A Masterclass in Style, a Failure in Closure
The Devil Judge has amazing acting and an awesome soundtrack, but the cool story totally drops the ball at the very end. Kang Yo-han is fantastic as the main judge, but the finale completely robs you of the satisfying revenge you wait the whole show to see. Instead of being publicly shamed on their own live TV court show, the bad guys die too quickly and painlessly in a sudden courtroom explosion. Even worse, Sun-ah shoots herself before the bomb goes off, so we never get to see Kang Yo-han actually beat her or deliver the final blow. Because the ending feels so rushed and closed-door, it drags the whole experience down. This show was on the road to becoming a masterpiece, but sadly, it got ruined by too much dragging and poor writing in the end.
