This show depicts the life of a newly-hired lawyer Woo Young-Woo in a prestigious firm. Though she is incredibly skilled, she is often looked down upon as she is autistic. She learns to manage this new aspect of her life in the law firm with the help of her colleagues and her superior while working on various cases.

The cases are diversified, giving each episode a different mood. I liked the fact that Woo Young-Woo's opinion and experience always gave a interesting perspective on each case.

We also get to experience her strenghts and struggles as an autistic person, especially in terms of social interactions. She learns how to adapt to others as others learn how to adapt to her. On this point, the directing did a great job in showing her perspective of the world on screen.

The main lead's romance is also really well handled, depicting the peculiar aspects of a romantic relationship with an autistic person. The characters are sweet and their chemistry is undeniable.

On the other hand, the second lead's romance feels a little rushed, especially considering the fact that the male second lead doesn't have enough of a redemption arc in my opinion. This is actually the only reproach I can find for this show.

There is also a secondary plot about Woo Young-Woo's family that becomes the main plot in the last episodes. It was interesting and moving in the end, although it was a little lengthy in my opinion, but still nice to watch.

Though all of the actors did an amazing job in this show, I was particularly impressed by the main actress, Park Eun-Bin (I strongly recommend watching the rest of her filmography).

In short, I loved it, rewatched it several times, and can't wait for season 2!
