Law drama with a side of slow-burn romance
A great legal/slice-of-life drama that I thoroughly enjoyed. The pacing of the drama was great. There's no big surprises or anything in the drama, but it was overall a pleasant watch. I liked how each episode had a case of its own and that there was no over-the-top romance to take away from the law theme of the show. All the cases were interesting and tapped into a lot of important real-life scenarios.
The main characters were written and casted perfectly. Yun Seok Hun and Kang Hyo Min were always sensible and realistic- with every action justified- which is very rare to see in dramas. I think that's what made the drama really fun to watch.
The script is quite romantic and I really enjoyed that. However, its not romance between the MCs. Rather, it focuses on the different types of romance (i.e. between family, etc.) and between the other side characters, If you're looking for a law drama with obvious romance between the leads, this is not for you. But if you're into small, heart-fluttering moments that come as a slow-burn, definitely give this drama a watch!
The ending was done really nicely and I was surprised to see a lot of moments between the two leads. I thought they were going to progress and show more but I'm glad that they didn't. The MCs are very reserved, calm, and mature. Adding more would've made them seem very out of character. In the last few lines of the drama, there was a bit of reflection on the topic of love, which they never came to a definite conclusion. This kind of mirrors their relationship and its almost like they opened the ending so that there was a tiny consideration of the possibility of romance between the two. The slow burn was done impeccably. The actors executed it so well you could basically see the progression of their bond together- starting with admiration, growing to mutual respect, and progressed to a deeper understanding of each other.
The only reason why I'm giving this drama only an 8.5 is because I'm probably never watching it again lol. This drama isn't exactly what I gravitate towards (as I'm a big romance enjoyer) but I chose it since I was looking for a new drama to binge. The 8.5 is really just a personal bias (I apologize). I'd probably rewatch short scenes from the drama but I wouldn't take 12 hours of my time to watch it again- just my opinion!!
I still really enjoyed watching it and I would say they nailed law theme and the slow burn. (maybe if i'm feeling like it, i'll come and give it a higher rating lol)
Jung Chae Yeon is an amazing (and pretty) actress!!
