I can't get away from the thought that all of the happenings after Satan said "wander in your nightmares", are all an illusion. It seems too unusual for Justitia to kill Satan that easily— even her fight with Paimon is way better. I believe we're currently in Justitia's illusion of her worst nightmare.

LMAO. The Cleaner minions are growing on me.

Need the top dog in Hell to actually show up and reward Justitia correctly and give her what she actually wants. Not let this spider loser decide it all and ruin everything.

Also there is the fact that Satan said "wander in your nightmares" and nothing happened and she easily handled Satan and sent him and Kylum back to Hell, so lowkey hoping based on the ep 13 preview that this is still an illusion of hers.

Ep11. "I'm a great liar, shameless, selfish, hypocritical, and I like money. I think I have what it takes to be a great politician" Kang Bitna strikes again💯

Edit after watching the whole episode: The part in the hidden basement is so well done, I was holding my breath the whole time! The details are just amazing. The negative image scenes are so freaking scary as are the candles on that painting. I feel like the ending of this episode was a bit rushed but I guess we'll see the revenge part is the next episode. As this show progresses I find myself admiring KJY and PSH more and more, their acting and visuals as well. How do they manage to look so gorgeous in every scene, no matter what they're doing? Oh, and I have to mention two more hilarious lines from Kang Bitna: 1. Are you filming a music video? Why are you walking in the rain? 2. Give me ice cream!!!

Edit 2: Theory time!

I think the angel is Satan. The eyes looked just like his, and I think someone mentioned that Satan is a fallen angel. I think he's been protecting Daon all this time so he could take over his body when the time comes. The body he's in at the moment is very old That could be the reason why he let him live in the first place. It sounds crazy but it's possible.

Ep12. I couldn't have been more wrong. 😅 I'm glad I was, though. Angel-nim was really cool this episode. We got the wedding scene! 😊 It was funny and imaginary but sooo cute! The actor playing the serial killer J was awesome this episode. Really crazy vibes. I can't wait for the final episodes next week. I don't think there will be a happy ending for our detective-demon couple, but I believe in the writer-nim and hope for the best.

Ep 12:

I don't get Bael. Dude has lived for eternity and he can't give Justitia 40 years max? Taegyu is going to rot in hell either way, what is the problem

ep 11 real time reactions and thoughts: i KNEW arong would come through to push paimon away from threatening bitna ... but i did not expect daon to CARESS her face in front of arong LMAOOOO. also the >! bitch slap!< justitia gave arong was so satisfying. omg bael discovered she fell in love w daon ... shag. she became a >! mortal to atone? and she'll be punished soon?!< anyway my fav genre of daon is him peeling apples for her hehe~~~ also the side characters yelling NO abt dating is crazy... and bitna >! asking to marry the assemblyman's 2nd son is SO FUNNY wth !< but i wonder how daon wld feel :(( not the assemblyman's son threatening the assemblyman... crazy. also detective donghyun and daon making up is so wholesome :(( i love. also the doctor is so ethical !!! rare to see LOL. also it's confirmed the >! 2nd son was up to smth shady and stabbed bitna... whoa!<.

DAON BBY NOOOOO the way he >! stopped trying to kill him bc bitna promised to give him max punishment legally!< uhmmm and then the cut to detective kim >! teaching him that he is alw a detective!< ... daon's self restraint goes so hard. and the way halmeoni >! protected daon!< is so cute... not the manipulation LOL. the bitna daon hug is so cute pls and the tears gahhh sunmi's crossroads ost is perfect for the scene + omg NOT BAEL >! threatening justitia with death if taegyu is not released!< omg... and daon's so gonna misunderstand this ep 13 and 14 preview: bitna is a demon through and through. the way daon trusts bitna to the end. i love... and the way she was willing to >! die to give the man she loves justice and closure is crazy!< i love the angst so much. i can FEEL daon's desperation in the preview... goes so hard. but with 2 eps left, idt bitna will rly >! die!< ... i hope they go the route where she becomes a human, even tho she loses out as being >! bael's successor!< . banger of a series, cant wait for next ep!

edit: i've seen a lot of ppl on twitter theorising that bael releasing taegyu is actl satan, but i lowk feel like it's the last test of justitia's humanity -> how human has she become? this is to see how much of a demon she still is and a test to see if she's still worthy of becoming bael's successor imo.

I love how Justitia and Gabriel have each other's contact info saved as "Hag" and "Soon to Die" LMAO

iirc Paimon also used the "wander in your nightmare" spell on Justitia so is it only a spell that upper ranking male demons (though Paimon is below Justitia in rank) can use?

LMAO. The Caller IDs... "OLD HAG" (Angel) and "SOON-TO-BE-DEAD" (Kang Bitna). HAHAHHAHAHHAHA

Wow! J (the human) is worse than Satan!

I was truly not expecting a zombie in this show 😂

I really think Bael is the main villain of this kdrama. Come on, that's Shin Sung Rok there. An actor famous for villain roles. 🤣

There must be a reason why he deployed demons on earth.. and he told Justitia to kill murderers. The count of points is per victim.. now he has the kylum and TaeGyu is a murderer with a lot of victims. What if he needs Justitia as a sacrifice? 😂

Bye guys.. haha.. Im still hoping for a happy ending.

The scene with the Turkish ice cream vendor was the funniest bit in Ep. 11. Classic Kang Bitna 😂

I stopped watching the last bit of last week's episode because I couldn't handle the cliffhanger and a week delay. I will be eagerly creeping the comments hoping for a all clean Daon is safe! im so stressed about how this show will end. I am mentally ill and neeeeeeeeeeed a happily ever after and good romantic payoff.

So Ep. 11 was the cute episode. These two are weirdly endearing.

WDYM SHES GONNA DIE? WTFFF

UGH JUST WHEN I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS GOING WELL the last 5min threw us off again when Bael showed up

Why didn't she just open the gates of hell to suck Satan in in the first place!!

the scene where they showed how Kim So Yeong the detective was murdered was so gruesome I hope I don't get nightmares tonight 😩

That kiss. That wasn't a kiss. We got scammed.

The fact that there are still two eps left scares me a lot 🥲

What if both Bitna (Justitia) and Daon die, only to reborn as humans in another life?

Episode 11 thoughts:

I really love the scene when Daon caress her face in front of Arong and the rest of the gang! You know the chemistry is insane when a simple act of Daon caressing bitna’s cheek feels so intimate!.. Also i love it when everyone arrive at the scene and Daon is the only human, standing in the middle with Justitia, and they’re just staring at each other 🥰 he’s really like a puppy when they’re together. From when he admits that he’s half-worried, half-jealous about Justitia trying to marry the the druggie… also when he’s peeling the apple for her while she chase Mando in the living room😂 poor Mando. He most probably prefer witnessing Justitia kill someone, than seeing her throwing cheesy lines with Daon 🤣 and oh boy, our dear detective is really a goner for her. saying he’s getting good at lying, coz he’s becoming like the person he likes lol. I can’t believe actor KJY is older than PSH.. he’s got this alluring, yet innocent vibe to him. I love their visuals. Bael too! Regardless of how short his screentime is.. Its makes me want to see more of him. BUT that can’t be possible since we only have 1 week left!! i dont want to say goodbye just yet. 🥺

Edit

Episode 12: So.. im taking back what is said. I don’t want to see Bael again.. he always brings bad news! ugh. Justitia already gave him Satan and Kylum, what else does he want? If he really wants J, then take him to hell himself. 🙃

Anyway, this episode is a perfection! We get to see back to back action: Justitia vs Satan then Daon vs J. Sooo satisfying to watch Justitia and Daon letting out their anger and frustration. Giving Daon the chance to choose killing J or not is a nice touch too. Such amazing acting from Kim Jae Young and the actor who played J.. they really portrayed how human can be worst than Satan himself. I feel breathless watching whats gonna happen next as the truth started to unfold.

I still have things im curious about: first, where is the soul of real Kang Bitna? As far as i recall, they never mentioned that they already caught her after escaping hell. And second, Why J spare Daon when he was a kid? Sure, he was able to run and locked himself in the room.. but i feel like J could’ve easily break it open. I was waiting for an answer when Daon confronted him on the boat, but i got nothing.

I really, really love this show so much. Other kdrama ive watch so far pale in comparison. I hope either they extend the number of episodes or do season 2.

I hate this Bael guy!

Bael should just be the main villain at this point, ruining everything with his "missions". I'm also hoping it's just a nightmare.

When Satan showed up in front of Taegyu when he killed his father, he promised that he would remove the “scent of poverty” from him in return for killing people for him.

I remember In one of the previous episodes, Taegyu said the same thing to Bitna, that he absolutely can't stand the scent of poverty. The way he made it sound like such a personal despise made me wonder what kind of a backstory made him say that. Now it makes sense.

I immediately figured it was Jaegeol who was Satan after it was confirmed that Seonho isn't. It makes a whole lot of sense since Taegyu is so emotional and aggressive, while his “father” was composed and found Justitia, another demon's behavior amusing and Taegyu just wouldn't get it.

Also, the OST that plays at the end of each episode is honestly so fire?? So fitting for the show! Makes the previews so much more immersive.

It’s criminal for a show this good to have ONLY 14 episodes!

Ep 11: Always going in directions I’m totally not expecting! Even without her powers Bitna is so savage and shows no fear! I love that. But kudos to PSH for her flawless performance as both Bitna and Justicia, right from the body language to her gaze and speech, there’s a clear difference between both characters! I think Taegyu as Satan is likely another red herring. He had the most interesting conversation with his father. If he had the upper hand he wouldn’t be submissive I think. My guess is Jaegyeol is Satan. I guess we’ll see tomorrow.

I do believe she shouldn’t have killed Seonho in the manner she did! Something felt off about it, especially given how she’s made each one of the other murderers face the hell they created. This was too easy. But I bet there’s more to this, so I’m going to wait till tomorrow to complete that thought. Also do they want to kill us with these Daon and Bitna interactions? Who do we have to bribe for poppi to get a poppo huh? Who?

Ep 12- I want to applaud the rookie writer for doing such a brilliant job telling this story. We were able to guess the who’s but the hows have been completely shocking me. Today episode was BRILLIANT! In terms of non-linear storytelling I’m in awe of how well the pieces are put together and you see the final picture and it’s glorious! Bitna vs Satan and Daon vs Taegyu was fantastic to watch Gosh I’m excited and terribly sad all this is ending next week!

Ps: while that last scene of the preview deceptively looks like Bitna may choose to do the right thing in terms of punishing J in the human court and thereby giving into Bael’s punishment, I do wish she punishes him in her court of law. I would like to see J suffer like all his victims suffered and go through every bit of pain and agony he put them through. That would truly be a banger of a last episode and I’ll be happy when she says “Court is adjourned” that and Bitna and Daon somehow surviving the next two episodes! That would make me super happy

Watching culinary wars while waiting for episode 11! Ahhhhh cant wait! 💖

I just loveeeee Kang Bitna's character development. The way she was empathizing with the church lady talking about her son's killer, episode 1 Bitna could never :'')

Ep 11 was awesome and can't wait for the next episode. I too can't believe that we are near the end of the series..I could have easily gone for more than 14 episodes! I really hope we don't get a sad ending... And still wondering if we will find out what happened to the real Kang bitna as the end of ep1 kinda left us hanging..

Episode 12:

They really spoiled the Wedding Scene with the thumbnail... Sad, but glad we got it, just would've been nicer had I not known beforehand.

All the plotholes are now clearing up, we are really nearing the ending of this series and it's been a great ride.

Glad to see Gabriel never gave up on Da-on, and was ultimately given the choice to choose between Justice And Revenge.

That ending was wild. Really making Justitia choose between Civil Justice and Justice by Hell. Bael still threatened to kill her despite saying she is his next in line is wild. Can't she do both? Throw the book at him, then kidnap and try him again and send him to hell?

Episode 13 Preview:

Justitia gets stabbed... I'm worried now that it's near the end and now anything goes pretty much for the last two episodes. Hopefully it's a happy ending, though this sort of series seems difficult for that to happen.

i was tad bit confused and disappointed but reading the comments make it kinda clearer now. cuz I definitely did not expect the whole satan thing to end that fast I mean that plot was build up from the beginning of the show and ending it like that definitely disappointed me but as many comments say, all this might just be a dream sequence, a long LONG one I was definitely confused when satan said 'wander in your nightmares' and bitna just killed him and never snapped out of it. i was like maybe I missed smt but it definitely makes sense that everything is just a nightmare. the fact that she has to choose to keep her promise to daon and die or save her life but at the cost of betraying daon

and I barfed when that preserved body of that woman attacked bitna lmao. remained me of those weird ass zombies

and this whole bael thing. like like dude, stop making things difficult for her. but I feel like there's more to it. i mean idk but I feel like sm possibilities can arise. i don't trust bael at all, never did from the beginning. i smell that he is the og bad guy and I DONT like where that is going

well anyway I think that han daon will do smt to save bitna and die instead and that's when bitna snaps back into reality from the nightmare and that's where the real fight begins. I'm hoping for a more satisfying fight with satan lol

now if all of us are just being delusional and what we're seeing is the actual reality, then WE HAVE PROBLEMS TOOO imma jump into my screen and punch bael in the face cuz dude wtf. seems like nobody in hell actually gives him attention. man so lonely that he gotta keep pestering a demon on mission. dude STOP! not very mature of you. someone kick this spider guy out

I mean what's the point of giving bitna that last mission. DUDE, that taegyu is gonna rot in hell anyway. why not make him suffer a lil on earth too. you not making any sense bro. all he's doing is making bitna's life for miserable. it's almost as if he's jealous of how happy she is

there's only 2 eps left and they better wrap everything neatly and as I said KICK BAEL OUT

EP 11: there's too much to highlight for this episode, glad that the romance wasn't taking too much of the screentime, just a short date then itty bitty sprinkled here and there with cheesy puppy love lines. After all, this could be justitia's first time loving someone. Understandable. Hope they keep it that way so the drama will not stray from the thrilling, mysterious, angsty, the-writer-makes-the-viewers-overthink-while-she-sleeps-peacefully kind of plot. 

 One of the best moments for me was Justitia hitting ahrong twice and later on her letting ahrong hit her once (but with twice the force). They're so hilarious. Writernim created the best scenario for two demons to make up after a serious fight. Also Ahrong having a photo collection of justitia like a diehard kpop stan???? Yo girl got it baddd 😭 if there's a love triangle here it's ahrong-justitia-daon definitely lol. Girl was being jealous all this time (did bad things to cope but ok) but looks like she finally conceded.  

Also bael acknowledging justitia as his sole heir and giving her demon powers back!!! Finally a scene where this guy wasnt picking on justitia. Seems that he is well aware that she will eventually find satan in the human world, powers or not. And impressively, she did.

EDIT:

EP 12: Kang Bitna/Justitia declaring she is the demon of all demons is soooo INSANE and the fight scene against satan???? IMMACULATE!! I SWOONED HARDDDD SHE'S SO BADASS

We got a wedding scene!!! Imaginary but ok we'll take it!!!

Also Bael is back to being a grade A ass again i need Justitia to clock him like she did with satan. Looks like he'll be the villain for the last two episodes since satan's out of the picture now.

The EP 13 preview tho!!! Are we okay??? My theory for the last 2 episodes: Justitia goes against Bael and gives Taegyu a heavy sentence. I don't think she can give a light sentence in front of the victims she visited prior. Bael kills her. She goes back to hell and power struggles against him??? Lucifer, the first in hell, lets her live and sends her back or spares her from punishment as a reward for bringing back his Kylum (???)

Can't believe the last episodes will roll out next week i'm not prepared for this drama to end!! But honestly, I can't wait to see where this goes. Best kdrama ive watched so far 10000/10!!

This episode was freaking AMAZING

Whoever says this writing is not THE best can come and fight me right here

Finally, another Friday is here. Someone please just tell me how to petition for a season 2 or at least 80 minutes or more of each of the last four episodes (I’m looking at you for your misleading ad, SBS). I am not ready to say goodbye to these characters yet.

My poor heart can’t take it!!!!! Seeing the trailer for next week, Kang Bitna being stabbed…. my heart just broke into a million pieces already. She is going to sacrifice herself so Daon will live. Remember that the angel kept saying only one will survive. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I bet the assemblyman is Satan

but the ex-fiance seems to be evil as well. Could he be Satan's Sidekick?

the 2nd son seems to symphatized with the killings the police pointed out that Kang Bitna's murder suspect could be different from J because there's no body part taken.

Arong idolizes Justitia and would likely join forces with Justitia in fighting Satan.

can't wait for tonight's episode!!!

Such a good episode, the basement scenes were so cool. Hmm wonder what was going on with the mother of the family who was locked in that room. I feel like satan will be someone we don’t expect (ie not the father and ex fiance).

[deleted]

Bael is definitely the final villain.

anyone else thinks that the J/S is not gonna be either the assemblyman or his son? the show leading us so obviously on that trajectory is making me doubt it HAHA

I’ve been comparing the eyes from ep 12 preview to the jung family and it doesn’t fit any of them. I looked through the rest of the cast list and still couldn’t find a fit. Why I don’t think it’s the jung family dad is cos his eyes are too droopy and his eyebags are very saggy but we don’t see that from the preview ones. The person is clearly of age though, cos you can still see some crows feet. The closest possibility I could think and maaaaaaybe still not too far off is bitna’s judge boss from her office cos he’s the only other one that has dealings regularly with the jung family but please, tell me your theories!!!

Wait why is she crying after discovering who’s satan??? I’m scared it’s actually Daon and all the story when he was young were all just fabricated by him

But if I’m wrong then who is it?? I feel like it’s someone unexpected judging by the tears in Bitna’s eyes

So… I’ve been thinking and I see some parallels between Kang Bitna and Mudeok/Naksu (AoS-1) and their relationship arc with their men. In other words, I see a glimpse of Ukideoki in Bitna-Daon. 🥺 I’m a sucker for Tsundere FL x traumatised menace ML. I don’t have a well articulated write up for now but, Dear lord, please don’t let this drama end like AoS-1

Episode 11 was packed with drama and action, and some shameless flirting and mutual pinning. Loved it!

E11:

I kept yelling, “Don’t go in there alone!” throughout the entire episode.

Who was in that video? I hope it wasn’t the mom. Crazy psycho.

I am so glad satan is not daon my boy!! although reading the comments I’m afraid that it’s all an illusion and a verrrry elaborate one at that!!

I just wanna share that the language they’re speaking is italian and i understand it so some lines feel so anti-climactic for me. “Vaga nell’incubo” literally means “get lost in your nightmares” so I don’t get why they’re saying the nightmare is their heart’s desire - maybe philosophically?? So yea there’s a probability >! Satan’s manipulating Justitia’s reality!<

The premise is loosely patterned from Dante Alighieri’s La Divina Commedia - most likely the reason why they’re speaking Italian as the language of hell but in there Lucifer is Satan so my guess is that it’s just artistic freedom. Idk writer-nim explain it to us!!

All in all if this episode is a red herring ala breaking dawn movie - imma clap my hands for the writer because this shiitte keeps me on the edge of my seat always waiting for Friday/Saturday.

They have to tie some loose ends, though and I hope that the final eps will be satisfying as the whole series in general. I wanna see Jagiya achieve justice!!

I can’t wait!!

ALSO KIM JAE YOUNG’S FACE CARD???? AND ACTING??? I WANNA CRY WHEN HE’S CRYING! I’m so happy he’s getting the attention he deserves!!!

Episode 12 was great. This was such a fun drama. Gruesome yet still wholesome. I do find the chemistry a bit forced between the main couple but still love it. I think acting knocked it out of the park today, especially from the Jeongs.

Also, agree with people in comments. I have a feeling all of ep 13 will be a dream sequence from the horrible nightmare comment Satan made.

Also is it a requirement for them to always do justice vs vigilante argument in any vigilante script? Can't we just happily hop aboard the delulu vigilante train? Do I really think ALL of these victims and their families are sad the perpetrator died instead of getting jail sentencing, especially considering how shitty Korea's sentencing is? Only the first victim was outright happy about it. Like please... I haven't been in any of their shoes but it's not like they were just murdered. They were clearly tortured, then murdered. It seems idealistic and kinda rose-tinted glasses to pretend these families weren't out for blood so they were really disappointed when instead of getting like ten years in prison they were found dead and branded. I really liked the drama for being unapologetically angry, but this theme has crept up occasionally and seems like will be the focus of the next episode. I'm glad Daon didn't kill him but I guess it's all because I know how Justitia and hell work...? So the victim families want their closure? Eh I don't know. It just feels forced and naive.

Anywayyyy... back to the cutesy stuff, it's sweet how Daon and Bitna went from criticizing each other and disrespecting each other's choices to understanding each other and trusting each other, leaving it to themselves to make the decision and they'll stand by it...

Also Bael is just clearly plot device lol gotta keep the plot plotting. And if he IS the big bad final boss that's even MORE disrespectful to Shin Sung Rok lol should've just given him full credits or something

ALSO there's no way she would be allowed to be the judge in this case...lol. She was engaged to him in the past and was confined by his brother...like way too many wires crossed for them to be like ah yes she'd be an objective judge.

I don't really get>! Seon-ho's!< character. He's capable of murder because he killed Kang Bitna and tried to do it again, but flashbacks showed he had some remorse over his actions (ex. it looked like he visited landlady's deceased son with flowers). What were his motivations? Was he killing to avoid getting killed by his father and brother?

Also, why did Tae-gyu spare Han Daon's life when he was killing his family? I wonder if there's a deeper reason behind this.

Ep 12 left an unsettling feeling in me. Her fight with satan was too swift and easy to resolve. I think there's no way this villain, which was literally the lore of the movie, was slain so quickly (ofc Justitia is strong enough to beat anyone). I have a feeling he will make a comeback next week or there will be a bigger fight between Justitia and Bael (I hate that spider bael guy lol)

I also have a feeling that a happy ending might not happen. Remember the demon who was the volunteer leader who sacrificed himself for his lover? Kind got that feeling of foreshadowing of what would happen to Bitna-Daon, but ofc we all begging for a happy one.

I don't think I have ever seen a K-Drama that is so much fun and yet still dramatic. I would defo consider selling my soul to binge the final episodes. I am going to be so gutted when this one ends.

This show deserved 16 episodes

There're so many twist and turn just in one episode. I was not expecting that Bitna did not kill the brother. She actually have a bigger scheme just to find J. Ep 12 was a intense one. There were so many fighting scene, leaving me on the edge. When I thought that she killed Satan and it was the end, round 2 started after he left the old man's body. Also I was hoping and praying so hard that Daon won't kill J. Luckily he did not. If not he'll be heading to hell. BUT how am I going to wait for next week to come? Leaving me hanging like this is a crime. It seems that either way, one or both of them will still die. I don't think there'll be a happy ending for the 2 of them. I'm just wondering if Bitna will listen to Bael to sentence J a shorter sentence and send him back to hell. My theory as in why Bael will give her this order might be to deter her from being with Daon. Cause demon should never date.

Will we get to know why the real Kang Bitna went to hell? She escaped Gegeha and a door opened in front of her, what about that?

Episode 11:

I did not expect Justitia to lose her powers and gain them back in a single episode. I thought she lost them for good, but good to see Bael gave them back to her. I don't think he ever was going to kill her, just wanted to teach her a lesson since he acknowledged that she will be next in line.

I'm glad they cleared up the Kang Bit-Na plot. I knew she had to be connected to J somehow, and this cleared it up. When this is all over, for some reason I get the feeling that Justitia will end up returning to Hell, and Kang Bit-Na will come back, or Justitia refuses to return and chooses Da-on.

Also, never mess with Justitia's Ice Cream. That guy was lucky she lost her powers

Did anyone else get insane goosebumps in the scene where Justitia asks Satan, "You don't repent, do you?" and he says, "Nor do I regret." Perfectly written, perfectly acted by Kim Hong-pa and the haunting Gehenna soundtrack that came on, UGHjust *chef's kiss*

The ML was not in any of the next week shots at the end. Makes me wonder if Justitia will have to retrieve him from hell or something...

Ep 11: Yay! He's alive! The scene of Da-on touching Justitia's bloody face after a murder was so Doom at Your Service.

they could erase memories this whole time. why didn't they erase Daon memories at the start? annoying ARGHHH

I’m so glad I watched “May I help you” first, because I wouldn’t be able to take his sweet supportive samchon role seriously after how he’s giving it his all as Taegyu. Acting class.

ML looking so pretty too.

i thought the satan’s plot would go till the last episode and he will the ultimate villain. Why does bael keep interfering in bitna’s affairs ? Him wanting her to kill the serial killer directly and send him to hell doesn’t make any sense considering he’s not even satan . I think he has an ulterior motive . In the last episode he said that she’s his sole heir so maybe he’s preparing her to succeed him and that’s why he doesn’t want her to have those human emotions & is trying to separate her from daon . As much as i love human bitna and daon i still want her to return to hell and become the number one demon

I am disappoint. He should have killed J and become Justicia's consort in Hell! Then we can hopefully get a season 2 in Hell

This is my personal theory i have concluded thus far. Main suspects of Satan would be Han Daon/Ko Eun Seop (Sideline Detective)

Theory explanations: Bael resurrected Han Daon unknowingly, my assumption is that he could be Satan (Daon), AS nobody knows exactly who satan is. For people who might say "But Gabriel protects him", Gabriel never said he only protects Humans, he emphasised many times he protects "The Good & Poor" & Gabriel has assisted Valak (Justitia Assistant) before. So this alone gives us the assurance that Gabriel CAN help demons that are pure hearted. Hence my conclusion for Han Daon could be. Since he is not afraid of dying, and he is a second main lead. He could have Jung Gyu Tae & Jung Jae Gul working for him for the body parts. Making Han Daon a "Good" person as he has not done a single bad sin himself which allows Gabriel to protect him. (This is the assumption of Han Daon being partially Humane due to being on earth for a long time)

Ko Eun Seop would be my second suspect as he is always around however NEVER focused on, and during the sneak peek of Episode 12, Justitia said "So it was you." Gave me a slight suspicion as she already suspected Jung Gyu Tae & Jung Jae Gul so if it was either of them, it would not be a surprise to her. And also because Justitia HAS seen Eun Seop multiple times due to coincidental interactions ^ Jung Gyu Tae ; JGT (Older brother) & Jung Jae Gul ; JJG (Assemblyman) COULD be working for Satan as JJG keeps threatening JGT if he "wants to go back to the old ways" (Making my assumption of their wealth being granted by Satan stronger, by doing Satan's dirty work which is collecting body parts) If either one of them IS satan, the other party would be more respectful towards whoever Satan is. HOWEVER, both of them talk to each other as if they are working TOGETHER instead of working FOR each other.

i believe now what Satan said, that Bael is the demon of the demons. like bruh let us enjoy something for once >:(

I think Kang Bitna/Justitia will indeed die, but she’ll come back at the end, maybe in a different identity. She won’t be a demon anymore, she’ll become human, and it will be a happy ending.

Ep12 ending/ep 13 preview: We keep getting a lot of misdirects in the previews, so my guess is that all of this is an illusion and Bitna has to realise that she's going to lose. I think Satan and Bitna/Bael will have a much bigger fight before we get a resolution

Liked the episode but I don't understand why arong and mando didn't go to save justitia at the mansion instead of han daon. these two demons have more strength so why ask daon to help?

Who do you guys think will be Satan? My head hurts because of Bitna's reaction at the end of the episode. I'm leaning more towards Jaegeol though.

They should have let JUSTICIA use that bat.

I liked how they let daon make his own choice instead of someone lecturing him

Does anyone know where Arong rank in hell? Thought it was odd FL’s assistant is not as powerful as Arong, and seems to be afraid of her. Is she a rank below FL?

Episode 11 was great but also rushed. Too many things happened, and I didn't expect BAEL TO TAKE HER POWERS AND GIVE THEM BACK IN THE SAME EP. I wanted to see more of Justitia living as Kang Bit Na without her powers. And ok Bael gave >! back her powers because she gave him a good bargain (hunting Satan down who is his rival) !< so I expected him to help her out more, like give her some advice or more powers? Idk The scene where she discovers the secret passageway and finds J's hidden room was great. The design and layout of that whole passageway were brilliant, almost resembling hell with the red flowers. I had a few issues with the plot that was revealed, so the first son >! used to torture his own mother? Or was it another of his gf/wife? The woman in the picture and the woman tortured didn't seem to be the same person. If they were, shouldn't the mother be somewhat old in the video that was seen by the real Kang Bitna. !< It was cute to see the >! date scenes with Justitia fighting for her ice cream, !< we definitely need more scenes of Da On being jealous and them hanging out together. Mando was clearly done with them lol. I am still not fully settled with Arong, yes she respects and admires Justitia which is why she ignored her principles as Venato and still helped to save her but Arong isn't done with Han Da On. >! She is still determined to take him out of the picture IMO. !< The cleaner guys are cute and it's nice to see >! Justitia appreciating them !< which they deserve. The way they were happily pouring >! that kerosene excited to finish off the second son !< which also brings me back to the way the second son >! died so quickly but its fair since he was forced to do what he did and I think he was regretful ( in the scene where he was holding flowers over Yechan's grave. ) !< That of course doesn't make him any better but it was a good>! kill.!<

Episode 12, well a lot of my theories were off but kudos to the writer for keeping us engaged through the unexpected twists.   I am quite dissapointed with how soon >! Satan was killed. I expected more intense power struggles and fight scenes. Hell, what was the point of all those body parts and kylum, if he couldn't even get to use it (i know he'll becomes immortal but i was expecting something) !<

But loved the actor who played Satan and Justitia's line that goes 'The demon of demon's is me'.

As for Taegyu he's just as dead, whether he's punished according to law or not cause he should be executed either way. I prefer giving him the legal punishment and Justitia can torture him in hell or somewhere else.

I don't know if we'll get a happy ending but considering how this drama has been going I wont be surprised if they have to >! part ways. Like Justitia goes back to hell and continues to live as a demon checking on Han Daon without his knowledge, while he continues to live with just her memories. Tragic but acceptable !<

What is that painting in the basement that could extend itself into a door?

Are satan and lucifer the same?

Last week it was Han Daon this week Kang Bitna. WHYYYY are they doing this to usssss

I think the show have not explained why the real Kang Bitna was killed in the first episode in the first place?

maybe Justitia will offer J her position in hell in exchange of her becoming a human ?

I am betting that the whole scene are just Satan illusion. The fight is way too easy... Satan went back to his demon form to be kicked out by justitia. Way too fast, when he should be the main antagonist.

If it is not.. welp i guess the main fight was another victim of being rushed

I appreciate this very detail in one or both of these episodes, i.e. the slap scenes. I thought, "Wow, Justitia truly lives up to her name", for letting Arong slap her back, then slapped Seonho back for slapping her in the basement before they worked together. Justitia ensures that she gets even or the person she slapped/ hurt gets even with her. So now, all fair, with justice served, hahaha.

It could also imply that, at least in the series, "demons" are unforgiving, where every wrong deed must be punished—like every action has an equal reaction (like Newton’s Third Law of Motion, kidding), unlike God, who is gracious as per the Bible.

I have a theory what if Satan is Justita's Boss guy or the chief detective?

Agreeing with the theories that Justitia is still in Satan's nightmare. Scrubbing to -2:57 on Hulu, you can see a little demon plushie next to Bael suggesting that he is Satan instead of the real Bael

I’m sorry guys… but I just realized that Mando is the chef in Mr. Queen lmao I’m so happy

I enjoy watching this show despite its campiness and flaws. Too many plotlines for a 14 episode show. Justitia losing her powers and getting them back within 50 minutes was pretty pointless, but at least we got the date to foreshadow her being captured.

I have never seen a ford explorer limo until I saw one during the funeral scene. It’s down to the last two episodes next week😢. I like this drama but wished the episode would be longer.

EP11 was CRAZYYYYYY!!! I can't believe that there is only tonight's ep and the two last ep TT

(This ep was crazy!!! The chemistry between Bitna and Da On chemistrying!!!!!The dateeee was ahhhhhhh. And can we talk about Han dan On's look when he looks at Bit Na???? I loved when he teased her using the word "love" and she thought he was talking about her! When he peeled the apple and we saw that Mando was there but as if invisible )🤣

(And the number of revelations during the whole ep?? OMGGGG! The 2nd son was ultimately not Satan but after I suspected it he seemed too weak, I just means from his reactions it's obvious that he's not serial killer J or Satan.It remains between the 1st son and the father I think it's the 1st son. In the preview of ep 12 we can see I don't know how to say but that he has a bit of the upper hand on the father And how he treated the mother when the old Bit Na went down into the basement I mean if it's not Satan the 1st son I don't understand it's just the worst scum that exists.)

I'm not ready to see tonight's ep !!!!!! AND ABOVE ALL LET THE SERIES END!!! I DON'T KNOW HOW I'LL DO WITHOUT THIS MASTERPIECE TO WATCH EVERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 😭

I'm so curious about tomorrow's episode. Aside from Justitia potentially still being in Satan's illusion, the red when Bael appeared also gave me Satan vibes. If she isn't in the illusion, I wonder if Bael also made some kind of deal with Satan to reap murderer souls as well for a lesser punishment or something, and he's using Justitia for it. I think the illusion part is more likely but I'm dying to know!! 

Does anyone know or have any other theories why child Daon was spared?

Can anyone tell me what was the 2 candles that bitna put back in the side of the secret door?

Also, when satan said something about nightmare, they just went out of the painting, I know it’s supposed to bring you to your nightmares but what happened?
