"According to writer Moon Yoo Seok, ‘The Devil Judge’ was originally planned as a 20-part series."
“In the first draft of the script, there was a scene where Isaac tried to take his own life for Yohan. It was because he thought that his father would not abuse Yohan when he was gone.”
“When I made characters, I ignored gender at all… Cha Kyunghee is just an ambitious power figure, and Yoon Soohyun is just a detective who wants to protect his first love. Both are familiar characters that appear a lot as men in Korean dramas.”
“On the contrary, Kim Gaon's role is often given to female characters. Characters locked in conventional gender roles are obvious and uninteresting”
"Writer Moon Yooseok: If many people love 'The Devil Judge', we can make a follow-up season. If such an opportunity arises, it will be interesting to try it out with a more lighthearted action tone like "Sherlock" or "Lupin."

"Devil Judge' became a hot topic with the excellent acting skills of the actors who made even the unrealistic setting understand. Ji-sung proved his wide acting spectrum by going back and forth between a maddened dark hero, a wounded young man, and a cold-hearted strategist, and Kim Min-jung perfectly portrayed Jeong Seon-ah, a villain who commits all kinds of evil with her bright face. Jinyoung, who excelled in the dual roles of Kim Ga-on and Kang Isaac, and Park Gyu-young, who aroused sympathy from viewers by playing the role of a police officer, were also well received. Writer Moon Yoo-seok said, "Really, all the actors gave brilliant performances. In fact, 'Devil Judge' is a chaotic story full of heterogeneous elements. In an exaggerated dystopian setting like a cartoon, the narrative of a classic tragedy, theatrical written dialogue, and intentional discomfort.
The reason I was able to put and push these elements that I like excessively was because I believed in the actors. Without the intelligent actors Ji-sung and Kim Min-jung, who could have saved the unique characters of Kang Ha-han and Jeong Seon-ah? Jinyoung and Park Gyu-young, who brilliantly played a difficult role suffering from fate; Jang Young-nam, Nae-sang, and Baek Hyun-jin, who played mad villains with different personalities; and Kim Jae-kyung, who played a simple but sympathetic character. In addition to that, the excellent acting of all the actors (...)."
