Personally, I rarely watch this kind of drama as I grow bored rather easily if a drama is slow-moving or is melodrama-heavy. But that being said, I've been hearing good things about Just Between Lovers so I might give it a try at some point, it's just not my main priority on my plan to watch list - nice article, I enjoyed reading.
Really didn't expect the romance to progress so quickly (I'd originally pegged this for a slow burn with more focus on the crime/law plot but I love how fast-paced the drama is overall so I'm not complaining), but the kiss / implied bed scene was executed really well, especially with the impact of the emotional scenes leading up to that part.
I'm liking how they're not shying away from showing more realistic adult relationships too, which is something I can really appreciate in a drama, such as how they also showed more deep/passionate kisses and the lead-up to/afterglow of an implied bed scene in Suspicious Partner.
I haven't seen the original so I can't compare in that regard, especially as this seems like a pretty direct scene-for-scene adaptation, but I feel as though the initial couple of episodes were really strong, yet after that it felt pretty lacklustre and my interest just kinda faded around the episode 4 mark.
Plus, it faces stiff competition from other law dramas, such as the currently airing Lawless Lawyer which has a more unique premise from what I've seen so far.
A very wise decision by the production team. Drunk or not, there's absolutely no excuse in what he did, as the impact of his actions on the victim will stick with her for a very long time. I wish the best for her and hope that appropriate measures are made to prevent him from doing this again. It's a sad reminder that the #MeToo campaign still continues to fall on deaf ears...
Ye line all the way - I'm so done with the selfish jerk of a male lead getting the girl after using her and treating her so badly until he catches feelings for her himself. It's totally self-centred, and I believe Bo Young deserves someone who is consistent in treating her with respect instead of publicly humiliating her all the time. She's far too good for Min Ho.
It's been a while since I've anticipated a drama's release this much and the chemistry between the leads is already showing from official photos and clips... I'm beyond ready for this
I'd like to start this after my exams but the main thing putting me off is the love triangle, so I'm likely going to wait for it to finish airing first before I decide to watch.
I can even accept Sooji to be a good person but not Sejoo, absolutely and completely HATE him nowhe is bitchy…
Glad to see someone else agrees... I liked him up until last week's episodes and now he's too blinded by his puppy love and insistent defending of Soo Ji to care about anything else. Even Soo Ji seems to have sobered up and gained some kind of sense of consciousness about it this week, but Se Joo has never tried to see the other side of things or reached out to Shi Hyun at all until this week where it's basically too late, since he's already gone to spill to Tae Hee.
I feel as though they've left themselves with far too much to wrap up in the final 4 episodes for it to really tie together in a decent ending (but then again the messy writing hasn't been leaving me with too high hopes to begin with). I'm mainly still watching since I feel like I've gotten to far to just not finish it until the end to see how it does end.
This drama let the Shi Hyun fall quickly in love with Tae Hee. It is not persuaded. He seduced many innocent and…
Because she makes it clear from the start that she's not interested in him to begin with and rejects his initial advances unlike the girls he's previously seduced, so he sees that as a challenge that he's curious to pursue, so it sparks his interest.
