Park Shin Hye and Kim Jae Young Teams Up for "The Judge from Hell" | Episodes 1 and 2 Review

I think I found a new Kdrama that would entertain me every Fri-Sat of the week. This became the replacement of "Good Partner" in SBS timeslot. Just saw the first 2 episodes and I'm already caught by it. I find it really satisfying the way judge Kang Bit Na/Justitia punishes those cruel criminals by making them experience what they did to their victims. Well this happens when the criminal refuses to admit their sins and repenting from it. The cool part is that, they are all going to hell. Bad guys deserved to rot in there.

The story is about Justitia who is the Goddess of Justice. She became a demon in the form of Kang Bit Na when she entered the human world. Due to some mistake of giving verdict to someone who isn't a murderer, Bael (the director of hell) got mad and gave her task to make up for her mistake. The task is to bring 10 evil human souls to hell in a span of 1 year in order for her to come back to her usual self. Since Kang Bit Na made a mistake with Kang Bit Na's soul, she uses her body to work on this task.

She already sent 1 soul to hell and while in the process of doing that, she met a detective named Han Da On. Last scene of episode 2, Kang Bit Na has set her eyes on him to be her second target to lessen one person on her list. But will she make it? That's what we're about to know in the next episode!

It has a good start. I'm loving this drama already especially how funny Kang Bit Na is and her cruelty adds up to her character. I'm wondering what Han Da On would do to change Kang Bit Na's cruelty. Will he be able to make her sympathize with humans?

The Judge from Hell is doing great with the ratings as well. It recorded 6.8% and 9.3% in the nationwide viewership ratings for its episodes 1 and 2 respectively. Considering that this is the time slot of a hit drama Good Partner before, this ratings is actually expected. I'm pretty sure a lot got hooked with it already so hopefully the ratings would skyrocket too in the upcoming episodes.
