First episode of #TheJudgefromHell is finally out and I cannot wait to watch it. I've really been looking forward to seeing #ParkShinHye in this role ❤️
#TheJudgefromHell is everything I hoped it would be. #ParkShinHye is SLAYING this role. This is absolutely NOT a character she usually plays and she's admitted as much. That drew her to the role and it's wonderful to see her play someone like this. She's digging deep for her glares and her fabulous attitude. I love when actresses go against type like #ShinMinAh who worked her ASS off to get into #ChiefOfStaff and be taken seriously after being the Queen of romcoms. Challenge yourself always.
There's nothing more rewarding than watching Kang Bitna give this abusive asshole a taste of his own medicine in Hell. Park Shin Hye trained for fighting in Sisyphus so it's nice to see she still has that in hand beating the shit out of this guy with a hammer ... treating him the way he treated his girlfriend in life ... She slapped him through a glass window and it was so satisfying ... This scene of her kicking this dude straight to hell is a good 8 minutes long. She's kicking his WHOLE ass.
She's really enjoying this role and you can tell. She's chewing the scenery and really playing up this unamused, nonchalant demon from Hell who is trying desperately to get back to Hell. She has to kill 10 murderers on Earth in the body of the person she mistakenly sentenced to Hell. She's willing to let people kill others just so she can brand them a murderer and kill them. She's enjoying it way too much but she despises humans as well. Her laughs, her sly smiles, her absolute glee is epic. 🤣
The idea here isn't just the general idea ... but that there is no justice in the world ... and even a judge from Hell is aware that humans are the cause of all their own destruction. She is just here to preside over all the people who are unrepentant, evil assholes who murder people physically and spiritually. The human justice system is inadequate and lets evil people go free and innocent people die and it starts over the next day. Nothing will change and that's her whole point.
First 2 episodes of #TheJudgefromHell were absolutely perfect and a great mix of social commentary, Park Shin Hye's epic fight choreography, and a beautifully complicated character in Kang Bitna. I'm curious to find out more about her backstory as the drama goes on. The messaging about the justice system is very compelling and timely ... and I am excited to see how far the show will go with what it wants to say about the world.
If you haven't started watching #ParkShinHye in #TheJudgefromHell ... don't miss it! The first 2 episodes premiered to amazing ratings yesterday ❤️
Oh Na-ra ... or as I call her "Oh My Fucking Na Ra" has showed up RIGHT at the beginning.
If you're gonna nail a guest star in the first episode of your drama ... putting Oh Na Ra up there as the primary demon ... you have NAILED it. Oh Na Ra plays Justitia, the demon who enters the body of Park Shin Hye's judge Kang ... she is absolutely SLAYING the shit out of this role. I LOVE to see her like this.
If you're not familiar with Oh Na Ra's body of work ... it's LONG and epic. ❤️
