The Judge From Hell kdrama – Episode 8 Recap and Spoilers.
According to the viewership ratings research company Nielsen Korea on October 13, the 8th episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama The Judge From Hell which aired on October 12, recorded 13.7% in the metropolitan area and 13.6% nationwide, breaking its own highest record yet again. This is the number 1st place for all Saturday broadcasts and all weekly programs. The peak viewership rating soared to a whopping 16.1%, and the 2049 viewership rating also swept the overall 1st place for the week with 4.4%. Amid the new drama war, The Judge From Hell showed its overwhelming power as its viewership ratings increased.
On this day’s broadcast, the roller coaster-like relationship between Kang Bit-na (Park Shin-hye) and Han Da-on (Kim Jae-young) reached a major turning point. Han Da-on, who was pushed to the edge, reached out to Kang Bit-na with a desperate cry. Kang Bit-na, who grabbed her hand, shed tears as she empathized with Han Da-on’s emotions.
On this day, Kang Bit-na and Han Da-on discovered a gunshot sound and red bloodstains while Kim So-young (Kim Hye-hwa) was missing. As the serial killer J, who killed Han Da-on’s entire family 25 years ago, emerged as a strong suspect in this case, Kang Bit-na’s heart began to beat painfully again as she watched Han Da-on shake with anger.
Meanwhile, the trial of Choi Won-joong (Oh Eui-sik), a conglomerate criminal, was also held. Choi Won-joong exerted all kinds of external pressure using money and power. Kang Bit-na made a slap on the wrist in court in order to punish Choi Won-joong. Choi Won-joong, who did not apologize to the victims’ families and instead went to a church to shout that he was saved by God. Choi Won-joong’s arrogant attitude and dismissive attitude toward the police’s offer of personal protection were infuriating in themselves. At
the same time, Han Da-on appeared in front of Kang Bit-na, who was heading out to punish Choi Won-joong. Kang Bit-na brought up the story of the serial killer J and suggested to Han Da-on, “Don’t chase me, help me. I’ll find that guy and make him pay.” Han Da-on, who could not accept this suggestion, hugged Kang Bit-na tightly and said, “Thank you for believing me and telling me it wasn’t my fault.”
After that, Kang Bit-na’s real trial against the criminal Choi Won-joong began. As always, Kang Bit-na executed Choi Won-joong in an eye-for-an-eye (an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth) manner. While the impactful execution scene provided a thrilling immersion, a shocking twist was revealed. Han Da-on filmed Kang Bit-na executing Choi Won-joong and dragging him out. It turned out that Han Da-on had attached a location tracker to Kang Bit-na’s clothes when they had hugged each other earlier.
While Kang Bit-na was shaking with betrayal, Han Da-on subdued Kang Bit-na with sulfur powder and handcuffed her. Kang Bit-na was unable to move for several hours because of the sulfur powder. At that moment, Han Da-on’s cell phone rang. It was a call that Kim So-young had been found. Kim So-young was dead. Next to Kim So-young’s body was a mark that seemed to belong to serial killer J.
Kim So-young was the person who had been the greatest strength to Han Da-on, who had lost all of her family to serial killer J. She was a mother, an older sister, and a family more like family than her own family. The miserable Han Da-on went to find Kang Bit-na herself. And she destroyed the cell phone containing the evidence. Han Da-on then shouted to Kang Bit-na to kill the serial killer J, or rather, to catch him together and kill him herself.
When Kang Bit-na refused, Han Da-on screamed, “After I kill that bastard, you kill me and send me to hell. Then, I’ll gladly die by your hand.” Kang Bit-na said, “I’ll definitely keep that promise,” and turned around. At that moment, Kang Bit-na’s heart pounded and tears fell from her eyes. The devil’s tears. It was a powerful, impactful ending to the 8th episode that hinted at a big change in the future development.
Kang Bit-na and Han Da-on had been wary and suspicious of each other, playing tag. They were even in a situation where Han Da-on, a police officer, had no choice but to try to stop Kang Bit-na, a devil, from punishing criminals. However, starting with the ending of the 8th episode, the relationship between the two is expected to change properly. Now, they may be able to join hands. Not only the relationship, but also the emotional line of the two is expected to change greatly as Kang Bit-na empathizes with Han Da-on’s anger and even sheds tears. This is expected to be an important viewing point of The Judge from Hell that has passed the middle part.
SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama The Judge from Hell, which properly explodes the dopamine of viewers with a strong story and unpredictable development every episode, airs every Friday and Saturday at 10 PM.
