When Demons Judge

What would a demon judge be like? Picture a mischievous whirlwind—wicked, cheeky, and delightfully chaotic—spreading confusion while serving up hellish punishments to those who truly deserve it. Enter Justitia/ Kang Bit Na, played brilliantly by Park Shin Hye, who nails this wild spirit!

What really sets this drama apart is its bold and entertaining take on demon characters and their antics. Each emotional storyline packs a punch, diving into their darker, more violent sides without any apologies. Yet, it maintains a perfect balance with a light-heartedness that keeps things fun and engaging. Even as Justitia navigates human emotions and falls for the male lead, Han Da On, she never loses that badass edge.

I've struggled to connect with Park Shin Hye in her previous roles, but her portrayal as Justitia/ Kang Bit Na is truly impressive. It's refreshing to see her break free from typecasting! She’s a powerhouse of strength wrapped in vulnerability, sprinkled with love, and her performance genuinely stands out. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed her emotional scenes!

The strong supporting cast, featuring Kim In Kwon, Yang Kyung Won, Kim Jae Hwa (alongside her real-life sisters) and many more, adds even more depth to the story. My only complaint? Lee Kyu Han's acting. His character, Jung Tae Gyu, comes off a bit one-dimensional, almost as if there's glue stuck on his face. He doesn't quite capture the insane, evil, or unhinged vibe that his character is supposed to embody.

Overall, this drama is a wild ride with plenty of twists and engaging moments!
