Tell me it's a subtle South Korean Hannibal without telling me it is...

I suppose only people who have watched Hannibal will see the parallels, and I saw them all. The context is so different, but the key moments and characters are all there! I won't go into detail about how the shows line up because this review is meant to be about The Devil Judge, which is just fantastic in the same visual, emotional, indulgent and treacherously intriguing way that Hannibal NBC was, while being an entire treat by itself in it's interesting story. I did not mind a single second of all 16 eps.

I don't know if the writer of this has actually watched Hannibal or if the energy of this show was coincidental, but either way, it was a hell of a fix and a damn good watch.

That said, this show checks ALL of my boxes, so it may not be to everyone's taste and my review is totally based on my bias.
For those who like a clear line between good and bad, this is not for you, the 'good guys' are not the focus, but the 'right guys' on the other hand...

All GOOD, no BAD or UGLY. I've already rewatched it and I will do so again.

This show made me a FAN ya'll. And Ji Sung is perfection.
