Adorable
The best thing about this show was the dynamic between the leads. Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Ah’s characters are so adorable, and I love how they bring out the best parts of each other.
It was a very low-stakes drama, which is nice once in a while. They built good momentum in the first few episodes, but petered off in the last half. I think it lacked the law aspect, and it would have been interesting if they balanced it better with the romance. The one murder case was gripping? And I wish full episodes were dedicated to cases as well; the few we got were resolved within the same episode and felt thrown in.
I also wish Oh Jin Shim decided to stay on as a lawyer or secretary instead of making a comeback in acting because you could tell how passionate she was while working at the office; but I’m glad she was happy with what she got.
The most cliched part of the plot was the temporary breakup/misunderstanding. It didn’t need to be there. They could have written couple conflict that didn’t involve the, “I had to let you go so you could be happy,” trope.
Lee Dong Wook (per usual) aced his role. His character felt very genuine, and I loved how he portrayed a misunderstood but very caring person. Yoo In Ah’s character also grew on me as we saw who she was beyond the actress, and they were perfect for each other.
Story wise, it was okay, and I probably wouldn’t watch again. But the actors and their chemistry had me hooked!
