How does Kang Bit-na Punish Jeong Tae-gyu?

Upon arriving at his farmhouse, Tae-gyu is assured that he has managed to escape the cops and will be able to leave the country soon. However, Bit-na is aware of his location and meets him there to begin her punishment. Seeing that he remains unrepented, she begins her magic and takes him to a forest where she tells him that people like him should be hunted. She chases him with a crossbow while Tae-gyu runs for his life while being pierced by the arrows. Soon, Bit-na pierces him with multiple arrows before killing him.

But this is only the beginning as Tae-gyu opens his eyes in Bit-na’s court in hell. There she makes him have a face-off with Satan, promising a reward to whoever kills the other first. Unable to hold himself against the notorious demon, Tae-gyu soon loses the fight as Satan slashes him with his sword. Thus, Tae-gyu faces his second death before once again opening his eyes.

This time he wakes up in Han Da-on’s childhood home where he killed his family. Bit-na takes this one personally as she gets revenge on the person who hurt the man she loves so dearly. As she chops his hand and other parts the way he did for his victims, Tae-gyu once again dies and finally wakes up in his farmhouse. There, Bit-na beats him into a pulp before finally stabbing him with her dagger, engraving the symbol on his forehead and sending his soul off to hell.

What Deal Does Bael Offer Bit-na?

During her last year on earth, Bael visits the busy Bit-na and tells her that Lucifer has an offer for her. The offer states that Bit-na has to send another 10 sinners to Hell and she will be given a chance to continue her life as a human. However, he also points out his wish for her to reject the offer but will give her some time to consider.

While Bit-na is interested in the offer, over the past two years, she has developed a sense of compassion for her job and being a righteous judge. This puts her under strain as she wishes to live her life with Da-on but is not ready to let go of sinners with lighter punishments before killing them.

Will there be The Judge from Hell Season 2?

With numerous questions left unanswered, there is a chance that the show might return with another season. We do not know of Bit-na’s choice, the new cases that have come Da-on’s way, or what happened to the real Bit-na. There is a huge room for the story to continue and honestly, we would love for there to be another season of this show.
