Park Shin-Hye is back to serve her versatile acting skills in The Judge From Hell! In this supernatural legal drama, Park Shin-Hye plays Kang Bit-na, a judge possessed by the demon Justitia, who serves as a criminal court judge. The soul of the real Kang Bit-na is stuck going through the trials of hell. In contrast, her demon-possessed body works to punish criminals and send them down to hell. Full of thrilling twists and turns, Kang Bit-Na is a cool and scary demon not to be messed with. Here are our reasons why she’s the new it girl!
She’s not afraid to be bad.
Typically, in other K-Dramas, many female leads are good-natured heroines. However, Kang Bit-na prides herself on being merciless to criminals and speaking her mind freely in court, even if it offends others. She isn’t a typical good girl, and seeing a morally ambiguous character is refreshing.
She persecutes criminals in her devious ways.
Kang Bit-na seems to revel in her job as a criminal court judge. Although she oversees and deals with court matters unconventionally, she ensures guilty criminals get their well-deserved karma. She won’t hesitate to hunt them down and make them experience the crimes they’ve committed ten times worse. Truly embracing her title as The Judge From Hell.
Despite being a demon, she has a strong sense of justice.
She is on a mission to take down ten murderers and send them down to hell. While she is ruthless when taking down the criminals, she ensures the victims deserve justice. She makes time to meet with the victims and listen to their stories, and she protects them in her way.
She doesn’t just slay criminals, but her outfits, too!
Whether Kang Bit-na is on or off the court, she always comes in style. Both under her judge robes and while hunting criminals, she always makes sure she looks good. Park Shin-Hye’s fashion wardrobe for this show is ever so stylish, and she’s not afraid to get dirty when killing criminals.
She’s respected as much as she’s feared.
Even while trapped in a human body, she is respected and feared by her fellow demons, such as the ones sent on Earth to help her in her mission. In the courtroom, she commands respect from all those present, and her colleagues also admire and respect her. At the same time, criminals cower at her feet and helplessly beg for her mercy, which she doesn’t have for them.
