The Korean fantasy action drama The Judge From Hell just keeps on growing its audience. Even though it has only five episodes left to air before coming to an end.
Last night The Judge From Hell, Episode 9, yet again, grabbed a new all-time high audience share for its Friday episode, earning 11.5 percent of the viewership nationwide.
That’s compared to last Friday’s 11.0 percent rating, and was also a viewership that placed it as the #1 most-watched show of any kind for all of Friday.
The Korean drama performed similarly with viewers in Seoul as well, earning its highest Friday rating of 11.7 percent in that region last night.
Interestingly too, The Judge From Hell continues to increase its audience with almost every new episode release, even though it airs directly opposite the superb MBC drama Doubt, which also saw a ratings increase last night.
International ratings for The Judge From Hell after Episode 9
The ratings from international viewers are also incredibly high, with those on My Drama List rating the Korean drama a very high 8.7 out of 10 (high for that website) after Episode 9.
Comments too suggest most people are enthralled with the drama and its main cast as, instead of trashing it/them as some are accustomed to do with any K-drama, most viewers are thoughtfully discussing what they love about the show:
I’m sorry but I just can’t relate to the Hate on Gremory. I am just as obsessed with her as much as I am with Bit Na. You can clearly see how much Bit Na means to her, but our crazy demon is hell bent on doing her job (Justitia take note from your hoobae).
Oh my sweet poppi Downy. I can’t wait to see Bit Na go crazy if he gets touched. Top 3 best show of the year for me.
or complimenting the writer:
I’ve never seen a kdrama nail the essence of enemies to lovers like this. Screenwriter has read many fantasy novels to fully understand what enemies to lovers is. There’s nothing truer for enemies to lovers than the main characters stabbing each other at some point of their relationship.
or worrying about other viewers 🙂 :
Is everyone okay here after watching ep 9 and especially ep 10 preview…
The next episode of The Judge From Hell, which stars Park Shin Hye and Kim Jae Young, airs later on tonight on SBS, with Disney+ streaming it internationally.
Where, by the way, it’s currently the #1 most-watched show on Disney in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
