What happens when a demon possesses a local judge?
This is the story of Disney+‘s upcoming romantic Korean crime drama “The Judge From Hell,” which features a demon sent to Earth on a mission to drag criminals back to hell.
The demon possesses Bitna, a problematic judge known for dishing out light sentences to defendants, to achieve its goal.
Widely criticized for her leniency, the public is unaware that she has been possessed by a demon.
Determined and seemingly unstoppable, things take a turn for the judge when she begins to develop feelings for Detective Daon.
Bitna is played by Park Shin-hye, who has appeared in “Doctor Slump” and “Sisyphus: The Myth,” while Kim Jae-young plays Detective Daon. Jae-young has appeared in “Love in Contract” and “Reflection of You.”
The Korean legal drama is written by Jo Isu (“The Hymn of Death”) and directed by Park Jin-pyo (“Brave Citizen,” “Love Forecast”).
“The Judge From Hell” is the latest Korean series to be announced as part of the expanding selection of unmissable APAC (Asia-Pacific Region) storytelling on Disney+.
In 2024 alone, over 10 high-quality Korean titles have been released, building on the positive momentum of its APAC content slate from 2023, which featured hits including “Moving,” “Big Bet,” and “The Worst of Evil.”
Meanwhile, “A Shop For Killers” currently stands as 2024’s most viewed local original series on Disney+ in APAC, based on views.
Later this year, several highly anticipated Korean originals will be available for streaming on Disney+ which includes “The Tyrant,” “Unmasked,” “Seoul Busters,” “Gangnam B-Side,” and “Light Shop.”
Premium, talent-driven scripted dramas in 2025 will also be available on the platform, which includes “Tempest,” “Low Life,” and “Nine Puzzles.”
