Title Little Women
It's a cliffhanger to make us watch the next episode. The director of this drama is the same that directed Vincenzo,…
I got the vibe that since Vincenzo was about Italian mafioso with Italian motifs they intentionally made that drama in the style of old opera sub genre - opera buffa. Too many similarities with absurd and comical situations escalating out of control in every episode only to calm down and begin again in the next.

I just love FL's facial expressions and ML's weird unfazed manner of speaking 🀣 Is it called "calm trolling" or "sly mentoring" tone πŸ€”?

In Vincenzo almost every episode ended with leads being threatened with deadly harm and/or jail and in the next episode it was resolved as easy as pie in the first few minutes. Stopped being suspensful fast after repeating it so many times.

Title Little Women
Can't wait to see in what crazy direction this drama gonna go this week, can't predict anything, but I'm here for the ride πŸ˜€. TvN are on fire this season, airing one unpredictable awesome drama after another. They may as well hold this streak until the end of the year if Umbrella will be of the same quality, cuz December is already set with AoS: Part 2.

Title Touch Your Heart Spoiler
Sounds like nitpicking. It's not a court drama, but a rom-com, so of course legal cases are not the focus here,…
I'm sure that guy's mental capacity was simply verified off screen, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to present himself in court without assistance. EAW did have a big focus on autistic people, but even there medical examination and presenting of medical examination reports were done prior court proceedings, like it should. Of course, that doesn't stop one side or the other from trying poking at it some more for their benefit, but it simply didn't happen in TYH. And again, no matter on what side of the spectrum an autistic person is, if physically they are an adult they'll be tried, though sentence may vary. Why he was given such a harsh one in TYH is up to debate, but again, different cases, different judges, jury or no jury...And of course it's a fictional drama, invoking strong reactions from the audience by showing injustice is a common trick.

All in all, I disagree with you, for a rom-com TYH's court and law firm's scenes were done well and gave sufficiently believable background for the main focus of the drama. Lawyers even went to different court houses, like they should, which is often forgotten in court dramas where we see same court building and room no matter where the case is registered. And cases were taken seriously, unlike some dumb circus and braggery like in Military Prosecutor Doberman, Vincenzo and the likes.

Also, not sure why you're mentioning crimes commited under influence here, but in most countries it's an aggravating, not an extenuating circumstance.

Be careful about labeling autistic people, there's a whole spectrum of them. The guy in the drama clearly was on the side of a spectrum that allowed him to present himself in court. And even those adults who are indeed lacking in mental acuity and have mental age of a child are still tried. If you don't like reading about it you can at least watch Extraordinary Attorney Woo drama - there were cases about neurodivergent people there and FL was on the spectrum as well.

How common is it actually with one dollar lawyers in Skorea?
They don't exist 🀣 Law education in SK and around the globe is so popular because everyone wants to become lawyers with their big salaries. That's why this drama is a reversal joke on that fact. The only cases lawyers don't take money for are public pro bono cases they're obliged to take by the state.
Dunno why ML asks so little for his job and how he manages to live without money (he collects those small bills in a jar) while maintaining his suave appearance, but I'm sure we'll find out. Probably got pissed off at some injustice while working as a prosecutor.

Though it's a tired old plot about lawyers/prosecutors again, it's very good so far. The leads are doing a great job and script is funny.
Even FL's grandpa is a familiar funny face from Suspicious Partner where he also played a law firm's chairman. He was also in this year's ABP as well.

This is a drama solely done for fanservice, which is not a bad thing, just something to keep in mind while watching.…
Sounds like nitpicking. It's not a court drama, but a rom-com, so of course legal cases are not the focus here, but leads relationship. And they've nailed it. However, everything related to law firm's and courtroom's inner workings is done in a competent way (there clearly was some consulting on the side) and few cases that were presented here were investigated seriously, especially about that murder/fraud. There's no dumbassery or circus in court scenes, like in many dramas that are actually presented as court dramas.

Pretty boring drama, it failed to captivate me with its slice of life tropes, but romance was ok. I especially didn't like that too much time was spent on the gangsters subplot.
Feel free to attack this comment for differeing opinion, I don't care.

Title Good Job
Main villain part was so cliche and cringe in the last episode, boohoohoo πŸ™„ The rest was okayish fluff.

Anyway, overall this drama isn't too bad, imho, but it sure is very silly, cheesy and made on the cheap. But it's not annoyingly dumb or boring like some others that came out this year, just a "watch and forget" entertainment.

Title Good Job
Anybody else find that Yoon Sun Woo's expressive eyes make his Kang Tae Joon character not believable as a villain? He looks like a hurt worried puppy, not a cliche bad guy he's supposed to be portraying. It's been highly noticable in the later episodes.
While Hong Woo Jin's Kim Jae Ha character always looks kinda surprised and pleading with those eyebrows of his. Only the father villain loooks the villain part, but I guess if you can guess who's the villain by his face it's not always interesting.

I kinda wasn't feeling it in the last episode, the sincerity I mean. Actors were too awkward with each other. And the episode felt kinda rushed, but it's only thirty minutes, whatcha gonna do.
Not a bad drama overall, I wasn't bored at least, but too much time was spent on third wheelers and going back and forth between the leads. Other subplots were minor and inconsequential.

Don't tell me what to do. Anybody can express any opinions about dramas here, it's not just for fan raving. Jeez, there has to be at least one like you in every comment section that just has the urge to shut people up for differing opinions... πŸ™„

Director Hong🀣Yes yes I love the drama, but Oh Director Hong, I haven't enjoyed a character like this in a…
You should watch him in Touch Your Heart, I think he's even more hilarious there - a seasoned entertainment agency CEO who knows how to handle capricious actors through mastery of reverse psychology.

Title The Law Cafe
After a rough start this drama is getting better.
However, I still don't like 4th wall breaking, ginormous time gap the leads were sitting on their feelings and unresolved problems (irl, I think any spark would have died out years ago) and how rowdy and reckless FL is (good for comedy, but not a good trait for a lawyer).
The villain is a sad joke, but at least he's better than very samey villain with dad issues in another ongoing drama called Good Job.
The highlight among actors is Kim Do Hoon - quite a transformation from a deeply disturbed character in Today's Webtoon into a cheerful lad here.
