Actress Park Shin-hye gave a meaningful smile, contrasting with the image of the rampaging sinner. SBS-TV’s “Judge from Hell” (written by Jo Isu, directed by Park Jin-pyo and Jo Eun-ji) released a preview still on the 4th. Kang Bit-na (played by Park Shin-hye) appeared in court wearing a judge’s robe.

The new episode also unveiled its veil. In Kang Bit-na’s court stood the sinner Yang Seung-bin (played by Yang Kyung-won). When he caused a disturbance, staff members restrained him.

Kang Bit-na’s changing expressions added to the intrigue. Initially, she appeared indifferent as usual, but when Yang Seung-bin raged and said, “Do you want to die too?” she looked with a smile.

The production team urged viewers to tune in, saying, “Park Shin-hye and Yang Kyung-won delivered outstanding performances in the courtroom scenes, fully expressing the urgency of their characters and situations.”

“Judge from Hell” is an action fantasy. The story revolves around a demon named Kang Bit-na, who inhabits a judge’s body and meets passionate detective Han Da-on (played by Kim Jae-young) to become a true judge.

The wicked yet charming anti-hero’s exploits are leading to rising viewership ratings. The show started with a 6.8% viewership rating in the first episode, soaring to 9.7% by the fourth episode.

Meanwhile, the fifth episode of "Judge from Hell" will air at 10 p.m. tonight.
