At the end of episode two and it’s full steam ahead! Lee Sung Kyung is just wonderful.

I really enjoyed this show until episode 20. Then I found the next ten episodes were so so and I lost patience with it and zoomed through episodes 31 & 32.

I like the characters, the acting is very good and the filming is spot on. It’s just what has happened with the story.

Today I looked at episode 39. As some others have said - suddenly this episode has put things back on track (I won’t be watching eps 33 - 38 - the ultimate in fast forwarding!). So, I have gone from dropping it to, well maybe I will just watch the next episode.

I think you raise some very interesting points. Is Ms H in fact portraying empathy? In the matters of partiality and therefore the application of being impartial, empathy by decision makers is very important. There are many legal cases (and quasi judicial ones) throughout the world where evidence has not been enough, or is lacking and so empathy comes into the equation when a decision or ruling is made.

On the matter of history, it is often said it is written by the victors (or those who claim they were the victors e.g. Rameses II vs Muwatalli II - both sides claimed victory!). I seem to recall dealing with Hammurabi many years ago when I studied archaeology because he was perhaps the first ruler to come up with the concept regarding the presumption of innocence. As my kids would say, “Gee Dad - were you around back then and meet that guy, because it sure sounds like it?”.

Anyway, I have wrapped up my viewing of Ms H after two episodes because it wasn’t quite gelling for me. I was hoping for a lot more. The potential was there.

After two episodes I have decided to give Miss Hammurabi away. I can see what the writers are trying to do, but I find the show is a mish mash of approaches, ideas and issues. Each time the story becomes interesting, it then quickly unravels.

The acting is fine and some of the characters are very good. Even some of the scenes are real gems and the back stories are interesting. However, it feels like I am watching three different shows moulded into one.

Episode four - thank you for continuing with the subs. This is a great show up to this point. It’s not an easy story to tell or portray. Some people are like rabbits trapped in the headlights of their lives and find it difficult to express how they feel.

Well, here I am at the end of episode three and the party has continued! The leads are great, the bad guys are fabulous and the lawless firm gang are a hoot (think Meerkats or the Penguins of Madagascar).

What a cracking ride! Two episodes in and we have a rip snorter of a show. As everyone is saying: strap yourself in and enjoy - it’s going to be a lot of fun (I love the guys in the Hawaiian shirts).

This is one of those dramas that the Japanese do extremely well. It’s full of heart and is uplifting.

Not sure, but I noticed that another two episodes were quickly subbed today and I watched those this afternoon - so I have completed 20 episodes. My list shows 24 episodes in total. I had a quick look elsewhere and other sites are showing the same.

With 4 episodes to go, it is building up to a big finish!

I didn’t like the Japanese version in the end, which is unusual for me. However, I am enjoying the direction Rich Man is heading including what unfolds in episode 4.

Beautiful in every sense of the word. My Mister moves into my top three dramas of all time, alongside Deadwood and Game of Thrones.

I think it’s very different to Suspicious Partner and so far it is better than Sign (2011) which was pretty good. Some of the forensic elements are more in keeping with this really great British shows: Silent Witness and the Talking Dead.

I think Jung Yoo Mi is great. I don’t have a problem with her “gut instinct”. At times it’s quite valid. I spend a lot of time with people (including very experienced ones) showing them how to move on from a gut instinct to achieving an open mind. Then there are times when I say to them “what does your gut tell you?”.

I also like Jung Jae Young as a character, and I am sure he well pass on more effectively in time how Yoo Mi can achieve a more informed mind set. He needs to wear some of the Disney Grumpy tee shirts I have that say “I’m grumpy - don’t make it worse!”

After six episodes, it gets a big thumbs up from me. There is mystery, history, sci-fi and fantasy, romance and mirth.

This is the first drama in a long time where I have wanted to see more of the back story including when our lead pair were young. Those scenes have been done so well.

I only managed three episodes, which is unfortunate because there is a lot going for this lakorn. As so many have pointed out: Yaya as Jee is fabulous. Much of the acting by the other cast members is very good, some of the scenes are excellent, but I found the story unconvincing and very frustrating. Every time I became engaged, Sathit’s scenes undid much of what I was starting to find interesting. Mark didn’t do a bad job as Sathit, I just thought the character wasn’t quite right. I also thought Piak was okay and I didn’t mind her being over the top. And yes, Suki’s as Jee’s manager is very good.

This show is full on entertainment and JGS is excellent. He plays both roles so well that it is hard to pick when he “switches”. Also, Han Ye Ri is fabulous - a great performance. In fact, it’s hard to fault anyone in this show. Enjoy the ride.

A nice movie with a beautiful ending. It’s not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

A brilliant start (but not easy watching at times). So much is packed into each half hour you wonder why with other shows you need to watch anything longer that.

I am enjoying this so much more than the Japanese original (which I stopped watching halfway through).

That being said, I did find the first episode was so so and thought about dropping it. However, despite knowing what would happen next, I decided to watch episode two and thoroughly enjoyed it. The slight differences here and there to the original made it a much better experience for me.
