Not sure if it's an unpopular opinion, but I personally really enjoyed it. Maybe I'm too emotional or maybe I don't watch all that many court dramas, but characters as well as cases were really interesting. Usually in this kind of dramas we focus of welathy vs poor (so bad vs good), but here? The first case was about dog! The way pets are treated! It was so uncommon and interesting! And then we got all those different minority groups being represented! You don't usually get immigrants' stories, and disabled people usually are only here to be sad and pathetic to make you cry, and yet, they had strong and annoying personalities, they weren't your typical victims with no flaws. Some cases were more show than the actual trials, but it was still very good. And main cast! Some court dramas (like Beyond the Bar for example) focus solely on two main characters and that's it. But here? All these ppl from the ProBono were actually characters with flaws and goals and backstory. The least developed was our strong dummy but apart from him, they all got a little time to shine, for viewers to get to know them. I like when the group of people in the show actually exists as their own characters instead of being just mains' friends. They also have a strong friendship and loyalty. Some scenes of these five going together reminded me of my beloved Vicenzo. Personally, I would recommend that series wholeheartedly to anyone who likes court dramas, teamwork and characters who are more than mains' friends/teammates. I would also love to see second season someday, if it was possible. :)
Not only a great revenge series, but also has really great male friendships! It was just sooo satisfying to watch, and certain scenes made me lose some tears too... Honestly, great series, you'll should give it a chance <3
It was good but not extra good. It was very interesting at the beginning but at some point like 7/8 ep started to get a little boring to me. I don't particularly like those "do i love him or not" tropes and misunderstanding tropes, so there's that. Plus is that there were "steamy nights" which is nice because they are adults, so it's normal. Worth watching (especially bc of cast!!) but its not must watch
this is not movie for everyone. It's so traumatizing, those scenes from assaults are so disgusting, and those poor poor kids... gods, never movie hit me as hard as this one. im just.. Speechless.
fr, and im only talking about s1, but the fact that show pictures do hyun as an awful boyfriend just because he can't be there for his gf all the time is ridiculous. He did say that he won't have much time for her and she didn't mind that. They both knew what they were getting into before they started dating. And honestly the fact that Tae O kept getting into their way was so annoying. I understand if he was simply worried but he was so obviously jealous that Song Yi started spending time with a man that wasn't himself. It's just annoying me sm, bc they made it seem like person who is broke can't date (it didn't have to be love that ends with marriage but they could make it work for a little longer if not for Tae O). I understand that in s2 more things are happening, but she show already starts picturing do hyun as an worse person in s1, just because he doesn't have much time or money. "I can't go on a dates or buy you things" bum, tae o buys her things "I may not have much time or be able to walk you home" bum, tae o does that bc hes rich and doesn't have to worry about money, while hes shitting on son yu boyfriend. I still can't get over the fact that they portrayed do hyun as the worst person on the earth just because it started raining when song yu was walking home from their date. that's so ridiculous but its just my personal take and im not planning to watch s2, so theres that
