'The Devil Judge': Air time, how to watch and trailer of tvN dystopian K-drama
One of the most anticipated K-Dramas of the month, 'The Devil Judge', a supposed courtroom drama, is the newest take on the dystopic genre that has been rising since the success of shows like 'Sweet Home' and 'Kingdom'. Boasting of a star-studded cast that has Jisung of 'Kill Me, Heal Me' fame to 'It’s Okay To Not Be Okay’s' Park Gyu-young and K-Pop idol Jinyoung of GOT7, the drama has garnered a wide range of interest.
In fact, 'The Devil Judge' will be replacing the K-Drama 'Mine' that starred none other than Ji-sung’s wife Lee Bo-young as the main lead. While most current dramas are based on webtoons, 'The Devil Judge' is breaking norms by having it being adapted into a webtoon. The webtoon will be released at the same time as the drama for fans of both mediums to enjoy the storyline.

Where to watch
The 16-episode drama will air on the South Korean channel tvN and can also be seen on the online streaming platform, Viki.
Plot
The drama is set in dystopian Korea where the world is in chaos as people live in a Purge-like situation, relegating to crime and looting. With no law & order in sight, Judge Kang Yo-han steps in with a vision of ruling and bring justice back to society. However, his ruthless method of turning court trials for criminals into a reality show gives him the moniker Devil Judge. While he seems like an outright evil figure, his mysterious actions showcase that there is something more than what meets the eye.
As the one in control, unsurprisingly, he gains many enemies like Jung Sun-ah. Having fought tooth and nail to become the director of a corporate social responsibility foundation, Sun-ah’s aim is to take down the Devil Judge. Along with that, two best friends, Kim Ga-on, an amateur judge that works for Yo-han and Yoon Soo-hyun, a police detective, try to untangle the web that those in power have laid for them.
