A spin off of Jeon So Nee the shaman and her assistant Noh Jae Won will be great 😂. They should give us a least a hug, but I understand they dont doing it because it maybe seem out of place 😂. It just these 2 characters that I enjoyed and attached the most in this series.
Disney+ Korea finally started doing contents with the casts today. The first content can be check on the IG where they doing reel with Park Bo Young and Kim Sung Cheol.
A series/movie with Park Hae Soo and Lee Hee Joon in it will never go wrong. They are the real master of acting in Korea. I never know and read the true case on what this drama based on so it will be more fun and enjoyable to me. Watching the first 2 episodes got me uneasy in a good way. They portray the tension and suspense so good and it make me scared a lot. The setting of 1988 make this so well execute and I feel I live in that time watching this.
* Btw I will never walk alone in the night if my village look like that hahaha, why all road so scary with that rice fields and that tunnel too 😭
Can't believe no nomination for Lee Kwang Soo for his performance in Karma at Baeksang 2026. It seem like Baeksang always take notice of the works that near the dateline not the work that been release quite a long time ago. They said the works that been include are from 1 April 2025 until 31 March 2026 (Karma was release on 4 April 2025) but lot of nominations come from this year and late last year only. Or maybe they exclude him because he already winning the Blue Dragon Series, but tbh doesnt winning that make him deserve the Baeksang nomination more? It make me sad and invoke an anger in me. I hope his performance in Gold Land will land him a nomination for Blue Dragon Series Award this July.
Oh Jung Se character seem pointless and doesnt bring any significant contribution to the main storyline. The flow of the story will still going good and nothing different even if the character been taken out. It weird why he took this role 😭. The others 4 characters were great though. I'm okay with Oh Jung Se character if it been played by someone else. Seeing his name make me thought he will play bigger role in here because it the Oh Jung Se we talking about.
The trailer looks so good and amazing. Can't wait for the drama and my fav Lee Kwang Soo ❤️. He gonna deliver again as a villain this time too 🔥. I just hope his character don't die this time 😭. It because the last 3 characters he as villains he died in all 3 series 😂. Btw, I can't express my happiness when he get a role like this, he deserved it. It seem like the industry there recognise his talent expecially in acting as a villain.
9.5 drama for me 👍. It not easy to make a 16 episodes drama as engaging like this from the start until the end. It a drama that make you cant wait to watch everyweek. I can say non scenes were boring or unnessary. One of the charm of the drama definitely for all the veteran supporting actors here. As for now on this date, this definitely the best drama of 2026 of all the dramas that I had watched this year. The only reason I deduct the 0.5 only because I prefer the reveal of Hong Jang Mi is Hong Geum Bo toward other characters to be more impactful and maybe a little bit more exaggerated or dramatic hahahaha. Because I love to having dopamine rush because of scene like that 😭😂.
They could make it end in Episode 13 and make it Episode 14 a good 1 hour conclusion happy ending for everyone. Instead they choose to add another variables of suddenly Han Young been accussed of and Se Hee betraying him. Now Episode 14 gonna be so rush with all the unfinish things and more likely we get only 5 to 10 minutes of closing on everybody characters. The main storyline with SinJin should end at that gathering scenes with police ambushing but they decide to make him flee just to make this variable happened. Btw, Park Hee Soon acting today was so fire !!!
As of Episode 4, my personal opinion, the supporting characters stand out a lot more in the drama compare to the 3 main characters. Expecially credit to the prosecutor, detective, vice precident of Haeil and the Victim 1 characters. The IT CEO guy only appear in 2 short scenes so cannot say much about it. The "Villains" aura was so scary, everytime they appeared I feel so tense. That what we called masterclass acting. They just stand there and I feel chill because the evilness look so real.
I hope before watching people realise what genre and main plot of the series. It a thriller & mystery about a person chasing another person. Based on it, we can expect there are not many scenes where both ML and FL in the same shot. I saying this because I can see people commenting in the future about their screentimes together. Still I could be wrong but usually this kind of setup they only have scenes toward the end.
This is not getting enough love.It started slow (which makes sense), but once you pass the first two episodes…
I dont know if this correct answer to your question, but this drama was made to focus on those 2 characters, more likely specific only to Ji Sung character as this is a drama about his journey on revenge. It doesnt follow the normal rule of having ML and FL. t That why Park Hee Seon name come after Ji Sung in the opening and credit scene plus in the poster and marketing also (see the above poster). There also dramas that focusing on only two female characters nowadays and not having ML such as Price Of Confession and You And Everything Else. If having the normal rule of ML and FL also sometime either one of it just a supporting character and the screentime not massive as the opposite such as the drama Buried Heart.
Another great 2 episodes, the writing and acting keep going high up and cant wait for next week. The only thing I hate this week are no enough Yoo Se Hee and Han Young 😂. They only got 1 or 2 scenes in this week latest episodes. Luckily seeing the next week preview make me happy again. Yoo Se Hee being so pretty for next week episodes. Seeing the MBC Drama channel video, a lot of Korean seem commented the same with I did 😂, it like they like Se Hee character too. It so funny reading that. Still as this is revenge mainly focus storyline I still focusing and enjoying the revenge, it just my favourite bit of the drama aside is Yoo Se Hee hahahaha, I believe she gonna change to the good in this new life.
My Review After Watching All Three Tazza Movies Over Three Consecutive Days
Tazza 1 (8.5/10)
Pros: - Strong storyline with solid character development - Kim Hye-soo’s role as the femme fatale really stands out - All the characters are memorable in their own way
Cons: - Limited explanation of how the card games (Hwatu/Sotda) work, which may confuse viewers outside Korea - Fewer game scenes overall - The game scenes are not very engaging, except for the final match - As an older movie, some parts feel a bit slow and dated
Tazza 2 (9.5/10)
Pros: - Excellent ensemble cast with great character chemistry - Engaging storyline with no boring moments Plenty of game scenes, executed in a very exciting way even if the rules aren’t fully explained - The return of characters from Tazza 1 in the middle and at the end is handled well and feels rewarding for fans - Supporting characters are the strongest in the entire series - The final game scene is outstanding and delivers intense, high-stakes tension
Cons: - The male and female leads perform well, but they don’t stand out as much as the supporting cast - The female lead feels slightly weaker compared to the second female lead and the female leads from the other Tazza movies
Tazza 3 (9.0/10)
Pros: - The easiest game to understand, as it follows a more universal poker-style format - The male lead delivers the strongest acting performance among the three films - Game scenes are plentiful and very well done - The storyline flows smoothly from start to finish
Cons: - Supporting characters feel the weakest in the trilogy, possibly due to weaker writing - Lacks a strong and memorable female lead, which is usually a highlight of the Tazza series - The final game feels too short and doesn’t fully pay off the buildup from earlier in the movie
My Personal Ranking (Based on Enjoyment and Rewatch Value) Tazza 2 > Tazza 3 > Tazza 1
Tazza is a must-watch trilogy for me personally. I had a lot of fun watching all three movies, and I decided to watch the series in preparation for the upcoming Tazza 4.

Tazza is a must-watch trilogy for me personally. I had a lot of fun watching all three movies, and I decided to watch the series in preparation for the upcoming Tazza 4.
Watching the latest episode really make me happy every week. Even this week was so good, it feel so "Running Man" style. Secret mission and sabotaging each other was the things that make the show unique compare to others. Make me laugh a lot with all the banters between them and past Running Man always did this kind of episode and I'm glad I can see it again. Inviting guest that clicked well with the members and also the themed itself was genius move by new PD. Plus, Kwon Eun Bi the only one calling Seokjin the name Seoksam other than Jaesuk 😂. She really know how to adapt well to the show. Imagine you always lying when you guesting on the show that make them doesnt even believe u anymore 😂. That mean she had establish a character in the show itself.
Lol, the title led me to believe this was a sequel or second part to The Devil Judge
The real Korean title of the show is "Judge Lee Han Young". Usually sometime they change the title for worldwide view. I also dont know why they picked this title for global marketing. I think it for easy understanding but at the same time it could confusing for some too.

* Btw I will never walk alone in the night if my village look like that hahaha, why all road so scary with that rice fields and that tunnel too 😭
1) If you a fan of any of the main casts
2) Like this kind of genre/plot (Slice Of Life)
3) Have a lot of time and nothing to watch
* If not listed above, I surely will not recommend this but you still can watch it though because everyone have different taste on what they liking 😄
That why Park Hee Seon name come after Ji Sung in the opening and credit scene plus in the poster and marketing also (see the above poster).
