This remake was so much better than the Suits remake… though I only watched one or two seasons of the American version of this series…. Think it’s partially related to the budget for this one being slightly higher than the Suits remake… The casting for this is so much better, though I don’t think Jang Do Yeon is as charming and alluring as Alicia Florrick (unrelated to her solid acting capabilities), hence the FL being the only exception. The rest of the main leads aced it, alongside the supporting cast. Everyone’s chemistry was way off the charts…
Nana was truly amazing here, loved her character. She has a knack for acting, kinda sad that she doesn’t usually get casted in good dramas…
Kinda surprised the MDL score isn’t higher… thought it was a pretty solid legal themed series regardless of whether it was a remake. The cases are definitely a lot more unique, interesting and the details are defo intricate versus a lot of other Korean legal dramas. I’m deducing it’s because they adopted the cases from the American drama.
P.S: Damnnnn, that smokingggg hot elevator scene…… 😍😍😍 Also actually loved all the tweaks they made to condense the 7-season run into 16-episodes. I actually kinda preferred the Korean remake in a some ways, esp the ending though I do find it a tad rushed.
Damns, I thought the evil wife would get more of a payback. She was let off too easily, she’s the epitome of crazy…. Like insecure, evil, manipulative and like ughhhhh!! 😡😡😡 Wth, I felt they could have done with another 15 mins to really wrap it up properly. Can’t believe the husband actually got a divorce to marry her, something I cannot understand…
I actually thought this was really really good, sounds like I’m the minority based on all the posts below 🤣. Raw and realistic esp. how men (or even women nowadays) underestimate the amount of work, time and energy that comes with upkeeping the household and bringing up kids while trying to have a career. It was so real when he said, “I actually thought I did so much when I take out trash and drop-off my kid at school, I absolutely had no idea. “
Most of the comments below think it’s glorifying cheating for females but I didn’t see that though… or at least that’s not wot I learnt after I finished the series… though I do think they were trying to differentiate different type of affairs and cheating… regardless of gender. Like physical, just about sleeping tog and the picture changes periodically, or emotional whereby it then becomes an affair with another sole person. And the subsequent ramifications of it… the different choices people make because of different circumstances, how it affects kids when they are at a sensitive age… etc.
I never knew Song Ji Hyo was a good actress… This is apparently based on a true story…. Maybe that’s why the details were so painstakingly real.
I’ve never thought Choi Ji Woo was a good actress at all… didn’t think she was bad either… but she really…
The ending as much as it was the typical K-drama trope and in a way kinda cliche…. BUT it was actually really realistic given the FL’s circumstances…. I can totally understand why she rejected his love and why she wants to stand on her own two feet…. It’s actually really scary to a person when she finally realises how “useless” and small one became because the person who got you pregnant manipulated and constantly rebuked you for 2 decades…. Starting another relationship immediately regardless of how much “love” is like jumping from one fire to another….
Also, how she very realistically dropped out of university, this was probably the most realistic out of all…. The dialogue was also very practical at times… I.e like when she rightly mentioned Germany was a mistake, a mistake a 19-yr old could have easily made… and she acknowledged it. A revelation I never had myself when I was younger was actually all the questions her son asked himself in his freshman year after the heated debate with his girlfriend…. One especially stuck “why do you want to work for a large corporation?”…. He is so lucky because he realised he actually didn’t have the answers to those questions…. I wished I asked myself those questions before hitting 20… and perhaps now I can understand why people take gap years, I used to wonder why….
I’ve never thought Choi Ji Woo was a good actress at all… didn’t think she was bad either… but she really nailed the role here… like she was annoying, frustrating and once the rough diamond gets a little polish, she shone and was charming in kinda cute way…
I don’t think she is the best pair visually when it came to Lee Sang Yoon, somehow they don’t look very compatible physically because of their facial features, in fact they look slightly odd together… but their acting and chemistry made up for it. For example, Lee Sang Yoon and Lee Hanee look super compatible and cute tog… they have sucha similar face.
I have a nagging question about the girl who wrote malicious comments. She said that she couldn’t afford to…
Yeap until middle school, high school isn’t free.
But I think in all countries, it still “cost” to go to school… books, transportation, stationery, uniforms etc. I mean it will be super minimal cost but it will still amount to expenses… I’m surprised she didn’t mention it was coz she needed to help her grandma to earn money though… no idea if they are assuming it’s a given.
So I’ve always wondered why too as well, and someone finally provided the ans in Part 2 page of this series. Coz of subscription fee. So they split it and delay it means people would pay for at least another month of subscription.
Yes, I was questioning that too. There are plot holes everywhere. But still, the show is interesting.
Yea, there were, I think it’s partially because they tried to rush everything to fit 10 episodes. Like I noticed the 3 random survivors also disappeared in the last part of Ep 6. 🤣 like they just vanished.

Ki Young’s father… I know he’s in a dilemma but like seriously… wth.
