The first episode was a disappointment. Will the main female lead continue with such ridiculous antics or will they tone it down? I don't think I'll be able to continue watching if she continues with these absurd actions that are really unbelievable for a judge.
This is not my first time watching a family drama, but it is definitely my first finishing one. I usually get bored of dramas that are long. When I started watching it, it was because of the lack of dramas that interested me and I just wanted to waste time. After watching a couple of episodes, I just couldn't hold back and binge watched the rest of the episodes that aired already. I'm not the type to wait for episodes to come out weekly because I can't handle the wait. However, I did try that in this drama until it consumed all of my thoughts throughout the week so I decided to wait for it to finish first. After some time, I forgot about it but it still came to mind every every now and then and I would be intrigued with the possibilities that could have happened to the characters. Now that I have finished it, I can honestly say that it didn't disappoint. Some of the scenes did drag but it was never boring. The characters were interesting throughout and the actors and actresses truly were amazing in portraying the roles they played, they didn't seem fictional but were brought to life. I loved the relationship between the family members and how they were there for each other and had each others backs whenever and wherever. It was heartwarming watching their interactions. Each couple had their own charm as well and had me grinning and squealing in their scenes. Lee Yoo Ri and Lee Joon deserve awards for their fantastic acting and portrayal of their characters. I loved the way the writer and director portrayed them as well. I'm a definite fan of them now and will be watching out for their work. A salute for the amazing cast, saranghamnida <3
I hope somebody can talk to me about this just in case I'm missing something because it's driving me…
My bad, forgot to tick off the spoiler box. Yes, I do remember that there was no record of the murders, and you could be right about it being a mistake since lots of korean dramas change their scenarios while airing to accommodate the viewers. However, the dead Kwang Ho didn't directly search for old cases like Shin Jae Yi and the rest... He already suspected the coroner, and he's a cop so he probably searched the guy's history to check whether similar cases have occurred or if people around him have coincidentally died. He could have come across different cases similar to the old people's poisoning and kept on investigating, one thing led to another, until he came across the 1986 victim's brother.

He probably started suspecting him because of the old people's poisoning case, but as he started investigating him more, he might have discovered that the coroner was involved in the murders back in 1986.
She doesn't have a bad mother in law, but for someone who supposedly raised her and was a friend of her mother's, she's not treating her right. She didn't mind having ahjumma drop out of highschool to finance her son and daughter's studies? She obviously looks down on her and thinks that her son is too good for her. She orders her around and asks her to do impossible tasks. She doesn't allow her freedom to go out or do whatever she wants. Ahjumma is too skittish around a family that raised her, this just doesn't sound right. Also, if she trusts her husband, she would have asked him to check on her parents case, but she didn't. Instead, she decided to ask the detective whom she hasn't known for long. It feels like she's more of a living maid rather than a "daughter' of the house (her mother in law told her that she would treat her like a daughter when she adopted her).
Also, there are many mysteries that we still have no clue about:
1. Her parents case will undoubtedly reveal something big
2. If her MIL was such a close friend of her mother's -enough to adopt her-, how was their first meeting at the funeral?
3. Is the detective's ex-girlfriend still alive? And if she is then why did she disappear?
4. Why is Wan Seung's father trying to save Jang Ok Jang when his son is so determined on catching him?
5. Since there are 6 more eps and still no romance between the leads, does this mean that she will remain married to her corrupt prosecutor husband?
6. What role will the famous profiler play?
I've only had SLS once, and that was in Sassy Go Go. I wanted Ji Soo Oppa to get the girl. I can tolerate all of the above except for a weak female lead. Even though I hate tragic/unsatisfactory endings, I despise weak females more. I don't mind if she's shy or if she cries a couple of times but I just cannot withstand watching a drama where the girl is treated like a doormat/retard. The drama loses all of it's appeal to me.
I do not tolerate abuse of any kind, whether physical or emotional. It just angers me so much so I can't tolerate more than a couple of episodes before just dropping the drama.
This drama feels like a disappointment. I had higher expectations for it and kept trying to give it a chance instead of just giving up and dropping it but I feel like I just wasted my time.
I've probably watched this drama 4 times already. Lee Jong Suk is such a great actor and the chemistry between him and the female lead is amaaazing. I also loved how every character grew into a better version of themselves. The plot was realistic and every scene felt like it contributed to the overall plot. I never got bored nor felt like it dragged on.
