Tang Yingying is an accomplished senior lawyer in Shenzhen’s Chen Law Firm owned by her mentor cum father figure, while Kang Jun is recently hired Director that previously faced off with Tang Yingying in court. They started off on the wrong foot, with Tang Yingying having a certain dislike of him, frequently and subtly opposing her new boss in front and behind others. As they solved cases and headbutts each other profesionnally, they found that they were developing feelings for each other, just as Kang Jun about to leave the firm and accept another offer in his hometown Beijing.


This is my third show of Xin Zhilei. She is actually the reason I watched this and her performance definitely did not disappoint. She is ever so formidable as a tough-to-crack lawyer with solid conviction and belief on seeking for the truth. Her pairing with one playing Kang Jun is okay, as theyre both portraying a mature relationship. Although it’s because of this seemingly professional front that made the romance between them seem bland and lacks depth. Tang Yingying is more insteresting as the tough lawyer than a lovestruck woman.

I love their cases, each one able to invoke the emotion and relates to the ups and downs of the common people. Tang Yingying’s emotional burden for her father’s abandonment of her family that led to her mom’s death was written with significant growth that doesnt disappoint. I really liked how her relationship with her half sister progressed despite FL’s reluctance at first. I think theyre a great duo because Jiang Xiaoying (the sister) is as relentless and tough as the half elder sister that she used to hate but end up idolize in the middle of the show.

The only thing that seem to be different of this series than most legal-themed dramas that I’ve seen is there was no major case/grudge that usually becomes the main drive of the story amid the small easily solved cases.
