“Is Assemblyman’s Second Son the Serial Killer? Fans Theorize J’s Identity in The Judge from Hell”

Episode 8 of The Judge from Hell, which aired on October 12, revealed the chilling return of killer J, the individual behind the tragic murders of Han Da-on’s parents. As viewers caught their first glimpses of a newly introduced character, speculation about their identity began to swirl. The teaser for episode 9 dropped hints that have sparked even more fan theories.

This drama, which debuted on September 21, features Park Shin-hye as Kang Bit-na, a demon from the underworld who assumes the role of a judge. She encounters Han Da-on, played by Kim Jae Young, a committed and compassionate detective who confronts a reality that feels even more daunting than hell itself.

Unraveling the Mystery of Killer J

As the plot unfolds, recent episodes hint that numerous secrets are poised to be unveiled. However, fans have already started to formulate their own theories.

The Elder Son of Assemblyman Jeong

The character of Assemblyman Jeong is depicted as deeply corrupt. Bit-na’s decision to end her engagement with his older son raises many questions, especially following her untimely death. While it’s evident that the elder son is far from noble, some fans ponder whether he could be killer J.

“I’m convinced he is the J serial killer and a true villain,”speculated a fan.

The Younger Son of Assemblyman Jeong

During Bit-na’s visit to the Jeong household, her interaction with the younger son was minimal, and he appeared to be intoxicated, clenching a bottle while denying drug use when confronted by his father. This has led some fans to conjecture that he might be the notorious Killer J.

“Could it really be that assemblyman’s second son is serial killer J? I have my suspicions based on the preview for episode 10,”remarked one viewer.

“His physique looks a lot like that of the serial killer, so I’m leaning toward him being J. I have a feeling one of the brothers could be Satan too,”contributing another fan.

Satan

According to A-rong in The Judge from Hell, Satan has absconded with the Kylum and come to Earth, evading capture by other demons. Some followers of the show theorize that killer J is, in fact, Satan. They support this idea with observations about the type of dagger J wields, which bears similarities to that of Bit-na, particularly the engravings.

“I believe A-rong/serial killer J is Satan. The killer of Kang Bit-na must belong to Assemblyman Jeong’s family,”stated a fan.

New Detective Jang Mun-jae

In the eighth episode, it was confirmed that Detective Kim So-yeong has met her demise. The preview for the upcoming episode introduced a new detective to the mix, leading some fans to speculate that he might actually be killer J. They point out that his appearance and demeanor could match those of the notorious killer.

“I think I have a new theory: the serial killer isn’t the deputy’s son but rather the new detective,”claimed one viewer.

“You can tell by his look and hairstyle that he has similar traits to the serial killer,”chimed in another fan.

Fans eagerly await the next episode of The Judge from Hell, which is set to premiere on October 19.
