A judge from hell gets her own taste of damnation when she is condemned to rise to the world of the living in the thoroughly enjoyable legal thriller The Judge from Hell, starring Park Shin-hye (Doctor Slump).

Park plays Kang Bit-na, a judge from the Seoul District Court who is stabbed by an unknown assailant in a park on a snowy night. After being compelled to walk through an ominous portal, she finds herself in a court of the underworld presided over by the demon Justicia (Oh Na-ra).

This court is reserved exclusively for murderers and Bit-na, as a victim of murder, is not among them. Nevertheless, the impatient Justicia condemns Bit-na for her impertinence, brands her with her devil stamp and sends her to Gehenna (in the Bible a place similar to Hades).
