This is a classic case of a drama starting of strong yet meandering in its later half trying to both resolve everything (and failing) but also just dragging shit on forever and ever past the point of any investment. I found it hard to get attached to any characters. I liked Park Changsons gimmick earlier on that he was a fake-it-till-you-make-it expert and seeing that throughout all of the show would have been fun. A sort of sly fox type of character that is all talk but somehow everyone buys the bluff.

In the 1st half, there were shades of that, but somewhere near the 2nd half he just becomes this cool boss charismatic aura farming pretty boy who can do no wrong and has a plan for everything which is like...boring as hell. I never felt much tension because the show just plays around with comitting to violence but pulling back whenever it gets meaningful that it just didn't set up any stakes at all in my eyes, and when it does actually pull the trigger it feels kinda flat to me cause I don't really care about any of the characters.

There are 2 shows to check out to get the 2 aspects of it that I did enjoy:
- Evilive for the meek lawyer turn corrupt and going way in over his head
- Defendant for the falsely accused prosecutor intensely fighting for justice against a supervillain

Both of those outdo Big Mouse imo.
