I think so too - as it happens in many other folklore and other dramas that we have seen (My Demon being the latest). I am all-in for happy endings so I'll still hope this is the ending they give, Justicia becoming a human - but then realistically thinking since it is 14 episodes, maybe they'll make sequel and leave us hanging?

Given this show is acquired by OTT Disney - it is quite possible, given the show does well - which it is so far, they might want to milk and make more moolah and so renew it for Season 2.

I could not wait any longer and started this show - and loving every bit of it so far! I love such shows that deal with a case per 1-2 episodes and the devil judge providing justice is oh-so-satisfying, especially when it comes in the cool swag form that Park Shin Hye is delivering in her character.

The CGI effects are bit weird - but given they are very minimal, it is tolerable.

All in all, while I wrote a long comment** on why have we not hyped up - Kim Jae Young, in the same league as other famous K-stars - he is the biggest pleasant surprise and find for me from this drama. Like Park Shin Hye and Kim In Kwon - I already know are fantastic, but this man has come as a surprise - and I am going to watch his other works, while hoping to see more him apart from this drama soon! 😍 #fangirl mode activated!

**(you can read it here: https://kisskh.at/people/8232-kim-jae-young#comment-18946612) - would love to know anyone's thoughts on why he is a hidden gem?

Did you mean Haruma Miura - I think all of us who have been following J-dramas and movies know of him and he was definitely a first for many - like us. In fact - not ranking as such, but he, SakaKen, Jun Matsumoto, Kento Yamazaki, Sota Fukushi, Takeru Satoh etc are the ones who started the Japanese Wave so as to speak.

From Me To You remains my favorite till date - I have lost count how many times I have seen it just to have Miura relive it. It is indeed a bittersweet feeling 💔

I am yet to start this drama - since this is 6 episodes, and I am watching other airing dramas, I'll wait for this one to complete and then binge. But really interested to know how it is going for you and others. Will come back to you to know what your review was for the whole drama. Happy Watching, till then! 🌞

Where has Kim Jae Young been hiding?

Okay - so I just started The Judge from Hell and immediately took notice of Kim Jae-Young.
While watching the drama I thought that it was Song Jae Rim but something fell off so I came to MDL and got to know that it is Kim Jae Young.

Now I saw my list - and see that I have only ever seen him in My Secret Romance. But then seeing the other dramas/movies on his filmography list - why has this handsome man not more widely known. Like he is handsome, and whatever I have seen of him so far he is a decent actor - and looks like he modelled too. So why is he not being hyped up and people going gaga over him - and better yet, he appearing in more dramas/movies? (The latter being the main thing I want and for that a certain level of hype is needed)

Checked his age - he is 35, so he has been in the industry for quite sometime. Genuinely want to know - is there some backstory that I do not see on the public sites and MDL?

He clearly is a heartthrob, ah-juiccyy material!! Like I expect people to go crazy over him as in the likes of Lee Dong Wook, Lee Min Ho, Byeon Woo Seok, Rowoon etc. Hoping this latest drama - The Judge from Hell would be the turning point and every social media post be about him. I know I'll be making one on my page for sure! ❤️

P.S. Does anyone else feel there is a slight resemblance of Rowonn and Song Jae Rim - while looking (ogling) at him? :P Saw his IG pictures in some of them I see a faint resemblance..

Yessss, I remember there were so many articles citing them as each others' doppelgangers! Plus, that was so sweet of him to say that he'd like to work together.

The first time I saw SakaKen was in 2015 - the movies, My Love Story and Heroine Disqualified. He was in a support role/SML in these two - but I was already smitten with him. Had to search a lot then to find his modelling works and variety show appearances. So glad of the run he has had and people acknowledging his talent - no wonder he is one of the most sought after actors in Japan!

I'd not like to say that - it is just their opinion, which we should respect - doesn't matter if we agree or not.

probably because he wants to protect us and not unleash his handsomeness at fullest potential 😂 but he usually carries the same hairstyle, floppy covering the forehead in most of his dramas/movies.

I am a die-hard fan of Kentaro, and I can distinguish between him and Bae In Hyuk - but I think this comment/observation maybe coming from the fact that both of them are what you term as shio-gao (literally: salt-face men)

SakaKen has been called that numerous times - the term is described as "a fair-skinned male with good-looking face, defined Adam's apple and collarbones, as well eyes that turn into lines when smiling"

Bae In Hyuk also falls into this category and given he was one of the most recent male leads who have acted opposite the FL - maybe this comparison is therefore being made.

Thanks a lot for sharing your view! Since am a big fan of the FL I am going to watch it for sure, just the pacing makes me decide should I watch it as it airs or wait for it to complete.

how is the pace of the drama?

It's today! Can't wait to watch it - especially SakaKen ❤️

Somewhere in the middle of the series, they have got a good amount of screentime. It is obviously not as much as the main couple - but the drama makers have balanced it well imo.

Like we know the show is for the main leads- but they have intertwined the second pair's love story beautifully - to the point that you are not left for wanting more, but then it sets up a beautiful stage for the spin off.

My friendly recommendation would be to watch the show. It is short and crisp - and like I mentioned has tightly woven the story and brought out all the themes well. Bonus - you watch this show for both the couples - and since your focus is the second one, their scenes will make you go 🥰😍😻and then you can watch the spin off at leisure when it comes out on Oct 3!

I hope this long answer of mine conveys my excitement for the second couple and their story - excited to know how it goes for you!

Ikr - he is a paradox character. Like there are times when you think he is the antagonist and then he switches and does some funny antics (that scene to save his plants) and am like so confused whether to fully hate him with passion or ROFL! 😂

He is such a great actor - so happy that he is pulling it off so well!

This is another drama that will be in highlights of 2024!

Binged and Finished Ep 10 and I am loving this drama - it has the right amount of mystery, comedy, romance, and bro/sis bonding. I really hope they finish on a strong note, given we are down to the last 2 episodes next week.

I think this would be the first drama of Shin Min-ah that I will complete, and what a great run Kim Young Dae has had since I first saw him in Penthouse and Extraordinary You.

And super super excited for the spin off and see the second leads' story unfold in Spice Up Out Love #TeamBokGyu

Omg! The creativity 😂😂😂😂

Haha! Hmmm you are right - but this scene was hilarious! 🤣

Haha - I thought it was lingerie or something.

Watching Ep 7 - what was in that box? the one with the world map? Who are Chris/Bruno?
I am shy too but very curious 😂😂😂

Honestly - this drama was deceptive. The poster, trailer and premise made me feel as if it would have a suspense with a twist in the end, and the first 2-3 episodes did seem to set it up that way. But alas from that point onwards there was just no progress - in characters or story. Highly disappointing drama and my recommendation is to SKIP IT.

In case anyone wants to read more - and those who have seen it, would love to know your thoughts.

I am going to take your word for it and watch it soon! Thank you 🥰
