If you're into legal dramas - don't watch this.
If you're into romance dramas - don't watch this.

It is a sort of blend of the two, but neither here nor there.

The legal part is lacking, but it kept me engaged throughout and I really wanted to find out who the murdered was (although you kind of get the idea early on).

I've seen comments complaining about the leads' chemistry, but I thought given the setting and circumstances, both lead actors played their parts really well.

There was some repetitiveness in the dialogue. I feel like i've heard La-Ik saying "im sorry, i feel this is all because of me" at least 3 times to 3 different people.

The one thing I cannot forgive though, is the half-redemption they tried with La-Ik's mother. The woman did not care if he was sick, burned out, if she hasnt seen him in months, or if he was a murder suspect. Even went as far as basically testifying against him!
Her and the two sasaengs deserved some sort of retribution as well.

Overall a good drama to kill time, you would not feel like it was a waste and although there's ah-lot of crying, it ends on a cheerful note with a little added humour.
