The Judge from Hell (지옥에서 온 판사) brings an experience like no other as we witness a mix of crime, romance, comedy, and a journey like no other. Accompanying these varied feelings is the beautiful OST that heightens every moment of the show as it shows the demon judge Kang Bit-na’s journey to gain human emotions. Directed by Park Jin-pyo, the show stars Park Shin-hye, Kim Jae-young, Kim In-kwon, Kim Hye-hwa, Lee Joong-ok, Choi Dong-goo, alongside other cast members.
The Kdrama follows Kang Bit-na aka Justicia’s journey into the human realm where she is sent as a punishment for her wrong judgement. With the task of sending 10 unrepenting sinners to hell within a year, she begins passing out unfair judgements so that she can kill them herself and finish her task. However, this catches the eye of a cop- Han Da-on, who suspects her connection to these killings.
The drama has been a favourite among many as it ended with a high rating and became a topic of discussion among fans. Everything from the plot to the actors’ performance and their wonderful chemistry struck the audience and kept them hooked until the end. The show was a true delight to watch and while it left us with quite a few questions, we wouldn’t mind another season of Park Shin-hye’s demonic avatar that kept us entertained.
Among the elements that struck the audience in the show, the original soundtrack was one that really heightened the atmosphere of every moment. Taking us from hell to the journey of a notorious demon who slowly falls in love, the track list was absolutely perfect and there is no way we are missing out on sharing it right here!
With this, let’s begin with The Judge from Hell OST which created the real atmosphere of the show.
The Judge from Hell OST
Gehenna by Jeon Chang-yeop and Kim Hyun-joon
The track that really took us to hell and formed the dark, mystic atmosphere of the show, Gehenna is the song that surrounds us with an intense feeling that cannot be overlooked. This intro song is the one we began every episode with and it brought hell right to our screens with its eerie feels and beautiful orchestral music that is just perfect. This is the song that screams Justicia for the demon that she truly is.
Boomerang by Jessi
Another hit track that takes us into the world of Justicia as Kang Bit-na, Boomerang is the song that is filled with a strong savage vibe of our judge from hell. This track is fit for the judge who sends sinners to hell without a care for anything else and shows the true madness of Bit-na. Boomerang is truly a powerful song and with Jessi’s voice, it is a song that hits bullseye. Accompanied by the striking performance given by Park Shin-hye, this song took us on a maddening rollercoaster that brought pleasure from the demon’s work.
Crossroad by Sunmi
Finally, the song that shows the humanised side of Kang Bit-na, this song leaves you with a softer feeling while the demon judge begins to cry for a human. Crossroad is a track that is so beautifully sung and fits in the right places in the show as Bit-na feels conflicted because of her new emotions. This track takes us through the beautiful bond formed between the demon and her human as they slowly fall in love against all odds.
