3/5
The Devil Judge, particularly in its early stretches, was a devilishly entertaining show that derived thrilling catharsis from its live court shows, and was led by Ji Sung, who gives a coolly confident turn. Go to Full Review

WN K Apr 17 It has replaced Vincenzo as my top k-drama… maybe tied. :) As someone else said, it’s hard not to binge watch. I had some late nights. The acting was fantastic, and I felt myself rooting for people and I didn’t know if I should be. It made me a fan of Ji Sung, to where I’m seeking out more of his roles. So many twists and no overwhelming romance. At least, nothing that made me nauseous. 😊 Highly recommended! See more 07/20/2022 Excellent storyline. Ji Sung is the most charismatic Korean male lead ever! Breathtaking art direction - heartbreaking music. Absolute favourite of 2021! And the dysytopic world where the story takes place is coming guys, no question. Be prepared. See more 03/04/2022 One of the best dramas ever! The chemistry between the characters is amazing! It literally keeps you hooked at every second.💞 See more 01/22/2022 I really really loved the group dynamics of the character and the writers courage to play with genderspecific traits in characters in favor of a more modern storyline. The cinematography was also breathtaking and - well - amazing. Well skilled actors inhabited their roles well and make u feel and hope for a "happy" ending for them. Whether or not the drama delivers that in the end is much up to your viewing pleasure. Forgot to mention the musical score which was brilliant. See more 01/22/2022 This dystopian legal drama is full of suspense and mystery! I was on the edge of my seat watching it. Yohan (played by Jisung), Gaon (played by Jinyoung GOT7) and the rest of the cast portrayed their roles superbly! Amazing actors and actresses! They made me cry, was so frustrated at times, was a roller coaster ride of emotions until the end. A bonus is the drama's beautiful cinematography. I hope you can check The Devil Judge and watch how the story unfolds! See more 01/21/2022 This excellent legal drama set in a futuristic version of Soul is unexpected, but also fun and surprisingly twisted in both characters and storyline. The Devil Judge introduces four fantastic leads - two male and two female who do not follow the usual at predictable route for gender characters but challenge the viewers expections. Jinsung as Kang Yo-han, a chief judge who punishes the dishonest with no mercy. However maintains a mysterious background and conceals his true motivations and ambitions. Kim Min-jung as Jung Sun-ah, Yo-han's greatest rival, born in a low-income family and used to be a servant in Yo-han's mansion, but now works for the Social Responsibility Foundation (SRF) and holds enough power to influence the leaders of society. But also look out for Park Jin-young as Kim Ga-on/Kang Isaac, an associate judge on the Live Court Show, who believes in obtaining justice through constitutional means. Hi. And the great acting by Park Gyu-young as Yoon Soo-hyun. See more Read all reviews
