Really well written
I'm not a big one to watch lawyer shows because about halfway through, the storyline gets lost in weeds halfway done, and they forget how to move the main parts of the drama forward until episode 10-ish. By that time, I'm bored and move on.
This drama's writing is well-crafted, and the acting is above par. Not one episode dragged or lacked a thought-provoking storyline, BUT, the ending. Really? I'm not sure if they were hoping for a green light for season 2 or just wanted the viewer to write their own interpretation of the main leads' relationship, but I threw a couple of pillows at the TV after it aired. The ending should have complemented the previous 11 episodes and not left the viewer wondering, "What just happened?" Would I watch season 2? Yes, but I'd wait until all the episodes were released to make sure the drama didn't lack closure.
It's well worth watching, but do so with the understanding that season 2 is needed to know what relationship the two leads pursue. To me, writers need to understand that closure doesn't mean that a story is not followed further; it just tells the person watching what direction is chosen by the characters at that moment. I could understand if the main leads chose a mentor/student relationship or went forward to try a romantic one, but to leave off in mid-sentence is infuriating and my idea of lazy writing.
