Jisung is phenomenal in The Devil Judge. I’ve seen two of his previous dramas but his acting wasn’t memorable for me. But man oh man is he good as Yohan. I haven’t enjoyed an actor’s performance like this in a while. He’s brilliant.
To be fair, I’ve probably seen him in two of his less hyped dramas, New Heart and Dr. John. I’ve heard KMHM is great and his acting is superb but I’ve always put it off as I’m not a fan of his costars. But who knows I might need more Jisung content after Devil Judge is over.
Yes, Hwang Jung-eum was unbearably over the top and the most unlikely psychiatrist ever, but I loved Park Seo-joon in a very difficult role in it too. (That was first time I saw him too). I saw JI Sung in Secret Love and Innocent Defendant before KMHM. Both were angst filled and a lesser actor in either of those roles would have been terrible, but he carried it off. I’m sure beanies had lots to say about the questionable aspects of those two dramas, but I suspended criticism and simply got caught up in his character, He is always convincing imo, even in Dr John.
I just remembered one that was v evocative, Swallow the Sun. It has some strange digressions, but you can taste the salt in the wind on Jeju, and Jun Kwang-ryul also plays a memorable role in this drama. Ji Sung hits all the right notes in this.

He’s so good in everything I’ve seen him in. You’d know his classic is Kill Me, Heal Me.

I’ll definitely watch more of Jisung so I might pick one of these up, maybe KMHL for a quick weekend binge.

It’s trauma filled, so you may need to pace yourself.
