Watching yoo yeonseok as ahn jeongwon is a pleasure because he is the sweetest nicest most beautiful empathatic baby. And then suddenly i will have a when the phone rings flashback of him as baek saeon and just wow.

[weirdhunterangel]

Someone please explain the ep4 promo to me because I am dumb. Why does duwon look so expressionless when yiyoung held his hand?

What does jaeil mean by are you like me? What conversation are these two men having because it feels like jaeil is saying something and duwon is saying something else?? Does he not like yiyoung??

Why is yiyoung trying to quit again????

Dies

Lately, nothing makes sense. There can't be a Hong Hee-ju I don't know about. I need to find out which one is the real one. Right now, you're my only lead.

[weirdhunterangel]

Honestly I see a somewhat cold hearted might be toxic or mayhaps just doesnt know how to communicate male lead and then I decide to adopt them. Also wife who is sick of her husband and everybodys elses nonsense so decides to do something crazy to get a divorce??

Yes please

[weirdhunterangel]

I am obsessed with when the phone rings because what do you mean marriage of cqonvenience trope but the cold hearted male lead is somewhat in love with his who thinks he doesnt care about her???

And don't get me started on the scene of him lifting her up and putting her on the table.

Agreeing to everything here

the judge from hell: ending thought dump

i would say i'm insane that the first thought i had when the credits rolled was "where's human bitna's soul???" not because the drama would be better if she shows herself, but because they showed her escaping and just didn't give us any closure. nevertheless, despite this, they gave us such a unique way to justify justitia's stay on her body. not to mention the bael deal (giving her 3 years of vacation before returning) and the cliffhanger lucifer deal (10 sinners killed in a year to be fully human) (we should get a season 2 at this point). the three scenes leading to the ending clearly showed us how her morals changed in the way she was conflicted with her decision about the un-remorseful defendant, to her (VERY BEAUTIFUL) callback on her scene with the children asking her about justice.

they also resolved the serial killing trope really well. the idea already of making the murderers feel how they killed their victims had such a nice build up from the first SA suspect until this serial killer. then when they built the coffin displays for all the victims while J was hanging himself was, in a way, a peaceful closure for the victims. it showed his remorse (despite bitna forcing him to do so), and putting an end to their worries that justice won't be served to him (he escaped, plus the way he told myeongsuk ahjumma that he was eating well inside jail) and he got what he deserved. again, not to mention that in the earlier episode, bitna and her chief judge refused to give in to the assemblymen's pressure to acquit him. i know, justitia has her own firm judgement already. but it made her human anyways.

side note: i found it funny (a bit) that bitna's death scene in episode 13 never fazed me. was this an effect of snowdrop still? jk.

and coming from this - i loved the pay off of every decision and interaction bitna and gabriel had. i already had the vibe initially that every test gabriel gave bitna would be beneficial for her to have more points from God, hence the reincarnation. and the cute scene too at the end - where his new form asked her to treat her to burgers because she promised on her funeral that she'll buy her dinner. the details of this show is very meticulous and i love it.

it was also so heartwarming to show all the victims after two years with the closures they showed. it's also really a good thing that the show only showed around 5 suspects instead of stretching it to how many episodes they have (a lot of law shows do that) so we still get to see everyone.

and, of course - han daon and kang bitna. i loved how much they trusted each other's judgments when it comes to the heavy decisions about their morality. i think this is the best way to show a relationship - or if anyone should pick a partner in the future, it would be with someone who trusts your wisdom to choose what's best for you. and both of them are, in a way, morally good decision makers. not to mention they were both so supportive of each other. daon never gave bitna the burden of giving up her future in hell by not doing the killings. he has his role as a detective, she has her role as a judge. such a nice partnership! and when it comes to their romantic scenes, i'm fine with all the subtle and natural moments that they had. they didn't have any extravagant cliche romance scenes except for the imaginary wedding. the long kiss was also a huge pay off after all the teasing of steamy moments with no kisses, interrupted kisses, the pecks, then we get "[nv] you should kiss me as much as you love me." [!!!!!!!!!!!] damn!

and park shinhye, of course! the best thing that happened to this drama. i apologize as i was a bit doubtful of her. i didn't like how she portrayed cha eunsang in the heirs and now i realized it was just because the writing of her character was so goddamn stale. but like what the director said - if there was an actress who can show her subtle cute style and be an action star villain-main character, it should be her. she showed well how justitia's mentality transitioned from being a full blown demon with no remorse to someone who felt immense sympathy from the victims and han daon's experience, and of course, the girlboss girlfriend vibe.

of course, not everything in this drama is unique. but it is refreshing. it also stresses important messages about justice that should be said especially in this era - the number one rule of justice is the law should not forgive what the victims couldn't. apologizing is an obligation, but forgiveness is not. justitia's trials cover admission of crime, asking for forgiveness to the victims, and remorse for the deed, all three core things that people sometimes forget when cases like murders and such happen. korea should know better after seeing this show. [coughs]

and, as always, we should never waste the potential of kim jaeyoung and park shinhye. GIVE THEM A MOVIE!!!!!

also kim jae young the new korea IT boy lfg

[weirdhunterangel]

Oh my god im so glad someone said this because i thought it was really well done too

the judge from hell ending credits what a heartwarming ending. best drama, you will be missed!

[weirdhunterangel]

i was wheezing so bad in this scene because something so sexy about daon giving up all his morals & pretending to be sad they’re not able to catch the murderer lol

this is same guy who once moved right next to bitna’s flat & even spent one whole night guarding her gate so that he can catch her when she leaves her house for committing murders lmao

but now he just unapologetically supports her in everything she does because he understands how flawed law is you cannot deliver justice solely based on it & sometimes bitna’s ways are needed to punish the perpetrators. the way he just respects her so much & whenever it comes to her, he just throws his morality out of the window & is like honest police officer my a$$ yes sweetie go & give those criminals a taste of their own medicine i am here to cover up for you.

that’s the best part about them that they both wholeheartedly accept who they’re and let each other make their own decisions & just support in whatever the outcome is (bitna with daon deciding whether or not to kill taegyu & daon with bitna regarding whether she wants to go back to hell or not).

daonbitna not only my fav ship of 2024 but one of my fav ships of all the time <3

Here is why the judge from hell was a perfect kdrama. It did everything it went to do really well. Its didnt pull the plot for no reason. It didnt give us 500 tropes in one drama. The only stoyline missing is that we don't know what happened to the OG Kang Bitna.

On the whole I think the plot was solid as was the acting. Park Shin Hye was stunning, my favourite character of hers. And Kim Jaeyoung was also stunning. In fact he was so soft and looked so good while he was crying that I have now adopted him, he is one my kdrama men now.

On the whole I think the drama was top notch and I will miss it. Definitely a highlight of 2024.

[weirdhunterangel]

So I was wrong about the dad? Its the crazy brother? Well whoever it is I am so looking forward to justitia whooping their ass. Like i love the poetic justice. You suffer through what you made people suffer through.

[weirdhunterangel]

Park shin hye just gave me chills when she said "you're wrong, I'm the demon of demons".

Like queen. The looks she has been serving as Justitia, I am truly amazed. The walk, the expressions. I would gladly let her step on me. I am seated for tomorrow.

[weirdhunterangel]

Out of curiosity, does anyone think that mayhaps the assemblyman is Satan?? Because he is growing old, Satan needs a new body and he just seems creepy and shady overall. Also clearly the second son is going through something, maybe have a serial killer dad did that to him.

Bitna did say it didn't seem like he killed the detective. He doesn't seem like he has the mental ability for it either.

And original Bitna's disappeared family? What if he killed them too? I dont know just thinking out loud.

I could either be so right or soo wrong😂

[weirdhunterangel]

Warching the judge from hell is a treat. I have never been a big fan of park shin hye dramas. I liked her a bit in doctor slump but I couldn't finish that either. But I am really enjoying her acting in this, its a great change of pace for her and I love the crazy look she gets in eye just as she is about to serve a main course of justice.

Over all Im having a lot of fun, the leads have chemistry and its not in your face but still makes you look forward to it.

I am curious about the OG kang bitna and what the assemblyman wants with her. And how she has escaped hell and how her story will tie into this because at the end she is a very different person from Justitia. So I really wonder what they will end up doing with that plotline. But overall looking forward to it.

You don't understand how soft I am for bae seok ryu and choi seung hyo!! Man is clearly harboring a dormant not so dormant crush on her and is just happy she is in his life and how he appears everywhere pretending like he doesn't want to be there. And just constantly all the acts of service. Taking time out of his busy day to redo her whole room? Moving back to his old room when he clearly has a slightly abnormal relationship with his parents.

Also someone tell me why she was ready to climb out of her window into his room like there wasn't a 7 foot gap and a 15 foot drop?? Queen do you want to break some bones??

Hae in just straight up exists and makes me want to hold him.

[weirdhunterangel]

You don't understand. Banter is my holy grail.

Then how do you know each other? She's the daughter of my mom's friend. He's the son of my mom's friend.
