Check out our exclusive interview with the cast - GOT7's Jinyoung, Kim Min Jung and Park Gyu Young where they talked about their characters and shared their favourite scenes of the show.
Jin-young: The writer was a former judge, so I talked to him a lot. Other than that, I thought that the answer would lie within the script, so I read the script diligently and made the character.
Kim Min Jung: Both of us grew, matured and became more considerate of each other. It certainly led to good teamwork.
Park Gyu-Young: The actor I worked with the most is Jinyoung. As I worked with actor Jinyoung for a long time and built up emotions, (my) feelings for protecting Gaon naturally deepened and became more sincere. Actor Jinyoung is really good at remaining focused, worries a lot and gives good energy, so I'm still thankful for his help. During the second half of the drama shooting, I was able to empathize just by looking at actor jinyoung’s eyes. There are many memorable scenes. I really appreciate it.
Q: Which scene of 'The Devil Judge' do you recommend the most so far?
Kim Min Jung: I really love this scene in episode 7 where Seo Jung-hak was killed to gain power. I could feel Sunah's heartbreaking past through her lines and I filmed it while feeling the instinctive animal act to survive.
Park Gyu-Young: I remember going on a field trip to the police station during the preparation period, checking the atmosphere, meeting detectives, and asking questions and interviewing them. Yoon Soo-hyun is an ace detective who graduated from a police university. I think I asked them a lot of questions, such as learning and training at a police university, the reason they dreamt of becoming a police officer and their mindset in the field etc. From practical questions to questions close to the heart. Although appearance and actions shown are very important, it seems that the way the mind deals with the event, the object, and the situation is also largely important. Thankfully, I think I learned a lot of points from the long interview. I didn't refer to the characters of other dramas or movies because I wanted to express myself as much as I could. I think I focused mostly on the character’s story and the script.
Q: Could you tell us the reason why ‘The Devil Judge’ is a must to watch?
Kim Min Jung: I think the rather sharp senses of "coexistence between good and evil" and "evil against evil" live in the world. (The drama) can share a pleasant and bitter message, like the present world we live in.
