The Devil Judge

After a mystery plague's disaster is quelled in two years, Korea's government prepares an unprecedented trial judged by the people. Presiding is Kang Yo-han, a judge famed for ruthless justice. But is justice his true aim? Ga-on, a new associate judge, starts to doubt the man everyone reveres...

Judge Yo-han yawns before a weeping victim. As everyone cheers his rulings, Ga-on's distrust of him only deepens. Yo-han invites him into his strange yet dazzling world, and a taut tug-of-war begins between the unreadable Yo-han and the Ga-on determined to read him.

A bombing at the judge's chambers shocks the whole nation. Is it terrorism, or a warning to Yo-han? Still his race toward justice goes on. What is the next trial he's preparing? Meanwhile, Ga-on, who passed out saving Yo-han, wakes in a lonely mansion, before a girl whose eyes mix anger and grief.

Yo-han's brother resembled Ga-on, and Yo-han may have killed him. Ji Young-ok's shocking claims deepen Ga-on's confusion, and with Su-hyun he digs into Yo-han's past. Meanwhile, having failed to drop charges against her son Young-min, Cha Kyung-hee rages and seeks any way to save him...

I'm the one deceiving him, so why am I the one confused? As Ga-on settles naturally into life at the mansion, Yo-han keeps seeing his late brother in him. Meanwhile, with her son Young-min flogged and her standing shaken, Cha Kyung-hee attempts a secret deal to fight Yo-han's trials...

Seon-ah's true identity is finally revealed. Mocking Yo-han's claim that he has nothing to lose, she delivers a cruel warning. Just how much does she know about him? Meanwhile, while Yo-han is held, Ga-on spends time with Elijah and stumbles, in an unexpected place, on a clue to Yo-han's dark past.
