I thoroughly enjoyed The Devil Judge for its outstanding cinematography, sharp editing, and Ji Sung's exceptional performance. However, while the first half (up to episodes 9/10) was gripping and brilliantly written, the latter half felt too draggy, packed with excessive angst, and kind of cartoonish. Additionally, I found Ga-On's character (played by Jinyoung) frustratingly inconsistent—his constant shifts in loyalty made him come across as immature and unreliable.

Overall, it’s a solid series that had the potential to be even better, particularly in its second half.
