"The Judge from Hell" is a primetime drama currently airing on SBS with impressive viewership ratings. In the most recent episode, the show recorded a rating of 13.6% - the highest since its premiere.
In the remaining 6 episodes, the media expects the film to continue to set many new records, especially when this project marks the "transformation" of Park Shin Hye's image. Taking on the role of Kang Bit Na - a judge possessed by a demon, the actress is praised for having many vivid and new expressions.
Escaping the image of a "poor family overcoming hardship", Park Shin Hye created a unique color for the character Bit Na with cold, sinister but also extremely emotional and psychological expressions. The trendy fashion sense and personality of the "mother of one" on screen is also a plus.
It is known that after "Judge from Hell" ends, the movie "The Fiery Priest 2" will air. The work marks the reunion of Kim Nam Gil, Honey Lee, Kim Sung Kyun - the trio that created impressive achievements in part 1, with the highest rating of 22%.
At that time (2019), the work of director Lee Myung Woo, Park Bo Ram brought home a total of 8 awards, including the Daesang (Grand Prize - Kim Nam Gil) at the 2019 SBS Drama Awards.
Returning after 5 years, the film continues to revolve around the journey of cooperation to discover mysterious cases of Kim Hae Il (Kim Nam Gil) - a priest with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Goo Dae Young (Kim Sung Kyun) - a dedicated police officer and female prosecutor Park Kyung Soon (Honey Lee).
This part also features the appearance of new faces including Sung Joon (as Kim Hong Sik - a drug gang boss), Seo Hyun Woo (as Nam Doo Heon - a corrupt prosecutor) and BIBI (as Koo Ja Young - a young police officer in the Narcotics Investigation Unit), promising to bring many surprising elements to viewers.
Sharing about the work, Kim Nam Gil humbly said: "It was not easy to make part 2 after 5 years. I am very grateful that the crew was able to do this even though all the actors had to sacrifice some personal issues." Meanwhile, Honey Lee and Kim Sung Kyun are also extremely excited when the film is about to be released.
According to the production team, part 2 of the film "The Passionate Priest" will bring joy, unique emotions and energy to the audience through the passionate acting of the cast. Each character takes on an important role, making the film more attractive.
Meanwhile, the media commented that the film has an additional advantage when recently, SBS has won the "race" for weekend drama ratings. The works that have been broadcast all recorded good results, with "Mysterious Connection" (played by Ji Sung, highest rating of 14.2%), "Perfect Partner" (played by Jang Nara, highest rating of 17.7%).
