Overall 4.0
Story 2.0
Acting/Cast 5.0
Music 1.0
Rewatch Value 1.0

Over Rated and Unsatisfying ending.

DISLIKES:
PRODUCTION: Shaky camera syndrome
MUSIC: Theme song excessively played every episode; beginning, during certain moments, ending too.
WRITING:
Extremely slow burn for adult romance, hardly any chemistry moments between FL & ML (Xu Kai)
- writer got lazy and didn’t write a proper ending, thrown together conclusion, making it feel ver incomplete and not satisfying at all.
No character development for anyone, but especially FL & ML, 2FL & 2ML
Too late tried to show court room action and then it’s mashed together with another case happening at same time. Neither showcased the lawyer skills of the characters.
Lots of legal & business talk, but no action.
Turning Wu Fei from a decent rational person, into a crazy and childish irrational person didn’t make sense
DIRECTING/EDITING:
Over acting by Wang Zi Xuan as Wu Fei; the childish tantrums got old fast (writer did disservice to actress)
Reaction times
Pacing issues, too may filler moments towards end
Chemistry can be created without a lot of physical contact, but they didn’t let the actors/actresses do any of that.
FX:
Bad cgi/green screen for all discussions while driving scenes.



LIKES:
Product placement not as bad as in Thai dramas
Like FLs wardrobe, wardrobe in general was good
Good lighting
Location/sets
Rooftop views of city
Cinematography & colour palette
Writing: showing a strong female presence in business world.
FL &ML shown talking about their feelings and communicating with each other, trusting each other completely [for most of the show, but not towards end].

OVERALL: Disappointing writing and production, fast forward/skip will be used for the second half of the drama. Barely made it to end and only because I like Xu Kai and the FL did well in acting her part too. I don’t recommend it (especially if you like legal dramas), I won’t watch it again and there were no memorable moments to revisit either.
