With its highest rating to date, the drama fourth episode received 9.7%. The Judge from Hell is a fantasy action and legal drama that tells the tale of a demon that inhabits the body of Kang Bit Na (Park Shin Hye), a human judge, after she is sentenced to ten horrific crimes in hell. On her journey, she encounters Kim Jae Young’s Han Da On, a charming and law-abiding investigator with a troubled history.

However, Black Out, the mystery criminal thriller K-drama starring Byun Yo Han, scored the highest rating of its whole run. The drama is about to enter its last few episodes. Even with The Judge from Hell providing fierce opposition, Black Out managed a 7.9 percent national rating.
