I thought the first episode was very watchable, was good fun and set the scene quite nicely. It’s a smooth production so far with a good cast. So, I think it has potential 🤩
I agree wholeheartedly - I just hope they maintain this quality until the end.
@MRS_sippi - yes, I’m hopeful they do maintain the quality until the end. Li Xian’s involvement generally means it has a good chance. So many recent shows have fallen away in their second half or last third.
At the end of six episodes, from my perspective, this is the best costume drama since The Story of Minglan. Hopefully, it continues to be this good. The attention to detail, the acting, the costuming, makeup and the sets are stunning.
What an absolute delight the first two episodes have been so far.The fun moments, and there are many, balance out some of the more serious happenings.
Plus we are getting to see good insights on the making of brocade.
Ying Ying is delightful - very smart and clever and cheeky at the same time. Seven Tan’s trade mark mischievousness really shines through. The male leads are really well suited. I think her brother is great and the mum is fabulous.
After two episodes: a cute, fun and entertaining show. We have a brewmaster empath who makes boutique beer that has finally met his match in the one person who is about to turn his whole world upside down. Kim Se Jeong has quickly made this show her own 🤩🤩🤩
I enjoyed the first episode very much. It was a good balance between establishing our characters, the issues around cosmetic surgery and the mysterious backstory.
What I really like about The Judge From Hell is it sticks to its mythology really well and doesn’t introduce the over the top cray cray that goes down a rabbit hole that we have seen in some other shows such as Island (although I liked it and it was a real hoot). That was a great ending to Ep 10!
I enjoyed this show overall. Unlike some other watchers, I started to enjoy it from the third episode onwards. And, as some have said here, it did bring a smile to my face while watching it. I wasn’t too fond of eps 9 and 10 but we got there in the end!
It’s fantastic to see Park Shin Hye as Judge Kang. She is totally owning this role and is hitting it out of the “park.” Finally, a role that she gets to show us how good she really is 🤩
Ep 50 - a superb episode. It’s worth making your way through 49 episodes just to watch this one. Brilliant but heartbreaking at the same time. The futility of war 🤔
I'm not too familiar with the Pei Yan actor but he is killing it here with the nuanced portrayal. He's initially…
Jeremy is a fantastic actor. Sadly, he retired earlier this year as he wasn’t happy with the roles he has been given in more recent times. He has an amazing deep voice - but they started dubbing him. If you ever have the time, take a look at how amazing he was in Be My Princess 😊
Well, after four episodes, I’m really enjoying DNA Lover. It’s a hoot with smatterings of more serious elements thrown in. Si Won and In Sun really do work well together.
Ep 13 - another unbelievably good episode that requires some level of appreciation regarding how violent crimes are dealt with under Korean law along with how the culture of family culture transcends the individual.
Ep 12 - as much as it was distressing, this was an amazing episode - Kdrama at its finest. The acting superb, the interactions were conveyed so well, a menacing portrayal that was believable with heart stopping and breath holding moments. I need what happens next resolved right now!

I am looking forward to the fun ride ahead.
