Actor Park Shin-hye made a perfect transformation by showing a 180-degree different appearance in SBS Friday-Saturday drama 「Judge from Hell」. Park Shin-hye, who was called the `Loco Queen', turned into a powerful demon judge in this work, showed cider punishment, and fired a signal of success from the beginning.

'Judge from hell' is a fantasy action drama with a unique setting in which a demon is embedded in the body of a judge and he punishes a sinner. Park Shin-hye broke down into Kang Bit-na, a judge with demon Justi Tia, and directly punished the perpetrators of social violence in a hellish reality, giving viewers a pleasant revenge. After the first broadcast, the ratings were 6.8% in the first episode and 9.3% in the second episode, signaling a smooth start.

In the play, Moon Jung-joon, the perpetrator of social violence, is released as a fine using the loopholes of the strong law, and then punished him by directly punishing him. Park Shin-hye took revenge on Moon Jung-joon with an eye for an eye and this way, attracting viewers' attention with her intense action and cutthroat performance. In this scene, Park Shin-hye showed a wide spectrum of acting by transforming into a harsh yet intense demon judge who is completely different from the existing image.

The drama deals with social violence, which has emerged as a big social problem, and has provided viewers with vicarious satisfaction with satire on the legal limitations of reality. The setting of pointing out the inadequacies of the law and Kang Bit-na's ruthless punishment approached viewers with a pleasant revenge play. However, some viewers expressed concerns about excessive stimulation and sensationality.

Park's transformation played a major role in the drama's successful start. Park Shin-hye, who has mainly played challenging characters in romantic comedies, gave viewers a fresh shock by showing off her sometimes comical, sometimes cuteness as a cold-blooded devil judge in the film. Her rich acting skills and various facial expressions completely melted into the character, and her luxurious fashion style also drew attention.

Kang Bit-na is not just a judge, but an anti-hero, who realizes justice in his own way and increases the immersion of the play. In the future, I am looking forward to seeing what kind of sinners Kang Bit-na will punish with detective Han Da-on (Kim Jae-young). Viewers are paying attention to how much more repercussions Park Shin-hye's drastic transformation will have.
