bc she is cute and has great legs

she got some great legs wow. No skeleton skinny as usual but real legs

Hey judge killing ppl is not cool. When fighting a monster, you canNOT become a monster

Also, I dont like the idea of encouraging the "victim" to rejoice in revengeful killing.
Also, even if they are just mocking, it is a huge risk, what if something had gone wrong and that boulder fell... The Judge is not a trained James Bond with 10000% precision. Ok this is a drama but .... it lets kids grow up with wrong ideas :)

Fashion comment: recently GREEN and burgundy was discovered as a color that works well on Koreans that have lighter brown hair and eyes. Ji Sung is wearing a dark green shirt at the end of ep 5 and it looks great, with dark blue/burgundy/gold tie. Earlier in the ep he was wearing a greenish tie and that was cool too. Can this Love Be Translated wore bright blue shirt with a dark blue tie that had neonish green pattern, and a dark blue coat. So yeeah another new color is bright blue shirts for men.
Ji Sung also wears washed navy blue coat with burgundy/ gray/ light gray tie and it looks good, with off white bluish grayish shirt off the same color as the light stripe on the tie, and olive pants. Then he wears that same off white grayish shirt - or very similar - with a tan coat and a tie that is dark navy blue with thin burgundy and silver and double stripes in that tan coat color.

Interesting!!!! How did they think of those color combinations??? !!!! it is amazing.

All kdramas have unique costuming and hair style for all actors and create separate characters with that. It is incredibly creative.

Black hair guy like Kang dude is wearing a light gray suit and that looks great on him.

It all looks very good. Whoeveer is putting together the wardrobe, has an amazing sense of color

I like Ji Sung's Judge fashion and clothes, shortish baggy pants and a normal length coat for work in Seoul and a short baggy jacket for work in Cheong... - and white socks!!!! in Seoul too LOL he is definitely different as all those dudes wear dark socks with leather shoes. He is not wearing white sneakrs but some kind of dark shoes though. I have to check that.

The best part imo is Ji Sung's Judge hair, all spikey up, like he never combed it. It totally matches his character in his drama and generally the way he acts - he is a troublemaker and a jester. Was he a nightmare rowdy kid and found a way to make a living out of it... ? He looks it for sure LOL

Omg Chef Brother "Gordon Ramsey" Jun Ho is actually the paid henchman killer in THe Judge Returns, the end of ep 4 and the start of ep 5 has him take off his mask and it is him.. with a dead serious face.. that looks thinner than in First Man. and he cut Ji Sung... dapuna... sekiya....

ALSO, he is ML in Positively Yours which just aired this weekend. The same role always - very serious poker face... I wonder IF he can act :(

Yeah there are two possibilities, but it is one Kang boy.
bc this drama tends to go from one scene to a different scene with an answer, when Evil CeO was thinking of her son, the camera want to Cook Brother...
And it is for sure it is one of the brothers bc Professor's Wife keeps treating her husband and Cook Brother and keeps calling him "Son" - and totally ignores the other brother. So either Cook Bro is adopted and she tries to "include" him or he is a real son and Lawyer Bro is adopted (more probable). It would be more wicked that Lawyer Bro is Ha Neul, son of arch enemy of Poor Sister, and is in love with Poor Sister, and Cook Brother ends up with Rich Sister, and his father cheated with her mother.

yeah.. that's why movies and dramas often provide false hope and delusional fantasies LOL And vice versa... sometimes life is a lot crazier low-chance event that you could ever imagine...

Ah there is Idol I, with its deep dialogue and deep social commentary... and No tails to Tell with its totally rowdy comedy.... and even To my Beloved Thief, with its equisite dialogues and tight plot.... and even a sticky realistic melodrama Love Me... and all those have *excellent* acting.... so... the competition is steep :) and I am glad!!!! So many great choices, long live kdramas!!!!
I will be glued to the tube for days and days....

That is true and not true :) you know why? bc we all get delusional and thins WE are the right person and then we get dragged down by this insufferable parasite... who is NOT changing LOL and we think - oh it just takes time... and then... 10, 20, 30 years later... we realize the time expired LOL

to really nail it and really BE that right person who will emanate the change... that ... happens rarely :)

Ji Sung acting style is to exaggerate ... He acts the inner hidden feelings of his character, he shows what a normal person WOULD behave like if there were no limits, i.e. how they would LIKE to behave if they could, but they cannot so they restrain themselves to honor the social norms... He behaves to show the inner emotional state, so it is always amplified over the top acting and it creates comedy

for example:
I will always remember him sitting on the sofa next to his evil fatjher in law and fidgeting and rolling his eyes in fear... LMAO

dailymotion, dramacool, dramanice, myasiantv, goplay, febspot, billibilli mkvdrama are all free BUT some have malware like kissasian and all of them have ads and tracking

Just type into google "judge return ep 1 eng sub" and see what comes up, If nothing comes uo then try specific like "judge return ep 1 eng sub dramacool"

Hm you say NO ratings ar relevant anymore, or just TV ratings?
I think ratngs are meaningful in some sense - it is a measure of one particular group. Viki Ratings tend to be realistic, MDL ratings tend to be "what teenagers voted for" etc So you have to know the audience. But for some dramas, it is kinda universal.
So yeah ratings ar super iffy but still somewhat useful imo.

wow I am gonna check that out!

but his ex is an airhead and the mean clan member... I dont think she can be changed. ,, and I wouldnt wait or count on it.
If he feels that she got it in her... fine.. but I dont feel it. She seems a lost case to me.

"characters take one step forward and then, when another problem arises, they take two steps back in terms of their development."
indeed, this is the value of a good script - to show that and not let the drama drag... to pick to show JUST THE RIGHTS MOMENTS that demonstrate that... That is hard.
Also, the mastery is showing the happy end BEFORE the drama ends, so that we can see the characters take 2 steps back and then finally make it to a real happy end. When I see the main couple getting married in the last 2 minutes of drama i am thinking omg we never got to see the true test, how they gonna live after the wedding

I am thinking of masterful kmovie Family by Choice where the drama takes literally ONE scene to convey how wickedly selfish FL is. Her kid is drawing something to give her and she is ignoring it and going to a meeting... something like that. I just remember the scene, the kid under the staircase and mom looking totally blaze ... and leaving. That was literally 2 minutes that totally busted the good image FL had created, it explained that character and set the stage.

judge Returns managed to squeeze entire background story into ep 1

Some dramas drag it, like Queens house 100 ep daily took 30 episodes for FL naive phase...

Ppl who vote the most reviews are youngsters, who inherently suffer from hormones, so they will vote for TMI skinship, kisses, and violence. Also there are paid trolls from competition

Ooooh you missed it then - what kind of shows do you usually watch? This show requires turning the brain ON as the concepts discussed are very deep and serious.

Gumiho had lots of voice over in ep 1 about the human condition .... and her unethical way of making money out of it...
and the idea MONEY CAN BUY YOU EVERYTHING... until it clashes with the Law of Heaven...

Gumiho and deity talked about duties of Gumihos, the Law of heaven and karmic consenquences for Gumihos and this rogue criminal one in particular...

and yeah we saw WHY and how she was punished and how she had to fix her karma...

That scale where she sees her current karmic standing... is a POWERFUL concept... She has to do good deeds or else the Heavens will just cancel her existence... DO you think that law holds only for Gumihos?

Soccer player had no wishes He was happy with his life. How many ppl are?

2ML had a terrible misfortune and how did he handle it?

Soccer player got beaten up bc someone else bribed the coach and moved up... but then... bc of Gumiho... it all changed...

This theme of human fragility yet immense power, and influence of the Heavens on human life... is a very very very powerful concept

and learnng about the fragility of human condition... one car accident, your dreams and life are over... one Gumiho whim... and your life is over.. .. or soaring... .

and so on and on and on and on!!!!

Hey ya all, this drama has a great potential and should be a global hit if it continues like this.

Someone should start posting parts of ep 1 and 2 on tik tok... Therr are so many HILARIOUS scenes... If you have the time and know how, share those brilliant moments...

Like... when he holds her and she opens the tails... After fast travel, standing there asking her what it was - he was sooo polite yet indicating he saw something cooky LOL his face was sooo funny.... Then holding her hand and asking her for more and she fluttering.. that was a hilarious scene too.
Then the killer getting out of the car to confess.. LMAO I was rolling laughing LOL

There are so many other scenes...

Ok now I have to get back to work ... See ya next week!

nice to meet you then, I appreciate your good taste in dramas :)

those are a minority here ... most comments are positive ....

This show is super stellar and should become a global hit, so competition must be super upset, trolls must be very active

And.... Not everyone likes every show
