Wow! This is a Park Shin-hye character I've been waiting to see! I am not ashamed to admit I enjoyed the beat the Bad Boyfriend scene way too much! She ate that scene and left no crumbs!! I can't wait for more!

Glad to see Shin Sung Rok on screen again, wish he's more than a cameo though, because I want more scenes and I need to know why is his character a spider 🤣

Anyways, I enjoyed ep 1-2. Looking forward to see more Bit Na and hopefully more Sungrok~

"metaphorically dead"

As always, no body not dead.

This show wasn’t even in my radar but was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
Park Shin-hye Slayed this role. It was fun to watch the courtroom scenes and her cola can!!

The violence was disturbing yet I found myself enjoying that he was tasting his own deeds. It was a conflicting 10 minutes.
After having seen a million times on TV such violence being enacted on women it was weirdly cathartic to see that a man was being shown to be receiving this treatment. I was conflicted, a LOT.

I am looking forward to more badass PSH aka Demon. And all the conflicts that would arise between her and the righteous police officer. I don’t care for a romance.

Park Shin-hye is delightfully evil here. And, not gonna lie, that 10 minute sequence of her just beating the crap out of the abuser? Yeah, I enjoyed every minute of that.

Do-an having "killed" before was such an obvious plot point because of the whole premise, but I admit, I wasn't expecting it to happen this early, and I definitely wasn't expecting her to kill him already. Oh, well, see you in hell.

I had 0 expectations going into this, maybe thats why i loved the first episodes so much.

Park Shin-hye is fabulous!! (and suprisingly hilarious)

Definately sticking around, lets hope the drana maintains its momentum and sticks its landing.

I've only seen 1 episode and my first thought was wow, that Disney budget at work haha. Good gravy, does this look expensive haha. I wonder why it's airing a week later on Hulu (US). The same thing happened with No Way Out: The Roulette.

Park Shin Hye said this has some Dante Inferno inspiration. I don't know much about its depiction of Hell except I think it has different levels or rings. Don't know where murderers place.

I don't know if I'm into this because I kept looking to see how much time was left. I just hate the drawing out the comeuppence and also I kept getting in my head about how SK women really are just not valued. The way abuse and assault cases are treated is just ridiculously offensive to victims.

Someone on here said SK has a low recidivism rate and if that's true, kudos to them but it's hard to imagine certains crimes, such as assaults, not being perpetrated again.

Sorry to be such a downer.

One moment that did make me chuckle was when the judge was speaking to the kids and she had them saying "justice is dead! Who needs it" and the reactions of the people around them. Actually, the whole scene with the kids was cute and chuckleworthy to me.

I LOVED IT. I especially appreciate how more dramas are showing how bad domestic violence is. PSH is so much fun in this role.

This drama is delightfully bonkers with flashes of campiness. I'm enjoying it so far (including the fittingly brutal comeuppance of that domestic abuser - he deserved it. I said what I said.)

I have a feeling that Writer-nim is setting things up for Bit-Na to inadvertently doing good while being evil. But will that affect her street cred in Gehenna/Hell?

I must say that this is also the first role in which I really like Park Shin-Hye. She's chewing the scenery and giving no f*cks!

Unfortunately, I will not be seeing this one- too many video subscriptions as it is.

I'm happily surprised!

1. By the comments it's obvious that we're all on the same page. Shin Hye unnie is rocking this role!
I just love Justitia/Bit Na.

2. Like a said in a post, I feel like the writer was angry... And I liked it.
This case felt more like a revenge story.

I loved the emphasis the show made about not being necessary for the victim to be physically dead, for them to be, you know, dead. And also the way they kept giving a few kicks to the legal system.

Min Jeong lost her entire life even if she was "alive". But no one would help her. The law would let her abuser go around free tomorrow or in a year. It didn't matter, he would go back anyway. And even when she was being "protected" he managed to break the only place she had left and attack her again.

Everyone kept getting angry at Bit Na because she let the guy go just like that, but the real problem is that she was able to do that. She didn't use any "demon" tricks for that. The law made by the humans let her do that. When her hoobae said that they weren't any other judges that would be as trash as her, the drama showed us one. Because what happened in these episodes is what happens in real life without the help of a pretty demon with fashion sense.

So, yeah, this felt like a revenge story for everyone out there living such a reality. I liked that. Especially in this era "revenge" stories that end with revictimization.

3. I guess this isn't the best way to start a romance, with all that stabbing and stuff, but tbh, I have no idea how this is going to work between a detective and a demon in the process of becoming a serial killer.
I mean, he seemed ready to kill the abuser with his own hands, but in this type of stories the ML is there just to be judgy and tell the FL she should be "nice and positive" and that "humans are good people on the inside"

It would be a pleasant surprise if he doesn't become that type of ML. Especially because I don't want Bit Na to become all soft and nice.
I want her to keep making kids chant "justice is dead" and yelling "NO" at her boss.

PS. was I the only one reminded of the villain of early 00's spiderman the second Bael entered the room? LOL the CGI looks the same.

Oh!! Btw, who wants to bet the ex-fiance and/or his dad are the ones who killed OG Bit Nah?
*Plot twist it was the ML and now they're even*

Really liked it. Park Shin-hye was clearly having fun and so was I! I even liked the intro cameos and hilarious CGI!

I think this drama might actually be a better look into vigilantism than Vigilante because the accidental vigilante here has no tragic backstory, is entirely self-serving, and is not above leaving victims to die (metaphorically or otherwise!) as long as it creates the conditions she needs.

Whoa! I am taken in by the opening episodes!! I'm now wondering if Do An will also go to hell and come back as some kind of supernatural, like Bit Na did, in order to pit one against the other. Should be good to see these two go up against one another.
I've only see Park Shin Hye in Dr. Plump, which was so meh for me, so it's great to see her as such a bada$$ in this one.

I have been on the fence with this but decided to still watch to see how it goes. And....I really like Park Shin Hye in this! Gasp! I know! It feels like a breath of fresh air from the candy roles she has been known for. I am all for her Kang Bit Na/Justitia role.
I also enjoyed the cameos of Oh Nara and Shin Sung Rok. They were both gorgeously styled for their characters.
I am not sure where we go from how ep2 ended. I hope it will be an interesting one.

Park Shinhye is nailing her role but Idk..I felt something off throughout these episodes. It's the direction or the editing 🤔. Some scenes felt forced just for the drama like killing the detective? Why would she stab him without any research like she did with her first victim. Overall It's not bad cgi is good but I'm not sure. We'll see.

First - it's NOT streaming in US so it makes me so mad. Disney, what's the deal?!!

Anyway, I went over to dark side and watched it anyway. And boy, I didn't realise I would have so much fun. Shin Hye is rocking it crazy 😂 I didn't expect she would be so much fun.

The style choice of the drama, though understandable, is a bit choppy and over dramatic. CGI is not quite on point. But the interactions are so much fun that I am OK to forgive it. Just one episode down.

I loved the choice of the first case. And I am so glad SK is doing so much to bring this mainstream.

Will catch the 2nd one sometime soon and will be back.

It's ever so campy
PSH, oh so vampy
It ain't first class
Still, I'm having a blast

Was anyone reminded of Supernatural, the American show? It has a similar camp Gothic vibe and violence. It has a smorgasbord of beliefs: invented, Christian and ancient Greek. (I wouldn't be surprised if Buddhism and Shamanism also pop up.) It also has a somewhat B grade vibe to it as some have noted.

Tho nothing second class about PSH. When she tilts her head and gives a mocking look with her wing-tipped eyes... 🪭 Yup, that's a fan I'm needing. I'm hoping KJY soon gets in the game, and then we'll need two 🪭🪭 because it'll be as hot as, ahem, hell, or gehenna, or whatever.

I think the comedy parts worked better than the serious ones. The whole punishing part was way too long and at the same time too fast to really feel the abuser's fear. I wonder she came back in a human body if she still has all her powers. What was the point?

It's fun to see PSH and KIK still comploting about her identity. The last time, he disguised as an idol, this time as a Judge! It's not as funny to see her confess she's a demon as it was in Lucifer.

The writing is really cheesy. I am lactose intolerant.

@missvictrix super recap!
Bit-na's lesson for next week...think first kill later.

The cameos were totally ten on ten. Eleven even!!😅 Surely Bael’s tentacles deserve an extra point. 🤣

Indeed the theology part is pretty questionable and even though I knew the whole show is about sending the unrepentant murderers to Hell, actually seeing the said unrepentant behaviour caught me unawares and it was difficult to watch the abuse even though we knew Justice (or rather Justitia) is coming for him. 🙌🏻 ⚖️ The justice of making him endure what the victim went through was equally icky but satisfying. Also Justice Kang’s coat cum shorts designer suit while meting out said justice!! 😅😂 Well what can I say … now I’m a fan. 🤷‍♀️🤣

Judge Kang’s court while not totally a kangaroo court is a fun sort of place - or so we thought during Detective Han Doan’s trial. Surely he was as captivated as us. While we did try to bear with her it seems Justitia literally stabbed (although not in the back) the ML and our trust. Hope they maintain the dark humor but not too much footage to carrying out the remaining nine murders please. 🙏

I love Park Shin-hye and Kim Jae-young, but I think this is just too violent for me.

Hoping Bael pops up in every episode. Lowkey hoping he takes over ML body, have 2 supernaturals punishing evil. Maybe Bael can use one of his tentacles as a puppet master 😂.

I also have an ultra low tolerance for overly religious themed shows, but willing to give this one a chance if they just stick to punishing criminals and stay away from corny religious soapboxing.

Park Shin-hye is having fun with the role and I am having fun with this drama. HOWEVER, was it necessary to depict the brutal physical abuse of a woman in graphic detail repeatedly?

Oh my! ... this is a really good one ... so many stories within stories. And Kim Jae Young and Park Shin Hye are knockin' it out of the park. All the characters are amazing actually. They all fit together seamlessly, and every character moves the plot along. I'm truly enjoying this, and can't wait to see how Kang Bitna and Han Do An are resolved ... and how Arong / Gremory plays into all of this. Clearly a 10/10 for me!

I've been curating an ongoing thread detailing religious instances in this drama through a Christian lens. I started out just doing a running thread, but by the beginning of episode 3, I realized there were just too many instances, so I started doing separate threads and attaching them to the main one.

The majority of comments and scenes are actually referenced in the Bible, and those that seemingly do not are not in sacrilegious conflict with it. Because of the extensive examples, there are bound to be spoilers, so please proceed with caution.

The thread is https://x.com/SandiKT/status/1840729016401109367. Anyone is welcome to DM me to discuss!
