Decent series in a unique genre

Positives:
The FL's acting stands out as a strong point.
The cases are slightly different from typical legal dramas, offering some variety.
The visuals are appealing and well-executed.
A few cases, like Case 4 (Geurami's father's property), were particularly engaging and well-written.

Negatives:
The plot feels weak and lacks depth, with minimal character development.
The ML (Male Lead) is underutilized, and there’s no strong justification for his feelings toward the FL (Female Lead). Similarly, the FL’s reasons for liking the ML are unclear and unconvincing.
Characters undergo abrupt changes in their behavior, especially in the second half, which feels unrealistic and poorly executed.
While the cases start off interesting, they become repetitive and dull over time. Stretching a single case over two episodes often feels unnecessary and drags the pacing. Some cases could have been resolved with simple legal consultations, making the extended treatment feel excessive.

Overall Thoughts:
This is a decent series that’s worth watching once, especially if you’re looking for something light and easy to follow. However, it falls short of its potential due to weak storytelling and lack of character depth.

Approach this as a light, casual watch rather than a gripping legal drama.

IMP NOTE: The unnecessary subplots involving the mother, firm rivalries, and personal grudges (hinted at in short 1-minute scenes each episode) create false expectations, so it’s best to keep your expectations in check for a more enjoyable experience.
