This must be the best heart-warming drama I've ever seen. It's one of those story that you'll keep in your soul no matter how much time has passed, like a bitter-sweet memory that brings a smile on your lips even if you have eyes filled with tears.
This episode was a RIDE. I suffered a lot for Jun-wan, he was so stressed and worn out for the whole episode, even if he had some happy moments with Dr. Do (i just love him, he never fails to make me smile) and when they found a donor for the little girl. And while I'm worried about Ik-sun, I'm also a little disappointed in her and how she's handling her relationship with Jun-wan: communications is the key, but I'm guessing by how it's going that we'll have a lot more iusses to suffer through... Also, I'm so glad they showed Sun-bin and Suk-min's reconciliation, I really really like their characters and these two as a couple (I miss Suk-min a lot, I really enjoyed his parts in the first season).
PS: Jun-wan's singing was amazing, his and Ik-jun's voice go so well together. So far I'm loving all the songs they have chosen, kudos for that.
I think I would have like this much more if there wasn't any romance.Also, just finished episode 6 and, if before…
Another thing: why do the writers always make Kang Shi-Young follows dr. Cha around? She just keeps quiet and tails him all the time without saying anything... I don't know what the scriptwriters are thinking but man that's not romantic at all, it's only bothersome. And after this sixth episode my opinion of her character went south, because how can you, as a doctor, just go and read the files of another doctor's patient without his and the patient's consent? It's illegal and also greatly disrespectful. I still haven't watched episode 7 but if Dr. Cha doesn't scold her at least a bit I'm gonna rage.
I think I would have like this much more if there wasn't any romance. Also, just finished episode 6 and, if before I was absolutely indifferent toward the female lead, now I'm livid with anger, like what? She's a doctor and doesn't even know what it means to respect someone's privacy? I have no words.
I'll give this 5 stars just out of respect for the actresses because they were really good, but man this was a ride. I understand that the characters were absolutely not good people from the start and the story was about their toxic relationship, but this must be one worst lesbian representation I've ever seen and there were too much things that made no sense at all.
The relationship between the two male leads and the whole dark!hero vibe who seeks revenge reminds me a lot of Beyond Evil. But I believe that the fundamental difference between the two drama is that in Beyond Evil, they did a really good job to make the characters feel like real people, while here in The Devil Judge I found myself thinking every two seconds that even in a dystopian universe there's no way that such people can exist lmao
I never been really upset on this whole show until I saw Han Yang ending, like he was my favorite character and they did him so dirty. I mean they didn't have to give him a perfect happy ending, but come on his was the worst one...
what he don't have that emotions bcs of his character
Yeah I know that he lacks emotions because of his character and that's fine, I mean something probably happened in his past. I was saying that Kang Yo-han is a little too perfect in the other departments shsh but a lot of male leads are scripted like that so I don't consider it a flaw of the drama.
The start of the second episode was amazing, the whole dinner conversation gave me Beyond Evil's vibe, it reminded me how Lee Dong-shik used his words to play and confuse Han Joo-won. It also gave us a bit of understanding of the connection between them, maybe Kim Ga On's parents commited suicide because Chief Kang's dad and Ga On, wanting revenge, set on fire the church were he went to confess?? This could be too much of a stretch shsh
Then the cars race's scene... Well, still a bit extra, but I admit it was cool like REALLY COOL, especially when Kang Yo-han start to destroy the guy's car... Whew, that was crazy hot. At first I thought that Kang Yo-han be there was that too much of a coincidence, but then I understood that he was having the kid followed because he's the son of Minister Cha. But man, I was really glad they showed that Kang Yo-han found the listening device (he supposed to be smart and cautious, so I would have been disappointed if he didn't found it) I was like yaass give me he playing mind games and fool everyone, he seems dead set to mislead Ga On and I'm so eager to see what he has planned (Kang Yo-han really remind me of a polished, little more evil, rich version of Lee Dong-shik).
The only thing that still puzzled me a bit it's that Kang Yo-han is a bit too perfect, I mean, we know he's charismatic and smart (he's the best judge in the nation) but he's also good at shooting, physical fighting and now he can do car racing? He only seems to lack in the emotional department... But well, a lot of male lead are script like this, so it's not really a flaw.
I can't wait for the next episode, especially because this one end with a quite literal bang and now I'm so eager to know what's going on. Also the acting is top notch, I couldn't have ask for more. So glad that this drama seems to get better and better!
I really really like the cast of this drama and for now every character seems interesting and I'm curios about their background and their agenda (especially Kang Yo Han). Another positive point is that the cinematography is beautiful, but hell even if the setting is a dystopia, there are too many exaggerations in this first episode.
First, they didn't really explain well what tf happened and how we ended up in this kind of Korea, they talk about a virus or something of the sort that made the country fall in an economical crisis, but then they don't say anything else if not the people were unhappy because of it so riots started all over?? Like, give me a little more of context, how am I supposed to understand what's going on? Also, about the bill for a judicial reform? Every citizen is part or the jury? Ya, that's bullshit, in time of crisis the people who are in power tend to keep it for themselves so there are less obstacles to make the situation stable again (and I mean that things could change for better or for worse, but a stable situation arise).
Another thing that made me scoff was that withing the first 20 minutes of the drama we have Kang Yo Han shots to a terrorist who's about to run over our 2nd protagonist: miraculously the terrorist deviate his course because he's scared and because our 2nd male lead must be the kind-hearted one he goes to save the terrorist before the bus explodes so in the end nobody gets hurt. All of that was so extra that I almost started laughing. Not to mention how Kim Ga On just went spying around the Justice Court and searched documents in restricted area without no one noticing, like don't they have surveillance cameras in a place that important? And they seems also to have a more evolved technology than us, so I'm here uhm?? Also I don't think that Kim Ga On would have enough time to follow his boss around, but the best part is that there's no way you can follow a car on a BIKE like come on for real 😭
I'm so interested in this show but I really hope they'll start to make more smart choices in the following episodes shsh
The ending song of this last episode was so good?? I love Ik-jun's voice, it really fits well with the style of…
Also if the writers will make Ik-sun and Jun-wan broke up I'm gonna rage y'all can't dot that, I love them too much, I just want them to be happy... Jun-wan may be as well my favorite character, I can't watch I'm suffer come on...
Just watched the first episode and it creeped me tf out, it's much more unsettling than what was I expecting, like I want to watch this so bad but just the thought to click on the next episode is giving me anxiety
And while I'm worried about Ik-sun, I'm also a little disappointed in her and how she's handling her relationship with Jun-wan: communications is the key, but I'm guessing by how it's going that we'll have a lot more iusses to suffer through...
