A Juíza do Inferno

I can say that this drama is legend. The storyline is very well written by the writer, even this is his debut as a writer. One drama with various genres, and all of them blend smoothly. Not to forget, the acting of all the actors. Even the side actors are great. Of course, Park Shin Hye is one reason why we should watch this drama. 21 years of traveling the world as an actress, with many people underestimating her acting skills and claiming she always plays weak roles. In this drama, we can see Park Shin Hye's extraordinary acting spectrum. She can convey emotions well, even the action scenes are almost all she does herself. Park Shin Hye is the life of this drama. I bet she will get award by her acting here. The writer of this series even wrote it by imagine Shin Hye as Bit Na. As new writer, she's so good, every episode we're not gonna get bored. I'm still watching it on going so I hope it will be good until end. Manifesting. Highly recommended to watch.

The reviewer who complained about the romance subplot is so off it's wild.

First of all, this show's actual genre is crime romance. It's listed as a romance. So why would they expect there not to be a romance. And the romance itself is a slow burn and is given way less screen time than the crime and horror aspects.

Second, the male lead's character arc is completely tied in with the overall plot arc and with FLs character arc, he's not just there to look pretty or make us swoon, he is very important to every aspect of the story and drives much of the action. He doesn't just pop in to be romantic, he is key to the central plot of the serial killer and is the reason why the FL even has a character arc, cause...

Third, the FL is not a judge trying to advance her career, she's a demon trying to complete a mission. She's there for one job and one job only -- to find and kill murderers to send them to hell. The ML is not distracting some story of a judge trying to become a better judge, he's making her interesting by being the key to her humanizing as a demon, which is the entire central point of her character arc. Watching a demon go around coldly killing murderer after murderer with no change would get real boring after a few eps.

It seems that reviewer just wanted a completely different story, with different characters and a different plot. Instead of looking at what story this show is trying to actually tell, and if it's doing a good job.

Which, it really is. This show has so much going for it and the romance only adds to that. The FL and ML have fantastic chemistry. The writing is very tight and knew where it was going from the start, everything connects well together and develops so organically. Good directing a great editing. All the actors are nailing their roles. It's fun at times, scary at times, moving at times. It's been my favorite drama this year.

After making a mistake in hell a demon possesses the murdered body of a judge and is instructed to send ten souls to hell to atone for her error. As she begins her new life as a judge she comes across a dedicated police officer who has a tragic past and when she begins to send souls to hell he becomes determined to bring her to justice. The judge Kang Bit-na is played superbly by Park Shin-hye and the detective Han Da-on is played by Jae-young Kim whose opinion of her starts to soften. I personally enjoyed the earlier episodes where she was less human and exacting revenge but it is still an entertaining story and worth a watch. Be aware though it is quite violent at times in the depiction of gruesome murders.

Park Shin-hye shines in this amazing K-drama, delivering exceptional performances that truly bring her characters to life. The show captivates viewers with its impressive character development and an engaging storyline that evolves with each episode. As the plot unfolds, audiences we deeply connected to the characters, and the revenge theme is just to die for! Even non-K-drama fans are drawn in, becoming addicted to the narrative that serves what they truly deserve. The combination of Park's talent, intricate storytelling, and high production quality creates an unforgettable viewing experience that resonates long after the credits roll. The ultimate punishment is thrilling to watch!

I have loved Park Shin Hye since The Heirs with all the star-studded casts. The show is something I didn't expect to like since nowadays, kdramas don't impress me that easily. However, I was not expecting to like the story, the casts and everything about it. Park Shin Hye is really a versatile actress, she has been with all types of genre and I like her the most if it is action like in Sisyphus (Kdrama) and Alive (Film), she can really pull off being so badass. She has been such an amazing actress that is hard to beat. She is one of my favorite female leads and I am so happy that even she is now married and a mom, she still looks so young and healthy!
