The Judge from Hell

지옥에서 온 판사 ‧ Drama ‧ 2024
"The Guest" centers on exorcism and supernatural elements, with characters dealing with demonic possessions and battling dark forces. The plot revolves around three main characters—a psychic, a priest, and a detective—working together to fight an evil spirit known as Sohn, which has left a trail of death and despair. "Judge from the Hell" also explores the supernatural realm, with characters confronting twisted souls and dealing with dark forces. While it focuses more on moral judgment from a supernatural judge figure, it still brings forth themes of vengeance, punishment, and the afterlife.

Both series revolve around the concepts of justice and retribution, especially in terms of punishing wrongdoers. In "Judge from the Hell," the plot implies a supernatural judge presiding over earthly wrongdoers, judging them for their sins. In "The Guest," the idea of justice is more rooted in combating evil and seeking revenge against dark forces, but the theme of justice through unconventional means is still central to the story.

Both series employ a dark, suspenseful tone that keeps the audience on edge. "The Guest" utilizes horror elements and psychological suspense, with frequent intense scenes involving exorcisms and violent confrontations with possessed individuals. "Judge from the Hell" also embraces a dark tone, focusing on the moral ambiguities of punishment and possibly psychological horror, given its judgment-themed supernatural setting.

" The Guest" addresses human sins indirectly through the impact of possession and the demonic influence on people’s darkest tendencies.
"Judge from the Hell" seems to take a direct approach by addressing human sins through a supernatural judge's verdicts, reflecting a similar focus on moral consequences.

Both have FL with lots of sass and attitude. Both work in law. She could not care less about the victims.

Both ML are orphans whose parents were murdered. He suffers from being too much of an empath and cares a lot about the victims. He's initially disappointed at the FL for disregarding the concerns of the victims. The murderer who killed his family comes back and the once empathetic ML begins to lose faith in the law.

The FL begins to become more empathetic and becomes a better lawyer/judge.

It´s the same principe, where the female lead did something bad, but in this one she needs to help a specific amount of people in a specific time. It´s not really brutal, but still gives you a similar feeling watching.

In both dramas judges sentence criminals to experience their own crimes in the role of their victims. Only difference is that Judge from Hell is having supernatural elements while Drama Stage: The Fair is based on a new technology making this possible.

Both dramas are about a set of people that have to fulfil a specific amount of demands in order to be spoken free of their sentence. In both dramas this group of people is either gods or grim reapers that are following/guiding through the judgement of people that have sinned. Both are supernatural stories dealing around death, the after life, hell/heaven, sins and forgiveness.

In both dramas there is a very uncontroversial female judge that is bras, outspoken and following her own rule of justice. While Judge of Hell is also focusing on a supernatural aspect ,that Miss Hammurabi is not, they are still quite similar in terms of theme, characters and feeling.

Kang Bit Na is an elite judge with a beautiful appearance, but she is a demon. Her mission as a demon is to kill evil people who lead other people to their deaths and don't reflect on their actions. She sends these people to Hell afterwards. One day, Kang Bit Na meets Han Da On. He has a friendly and gentle personality. As a detective, his mind is sharp and he has a keen sense of observation. But he carries a pain inside that nobody knows about. After Kang Bit Na and Han Da On meet each other, their lives change greatly.

Both mix cop/procedural and fantasy with a dash of romance.
The tone of Judge from Hell is slightly lighter than Black's but both are fairly similar
Recommended by kiseki
Cold Female Lead. Judging from the synopsis, the FL is a cold character, and I think she's very similar to Oh Soo Jae. If there's one thing that link "The Judge From Hell" and Why Her?", it's the cold character of the FL.
Recommended by Moses ck
- the way the offenders will be punished is the way they committed a crime in both(they experience the same pain/suffer they have given to others)
- the mystry behind cases is also similar
- both drama makes you hesitate that rules and justice doesn't work well in our life

Both series tell the story of saving someone they love, but they are doomed to destruction. In these two dramas, the female character has a special power and wants to save the male character who is in trouble. Both are excellent in their own right.
