"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.

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."

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.

I hope whoever is reading knows I am tackling the project and the script, not targeting the actors. They are truly my favorite part of the show and the reason I stuck around. Ji Sung is so much fun to watch that even when the script is super frustrating, he’s still so captivating that you can’t stop watching. He truly carried this drama with his performance. He is truly one of the best actors of South Korea, he’s on a different level. Kim Min Jung is chef’s kiss. I just love her, the character was beyond f-ed up but she made her appear so human and it was beautiful to watch. The way she converses with Ji Sung and their banters, it’s amazing. They had great chemistry too which helped a lot. Personally speaking, I think they had the best on-screen chemistry with each other. Jinyoung is truly a star in the making, he’s improved a lot and is on his way to becoming one of the biggest actors if he continues to make the right choices. He had a difficult task ahead of him, he had to do a lot to match Ji Sung’s energy and acting, and he delivered. His performance made me tolerate an immensely annoying character, that’s not easy to do. It goes without saying, everyone did so darn well. EVERYONE. I want to highlight an actor I know some won’t mention, the actor who plays the role of the president is A STAR. O.M.G. Actor Baek Hyun Jin is a master. He’s such a good actor, I’ve seen him in taxi driver too earlier this year and he plays bad characters in both dramas but he’s managed to distinguish them from each other so well, he’s truly talented. I hope he gains more fans through this project, fans who will see past the annoying insufferable character that he played. I can’t wait for his next project. “The Devil Judge” is imperfectly perfect, it’s filled with plot holes and inconsistencies, it has some deeply annoying characters that are such because you can tell the screenwriter needed to work harder on them, but it is still so darn fun. Frustrating can still be fun. This is a drama that I’d recommend to anyone who is a fan of any of the actors in this project. Even if you’re not, if you like law-related kdramas that tackle corruption and the effects of social media on today’s society, this will be a fun watch."

So, from the comments of some viewers, it can be seen that they did not understand the intention of the creator of the drama. In my opinion, this is not the fault of the script, which was good, but of the viewers themselves. The writer clearly refers to this in an interview. The Devil Judge is like a mirror in my opinion. How we react to characters shows us who we are, and sometimes the image of the viewer's "soul" is not beautiful. If this opinion hurts someone, it will only show that it hit the nail on the head.
Screenwriter Moon: “I was terrified at how much the world has changed amid the pandemic. [Who would have imagined] the president of the world’s leading superpower claiming that medical experts are spreading fake news, with supporters going wild and attacking Congress?”
“[In the show] people cheered for the dark hero as it represented the anger they have toward society,” said Moon. “But can Kang’s final trial really be considered a trial? (... spoiler...).”
“Dystopia is where authority becomes religion and religion becomes authority as well,” said Moon. “The courtroom is the place that shows the public making a hero of Kang but he takes advantage of their blind faith in him. I used religious overtones in the names to add a tragic sentiment. "
Moon: “Society becomes dominated by violence, extremism and hate when the public becomes angry and the media and political authority amplify these feelings,”
Moon added. “The world of ‘The Devil Judge’ symbolizes a scary place where there is no answer other than Kang.” “People who think they are similar to Kang are actually like Heo Joong-se [the on-screen President of Korea who is played by actor Baek Hyun-jin] in real life.”
“Humans are vulnerable to temptation, which is why constitutionalism matters,” said Moon. “Toward the end of the series, Judge Kim asked, ‘What do I need to do to make a world without Kang in it?’ That was the ultimate question I wanted to ask.”
In the midst of it all, Moon found redemption in “love” itself. The scene Moon put most effort in to was when Yoon Soo-hyun (played by actor Park Gyu-young), Kim’s childhood friend and police detective who tried to expose Kang, is (... spoiler...) but still worries about Kim even when she is (... spoiler...). Yoon was Kim’s only friend who was there for him throughout his childhood as an orphan. “It was a scene where I wanted to portray the only person [in Kim’s life] that loved him unconditionally and gave him the will to live,” said Moon.
Moon : “A certain portion of the entire world is born as sociopaths, but I still think it would be different if everyone has at least one person in their life that truly loves them.”
"All in all, without spoiling anything, I would say I enjoyed The Devil Judge quite a lot. It was a nice rollercoaster with a good cast and even though some characters could’ve been fleshed out better, I cannot say I regret watching it or that I was struggling getting through episodes. The plot was interesting, the main characters with enough chemistry to carry the entire drama on their backs, the cinematography was fantastic and the OSTs were incredible. Zeenan’s What you gonna do is literally still keeping me alive and I am thankful. Could The Devil Judge been more? Yes, it could’ve developed into something even better, especially during the episodes prior to the last one, but I still enjoyed it and think it’s a good pick for anyone who loves this genre and these actors."

"Devil Judge' became a hot topic with the excellent acting skills of the actors who made even the unrealistic setting understand. Ji-sung proved his wide acting spectrum by going back and forth between a maddened dark hero, a wounded young man, and a cold-hearted strategist, and Kim Min-jung perfectly portrayed Jeong Seon-ah, a villain who commits all kinds of evil with her bright face. Jinyoung, who excelled in the dual roles of Kim Ga-on and Kang Isaac, and Park Gyu-young, who aroused sympathy from viewers by playing the role of a police officer, were also well received. Writer Moon Yoo-seok said, "Really, all the actors gave brilliant performances. In fact, 'Devil Judge' is a chaotic story full of heterogeneous elements. In an exaggerated dystopian setting like a cartoon, the narrative of a classic tragedy, theatrical written dialogue, and intentional discomfort. The reason I was able to put and push these elements that I like excessively was because I believed in the actors. Without the intelligent actors Ji-sung and Kim Min-jung, who could have saved the unique characters of Kang Ha-han and Jeong Seon-ah? Jinyoung and Park Gyu-young, who brilliantly played a difficult role suffering from fate; Jang Young-nam, Nae-sang, and Baek Hyun-jin, who played mad villains with different personalities; and Kim Jae-kyung, who played a simple but sympathetic character. In addition to that, the excellent acting of all the actors (...)." https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/article/609/0000486657
"According to writer Moon Yoo Seok, ‘The Devil Judge’ was originally planned as a 20-part series." “In the first draft of the script, there was a scene where Isaac tried to take his own life for Yohan. It was because he thought that his father would not abuse Yohan when he was gone.” “When I made characters, I ignored gender at all… Cha Kyunghee is just an ambitious power figure, and Yoon Soohyun is just a detective who wants to protect his first love. Both are familiar characters that appear a lot as men in Korean dramas.” “On the contrary, Kim Gaon's role is often given to female characters. Characters locked in conventional gender roles are obvious and uninteresting” "Writer Moon Yooseok: If many people love 'The Devil Judge', we can make a follow-up season. If such an opportunity arises, it will be interesting to try it out with a more lighthearted action tone like "Sherlock" or "Lupin."

Crime & Punishment was meant to make readers think about themselves and humanity, the way we view the world, greed, and redemption. Because it centers on crime, it isn’t supposed to make the reader feel easy about themselves or their fellow man. It isn’t supposed to make you feel great at the end.

"I saw the viewers’ anger over Ga On’s betrayal in The Devil Judge, and while I know many may disagree, I understood why Ga On did it. I also understood why Yo Han, though heartbroken, remained loyal to Ga On. Because the same way I know why Ga On did it is the same way Yo Han understood why Ga On did it. Both Yo Han and Ga On are betrayed in awful ways, and weirdly, this created an even tighter bond between them. Ga On lived in a world of illusion created by people he thought he owed his future and life to.
