Park Shin-hye of 'Judge from Hell' shared her affectionate thoughts on the show's finale.

On the 3rd, the agency Salt Entertainment revealed the thoughts of Park Shin-hye, who played the role of Kang Bit-na, a demon who entered the body of a judge in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge from Hell' (written by Jo I-soo/directed by Park Jin-pyo and Jo Eun-ji/produced by Studio S), which ended on the 2nd.

 

Park Shin-hye said, "I think I had a really fun and happy time filming for the past 7 months," and shared her thoughts on her time acting as 'Kang Bit-na.' She continued, "I worked hard filming with the staff and actors, and I think it will be a memorable piece," expressing her affection for the work.

 

Lastly, Park Shin Hye expressed her gratitude to the viewers, saying, "I hope we can share the emotions we feel with the many people who watched our drama. Thank you for being with us."

 

In 'Judge from Hell', Park Shin Hye took on the role of 'Kang Bit Na', a character who kills people without reflecting and sends unforgiven criminals to hell by punishing them with an 'eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth' method, displaying excellent character digestion and successfully transforming her acting. Going back and forth between human and devil, she excellently utilized the characteristics of the 'fantasy' genre with her well-controlled acting, while also giving viewers laughter with her tiki-taka with the characters around her, and maximizing the character's diverse charms with lines and actions that break away from cliches, receiving favorable reviews from viewers. In particular, in the scene where she punishes the criminal, she hard-carried the acting that included various action scenes such as her bare body, sword, and crossbow, greatly increasing the immersion of the viewers.

 

In addition, Park Shin-hye stably portrayed Kang Bit-na, who changes as she meets Han Da-on (played by Kim Jae-young) and feels human emotions, making viewers curious about how Kang Bit-na and Han Da-on's relationship will develop and what kind of ending they will face, making the drama more interesting to watch. In addition, Park Shin-hye's 'Kkuku' fashion and gorgeous visuals, from her Twitter setup to her hanbok, became special elements that added to the fun of watching.

 

Based on such solid acting skills, Park Shin-hye has proven herself to be an actress who is not limited to a single genre, and has caught both viewer ratings and buzz, raising expectations about what kind of work she will present to the public and bring them yet another kind of enjoyment.

'Judge from Hell' Park Shin Hye 1 Q&A

 

 

 

Q. Thoughts on the ending of 'Judge from Hell'

A I think it will be an unforgettable piece of work. During the 7 months of filming, there were difficult moments, but I think there were more happy and joyful memories. As the final episode approached, many viewers and people around me said, "It's too bad it's ending," and I realized that 'Judge from Hell' really received a lot of love. I couldn't be happier thanks to the people who loved me.

 

 

Q. You received a lot of love from many people for your unique acting transformation in this work. How do you feel?

A Above all, I was glad and happy that many people said, 'Park Shin Hye has such a new face.' I think that the job of an actor is to be chosen by someone, and in some ways, it's a continuation of waiting. I was really grateful that I was given the opportunity to express the character of 'Kang Bit-na' after waiting for a role with such a conclusion.

 

Q. The character 'Kang Bit-na', who broke away from the cliché, received a lot of love from viewers. What was your mindset when approaching the character of Kang Bit-na, and what did you focus on when acting?

A Bitna tried to appear kind without being kind. I think I paid more attention to my speech, facial expressions, and tone of dialogue so that viewers wouldn't feel uncomfortable seeing Bitna dealing with older characters or characters who appear as victims. Also, since Kang Bitna is a character who is as lively as a carbonated beverage, I practiced a lot to bring out the flavor of her speech, such as the speed of her speech.

 

Q. There was a lot of effort, such as wearing around 300 costumes for the character of Kang Bit-na. Is there any part of the costume preparation that you paid special attention to in order to best portray the character of 'Kang Bit-na'?
A. We chose bright and colorful colors like pink, blue, and red with strong impact, and gave accents to dark colors. If you look at the script, there were many lines about 'wearing beautiful and flashy clothes' when Bit-na punishes criminals. There were also clothes for action scenes, but I think we prepared them so that they wouldn't stray too far from the flashiness that Bit-na likes.
Since we needed a variety of costumes, such as home wear, a costume look, and everyday clothes, we did a lot of costume fittings, so the stylist team had a hard time.

Q. There were various actions, from bare-handed action to sword and gun action. Were there any difficult parts when filming?

A I prepared diligently by learning action in advance at Action School. Since they taught me so well, I prepared step by step while matching up with my co-star on set. For the really dangerous scenes, the stunt double helped me. In fact, I think it was harder for the actors who were punished by Bitna than for me. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the many actors who were punished by Bitna.

Q. In 'Devils', you had a tiki-taga with various surrounding characters, from the residents of Hwangcheon Villa to your court colleagues. I'm curious about your chemistry on set.

A All the actors were so nice, so we had a lot of fun chatting on set and filming. I think it was because all the actors on our team brought good energy to the set that I was able to film while receiving that good energy.

Q. What famous line did Park Shin-hye choose and why?

A "The real trial will begin now" is memorable. I think it's the line that best shows why Bitna came to the human world and the reason for her existence as someone who came from hell to punish sinners.

 

Q. Are there any comments or memorable reactions that you found interesting?

A "Become Arong". I thought it was funny that there were reactions saying that Arong was becoming a person who showed blind love for Justitia. I also liked the comments that just shouted "Justitia♥" without saying anything. It felt like demon companions were born. There were many memorable reactions because of the sweet and witty comments! Thank you.

 

Q. What kind of drama will 'Judge from Hell' be remembered as for actress Park Shin-hye?

A 'Judge from Hell' is a drama where I met many honey-lovers and devil colleagues! It was a work that had an emotional connection with the viewers because I was able to empathize with them and communicate emotionally through the work, and I think it will be remembered as a work with good chemistry between the on-site staff and actors. Every time I finish a work, I feel like 'I finished another chapter.'

Q. A final greeting to the viewers who loved 'Judge from Hell'

A Dear viewers, I sincerely thank you. I was so happy because you sent me so much love that I could feel that "there are really many people watching our drama." I hope you always stay healthy. Thank you for being with us.

[News N Park A-reum] Kim Jae-young revealed his thoughts on the end of 'Judge from Hell'.

On November 3, his agency Management S relayed actor Kim Jae-young's thoughts on the end of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge from Hell'.

Kim Jae-young said, “‘Judge from Hell’ was a project I had high expectations for since I first read the script. I really wanted to participate.”

Kim Jae-young said, “There were many difficult parts at first while acting as the character Han Da-on, but thanks to the director’s directing, actress Park Shin-hye, and many staff members and actors who helped me, I think Han Da-on came to life vividly. I was so happy to be able to work on ‘Judge from Hell,’ and it was such a precious time,” expressing his endless affection for those who worked hard on the project.

Finally, Kim Jae-young said, “‘Judge from Hell’ is a lucky piece for me. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the love I received as Han Da-on because the viewers loved me so much. I want to say thank you to the actors, directors, and staff who worked hard for the piece, and I also want to say thank you to the viewers who loved ‘Judge from Hell’ so much,” conveying a greeting filled with emotion.

In ‘Judge from Hell,’ which ended on November 2, Kim Jae-young played the role of detective Han Da-on of the 2nd Violent Crimes Unit of Nobong Police Station, earning praise for renewing his ‘life character.’ As the sole survivor of the serial killer J case that runs through the center of the drama, he delicately portrayed the complex and subtle emotions of a character struggling between the intense anger of wanting to catch the criminal and take revenge, and the fairness of wanting to bring him to the judgment seat of the law, making viewers cry, while also stimulating the heartbeat and making them smile by showing sweet and savage chemistry with Park Shin-hye, who plays Kang Bit-na.

From the melodramatic gaze that melts hearts to the sorrowful emotional acting, Kim Jae-young's delicate acting that skillfully adjusts his speech, expression, and breathing depending on the situation was enough to maximize the immersion of viewers. In addition, he captured the hearts of viewers by drawing the character with his overwhelming physique, tall visuals, and overflowing humanity.

“Kang Bit-na, a character completed with 300 outfits”

Park Shin-hye wore a whopping 300 outfits to portray the character of Kang Bit-na.

This production featured a variety of action scenes, from bare-handed action to swords and guns, and Park Shin-hye said that she prepared for them through prior training. Although she continued to film stably with the help of a stunt double for some dangerous scenes, she put in a lot of effort in directly adjusting the coordination on site.

Park Shin-hye opens another chapter in her acting career with ‘Judge from Hell’

'Judge' Lee Kyu-han, writes a new history of villains.. "No need to understand serial killers" [Q&A]

Entered 2024.11.04. 9:31 AM

Original article

[OSEN=Min Kyung-hoon] On the afternoon of the 7th, the 28th Chunsa International Film Festival was held at Vista Hall in the Construction Association Building in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Actor Lee Kyu-han is having a photo time while walking the red carpet. 2023.12.07 / rumi@osen.co.kr

[OSEN=Kim Chae-yeon]

 

Actor Lee Kyu-han shared his thoughts on the ending of the drama 'Judge from Hell'.

Lee Kyu-han gave a passionate performance as Jung Tae-gyu in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge from Hell', which ended with its 14th episode on the 2nd.

'Judge from Hell' is an action fantasy where good and evil coexist as Kang Bit-na (played by Park Shin-hye), a demon who enters the body of a judge, meets the humane and passionate detective Han Da-on (played by Kim Jae-young) in a hellish reality and is reborn as a true judge by punishing criminals.

In 'Judge from Hell', Lee Kyu-han plays Jung Tae-gyu, the eldest son of National Assembly member Jung Jae-geol (played by Kim Hong-pa). Jung Tae-gyu is the CEO of Taeok Development Industry and Kang Bit-na's former fiancé. In the latter half of the drama, the identity of the serial killer J, who has killed numerous people, was revealed to be him, causing shock.

Lee Kyu-han delicately portrayed Jung Tae-gyu's creepy two faces and a more devilish side than the devil, giving viewers goosebumps. Lee Kyu-han, who once again proved his title as a 'great actor' by perfectly possessing the evil Jung Tae-gyu without a shred of guilt, shared his thoughts on the ending of the drama in a Q&A session through his agency Billions.



Here is a Q&A with Lee Kyu-han about 'Judge from Hell'.

Q. How do you feel about wrapping up 'Judge from Hell'?

A. I think I finished a good piece of work. Since the character of Jung Tae-gyu is such a strong role, I'm not sure if I showed it well. Looking back, I think it was a character that left me with a lot of regrets.

Q. What kind of person is Jung Tae-gyu in Lee Kyu-han's opinion?

A. When we think of psychopaths or serial killers in our society, we think, 'Do I really have to understand them?' So I thought that the idea that the character of Jung Tae-gyu has a narrative and such was a bit absurd, and when expressing it, I approached it with the thought that it would be good if 'I', the character of Jung Tae-gyu, did not understand it.



Q. You became a hot topic for your shocking and vicious acting, from a charismatic CEO to a brutal serial killer. Was there anything difficult or did you pay special attention to while acting?

A. Serial killers are people who live their daily lives just like us. So I don’t think there was anything difficult because I didn’t keep that in mind when acting. I thought about what it would be like if a conglomerate or someone from the upper echelons of society like Jung Tae-gyu were to become a serial killer with strong psychopathic tendencies while acting.

Q. Do you tend to look for viewers’ reactions to your work, and were there any comments or reactions that impressed you?

A. Since the managers and staff around me usually tell me a lot about their reactions, I don’t really look for reactions myself.

Q. What kind of work do you think “Judge from Hell” will be remembered by Lee Kyu-han?

A. I think “Judge from Hell” is the work in which I played the boldest villain role. Since it was my first time doing a fantasy genre, I was curious and worried before starting, but I am satisfied because I think I was able to finish a good project with the great director, writer, fellow actors, and staff.

Q. You have appeared in various works regardless of genre and role. Do you have your own criteria for choosing a work?

A. When choosing a work, I think it is greatly influenced by how much I can express the character shown in the synopsis and whether it is a character I want to express.

Q. Is there a field, genre, or role that you would like to challenge in the future?

A. I would like to try a traditional historical drama.

Q. What are your plans for the rest of 2024 and your future activities?

A. My plan and goal is to continuously do various works. I will do any work that is offered to me without hesitation.

Q. Please say a word to the viewers who loved 'Judge from Hell' and Jung Tae-gyu.

A. In a world where social evils are rampant, if there is a person named Jung Tae-gyu, I hope that you avoid him. Since the drama itself is a story about punishing criminals, many people say, "People who judge too weakly in our society are like soda," and I'm so grateful for those words. I will work hard to make more soda-like works in the future.

The Judge from Hell: Episodes 13-14 (Final)

by DaebakGrits

 

It’s the conclusion of our gore-filled drama, but will it also be the end for our demon and detective? This OTP has a morbid prophecy hanging over their heads, but maybe, amidst all the revenge porn, our finale will reveal a loophole that will allow them to have their happily-ever-after.

 
EPISODES 13-14

 

 

Now that Tae-gyu, the final baddie, has been arrested, it’s only fitting that he sees his day in court — you know, because our main character is a judge from hell. And given our main character’s profession, it’s equally fitting that Tae-gyu ends up in Bit-na’s courtroom.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: how the hell was Bit-na able to preside over his case? Well, Beanies, it all boils down to political corruption. Lest we forget, Tae-gyu and his satanic father had a lot of politicians in their back pocket, so when Bit-na approached the incarcerated Tae-gyu with an offer similar to the one he made with Satan, he presumably pulled some strings (re: blackmailed) and had his political friends pressure Bit-na’s boss so that she was assigned his case.

Obviously, Bit-na doesn’t intend to uphold her end of her bargain with Tae-gyu — she’s not in favor of killing innocent people in order to gain immortality, like Satan. But after Bael’s last-minute visit to her judges chambers, it’s unclear if she will punish him in the court of law… or hell. Thankfully, depending on how you look at it, Tae-gyu arranges for his brother — and the main witness for his trial — to get shanked in prison. He lives, and his almost-murder allows Bit-na to delay the judicial proceedings for a few days and stew on Bael’s ultimatum.

 

Although it looked like the attack on Deadbeat Brother’s life would cause him to back out as a witness, he shows up to Tae-gyu’s trial fashionably late because Da-on, with just a few parting sentences, convinced Deadbeat Brother that he would be able to find justice for his mother’s murder if he testified in court. While on the witness stand, Deadbeat Brother admits to being an accomplice to So-young’s murder, the perpetrator behind the attack on Bit-na’s neighbor, and a witness to the killing of Religious Landlady’s son.

Unfortunately, there’s no proof to corroborate his story, so it’s a classic case of he-said-he-said, and Tae-gyu’s lawyer tries to imply that Deadbeat Brother is the real murderer who committed the crimes while under the influence of drugs. Bit-na and Da-on, however, suspect that Tae-gyu filmed his other murders the same way he recorded himself torturing Deadbeat Brother’s mother, and thanks to some rushed, totally-convenient-for-our-plot detective work, the videos are located and admitted as evidence. The contents of the tapes are so gruesome that even Bit-na struggles to watch them.

Tae-gyu, however, remains as cocky as ever. Yes, the videos prove he committed twelve murders in the past, but because the statute of limitations has lapsed, there’s nothing the court can do about it. He brazenly turns to his victims’ families, who are all seated in the audience, and goes off on a crazy tangent about how he killed his victims in order to liberate them from their poor (in the literal sense) miserable lives. He openly admits that he doesn’t feel any remorse because he’s got a god complex and believes his victims found eternal peace at his hands.

Wow… just wow. But you know what? I buy it. As far as serial killer antagonists go, I’ve got to give props to the writers for giving him a backstory that’s on brand with his twisted logic. Does it make sense to us, the viewers, without murderous, psychotic tendencies? Of course not, but within the story, it kinda checks out that a kid who grew up poor, neglected, and resentful would — after making a deal with a bonafide demon — see himself as delivering his own brand of salvation to others who’d suffered like him. Then again, maybe I’m giving this drama a lot of leeway because, more often than not, serial killers in K-dramas have no purpose beyond ruining a perfectly good rom-com.

 

The trial proceeds with Da-on stepping up to provide his own testimony as a witness to So-young’s murder, but while on the stand he transitions to recount his family’s murders. Tae-gyu’s lawyer objects — statute of limitations, irrelevancy to the case on trial, blah blah blah — but this is Bit-na’s courtroom, and she’s going to allow her man to have this moment. When the lawyer continues to protest, Bit-na has him escorted from her courtroom. Tae-gyu won’t ever be on trial for his serial killings, but Bit-na gives him this moment to confront the killer and find some semblance of closure.

As for delivering her verdict, well, Bit-na still has some time to deliberate and decide what matters most to her. Does she return to hell alive, or sacrifice herself so that the families of Tae-gyu’s victims will find peace? Her demon friends beg her to follow Bael’s orders and send Tae-gyu to hell so that she will live, and even Basement Halmoni/Gabriel agrees that this time around she should just continue to do as she’s always done — but I don’t think Bit-na should take anything Gabriel says at face value.

 

Da-on, the person whose opinion Bit-na values the most on this matter, is also the least informed on the matter. Bit-na hasn’t told him about Bael’s ultimatum, so when she asks him not to resent her for whatever sentence she chooses to give out, Da-on natively responds that he understands. Due to the statute of limitations, he believes she’s hinting that her verdict may not be satisfactory to him. Poor guy, he has no idea that she’s asking him to not be sad that she opted to sacrifice herself.

The day comes when Bit-na announces her verdict, and she sentences Tae-gyu to death — much to the surprise of the random reporter who became mildly important enough mid-way through the drama to get consistent (albeit brief) screen time. Da-on is elated by Bit-na’s verdict, and takes her to his family columbarium. I’m sure that his parents are up in heaven, watching down on their son, absolutely elated that he’s fallen in love with a demon. Then again, she’s also a judge, which is one of the top professions K-drama parents want their overachieving kids to pursue, so if the general public can reverse their opinion of Bit-na thanks to her latest verdict, then maybe Da-on’s dead family can overlook the fact that she’s a demon.

Choi Dong-goo, 'Judge from Hell's' strong departure... "Thank you for hating me"

Choi Dong-goo has made a strong exit from 'Judge from Hell'.

On the 2nd, as SBS' Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge from Hell' ended, Choi Dong-goo, who had a strong ending as Jeong Seon-ho, shared his thoughts on leaving the show.



Previously, Jung Seon-ho had testified in detail about the evil deeds of Lee Kyu-han, who was revealed to be the "serial killer J", in "Judge from Hell" and met his end with a "death ending" in which he paid the price for his crimes. 

In the previous episode, Jung Seon-ho was revealed to be the "true culprit" who had killed Kang Bit-na (Park Shin-hye) at the instigation of his older brother Jung Tae-gyu (Lee Kyu-han), and he greatly increased the immersion with the crucial tip-off that "Jung Tae-gyu killed his mother." On this day, Jung Seon-ho was attacked by an unidentified person in prison and, overcome by fear of his brother, refused to testify at the trial, but dramatically attended the trial and testified about the crucial evidence of the murder, the "camcorder" and "tape", leading to Jung Tae-gyu's "confession."

Seon-ho, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the confinement and assault of Kang Bit-na and attempted assault on Yoo Jeong-im (Park Ji-yeon), handed a letter to Kang Bit-na while riding in the escort vehicle, and the letter that Jeong Seon-ho handed was directed at Jang Myeong-sook (Kim Jae-hwa) who lost her son to Jeong Tae-gyu. It turned out that Jeong Seon-ho had been keeping the gift and letter for his mother left behind by his son Ye-chan since witnessing his brother's murder 25 years ago. Jeong Seon-ho was found dead in prison with the message, "I'm sorry for delivering your son's gift and letter so late," leaving a strong shock and lingering impression.



Choi Dong-goo, who 'hard-carried' the middle part of the drama as Jeong Seon-ho in 'Judge from Hell' and left a strong presence, shared his thoughts on leaving the drama, saying, "I sincerely thank the viewers who hated Seon-ho a lot through the drama and at the same time felt sorry for him." He also said, "The ending of 'Karma' where Seon-ho admits all of his sins and apologizes to the victim touched my heart," and "I will greet you with a new work soon, so please continue to show lots of interest and love."

Meanwhile, SBS' Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge from Hell' ended with its 14th episode on the 2nd, recording a viewership rating of 11.9% (nationwide, provided by Nielsen Korea).
