I’m on leave, finally. I’m not traveling anywhere, just staying at home and resting, but still it’s so nice – not having to think about work for a week and a half.
I’m using that time to work on my sign-up for Guardian Wishlist, but it’s slow going. I know I want stuff for Guardian and The Rebel, but I’m still trying to decide if I want something else, too.
And The Devil Judge is nearing to an end, so I decided to make a longer post about it.
It’s a Korean drama set in a dystopian version of South Korea in a near future where a few have a lot and many have nothing, and where the government officials only think about their own interest and don’t care about wellbeing of other people. There is unrest on the streets and the President establishes a courtroom live show airing on television – the trails are public and the viewers can vote if the defendant is guilty or innocent. The main character Kang Yo Han is a Chief Judge with his own agenda, a tragic past, and a lot of secrets.
I never saw Ji Sung in anything else, but he is wonderful here, and very beautiful. And he has great chemistry with Park Jin Young, who plays Kim Ga On – one of two associate judges, who work with Kang Yo Han. They are very slashable and I ship them. I read a few fics already, but it’s hard to find something I would like, because it looks like all fluff all the time on AO3, and I want something angsty and complicated.
Ji Sung and Park Jin Young have great chemistry not just on screen, but behind the scenes, too, like for instance in this poster shooting video.
More below with major spoilers for all aired episodes, and with a few fanvid recs.
