Biased Review and Vent
Out of the many series involving legal cases, there isn't anything particularly that makes this one unique with regards to the execution and resolutions of each case. However, it does touch on very real issues we have currently ongoing in our world without the over-dramatization of the actual issues.
There is one major overall aspect that I really love about the entire series because it hit a very personal sore spot. Since childhood, my blunt personality and nonchalance of what others thought about me has always been an easy target for others to put blame on for anything or everything. And our male lead in the series experiences this over and over again. Despite having earned his place through hard work and endurance, despite the fact that he knew there can be no resolution in the real world unless you play the game, and despite having proven over and over again his true intent... everyone around him continued to doubt him.
His pro bono team were pretty much useless on actually winning cases which would truly help victims but they judged and continued to judge him harshly on his methods. They celebrated every time there was a win and happily took credit but whenever there was ever the slightest potential shakeup, they would look at him critically again. They lectured him with their own personal idealistic views but can't exact real results without relying on him. They claimed he was arrogant but failed to realize their own deeply embedded egos and inabilities. People who like to think and feel passionately but can't execute any real results, so all they can do is stand on their imaginary pedestal and look down on others.
Even the one female I was rooting for to be his match, ended up betraying him. Despite the "happy" ending, I felt instead heavy sadness for the ML; he has been alone for so long and continues to be utterly alone in the end. He proved time and time again to have done everything with good intentions and overcame his own selfish desires to still choose to be good. But with just a whisper or a slight shift in climate, and the true hypocrites around him immediately casts doubt again. I really wasn't happy about him taking those ignorant dependents under his wing despite this because they are undeserving. Repetitive apologies doesn't take away the wounds from constantly being accused or doubted by the world who can't see outside themselves, much less be someone who can be there for others. At the same time however, I was paradoxically content with the ending because it's a very real depiction on how foolish the world can be. And now I shall go watch something that will throw me into a world further from reality to balance out.
