The show promises a unique blend of action and fantasy as Kang Bit-na meets passionate detective Han Da-on and transforms into a true judge by punishing sinners in a hellish reality.

The production team highlights the show's core appeal: the devilish yet lovable anti-hero Kang Bit-na, portrayed by Park Shin-hye, who has undergone a dramatic transformation for the role.

Park Shin-hye's expression turns cold as she says, "So, I'll send you to hell myself." The narration, "Devilish yet lovable," perfectly encapsulates Kang Bit-na's character, making viewers eager to see what kind of thrilling actions this anti-hero will take in the drama.

In just 20 seconds, the character film captures Kang Bit-na's unique charm, Park Shin-hye's captivating presence, and the drama's core message. Each piece of content released so far has strongly resonated with potential viewers, making 'The Judge from Hell' one of the most anticipated dramas.

Park Shin-hye married Choi Tae-joon in January 2022 and welcomed a son in late May. She starred in the drama 'Doctor Slump,' which aired from January to March this year, marking her return to acting post-childbirth.

Her next project, 'The Judge from Hell,' will air its first two episodes consecutively on Saturday, September 21, at 10 PM.
