Good legal love drama without romance

If you are expecting romance, it's not a typical legal romance. It's a Legal Love without romance. Let me explain. The show does very well in terms of showcasing the legal stories with nuances. It feels realistic with emotional weight. The acting, writing and character development is well done as well. By the end of the season, you will love every character. The show focuses on love rather than romance. The ML and FL and even support characters here are not typical or socially acceptable couples for romance. That is why the show rather focuses on how these characters go and explore their own journey and understanding of love, rather than them actually romancing with each other.
The show is very good and teaches many nuances of life including the meaning of real love. But if you want to see romance, you will be disappointed as the show lefts you hanging to wonder.
SPOILER: The show embraces and shows romance between a couple where female is older, but decides to keep it bland between the ML and FL of the story where the ML is older. Strange as both couple have 10-11 years gap!! Statistically speaking IRL, it is far more common to see 10+ year older male in couples than a couple with 10+ year older female. So it's just feels weird and out of touch with reality in this regard.
