Great Acting, But Not the Story I Hoped For
I started watching this drama after leaving it in my watchlist for a long time. The main reason I finally gave it a try was because of the excellent ratings and glowing reviews I thought I’d enjoy it like everyone else. But unfortunately, it just wasn’t for me.
By around episode 7, I already had the feeling that this show wasn’t clicking with me. Still, I kept watching because I wanted to finish it. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad drama there are definitely strong points but it didn’t meet my expectations either.
One of the biggest issues for me was the romance. It felt forced and out of place. I know many viewers liked that part, but for me, it didn’t add anything meaningful. In fact, I believe this drama would’ve been excellent if it focused solely on Woo Young Woo as an autistic lawyer solving unique legal cases. Watching her grow stronger, more confident, and more successful through her brilliant memory and sharp mind that’s the story I really wanted.
I also felt that the legal cases weren’t always that mind blowing. A few stood out, but many didn’t feel very impactful. That said, the cast was undeniably strong. Park Eun Bin, especially, was outstanding. She completely disappeared into the role it was like watching a completely different person. I’m not sure anyone else could’ve portrayed Woo Young Woo the way she did. She was truly unbelievable.
I also liked some of the side characters, like her friend Dong Geu Rami, and I found the family drama involving her mother and father quite interesting. But again, the romance held it back for me.
Overall, this drama just wasn’t my cup of tea. I see why others love it, and I respect that but for me, I would’ve enjoyed it more without the romance and with a stronger focus on legal challenges and character growth.
