Even though The Devil Judge is set more around politics, both have quite similar plots. Both main leads (Kang Yo Han - ML - in The Devil Judge and Lee Ra El - FL - in Eve) come from a poor background. They both insert themselves into a high society filled with CEOs and other wealthy individuals while driven by revenge. Both want to take down everyone around themselves and aren't afraid to use innocent people to get what they want.
Lee Ra El was a girl who idolized her loving parents – a highly intelligent father and a strikingly beautiful mother. But when cruel forces beyond their control cause her father’s death, her family crumbles. Embittered by this terrible experience, she vows revenge on the super-rich people who orchestrated this terrible tragedy. Her prime target is Kang Yoon Kyum, the CEO of the lucrative LY Group business empire, and one of the ringleaders of the plot that ultimately destroyed her family. Lee Ra El’s weapon of choice is divorce. By placing herself at the center of a legal battle worth a staggering USD 1.6 billion, she hopes to bring Kang Yoon Kyum and LY Group down once and for all. But in order to do so, she will need to wage a bitter legal struggle and fight powerful forces both inside and outside the courtroom. However, this plan has been in the pipelines for 13 years for Lee Ra El, who believes she will use all of her guile to catch Kang Yoon Kyum out when he least expects it. Can revenge bring her the satisfaction she craves – or will it end up consuming her?
This suspense story centers on Kajin Ayame, a lawyer with a promising future but who lives alone. The story begins when a beautiful and seductive man, Minamoto Ieya, appears before her. He believes that "love = possession" and is suspected of domestic violence against his wife, and is under suspicion of murdering a professor at a famous university. The two are instinctively drawn to each other after the incident, and Ayame works hard to prove Toya's innocence.
