The Judge from Hell Park Shin-hye proclaims justice is dead

The newest teaser for SBS’s action-fantasy The Judge from Hell portrays its titular heroine Park Shin-hye (Doctor Slump) in a different light. In lieu of the pained screams, glowing red eyes, and burning gates to hell in the first teaser, the second leans towards a brighter atmosphere with a slight comedic bent.

Judge Kang Bit-na (Park Shin-hye) wears a red-wine-colored suit that pops against the white backdrop and stares straight into the camera with a smile plastered across her face. As if addressing school children, she tells the audience to follow along with her: “Justice is dead.” Well, those are some somber words to hear while facing death.

Her expression turns cold, and Bit-na haughtily informs us that this is why she will send us to hell personally. The text on screen calls her “wicked but lovely” which are not two words I would necessarily associate together. However, I love a good contrast, so I’m interested to see how the show will pull off this blend of genres.

Also in the cast is Kim Jae-young (Love in Contract) who plays violent crimes detective Han Da-on. A passionate man with a personality that can even warm a devil’s heart, Da-on meets Bit-na while she occupies a judge’s body in the human world. Will he actually be able to change a devil, or will she prove to him that the living world is no different from hell?

Besides our two leads, Kim Ah-young (Miss Night and Day) joins as demoted devil Lee Ah-rong, and Kim In-kwon (Parasyte: The Grey) plays Bit-na’s assistant devil Gu Man-do, making the main cast three demonic beings to one human man.

Directed by filmmaker Park Jin-pyo (Brave Citizen, Love Forecast) with scripts penned by Jo Yi-soo, SBS’s The Judge from Hell is slated for fourteen episodes and premieres on September 21 in the Friday-Saturday slot.

I always find 14 episode dramas hopeful. It’s not a super common number, so I always hope that the number of episodes was chosen because that was the amount of story the writers had, instead of shoving the whole thing into 12 episodes and rushing the finale or drawing it out into 16 and giving us a bout of noble idiocy or something. Excited to see how this turns out!
