'The Devil Judge' Poster Screams Dystopian + 3 Things to Expect From Kim Min Jung and Ji Sung's Reunion Series
The highly-awaited dystopian legal thriller, "The Devil Judge," has released a new poster. The poster looks quite phenomenal, a sign that this is no ordinary drama.
Whoever heard of the adjectives dystopian and legal used at the same time to describe a drama? None, until this Korean drama starring "Sweet Home" actress Park Gyu Young's newest drama came along.
New Poster of "The Devil Judge" Screams Dystopian
The new poster of the upcoming series showcased a courtroom that looks beyond this world or lifetime. Maybe it is, since "The Devil Judge" is reportedly a dystopian series.
It will revolve around a justice system that involves people, much like "Big Brother," where people can participate in the hearing of judicial issues and influence the outcomes through a live streaming courtroom.
Whoever thought of that concept deserves a pat on the back because that is quite unprecedented, especially on television. But not even that impossible, given the direction of technology these days.

If the poster piqued your interest, below are three more details to watch out for and anticipate when the series drops.
The Rivalry Between Two Power Judges
So far, Ji Sung, Kim Min Jung, Jin Young, Park Kyu Young, and Kim Jae Kyung are said to make up the main cast of the show.
Ji Sung plays Kang Yo Han, the so-called "devil judge" himself. Many fans are very excited about this bit, wondering whether being the devil judge meant he's allied with the bad side, after all.
His main objective, however, on paper, is to punish the greedy men in power.
Kim Min Jung takes on the role of Jeong Sun Ah, his only rival. The fact that the main rival is a woman is exciting to know. How the two will go head-on with each other and who between them is really the bad guy is worth tuning in for.
Kim Min Jung reveals, "Jung Sun Ah is the hardest to explain out of all the characters I've played."
Ji Sung and Kim Min Jung both have worked together in the past, where they starred in the 2007 MBC drama "New Heart" together. They both admitted to imagining what it would be like to work together once more before this project falls into their laps.
The thing is, there is no romance between them here, and in Ji Sung's words, it's "the devil versus the devil."
Kim Jae Kyung, on the other hand, will play another judge, Oh Jin Joo, a charming judge that has a cheerful, bouncy personality, which can border on being annoying. She's the darling of the courtroom, though, and will probably be a delight to watch.
The Romance Between Two Justice Seekers
Jin Young's role will be the associate trial judge Kim Ga On. He's described as the only person who genuinely has faith in true justice.
Park Kyu Young, notable for her role in "Sweet Home," takes on the role of Yoon Soo Hyun, the police detective in the investigation unit.
They might not be ruling the courtroom like the first two characters, but their roles are substantial because compared to those in the interactive court, they're the ones truly working for justice to happen.
The two's long friendship is being hinted at being able to develop into something more.
