I may have binged this a bit. 😅
I liked the slow burn of the romance, hidden behind the mystery.
#KimJaeYoung did a breathtakingly good depiction of a young man who thought he couldn't trust anyone. Every time he felt let down was heartbreaking.
#SooYoungChoi is just good in everything I see her in, she is a very strong actress.
I like that not all fans are portrayed as lunatics, although some of them obviously were.
Over all it was really well done.
Kim Jae Young was fabulous in "The Judge from Hell" as well.
"Love in Contract" is the worst case of 2nd lead syndrome I've ever had. ( Although the cute romcom "Cheer Up" is competing hard for that honor )
That was the 1st thing I saw Kim Jae Young in & have been on a KJY quest ever since.

The Judge from Hell (2024)
(2024 - Disney+ 14 1:10 eps)
Justitia, the judge of Murderer's Hell sends a non-sinner to hell. Her punishment is to go to earth & find unforgiven, unrepentant murderers & send them to hell. She meets a detective who could foil her plans.
Great special FX, fabulous outfits, fun & relevant OST, & good writing. A lot of violence, but it fits the rage &/or vengeance of the perpetrator. Park Shin Hye in her best role yet! She did many of her own stunts. Kim Jae Young portrayed a vulnerable, tortured soul brilliantly.
"What is Justice?" is integrated into the story, with everyone judging everyone. Who & how should judging happen tie it all together. As Justitia becomes empathetic to the victims' suffering, her understanding of judging changes. The director took a weighty theme, with suspense & drama, but made it fun at times, & even teased the audience - very well done!
