I don't know if this has been said before but Gaon definitely has a choking kink. He doesn't stop till Yohan chokes the f**k out of him and I'm loving it.

Yeah, can somone write a fic based on this gif and OP's analysis?

This was the scene that made me watch this show, so...

...let's talk about it for a second.

There are three ways you could read this questions. It could be, "are you living with your mother?" or "are you rich enough to have a maid?" or "do you have a girlfriend?" Yohan has seen Gaon's file. He knows Gaon is an orphan who lives in a tiny apartment. There's no mother. There's no maid. When he asks this question, he's fishing for details about Gaon's romantic relationship.

He could have straightened that collar without dragging his hand across Gaon's collar bone like that.👀👀👀👀 This is a habit that Yohan adopts, pretty quickly. And I honestly don't blame him. This moment set the tone for their relationship. Gaon didn't react negatively, so Yohan (emotionally-stunted, touch-starved Yohan) decided that he could touch Gaon whenever he wanted, however he wanted.

In context, Gaon was worried that he'd be caught for planting those bugs so I understand his shakiness. But!!!! He just stands there and let's Yohan rub him like that. Maybe... MAYBE, you could say he was stunned and that in the future, he learned to slap Yohan's hand away when it got weird. But for godsake, this is a stranger at the office. You guys are all alone. At night. He's just shoved you against a shelf and he's touching up on you. Stranger Danger, Gaon. Absolutely no self preservation!

Did you guys notice that tiny thrust of Gaon's hips when Yohan shoved him into the shelf? Please tell me I'm not the only one. YOU GUYS NEED TO TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!

I saw this scene on Tiktok and that's how I went to look for the show. I didn't know what it was and my first thought was, "Woah, Jisung and Jinyoung are in a bl?"

Everything about this scene was just so homoerotic to me. I just want to say a big thank you to every branch in universe that veered off from the sacred timeline in order to put this scene before me on Tiktok.

The Devil Judge + The Five Homoerotic Love Languages (based on this tweet)

The something between us we don't talk about,

It's a normal thing for people in love to question what kind of relationships do they have with the people they have romantic feelings for. And so it's normal when they want something more, something bigger than just watching this person afar and talking like friends and nothing more.

And there are two solutions: confess to the person you like, or bottle your feelings and pretend like relationships between you are enough for you... but pretend doesn't mean be, right?

[ Warning ] : spoilers for episodes seven, eight, eleven, twelve, thirteen.

The discovery of Doh Young-Choon being switched was something very painful for Ga-On since he was convinced: the system is just and will punish the conman; but when something he had to believe into turned out to be a lie, he was stunned and returned home.

Then, after a few days, Yo-Han suggests going back home, and Ga-On doesn't mind. But what he doesn't like is the reason behind his return: Yo-Han excuses himself with Elijah and her being anxious, so Ga-On lowers his eyes and sighs; however, he still comes back with Yo-Han the same evening and even waves at Elijah with a sincere smile on his face.

In the kitchen, Yo-Han's shining like a star on the Christmas tree, while Ga-On’s mood doesn't change much after he figured out who was the Elijah who missed him; he doesn't say anything, as usual discussing with Yo-Han their plans and thoughts while drinking coffee.

Talking about as usual: the ending of episode eight when Ga-On took Yo-Han’s side officially, is another beautiful example of how much the show hides the true motives in emotions instead of saying them out aloud.

Ga-On takes Yo-Han’s side officially, and they’re standing on a bridge both looking at the night version of Seoul; this is when an important conversation takes its beginning: Yo-Han turns back since he was one step ahead, and Ga-On turns his torso to Yo-Han, showing him he’s all ears.

The first phrase is Yo-Han’s “do you regret it?” and Ga-On’s answer of lowering his eyes; and since Yo-Han got to know some Ga-On’s expressions and their meaning by spending countless some time with him, he nods and starts listing advantages of being on his side. Ga-On lifts his eyes at “I’ll promise you one thing,” but pretty soon lowers them again, after not hearing what only he knows he expected in his head.

So while Yo-Han lights up the whole Seoul with his contentment of Ga-On taking his side officially, Ga-On tries to quickly make another reason for him helping Yo-Han. And finds it: fighting with the wrong world; and when Yo-Han accepts it, proudly lifting his head with a satisfied look in his eyes, Ga-On turns back to him for the first time after a while.

And even though officially their agreement was based only on revenge and will to change the wrong world, the first clause of their partnership was them becoming a family; so no wonder they started to act like a married couple — because they were, even though it’s written with invisible ink.

What we else don't see is Ga-On’s reaction to Yo-Han inviting Sun-Ah to their his house in episode eleven. We just see him cooking a whole banquet dinner for a guest and him being ready to interrupt and stop every small hint of flirting between Yo-Han and Sun-Ah.

But when Sun-Ah comments on him blending into this family perfectly, Ga-On starts to literally shine: he widely and sincerely smiles, being all proud and pleased with the fact of him looking like he always was there; but the moment Sun-Ah says she's envious of Yo-Han for being not alone anymore, Ga-On raises his eyes at Yo-Han with a clear sadness in his gaze. His mood drops, and the one moment he smiles after this little talk is when Ms. Ji appears in the kitchen.

Maybe it's when Ga-On understood that being colleagues and taking down the higher-ups together is good and all, but it's not what he wants. Not when it comes to Yo-Han.

Because in the same episode, just a bit later we hear Ga-On's "once this is over, I'll definitely..." when he is with Soo-Hyun in a famous restaurant. He's in a good mood, smiles, and jokes a lot that even Soo-Hyun notices the changes that happened in her friend; and maybe it's the moment Ga-On started to think about his confession to Yo-Han since he already knows when he'll tell him how he feels.

Because Yo-Han’s plans are pretty clearly shown in episode ten, in the scene of Yo-Han building a house of cards right after they caught Doh Young-Choon: he doesn't know how many floors the building will have, but what he’s more interested in is bringing the whole thing down; Ga-On lowers his eyes, thinking about something only he knows.

And when Yo-Han acts as if he’s about to put the house down, Ga-On shudders; Yo-Han says that Ga-On thought he would destroy the whole thing, Ga-On just smiles, proving his assumptions.

Note: even though the original scene didn't look like this, the original script still has Yo-Han saying “(to me) it’d more fun to bring the building down.” So we can assume that even in the original script, Yo-Han still wanted to destroy the house of cards in one movement instead of taking avenge on his enemies slowly.

But Cha Kyung-Hee shoots herself at the end of episode eleven, and the plan starts to fall apart since it lost the main key; then, everything related to Ga-On's sanity falls apart as well. For the first time since episode eight, Ga-On drinks soju. Like he did before he officially took Yo-Han's side and threw all the years of Professor's lectionaries; now he sits all alone, drinking a few bottles and being aggressive towards annoying fans of the show.

Ga-On calmed himself down: he'll wait until Yo-Han finishes his avenge. He'll talk about his feelings after this all will be over; but now, the situation is blurred and unclear, so he attempts to talk about them now, provoking and asking in what kind of monster he turns into. But Yo-Han talks only about their destroyed plans, so Ga-On’s gaze fades, even though a minute ago it was full of hope.

So the second Yo-Han starts to say that Ga-On had to cut Soo-Hyun out of his life to save the world, the decision is already made. But when Soo-Hyun starts to say that she doesn't care about what is right and what is wrong; when she talks about how she only needs him, he hears the words he wanted to hear from Yo-Han a few days ago.

The outcome we see in Soo-Hyun's case is Ga-On kissing her and her being shocked by his actions and not responding to it in any way; the outcome in Yo-Han's case is Ga-On taking away Yo-Han's hand from his shoulder and claiming that Soo-Hyun is his world, leaving pretty soon afterward.

— As in addition : the confession scene in episode thirteen... the whole speech was made for Yo-Han from the very beginning. He might have changed some parts of it to match their relationships with Soo-Hyun but the most important parts and words were all meant for Yo-Han.

First, the way how his expression when he says he wants to like her forever and that he was scared he would ruin everything is so similar to the one he had in episode ten when he was defending Yo-Han. The same smile, the same warmth in the eyes which quickly vanishes the moment he talks about their friendship in particular and him not wanting to be alone.

Second... as it was noted in @b612sunsets's gifset, the confession pretty well describes their relationships with Yo-Han, fitting in perfectly.

moodboard: the devil judges

the devil judge, 2021 | confucius | jen mazza, peripety | ella fitzgerald, as long as i live | jeannette walls, half broken horses | gustave doré, paradise lost

moodboard: yo-han as the judgement of solomon and ga-on as icarus

the devil judge, 2021 | nicolas poussin, le jugement de salomon | the judgement of solomon | merriam-webster, fiat justitia ruat caelum | justinian, institutes | e. o. wilson, consilience | herbert james draper, the lament for icarus

here are the reasons why i think 'the devil judge' is an alternative version of beauty and the beast (the disney version, not the original tale)

Fancy house in the middle of nowhere

Ga-on, our Belle, is trapped there

And starts looking around, even going into a forbidden room that reveals a bit about the Beast

Yo-han, the Beast, even calls himself a monster and litteraly everyone else also calls him a monster

Ga-on basically lives in the fancy house and there's even a scene where Yo-han changes the way he eats because of him (except it's kind of opposite to the Beast, since the Beast goes from eating like it's his last meal to being all proper, which is opposite to Yo-han)

Ga-on's the only one who can understand him and who stays by his side, just like Belle

An important event (the church thing) completely changes Yo-han and turns him into a monster previously, as well as impacts the other people who live in the mansion with him

Ga-on abandons Yo-han for the only other important person in his life, Soo-hyun

Said-important person desperately tries to get Ga-on away from Yo-han, just like Maurice

Yo-han gets stabbed and Ga-on thinks he died for a moment

Even the way they hold faces is similar

I'm sure there are other arguments but I just woke up so idk what I'm saying

Idk what the rose is here but oh well

Can someone make a gif set with the parallel of Vincenzo and Cha Young meeting in the last episode and Yo Han and Ga On meeting in the last episode, please?

what if this version of Kang Yohan meet Gaon

The Devil Judge + The Five Homoerotic Love Languages (based on this tweet)

Yohan: "You're the love of my life. I would do anything for you."

Gaon: "I want you to eat three meals a day and have a decent sleep schedule."

Yohan: "Absolutely not."

it's truly how gaon establishes a VERYYYY clear hierarchy here with this one single dialogue.

"Mr. Kang told me."

It contains the nuance that Jung Sunah was NOT invited to the mansion as a whim but only after consideration & mutual agreement of both Yohan and Gaon. Gaon wanted her to know that her being in that house was partly to his credit. That Yohan considered him important enough to tell and quite possibly ask his permission (bcs he needed to. No way in hell would Gaon COOK for her otherwise and that's so funny to me. Big bad wolf kang yohan on his knees for gaon to entertain this lil rendezvous of his lmaooo)

"Mr kang told me that he was inviting you over."

Aka he's only just inviting you. You're a guest here. Someone who's temporarily here and WILL have to leave.

Me on the other hand? I'm part of this family here. I'm here living with them. I'm joining them for dinner.

His clear attempt to sneakily tell her where she stands and to know her limits with Yohan. Oof. And that too, when she's trying to advance on Yohan and Yohan cannot do anything but entertain the idea so he can lure her in his trap and here comes Mr. Husband like nah, bitch BACK OFF.

The accompanying passive aggressive smile is just cherry on top. It's giving "Get your claws off my man or help me God, I won't be responsible for what happens next."

I love this drama to bits.
