Park Shin-hye's True Education Cider SBS 'Hell Judge' Secret to a Great Success 3 [TV Watch]

Thedevil's activities, which are at the forefront of implementing justice after being demoted while working in hell and possessing Kang Bit-na's body, are receiving a hot response from viewers. The viewership ratings, which started at 6.8%, recently surpassed 13% in the 6th episode. If this trend continues, the next milestone will be 20%. How did 'Judge from Hell' captivate the public? Secret 3.▲The story is not elaborate. The police station and the courtroom are the main settings, but the investigation and the judgement are lacking in detail and structure. The relationships between the characters are also somewhat sloppy. All of these shortcomings are forgiven because of the fast pace and the relentless dramatic development. Each episode features a different heinous crime and the key points are how the two-faced criminals are brought to ruin by the devil judge.

Actress Park Shin-hye shows her scalability with SBS's 'Judge from Hell' (Newsen)The place where the wicked are judged is not a solemn court. Kang Bit-na actually finds them not guilty in court and quietly takes them to a private space to punish them cruelly. She even brands their foreheads and returns them to the same way they committed their crimes. Even if they claim to be mentally weak or kneel down and pretend to reflect belatedly, the punishment does not stop. It is a coldness that says, “Well, why did you do something you should reflect on?”An SBS executive said, “The distrust in the courts, which causes heinous criminals not to pay the price properly, is paradoxically one of the driving forces behind the drama’s popularity.” This interpretation is that “since the law cannot fully address the resentment of the victims and their families, they try to satisfy it vicariously through fantasy.” Some say that the increasingly tense social atmosphere, including the endless occurrence of random stabbing incidents, also increased interest in the private revenge drama.▲Park Shin-hye’s outstanding acting skills

'Judge from Hell' poster with outstanding programming strategy (SBS)Park Shin-hye, who plays the role of the Hell Judge, is the center of this drama. In the past, there were criticisms that her acting couldn't keep up with her looks, and that she always plays innocent candy roles, but she completely blew them all away this time. Her comeback drama after marriage, 'Doctor Slump', left a somewhat disappointing result, but she has made up for it with 'The Hell Judge'. For the time being, her casting status is expected to rise not only in terrestrial broadcasting but also in cable, OTT, and other genre dramas.A representative of a drama PR company said, "'The Hell Judge' is based on Roman mythology and mixes various religions such as Christianity, Buddhism, and totems." "Casting a beautiful female protagonist with evil nature was a key factor in the success or failure of the drama, and Park Shin-hye did a great job. It seems like her second heyday after giving birth began with this drama." A manager also added, "Park Shin-hye has properly lived up to her nickname and showed outstanding acting skills," and "In the past, she played innocent and tragic roles, but seeing her do such a strong character well, it seems that her fundamentals are solid."▲SBS’s programming strategy also hit the mark. ‘Hell Judge’ aired episodes 1 and 2 back-to-back on September 21. While the first episode of every drama is a warm-up, introducing characters and laying the groundwork for the story, ‘Devil Judge’ is said to have been effective in bundling episodes 2, which feature the main events, into one package and airing them all at once. The ‘cage’ programming strategy of keeping viewers tied up as much as possible without them leaving worked.A drama insider said, “SBS is famous for being the most clever in programming among terrestrial and cable channels, and it seems like their strategy worked this time as well.” He added, “If episodes 1 and 2 were not aired separately but aired back-to-back, there would have been many issues, such as the advertisements that were being passed over, but this shows that SBS and Studio S are working well together.” These days, there is a lot of talk about the crisis, such as ‘who watches terrestrial dramas these days?’ However, this drama shows that those who survive to the end are veterans who know how to use the fierce storm to their advantage.
