with them and little by little she allows herself to open a little. Or the male character allows her feel things for the first time in a long time without her becoming too soft. Seeing female and male characters swapping traditional gender roles is always fun, especially if it’s done well.
The romance was slow, which suits the story well, but it was still full of suspense, tenderness and passion. But the story worked for every smile and every tear the characters produced as the narrative slowly moves from enemies to companions and then to lovers.
The drama seemed to have wholeheartedly embraced its wacky setting and just gone full steam ahead. The thrilling action, the exciting build-up, the internal logic as well as the character moments were something that the drama managed so well, and the acting was good across the board, which made the entertainment value of the drama truly addictive. Although for sure, the drama had its weaker moments when history repeated itself slightly and the special effects were perhaps a little lame at times but that can also be part of the charm.
But what I think makes this drama as good as it was were the characters; the spark between them and the humor. The combination of the motives of the main characters and the way they change places, one becomes warmer and the colder was well deserved within the narrative and even the secondary character was well executed, getting their moments shine and develop within the story.

This DRAMA PROMOTE CRIME(murder) and call it JUSTICE
Its new, and refreshing dramai 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

Need more of this kind of anti hero dramas
I love this drama because it is quite different from other K-dramas which the main character, Justicia/ Kang Bitna is an anti hero. The storyline is very interesting and refreshing although it is still predictable. Park Shin Hye acting is good and well spotted. However, some of the actors who played as villains were very cringey and overacting, very hard to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
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 dialogueThe 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.

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.Was this review helpful to you?
