my style of drama
i love this!!!! give me 10 more!!!!this is how u make a show about demons (all shade to my demon). she was truly demonic and did demonic deeds. the premise was also good. it was very satisfactory to see the criminals get punished. the gore was good too. sometimes the violence was too graphic but still it was good.
THE ROMANCE. this is what i want from dramas. the way do-an is slightly interested in her in the beginning then he hates her, to following her to expose her and in turn actually liking her and understanding her. bit-na becoming his source of comfort and her becoming so WEAK for him. perfect. the angst? amazing. wish we could have had more but still im happy.
park shin-hye absolutely rocked this role. her expressions and fits were amazing. 10/10 performance.
i don't know if a season 2 would work well though. one of the main reasons this was fun was because there were 2 chases happening, bit-na with the criminals and do-an trying to prove its bit-na whose doing it. it wouldn't be fun now that do-an will have to protect her instead of arresting her

Drama comedy horror 8.5
Concluso anche questo drama ....È iniziato in maniera sconvolgente..abbiamo visto tutta la furia di justitia nel compiere i suoi giudizi sui peccatori degni dell'inferno in maniera macabra e senza pietà come è giusto che fosse, il tutto sono riusciti sempre a condirlo con un po di ironia che smorzava i toni lugubri..
Piano piano però c'è stata una trasformazione netta del nostro personaggio che vivendo con gli umani ha incominciato a immedesimarsi nel loro dolore, a provare pietà e compassione, diventando sempre di più umana...
Grazie sicuramente al nostro detective che non mollandola un secondo l'ha resa più buona, l'amore può cambiare anche il cuore del più perverso ... e il finale che volevamo è arrivato ...
Tutti hanno ricevuto la loro punizione ...justitia grazie all'angelo è tornata per il suo giudizio finale e devo dire che le bare bianche davanti all'assassino hanno commosso parecchio....
Il bacio 🔥 non ci ha lasciato indifferenti dato che lo abbiamo aspettato per 14 episodi 😂....
Sono soddisfatta? Si e no...amo il fantasy anche i più crudi...però mi piace che ogni cosa abbia il suo senso ... la scomparsa del vero giudice mi irrita non si sa sta povera donna dove sia finita...fuggiva tra i corridoi dell'inferno e poi???? ...
Justitia prende il corpo di kang bitna...perché quando muore non torna se stessa??? Almeno all'inferno merita il suo aspetto.... e Lucifero?? Le concede di vivere da umana se manda altri 10 peccatori all'inferno? Mi sembra un po forzato.... e mi spiace dirlo ma il detective in questo episodio perde di grinta ....sembra un po fantoccio ..... poi venato era stato mandato sulla terra perché gli era scappata bitna all'inferno...ora il suo nuovo ruolo?? E il segretario che non vuole ritornare all'inferno ma andare in paradiso ...in sostanza sono stati tutti puniti sulla terra e mo fanno cosa vogliono??? L'unica vincolata da tutto era solo justitia??? Tutte ste regole e poi....
Per questo il mio voto finale è 8.5 sopratutto per gli effetti speciali e la recitazione di park shin hye lei da 10! La storia in sé avrei voluto qualcosa di più... sono controcorrente ma è quello che penso...ma merita di essere visto quello senz'altro!!!

An addicting drama not going to lie
I really enjoyed this drama most especially Park Shinhye and her wonderful acting. I would love a s 2nd seasons. I watched for Park Shinhye and stayed for Kim Jaeyoung. I've never seen him in a drama before but I will be on the lookout for his new projects and watching his older ones.The story does take a turn towards the end that seem a bit unsatisfying, but the drama is still a good one. Oh and holy crap LeeKyuhan's acting had me screaming. He really does play his role perfectly. I would say definitely watch this one.

This is the best mystery,comedy,little love and thriller drama of the year till November beacuse of well played drama of judge kang bitna.In reality, the judge of hell is very harsh and cruel, but if he finds someone to love him, he too becomes as delicate as a butterfly's wings and this is really happened between kang bitna and Han daon.
That's it

Beautifully written storyline!!
I loved the storyline honestly, alot of people said some things were pathetic but that is their opinion. I love the fact that even after Kang Bin na started to feel more human-like they did not falter her judgements towards the criminals. And ofcourse she is a demon, her main task was to kill the sinners, no matter how.The chemistry between Bin na and Daon however did feel slightly forced, they looked cute together. It was perfect when they were secretly falling for eachother but in the last episode it felt a bit forced and awkward.
However both the actors gave their best. Executed their roles perfectly and no one else would have fit better than them!!

Fierce and complicated characters
This story was incredible. The two leads did a great job and played very complicated characters who were interesting to learn about. This drama was full of action and tension and satisfying revenge and I loved it! It dragged a tiny bit towards the middle for me, but then picked up the pace and I completely forgot it ever dragged because I couldn't get enough! This drama was well written and well executed and I highly recommend it if you like intense stories with layers and not just your typical romance!Was this review helpful to you?

Another hit starring Park Shin Hye.
"A demon whose mission is to kill evil people who lead other people to their deaths and don't reflect on their actions". There are some dramas that you know are going to be a hit the moment you read the synopsis, and this was one of them. Park Shin Hye being the lead was a cherry on top.The plot of the drama was truly outstanding. It's very common to see a devil go out of character as the story develops but the writers made Justitia stay true to her character till the end. The character development throughout the drama was very consistent and satisfying. There was no rush in the episodes and everything was brought together really well. The scenes where she punishes the perpetrator were so satisfying to watch!! They each got exactly what they deserved! Seeing how they were punished exactly the way they treated the victims gives the viewers a different kind of satisfaction.
The cast did a great job bringing their characters to life. Park Shin Hye as always surpassed my expectations. Seeing her in her girl-boss era really shows her versatility. She always did justice to her roles but she outshined herself with the role of Justitia. The rest of the cast also did amazing with each of their roles.
The only downside I can think of for this drama is the romance aspect of it. At first it was kind of fun seeing how Justitia found Han Da On fun to play around with but turning it into a romance was not actually necessary, in my opinion. The story could have panned out well even without the romance between the two main characters. Their chemistry as the police officer and demon was top-notch but as lovers, it didn't really stand out.
Overall the drama was one of the best dramas to air in 2024. I would recommend it as on of the must-watch dramas of this year. If you are looking for a fantasy, revenge drama to satisfy your demon side, I would recommend watching this!

Must watch
I really enjoyed this one.Good storytelling and great acting. Park Shin Hye shined. It’s too bad that she was typecast in “pity me, look i cry pretty” roles early in her career. But she definitely showed her doubters in this series that she’s one of the best actresses in the industry.

Is there such a thing as a Christian Horror? Refreshing Old Tropes
Horror is a genre frequently described as meant to "hurt its audience"; it's supposed to evoke "negative" feelings such as disgust, dread, fright, squeamishness. To that end, authors use a particular set of tools to evoke particular sets of feelings, and since there are so many horrors, nothing new ever really happens.There are three main things to like about this show. The refreshing of Old Tropes common to these kinds of stories. Combining tropes that normally not put together for this kind of show to give it a feel of creativity and newness. The use of skilled and experienced actors to give life to old material.
So, what you get here is a crime serial that combines tropes from several other genres to give the show a fresh feel. To say more is to spoil some of the twists the authors placed within the story. By placing these tropes within a crime serial and connecting it to cosmic justice made it enjoyable, even when some events are predictable. Since there are still surprises, and twists and turns to take us to the climax. The predictability did not make it boring. It was smart of the author, "even if we know where all this must end, what interesting and surprising ways can we get there. The twist is in the journey rather than the outcome. We are working with Character twists and character journey twists rather than plot twists.
We have interesting and likable and loathsome characters. We have a plain, common setting. We have a serial plot with lots of room to grow and the possibility of expansion. So, on technical merits it scores high. Good Characters. Mid Setting. Good Plot. Mild Gore. Good Music. Great Actors, and at times mind blowing acting. So how do we deal with a "plain, common, setting."? The author extends it. Indicating some mysteries beyond our typical Korean city, hiding beneath the surface. I truly wish the author, and actors might have been afforded more time to flesh out the world more and explore more intricate story and plot arcs. It would have done wonders to make the setting more interesting. The other experienced and skilled actors might have also gotten time to show their skills more.
There is another merit to this work the person watching for entertainment might not consider. The show is great. Watch it. The best production of 2024. The Plot, Setting and Characters together are interesting, even though separately mid. That is my review as a piece of entertaining K-Drama.
The real meat of the show is in the philosophy of the work, the thinkers and ideas I think were adopted for the inspiration of the story; and the themes explored. Divine Providence, Cosmic Justice and Legal Justice. If we take C.S. Lewis (Screwtape Letters, till we have faces) Dostoevsky (The Demons) and the Bible as launching pad. This work is an excellent piece of death education, philosophical theodicy to the problem of justice and interesting challenge to moral nihilism and how legal justice is powerless in the face of it all. There are things seemingly played for laughs or to show the quirkiness of the characters that turn out to be significant. What is it that can change "Dostoevsky style demons"? Can it be related to the silence of God? What is hell like to the soul given to depravity?
The first watch, it's a fun serial, with laughs and tears. The second watch is more serious. A Christian horror tackling the silence of God and Cosmic justice. So, watch it, and if you get a chance afterwards; read "the Screwtape letters", "Till We have Faces" and if you can stomach it add "The Demons". Then watch it again.
If you really have time, and love reading (all by C.S. Lewis), you can throw in
The Weight of Glory
The Great Divorce
The Problem of Pain
Miracles
The Final Battle (The last book of the Chronicles of Narnia)
The Abolition of Man
To further the appreciate the philosophical and theological depths of this drama. I might even be inspired to give a spoiler review for those who might want to watch it a second time and look out for interesting stuff.

I wouldn't say it's the best kdrama of the year but it's a really good one
Story: I think the entire punish the sinner thing is dumb. But the rest of the stories and the rest of the plot was good. There were a few moments I felt like were rushed. Bael felt forced. But overall it was good. It felt like they wanted to put and do a lot of things but didn't have the time for it.Acting: Everyone did a great job and Park Shin Hye was incredible! She delivered the emotions and the charisma of the character perfectly. Also Kim Jae Young did an incredible job. Their chemistry together was insane. They really complement eo.
I do have a problem but it's not with the acting as much as it's with the casting. Many of the actors looked like their characters' real self. What I mean is that I could tell if they were a bad guy or a guy that did bad things out of fear. Like no surprises but it's not because the story is lacking but just because I get what they are from their looks.
Directing: Good! The ferris wheel scene was so beautiful.
Editing: The image of the broken leg and finger was so fake it hurts. The flying from the slap or just flying in general was so bad. I felt like I could see the wires (but Idk if it's editing or smt they should've fixed when filming), same with the falling of the cliff.
Choreography: Fun. I enjoyed the fight scenes. The actors sold it and it's impressive to watch the bts.
Overall it's good.
