As part of her penance, Justitia is placed in Bit-na's body, now tasked with living as a judge in the human world for a year while fulfilling a far darker mission: to track down and condemn ten ruthless individuals responsible for the deaths of others, all without a trace of remorse.

With no interest in the lives around her, Justitia's only focus is to carry out her mission and send these souls to Hell, knowing failure means her own demise.

Soon, she encounters Han Da-on, a sharp-witted detective of Violent Crimes Unit 2 at Nobong Police Station, who's known for his meticulous approach to justice.

Unaware of Bit-na's true identity, he begins to investigate the strange cases connected to her judgments, and his own painful past gradually coming to light.

Produced by SBS' content production subsidiary Studio S, The Judge from Hell was written by Jo Yi-soo and directed by Park Jin-pyo.
