Go Gwi Nam and his mouth zipping gestures reminds me of Robert DeNiro's "I'm watching you" gestures from Meet the Parents. And both characters are quite a bit out there.
Since when is huffing glue a serious epidemic? I haven't laughed like that in a while. Glue was being treated like a black market item sold on the down-low. haha
And it’s non-stop. Like, she doesn’t take a break from being righteous about ERRYTHING. And how is it possible…
That is my issue with the character too. Nothing against the actress. The writer has done a poor job with a bunch of the characters.
Oh Reum picks up new interests to be righteous about every week. Every week it is something new. A real person can't be self righteous about all these topics. The character is meant to drive the dialogue and discussion each week, but that is a really lazy way to introduce each week's societal issue to shine light on.
Also definitely agree a lot of her behavior is unprofessional. Almost like the writer is trying to change the narrative of what is and isn't "professional". But a lot of is "in your face" unprofessionalism.
And then Ba Reun's understanding of his father was really confusing. He didn't know what his father did while he grew up? And it is acceptable that his father is a jobless vagabond because he donates blood? The father lost his job years ago and hasn't been able to hold down a stable position since. That isn't acceptable as a head of the household.
This was good. And mostly followed the 1st and part of 2nd season of the US show. The major deviations happened in the last 3 episodes. And I felt like the ending was rushed as a result. Overall it was good though. And that is because the first couple seasons of the US show were really strong as well. I really wish the Korean version had tied up the end better if they are only going to do one season. A bit disappointing if there won't be a 2nd season.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Moo Won end up being the new killer. In a twisted way of getting Nak Won to hate Na Moo and cut all ties and have him being Nak Won's only outlet and being reliant on him. He clearly loves his step sister. Something dark happened to his parents. He turned Na Moo's brother in. Threatened Na Moo on multiple occasions. It fits. He could have become delusional and became a serial killer himself.
To state the bleeding obvious if he had just hired him as a paralegal/assistant instead of as a qualified lawyer…
This is exactly how I felt about the American show. They drew out the drama of Mike not being a lawyer forever. When he could have gone to law school or passed the bar himself in a year if they had let him work as a paralegal for a year.
Why keep working as a fraud when you have the means and intelligence to change that?
I felt the same watching that episode. If this is the plot line then the show has lost me. I was really enjoying…
I started to feel the same way with this week's episode. Ended up skimming through most of the episode as a result. Lost interest in the show quite easily.
Stuff like this that is lazy writing to manufacture drama instead of having a believable plot with good writing bothers me. And like I said it can cause me to lose interest in a show completely. Hopefully they get back on track next week.
Then again a judge running the entire city was also pretty far out there to begin with. And running a city separate from the rest of the country was far-fetched as well. The early luster of the show has worn off quite a bit with what I believe is weak plot at the core.
It is so stupid and ridiculously unbelievable that everyone that knew Bong Sang Pil well would all of a sudden believe he is responsible for his Uncle's death.
Not a fan of the 2nd female lead's character or the writing for her character. It is very cliche and poorly written. She didn't care about the lead's feelings at all until someone else came into the picture and suddenly made the lead show some interest. He had already asked the 2nd female lead many times to marry him. She had her chance and decided to make a game of it and waste time. And now we get the cliche 2nd female lead that wants what isn't her's just because she can. Just very lazy and unoriginal writing.
Besides that I like the leads and their interactions. I really like the song and dance scenes with Lee Sung Kyung. Her practicing scenes were great. She has a unique aura about her.
That ending was so bad. Yet it fit this show perfectly. What a terrible show and what terrible writing. Was this based off a novel? Did they butcher the adaptation? If not, how could that novel have been popular?
This has been great so far. And it actually got me to go watch the American show as well. The American Suits was pretty good for the first 3-4 seasons, but then I began to lose interest as they focused more on office politics and bringing back re-occurring villains than they did the cases like in the first couple seasons. Such is the case with so many American shows that outlast their welcome.
I hope there will be a 2nd season of this though. I think a couple seasons for a Kdrama could tie up all the loose ends and this will be excellent.
I watched first episodes but Im not liking it, I like both actors and was so hype but I think they both over acting…
I keep falling asleep watching the first episode. Maybe I shouldn't watch it so late, but that isn't a good sign. And I love both the leads and other shows they have done. I'll give it a chance though and see if I can finally make it through the 1st episode and the next few.
I really hope the romance angle isn't pursued much at all. This show has a chance at being really good as a comedy that doesn't take itself seriously. And the romantic interactions between the 3 leads left to our imaginations.

The first couple seasons of American Suits were good, so that isn't a bad thing.
