"He will be joining the cast of the upcoming films "High Five" and "The Angel Without, The Devil Within." The first film is in the process of shooting, the second film is already shot, waiting for the premiere. Yoo Babi, the character played by Jinyoung in "Yumi's cells" will appear in Season 1 Episode 8 - tomorrow's episode.
Tale of the Nine Tailed (2020) was rated 5.8 https://asianwiki.com/Tale_of_the_Nine_Tailed and there are plans for the next seasons (2 & 3) so maybe The Devil Judge has a chance for season 2 as well.
The first half of 2021 was an incredible time for K-Dramas, and the second half boasts of some interesting upcoming and ongoing titles too. A common trend among dramas this year so far has been the casting of idol actors. While many viewers express skepticism about idol actors, there is no doubt about the fact that they're powerhouses of talent. (...)
Here are 5 Korean idol actors who wowed the audience with their outstanding performances in some of the best K-Dramas this year! (...)
(...) GOT7 Jinyoung - 'The Devil Judge'
Jinyoung's character Kim Ga On was one of the best-written characters in 'The Devil Judge,' and he did complete justice to the same. It could not have been an easy task to represent the contrasting characteristics of Ga On's naivete and determination, his oscillation between doing what's right and following his instincts, and, more importantly, the depth of his grief. Jinyoung truly proved his command over acting with this role. (...)" Source: https://www.allkpop.com/article/2021/09/5-k-pop-idols-who-ruled-k-dramas-in-2021
"If there was one word to describe this TVN show, “nail-biting” would be it. The fierce battle of good vs. evil, with each character choosing one side and switching in a heartbeat, pretty much sums the exciting journey that the ‘The Devil Judge’ takes you on." (...) (...)"The show stands out from the rest due to three main reasons, first being the detailed and intriguing plot."(...) (...)"The second reason being the groundbreaking cinematography. Out of all Korean dramas I have watched so far, ‘Mr. Sunshine’ holds the first place in cinematography, and ‘The Devil Judge’ comes as a close second."(....) (...) "The third being of course, Judge Kang himself. Ji Sung, the actor playing the role of Judge Kang Yo-han, is without a doubt one of the most complex characters that has ever been written in K-drama history. " Spurce: https://whatahanawatchesontv.wordpress.com/2021/09/20/the-devil-judge/
"Throughout the series Yo-han gains a few allies as well, like assistant judge Kim Ga-on. Even though a supporting role, Ga-on manages to stand out from the rest, as he is both a friend and a foe to Yo-han. He aides Yo-han in his pursuit for justice, but pulls him back when his punishments become too extreme. There is an underlying chemistry between Yo-han and Ga-on, that can easily rival even the most passionate love stories. The banter in between them, whether it’s a joking matter or a hardcore fight, contains a spark which is hard to miss. Even he has to go through heartbreak and loss in order to fulfill Yo-han’s agenda, which shows that not all supporting characters need to be sidelined just to push forward with the story."

Writer Moon: "So, the dystopia in The Devil Judge has already reached the peak of such a nightmare to the point that its citizens can't come together in solidarity to solve issues. It's scary and sad how they come to rely on the outrageous measures taken by Yo-han." Source: https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2021/09/688_315543.html?tw
Moon, writer (and former judge) of "The Devil Judge" (2021): "Mania for Dark Heroes is the rage of citizens at a system that doesn't work properly. The problem is that when that anger begins to run rampant, the media and political power amplify it and abuse it, it becomes a society dominated by violence, extremism and hate. The world of 'The Devil Judge' is a hypothetical dystopia where the nightmare has already reached its peak, and even the power to solve problems through healthy solidarity of citizens has disappeared. It's a very scary and sad world in a world where there is no proper alternative other than the forced prescription of extreme drugs. It's not too late yet, so I wanted to talk about not creating such a world. Citizens do not want those in responsible positions such as politics, justice, and the media to become dark heroes. They just want to do their job quietly and make a world that doesn't need Dark Heroes. Most of those who mistakenly believe that they are forced are actually just vain."
"I'm curious about the background that created the character of a judge who punishes evil with evil. What was the message you wanted to convey as a result?

In the drama, the villains are (...spoiler...) and the new elites who take their place also show behaviors not that different from before. In the end, it will be slow, but true change will come only when the system is completely changed through the efforts of many people.

But this is not a matter of disrespect, but of reality. Some people will never understand the views of other people or the writer. Their life experience, knowledge about the world and personal experiences will not allow it. This is not a sentence that belittle someone, but states the facts that different people approach life differently depending on who they are. Therefore, some people will never understand a writer's thoughts.
Uhmm why tho..? Seems they dont really care for the TV rating since its already a popular drama by app?"
