Glad I didn’t read reviews first
It’s kind of funny showing up a year later to pick up a show I didn’t bother watching because I’m not a bandwagon watcher, nor a particularly big fan of the leads. I’m here primarily to support KSH in the whole crap shoot attack on his life, and even tho I don’t care that much for his shows, I decided it was time to throw some traction behind this show eventually. 2025 has been rather disappointing in kdrama land, and I’ve been hanging out with their J & C counterparts.
Have to say it. When you come to the table with zero bias and haven’t read the silly reviews, you finally get to watch a show for what it is. This show was so well written - and yes lets forget the crazy stuff that gets chucked left right and center to get 16 episodes out of it - but nothing was predictable and you don’t really know what’s going to happen next. It was as well done as well as I enjoyed shows like Vincenzo, and nice cameo by the way by corn salad lol.
This was a real good watch, not my fave of the 24 shows but its up there.
One of the locations they filmed is in ky daughters town and I saw it while on a walk last summer. Fun to finally see it on the screen.
I loved mostly the massive growth arc for the family, and them also uniting with the inlaws. Such significance to that and a healthy development you don’t see often in asian dramas when it comes to families.
The lawyer buddies were awesome. The village neighbors also.
I’ll even say the baddy did a great job. Some fine acting all around. I hoped for a little more chemistry at times between the leads. I took off half a star because that felt lacking, and was a shame. I’m not sure if its the lack of intimacy between 2 people who supposedly can’t live without each other, or that FL is so brash so much of the time, shes a little hard to believe she really loves him deep down.
Either way a great drama. Ignore the haters. I’m a little more convinced after that to watch more shows by KSH, so hopefully he can win all his cases against the bullies and get back to living his life.
