There's a really beautiful 1957 American movie called '12 Angry Men' and this movie is definitely largely based off of that, but the actual court case in question was different this time, and everyone was great at their part.
I mean he has always been popular and a good actor but it's nice seeing him getting a deserved recognition afer…
so true! His nerdy, sweet, thoughtful, shy character in Start-Up deserved people to swoon after him but I am SO glad he is finally getting the recognition he has always deserved.
I know it's a romcom BUT I honestly can't believe a review above actually called the husband a misogynist, when in fact his wife actually was abusive as HELL! She was both verbally AND physically abusive, she never let him speak a word, never let him feel like he could even tell her that he wanted a divorce, that's how scared he was of her, and that shit is NOT CUTE.
Wow, what can I say about this absolute MASTERPIECE of a slow-burn, thriller show. Watching Ji Sung is ALWAYS a delight, the way he portrayed confidence, heartbreak, confusion, despair, desperation, misery, PAIN, and anguish was just TOO GOOD. I teared up at several points through the show and I just couldn't hold myself back from desperately wishing for him to achieve some sort of happiness through his seemingly never-ending pain. That man is a true POWERHOUSE of acting, just brilliant to watch. His chemistry and bromance with Shin Chul Shik and all his OPTIMUS PRIME glory lmao. He was amazing and hilarious to watch. The support our prosecutor received from his cell-mates was touching and heartwarming, and it was so easy to become involved in their personal lives too and cheer for their happiness also. The side characters were all endearing and sweet and it was a delight to see them interact with each other. I loved how, instead of telling people that the cell-mates were a family, they SHOWED that they were a family through their actions and their encouragement and their interactions. Every single scene of our dear prosecutor and his family in flashbacks was so damn sweet and so damn sad T-T. I HATED the villain in this one, he was absolutely revolting and it was sickening how he acted, kudos to the actor I guess. BUT even more than that I HATED HATED HATED the 'friend' prosecutor. He should've burned in hell tbh, he was TERRIBLE. The female attorney was too damn sweet to Ji Sung, at one point she even Googled 'How to aid in breaking someone out of prison' and that was A D O R A B L E. I loved how the brother-in-law was as a character, he was righteous but he changed his views and opinions and actions as the story progressed. I liked the pace of the story, but overall it could've maybe been better in a 14/16 episode format, but that's taking it from a 100% to a 1000% tbh, it was thrilling throughout! LOVED IT. I would highly recommend it.
