I could have watched soo many more episodes with these 5. I loved that the law was more of a focus with the personal stories sprinkled in. This was a very enjoyable watch.
I reached episode 10 and I'm thinking of dropping the drama waay too sad for me but at the same time I'm so curious.…
Yes you need to finish this. I will only say it’s a heavy show and will deal with some heavy topics but it is so worth it. I feel like you really get to understand SY by the end. She was such an interesting character.
What a well thought out and articulated review. You put into words a lot of the same thoughts I had but could not express. SY for me was such an interesting character and I often found myself drawn more to her then EJ.
There’s a lot to unpack with this one. I struggled to get into the drama at first, but once I pushed past the first two episodes, I ended up binging the rest.
I know what SY did can definitely be seen as toxic, but I also find myself empathizing with her. I’m not excusing her behavior, but the trauma she experienced with her brother at such a young age clearly had a profound impact on her. While some of those negative traits were already there, her experiences only amplified them — and as the saying goes, hurt people hurt people.
I can’t help but think that if SY had been able to truly move on from SH back in college, she and EJ could have built a strong, lasting friendship and gone on to have incredibly successful careers together.
The ending, though — that really stayed with me. I completely understood why SY made the choice she did. I’ve been in that same heartbreaking position of watching a loved one suffer, so I could truly put myself in her shoes in that moment. When she made that final decision, it was absolutely gut-wrenching but, in a way, also freeing. I had to sit with that scene for a while afterward because I honestly couldn’t even put my feelings into words.
What really moved me was how EJ stood by her through it all. Knowing she didn’t have to face that journey alone made the story even more powerful and emotional for me.
I really enjoyed it and was satisfied with the ending, though I do think it could have been expanded to 16 episodes to explore things more deeply. Personally, I like to see the relationship between the ML and FML not so much as them truly falling in love, but rather as two people who leaned on and learned from each other. They grew close through their shared experiences, but to me, their bond felt more like a deep, meaningful connection than a purely romantic one.
Only 4 episodes in and while I’m enjoying this, I think I prefer the Korean version as of right now. However I like the ML Wataru way better than the ML in the Korean version.
