"in this recent japanese interview, #KimJaeyoung mentioned that he couldn't give spoilers but the final episode of #TheJudgeFromHell will be truly satisfying and it won't disappoint anyone." https://x.com/hae_in_jung/status/1852003895452799171?t=zknFilHVyoIC7X3JGeoBmg&s=19 💜💜💜 if our man is saying this, then i can rest easy haha. happy friday everyone 🥳
finally caught up with ep12 and WHEWWW i need the rest of the week to process this 😭 not that i didn't with…
also i know many people are scared about us getting a sad or tragic ending – i don't think so. here's why: in the initial synopsis of the show - including the one that was shown at a content exhibition in korea before the drama aired, it's stated that bitna and daon will meet each other, change as people, fall in love, and bitna will be "reborn as a true judge", using her power for the benefit of others. (https://x.com/gracefulkjy/status/1828666428817301957?t=pn7FPn1khjq-SCrZKh4oxQ&s=19) that's the end goal of the narrative, and it can't be achieved if either of them die. how will justitia become a true judge if she dies or goes back to hell? if daon dies, rest assured she won't care about becoming one either. there may be a lot of questions including wether she's still in satan's illusion or wether bael will be the final boss to defeat, but after all the terrible stuff both she and daon had to go through, and especially her character development in becoming more human and empathetic, it simply makes no sense to go for a sad ending. so i won't worry too much and simply enjoy the last two eps. 🙂↕️💜 (if i'm wrong, you can all call me a clown for the rest of eternity lmao)
finally caught up with ep12 and WHEWWW i need the rest of the week to process this 😭 not that i didn't with any of the other episodes - this drama had one of the best consecutive runs of episodes among dramas this year with one more well written and exciting than the other - but this one was especially spectacular. our demon gang using seonho to catch J? CHEFS KISS. the conclusion of the assembyman's family (they hit it out of the park with the acting too!) and how satan was involved in everything? CHEFS KISS. the showdown between satan and bitna with her declaring she's the demon of all demons - and the juxtaposition of her worst nightmare being daon turning on her, and her deepest desire being married to him (excuse me while i lay on the floor in shambles)? CHEFS KISS. the reveal of detective soyoung's last moment and daon facing taegyu? CHEFS KISS. BITNA SAYING SHE WILL PROTECT DAON NO MATTER HIS COICE, BE IT IN HELL OR ON EARTH? HIM RUNNING TO HUG HER AND SOB IN HER ARMS? CHEFS FUCKING KISS 👏👏👏 and the twist of ending + the preview? insane. i'm so scared for daon and bitna but i know whatever the ending will be it's gonna be legendary 👀 we're reaching the final stretch of episodes now and i'm already missing this show so much 💔 it got me out of my drama slump and will now start another; because i doubt anything will come even close to this anytime soon.
judge from hell writer is CRAZY bc the scene where bitna asks daon if he knows how to peel an apple (and then looks at him with those anticipating eyes) had me screaminggg because in korea knowing how to peel an apple like that (aka in one continuous strip) is traditionally a sign of marital readiness aka bitna was checking if daon is husband material 😭😭😭 and it's usually from the perspective of the woman too so i love how tjfh is basically reversing every gendered trope under the sun <3
