Only 2 dramas I've seen in this list and my opinion differs by a longshot :D I didn't decide to write this in order to bash you for your own opinion or something but I'm just saying... you should give one more shot at least to The Devil Judge. From around one or two more eps from the one you dropped at it mutates into something completely different, with a lot more implications.
Although handled a bit in the same style, they manage to turn it all into something truly watchable and without borrowing anything from anything, and pushing for its own style as you've probably noticed. The dramatic slowmo, the emotional montages that have Yo Han's sense of indifference and cold shoulder-ness looming over them because of what he's gotta become in order to face the corruption around him. All of that in a much bigger picture. Now, fair warning, you maaay dislike it seeing how it made you feel thus far : ) But still, in my humble opinion, I'd say you give it just one more shot. Hanbeonman!
