The Judge From Hell Ep 14 ends K-drama with steady ratings as #2 show of the day

I must say, it is surprising to me that The Judge From Hell, Episode 14 aired last night and did not end the series on a ratings high.

Instead, the final episode of the supernatural K-drama ended the series with steady ratings — both nationwide and in Seoul — but nowhere near the high it reached for Episode 8 in both regions.(13.6 percent nationwide and 13.7 percent in Seoul).

I guess the Korean drama peaked too early, eh?

That nationwide rating for The Judge From Hell, Episode 14 last night, by the way, was still a very strong 11.9 percent — much higher than the 6.8 percent the K-drama started at when it premiered, and also the same rating it earned for Episode 13 on Friday night.

In Seoul, the final episode of the SBS K-drama grabbed a slightly lower 11.3 percent, which was a drop from its penultimate episode’s 12.0 percent on Friday.

Both those ratings, however, still made the K-drama the #2 most-watched show of the day, behind the KBS2 weekend drama Iron Family, which grabbed first place with its ratings of 15.2 percent nationwide and 13.1 percent in Seoul.

Overall, The Judge From Hell ended its 14-episode run earning a ratings average per episode of 10.8 percent nationwide, and a slightly higher 10.9 percent from Seoul audiences.

Both ratings that place it as one of the most-watched K-dramas of 2024.

The Judge From Hell stars Park Shin Hye and Kim Jae Young.

All 14 episodes can now be watched via Disney+ in some international regions.
