Political corruption! Injustice! Human misery & trauma!

Definitely recommend this if you're interested in a k-drama-styled exploration of how political self-interest, confirmation bias, and protectionism lead to the corruption and subsequent injustice of the Korean judicial system.
But it's also fun enough with k-drama kitsch for my mom to enjoy!
It's not perfect (small, kinda clunky at times, real exposition heavy, some plot and character threads become comically ridiculous) but it's got enough special moments for me to go, wooow, I love this show!
For example: there are many subtle acting moments rich with subtext, innuendo, and wit; it gave me an insight into a gentle, hidden level of Korean dialogue i've never watched in a k-drama before.

Strong script, strong actors, solid story. Fuck yeah!
