No, ty.

This wont be a full review, there's no need for that. And with that, I'll start the first point by saying the synopsis is a bit wrong. She's not a social butterfly (unless the definition changed), they are not building solid friendships (they already are good friends).
Next. This is not about law, or even romance. Its more like a slice-of-life thing. Lots of eating, some legal jargon, some fake drama and problems, and thats it.
Ok, now to point a fake-decent thing. The moral problems. Some good questions there. It feels like that was the main point of this show, raising awareness (as if no one knew about that) and some story-like around. Empty episodes, full of fluff (thats what I call the stuff thats there only to help an episode reach the target time length), flashbacks (even from 5 minutes earlier?, wtf) and such. Every episode (or two) have a problem to talk about so a lawyer happens to get cases that focus only on those aspects. Or different problems resulting from not talking (otherwise the episode would end too quickly, I know).
But what I meant by fake-decent is the fact that what started as an interesting thing, quickly changed to "even though you have more experience and raised some good points in the first episodes, let me teach you stuff about the law and ethics and morality". Coincidentally, that was also when I started wishing for this series to end already. Especially the last 2 episodes were a drag. Most of the endings were easy to guess and I kept checking the time, nothing on the screen made me care anymore. In fact, I even started being critical over every spoken word. "blah blah blah, because someone listened to her". "wait, what? Wasn't she the one who said she doesn't wanna talk? That she's guilty and wants to get punished? Since when people never wanted to listen to what she had to say?? WTF?!" Or "Hello, its been a while." "Oh, hey. Omg. And congratulations!" "Wait, what?? You're her coleague but you never visited?? WTF?!" Yeah, I hit some lows, I'm ashamed... OK, not really.
Anyway, thats all there is to it. Eating, fake drama, eating, moral things, eating. I wont bother with the plot, script, character development, soundtrack and such... It gets a rating of 4, for the (sometimes) decent acting, some decent cinematography, and sometimes decent dialogue.
Have a lovely evening.
