The Judge from Hell‘s Park Shin Hye is caught in a moment of heartbreaking vulnerability, hinting at a possible farewell with Kim Jae Young.
The drama, which has captivated audiences with the intense, complex relationship between Kang Bit Na (Park Shin Hye) and Han Da On (Kim Jae Young), continues to deliver suspense and passion. What began as a dynamic filled with suspicion and pursuit has evolved into a deep connection where both characters are willing to risk everything to protect each other. The compelling performances from Park Shin Hye and Kim Jae Young have significantly heightened the show’s emotional impact.
In episode 12, Kang Bit Na finally exposed the identities of serial killer J and Satan. It was revealed that serial killer J is actually Jeong Tae Gyu (Lee Kyu Han), who made a pact with Satan (Park Ho San), inhabiting Jeong Jae Geol’s (Kim Hong Pa) body, to kill people on Satan’s behalf. As Kang Bit Na managed to confront Satan, Han Da On found himself face-to-face with Jeong Tae Gyu. Though enraged at the killer’s audacity, he chose to bring Tae Gyu to justice rather than take matters into his own hands.
However, Kang Bit Na now stands at a crossroads. If she doesn’t release Jeong Tae Gyu and send him to hell by killing him, she herself risks disappearing. Viewers are reminded of the ominous prophecy from Gabriel (Kim Yeong Ok), who had warned Han Da On that being with Kang Bit Na meant one of them was destined to die.
On October 31st, the production team released stills of an emotional encounter between Kang Bit Na and Han Da On, stirring even more anticipation. The images are from scenes set to air in episode 13 on November 1st. In the photos, Kang Bit Na gazes at Han Da On with a mixture of sadness and longing, as if hiding something. Han Da On, still unaware of the looming threat, looks at her lovingly yet seems to sense that something is off.
The production team commented, “In episode 13, the relationship between Kang Bit Na and Han Da On will reach a major turning point. The truth behind Gabriel’s prophecy—that one must die if they stay together—will also become clearer. Park Shin Hye and Kim Jae Young have delivered masterful, nuanced performances, capturing the drama and emotion of their characters’ intertwined fates.”
The Judge from Hell episode 13 will air on November 1st at 10 PM KST, with the series finale airing on November 2nd at 9:50 PM KST in an 80-minute special.
