Previously, Han Da On arrested serial killer Jung Tae Gyu (Lee Kyu Han), the man who murdered his family 25 years ago. Though he considered exacting revenge personally, Han Da On chose to bring Jung Tae Gyu to trial, leaving his fate in the hands of Kang Bit Na. But just as the trial was about to begin, she received a surprise visit from Bael (Shin Sung Rok), who commanded her to release Jung Tae Gyu and send him to hell herself—or face a horrifying death if she disobeyed. The episode ended on a cliffhanger with viewers wondering what path Kang Bit Na would choose.
The newly released stills capture Kang Bit Na and Han Da On in court for Jung Tae Gyu’s trial, each fulfilling their roles as judge and witness. Kang Bit Na wears an uncharacteristically somber expression as she watches Han Da On, the only survivor of Jung Tae Gyu’s murderous spree and a bereaved family member who lost all his family due to the murders. His grief and anger are evident in Han Da On’s wavering eyes as he takes the stand to testify.
Seeing Han Da On’s pain, Kang Bit Na’s own eyes well up, showing her growing empathy toward human emotions. Her reaction heightens anticipation around the big question—what fate will Kang Bit Na ultimately decide for Jung Tae Gyu after hearing Han Da On’s heart-wrenching testimony?
The production team shared, “Episode 13, airing today, will resume the trial of serial killer Jung Tae Gyu. Han Da On will pour out the raw emotions of a grieving family member as a witness. This will be a pivotal moment in conveying the true message of our drama. The powerful performances of Park Shin Hye and Kim Jae Young add depth to the story and will leave a lasting impact on viewers. Please look forward to it.”
The next episode of “The Judge from Hell” airs on November 1 at 10 p.m. KST.
