I like the lead actor but not in this
I Barely got through episode 1- I like the actor but the plot & method of acting felt stale. Episode 2 was very very much for dog lovers and had ethics that were on the fence. Episode 3 had the lead being dragged off to an LGBTQ festival-dressing up like a rainbow sailor moon. So far I'm not only underwhelmed, but I'm also not connecting with the plot at all. The cases the team take are pointedly real issues of contention in South Korean society. By episode 8 it's obvious that this is a heavy topic landmine of a series. As a westerner, I feel a good bit of disconnect with the clients/issues. I also didn't find the case topics "entertaining" . A boy suing God for letting him be born, a "mail order" bride from another country, an idol who is suffering from oppressive & obsessive public scrutiny. Although there is lighthearted times sprinkled throughout the drama, thre is no disguising the passionate calling out of the imperfect law that feels like it's one big pitch & platform for reform-which for me, is not the entertainment escapism that I'm looking for. The heavy topics coupled with the male lead character's selfish grumpy childish demeanor is unappealing & falls flat comedically. The reason behind why the male lead is in the position that he is in, IS the only interesting thing about this drama so far (for me). I decided that instead of waiting for the rest of the episodes to be aired, I would just bail out at the end of episode 7.
