I finally watched this because of the positive reviews it got.
the first few episodes were interesting, sometimes funny but after maybe 9th episode, it became just like any other generic boring drama out there who wants to send a message to its audience in the worst possible in your face tone..
Despite the promising start and the fact that fl would look at a different angle of the cases that usually others miss, I think they started to get too emotional in handling their cases as drama went on.

Episodes 9 and 10 are the boldest examples. (*spoilers ahead*)

-In ep 9 although the parents had excessive educational practices for the kids, a random guy kidnapping the kids isn't the solution! at least give him a legitimate practice to achieve that goal instead of being unapologetic about kidnapping kids! like building a free playground! or some kind of playtime program.
-In ep 10, no matter how much they wanted to turn it into a love story.. with her situation and that guy, it also felt to me that he was taking advantage of her.. the mom surely was pushing her a bit too much but the mom had legit concerns! fl kept talking about spectrum yet forgetting not everyone is as lucky as her! did the girl really know what it means to love someone? fl lead her on with their conversation in the street. the guy who calls the women in his sight 'noona' or gives nicknames to get close to them and had a history of hitting on another disabled person in the past is such a red flag even for an average girl, let alone the girl in this case.

the rest of the cases were too boring for me to care!!

I can't believe I'm saying this but the romance was unnecessary and it might have been better if fl could find friends along the way or something like that..

My last complaint is the mom ...
I wish they just focused on her life and adapting to society. I mean it would've been very interesting if she actually moved out from his dad's place and changed firms!! yet because of the unnecessary mom plot, she continued working the job she got through connections.. even if the ceo did it out of spite to ruin her mom doesn't change anything.

As for the characters, everyone was likable at some point except Kwon Min U.
at the beginning, although it originated from his jealousy and insecurity, I think he was not wrong about calling out fl for getting the job through connections.
for the rest of the drama though I can not excuse his trashy behavior.

Overall it wasn't unwatchable but it wasn't something to rave about! I won't be re-watching it in future.
If the stuff I mentioned doesn't bother you, go ahead and watch it.
