I hope Min Woo will get the karma he deserves for being such a jealous and evil person cause of his superiority…
Min Woo is going to get a redemption arc and finish the drama as her strongest legal ally. I think. (Right now, he's weak and confused, but he'll be changed when he hooks up with Spring Sunshine.) You heard it here first :-)
Welp, I pretty much wanted to plant that knife Woo's father dropped right in Tae Soo Mi's black and selfish heart, but Woo's father did a very good job of expressing that for me. The whole scene was extremely well done in an episode that was full of very intense, very well acted scenes. Everything about this show has been superb.
Everything was reading along fine, and then that last sentence happened. Some way, some how, the character's "uncontrollable sexual desire" is going to cause a misunderstanding, or noble idiocy, or a divorce, or the truck of doom, but you can bet your a** that it won't be a good thing.
Show has a great cast, and the script writer has written some very good things in the past. High potential to be a must watch. Of course, it can also be yet another big, fat disappointment. Fingers crossed.
Very good chemistry between the leads--because these leads are expert performers. A light drama, as inconsequential as dandelion fluff, and yet another body-swap drama that avoids answering the questions that almost all viewers of body-swap dramas would want answered. Since the show avoids any of the interesting ideas and problems that come with an actual body-swap situation (I mean, wouldn't sex be amazing, at least?), it's quite boring after the first few episodes.
I liked it, but it's a show that doesn't really know what it is. Romance? Revenge? Makjang? It rings all those bells, but not convincingly. Elements of the show are absurd, and too many characters are cartoonishly evil. A fun and sometimes thrilling watch; a rare drama that needed more episodes.
"Would my mother have abandoned me, if I was a whale?" coming seconds after the description of harpooning baby whales so that their mothers, who refuse to leave their harpooned babies, can be killed made me cry like a baby. I won't be forgetting that for a long time. If ever.
Honestly, it's been a long time since I watched a show that delighted me as much as this one does. You sort of watch it with your heart in a clutch, wanting to wrap her up tightly to keep her safe. In episode 4, when the director gives Woo Young Woo a long, long time to take in the whale photo in the conference time, I found myself tearing up at her simple, open pleasure. I absolutely adore how she dances with pleasure.
I really dislike it when actors, especially women, are characterized as "fat" or "old". Also, the version with James and Kimberly was the second version, not the first.
The 2FL is doing a great job of portraying serious personality disorder. In the real world, she'd be under the care of appropriate mental healthcare professionals and medicated or institutionalized. In this drama, her behavior doesn't elicit sympathy. In the middle of one of her tantrums, you just sort of want to roll her up in a rug, and pound her until she shuts the hell up. But you know.
This show. It started out so well, and now it's just a typical romance bore with a potential love triangle on the horizon. FL starts out badass, and now her brain is dissolving into man goo. Bummer.
2022 has mostly been a bust for me, drama wise, but then along came "A Dream of Splendor" and "Alchemy of Souls", and now "Lawyer Woo Young Woo". Even if we don't get any other good shows (and we will, I hope), there will be these 3 to re-watch and re-watch, if it comes to it.
Gosh, I really, really love this.

Carry on.
