SBS Friday-Saturday Drama 'Judge from Hell'

Actor Kim Jae-hwa has made the living room resonate with his dense acting.

The SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge from Hell' (written by Jo Yi-soo, directed by Park Jin-pyo, produced by Studio S) is an action fantasy where the devil Kang Bit-na (played by Park Shin-hye) enters the body of a judge and meets the humane and passionate detective Han Da-on (played by Kim Jae-young) in a hellish reality, punishing criminals and becoming a true judge.

In the unwavering hot topic 'Judge from Hell', Kim Jae-hwa plays the role of Jang Myung-sook, the owner of Hwangcheon Villa where Kang Bit-na lives, and is a scene-stealer in every episode. In the drama, Jang Myung-sook is always smiling brightly and living warmly, giving to those around her, and she is shown as the best neighbor in Hwangcheon Villa.

Jang Myung-sook is a devout believer who attends church every day and is a deacon at the Pigeon Wing Church, showing fantastic chemistry with the devils. He recklessly evangelized to the devils, making them flustered and making viewers laugh out loud. On the other hand, in the previous broadcast, a scene that seemed to hint that there was someone targeting Myung-sook who was returning home with a Bible in the dark of night was revealed, creating extreme tension.

Jang Myung-sook's story reached a dramatic peak in the previous broadcast. The fact that he, who was always thought to be a bright and cheerful neighbor, was the victim's family member who was sacrificed by serial killer J revealed his heartbreaking past. The fact that Myung-sook had not left Hwangcheon Villa for 25 years and had worked hard to protect it was to meet serial killer J, who killed her son Ye-chan, again brought tears to viewers' eyes.

In addition, when Bit-na, who heard Myung-sook's story, said that she had to kill her without anyone knowing, she replied, "No. You absolutely cannot die without me knowing," and "I have something I have to ask you when I meet you. That way, my life's regret will be relieved," raising curiosity about what Myung-sook will ask serial killer J, and it also garnered more attention by suggesting that Kang Bit-na's actions have entered a new phase.

Kim Jae-hwa showed off a wide acting spectrum in previous films such as "Smuggling," "The Brilliant Girl," and "To Her." In the film "Smuggling," she transformed into a female diver pig mother and showed off a fantastic acting ensemble with the female diver crew including Kim Hye-soo and Yum Jeong-ah, creating unprecedented synergy and adding tension to the play.

Then, in the film "The Brilliant Girl," she played the role of Kumiko, the only right-hand man of Ki-hyung (played by Son Byung-ho), who owns hundreds of billions of won, and a secret. Kim Jae-hwa perfectly pulled off splendid action scenes and added to the fun of the play with her tiki-taka chemistry with the crooks. In the film "To Her," she played the role of Sang-yeon, a political reporter who unexpectedly became the mother of a disabled child, and realistically portrayed the role of the parent of a developmentally disabled child, drawing sympathy from the audience.

Kim Jae-hwa proved his ability as an actor by delicately expressing the various emotional changes of Jang Myeong-suk, who had to live with the sorrow of losing her child in 'Judge from Hell' with his solid acting skills. In particular, the scene where he runs out barefoot without shoes and falls down in front of the cross with bloody feet and cries asking for just one prayer to be heard was a high-density emotional scene that only he could digest, instantly drawing the viewers' immersion.

Viewers responded enthusiastically to Kim Jae-hwa's divine acting, saying, "His acting was really great", "His heart-wrenching acting was really great", "Thanks to Kim Jae-hwa, the immersion in the latter half of 'Judge' increased even more. His acting alone filled up the relatively small part of the drama", "If there was one scene of acting that I could recommend this year, this would be it". In addition, expectations for the year-end award ceremonies were also skyrocketing. Various SNS posts said, "Will win the acting award. It was really heartbreaking”, “I hope Kim Jae-hwa receives an acting award at the end of the year”, etc., and it swept up the viewers’ favorable reviews.

Meanwhile, SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama “Judge from Hell,” in which Kim Jae-hwa, who has shown a thousand faces in various works, changes his face in each episode to simultaneously deliver sadness and tension, airs every Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m. Reporter
