The Judge from Hell Episode 5 Review

This episode opens up the door for future problems for Bit-na as her weakened state has been seen by another demon who is surely not someone who seems to be a nice person. While the demons seemed fine to Da-on, he is no less than someone living in an ignorance is bliss state. But there seems to be no bigger problem for Bit-na other than Da-on.

Another interesting concept added in this episode is of Satan and the treasure he has stolen from Lucifer. This is surely going to be the factor that directs the episode very soon along with the main couple’s ill-fated love. Altogether, the episode was intriguing yet had quite a few filters which can be an annoyance.
