Don't be fooled by "Comedy" tag unless you have a very special sense of humor like if you can laugh your arse off watching Doreamon... well, honestly it's the same for every JDrama I watched.
This reminds me once again how Japanese screenwriters lack the ability to balance drama and humor, if we could call it so (itadakimanguusu!? itadakimandoriru!? ... i don't get it...) I understand that the protagonist should be an eccentric genius to justify his fixation with criminal cases, but making it so cheesy when it's about a serious issue as the lack of good legal representation for poor criminal defendants... what a waste!
Just finished episode 12, I felt like in terms of editing episode 11 was way better. I always watch the international…
It's like this:
episode 12 the king to Hae Soo: you know I'm dying and I'm aware you can foresee the future, there will be fights for the throne, do not get involved!
episode 13 same king to Hae Soo: I'm dying! you go bring the crown prince to prevent his brothers from occupying the throne!
Yeah, I knew I wasn't going to last long since episode 12 yet there was no need to call him back sooner, and despite you being a stranger low maid that got feeble and limping due to the torture you received under my command, I'm sending you to another town to look for the crown prince instead of some other loyal and capable subject of mine.
For me Japanese dramas are dull most of the scenes, so I was watching this in fast motion (2x), and since ambient music is all over the place, I didn't notice much difference. But I come to a realization: Hayese = Grouchy Smurf!!! Really, was there any reason for casting the shortest guy for the dick role? he is bad at acting anyway... so why?
I'm more and more tempted to use fast-forward, the story is too centered on Hae Soo's love life, and the subplots are not well interwoven and mostly half-baked...
Just started watching this, and I think the credit for getting a rate as low as 1 from the get-go, goes solely to Hwang Jung Eum, that squeaky voice and god-awful drunken performance...
Episode 4 with the time warp, felt like the writers flushed through the toiled a lot of interesting stuff they could use to make a "real" show. I'm more interested now in knowing how will they fill the remaining twelve episodes than in the storyline itself.
And the Man Of The Day Award goes to Prosecutor Tak!
Pity they didn't let his character have some brains, Ok he is a man of integrity, but at least let him score one by himself. This time, I was expecting it to be a maneuver he's come up with alone, but no chance.
Score/rating went down a few notches.. i haven't started it yet but can anyone give me a super vague reason why…
Or rather because some overenthusiastic people rate shows highly right from the first episode (some even before that, just based on the cast). Then others, after watching several episodes, allowing them to make a reasonable assessment start rating it lower.
