Ep 5 and 6 indeed getting better and better. The legal case keeps on providing provocative, highly emotional topics.

Gippeum's firm idea of the purpose of the team is to provide legal aids to those can't afford it (one dollar lawyer), to counter the money first reputation of the large law firm, with winning just a bonus. And Da Wit cares and remembered every word she is saying and delivered it in a way. The acting of So JY also able to matched that of the much experienced Jung KH.

This is a drama, written to produce entertainment. With so many legal dramas already produced in the past (eg Beyond the Bar in Netflix this year), it is unavoidable that something controversial would be required to attract interests from viewers or risks repeating old shows. Spoilers below Unless one turning a blind eye, the personal glances between the 2 leads in the car, to and back from the village in ep 5, (obviously purposely given by the director), are very hard to miss. Even with the suspicious bribery video is still hard in the mind of Gi Ppeum, once D Wit touched on his personal history she simply can't stop looking at him with so much warmth. Adding her conversation with her father later she is either having hero worship or personal feeling on D Wit. It only took half an episode D Wit already understood from Ms Oh the reason Gi Ppeum giving him cold shoulder. There are multiple ways of resolving the understanding of the bribery video, which could be significant to the future relationship/understanding between the two, and future of the whole team.
no romance but maybe slight romance or just mentor mentee relationship.
Early in the piece to tell if any romance or not. But unlike Beyond the Bar, the fl is already a high calibre lawyer and ml just the leader of the team. So far in court cases the ml us the barrister with fl the solicitor, so a ream relationship.
nooooo romance just ruins a drama ,let it be purely legal please .
Fully agreed. Legal cases in legal dramas always last for an episode or so. And no guarantee every case would be interesting. A drama needs a backbone story lasted the whole drama, so relationship developments between leads normally a convenient tool. Same apply for medical dramas, Hospital Playlist the best example. If not interested in romance viewers can just skip any interaction between the leads. But it is important to understand what the PDwriter trying to tell us.
