I appreciate that you recommend that. it makes me want to continue watching it now that you said it has similar character dynamics. however you may reconsider to inform what troubled him. I'm afraid it might be a spoiler.

I feel like the writer is currently building the momentum for when they finally failed the case miserably. at least that's what I anticipate and hopefully to happen later. I want to see the other side of their dynamics when they're at the bottom.

it's interesting reading different reviews with different perspectives. by focusing on the mental illness, it gives me a new understanding and a deeper look of the characters.

and your review gives me a little hope to publish my own review as well.

it's so fun reading your review. it reminds me I saw a comment, they said something like "If my love interest irl is as handsome as zhang linghe I'd chase him even to the corner of the earth." 😭😂 I see her chasing him not as an act of self disrespecting but as an act of bravery.

maybe because I didn't read the original source, that I was able to enjoy what the show offered. I did feel that it could be better if somethings could be elaborated. but it didn't bother me that much. I just started the novel a while ago. and reading it is a fun ride.

let me know again when you've posted the review.

I'm still struggling to write a review for OG 😂

we don't need to convince people to like it or not. I think despite everything, this show will eventually reach its own audiences. 💚

I love that they don't make their younger story as only a plot tool. but they also keep it as a part of their adulthood. it was like the characters were already grow up but the kids still lived inside of them.

it was really the epitome of a beautiful happy ending

I have a feeling the sfl will end up taking her case. she was kinda deep in thought about something for a little while.

Love Scout has the similar character dynamics.

I'm watching legend of the female general. I think sometime I saw you on the comment section over there too 🤭

that was nasty of him to do that. I was wondering how the opposite lawyer knew about it.

I think that would make a stronger argument. I don't understand korea law but from lee jinu's character, there seemed to be a chance to void her consent if she was not in the state to make a logical decision or something like that. and I agree with you to make the argument more solid they needed a measurement of her mental state back then. there wasn't a measurement of love but it would be possible with mental illness. love seemed like a lame excuse.

but the situation didn't look to be that way. from her statement she didn't have the capacity of making a good decision for herself not because she was mentally ill but because she was in love. and I think that was the narrative the girl could accept. I have a feeling she wouldn't want the love she cherished to be considered as a mental illness. I think that was the lawyers' struggle because she seemed to be fully aware of her situation and she admitted herself. in the end the fl just said helplessly "it's okay you did that because you loved him anyway."

and maybe they just needed an easier excuse to stand with their accusation.

exactly! on the other hand maybe it's better to left it like that. otherwise if they explain it any further, that would be like exposing the plot hole. because sometimes the details are kinda don't click.

like Miss Oh in Another Miss Oh Haeyoung?

don't worry...
the writer wanted us to think that she could have a possible love interest with him. but since they really wanted us to think that way, I'm sure that wasn't the case. I expected she'd say "samchooon". but apparently other users said she was his sister in law judging by the preview.

which one?

that might be an exaggerated expression but fl asked ml to help him when he was right about to go home. when she prepared the case for her sister's friend. she only had 1 weak to do that alone and she decided to ask his help. in ep 5.

and it was clearly from dark till morning.

yes I'm aware of that. but that doesn't explain on how he knew about her painting. did he come to the flea market himself? or did someone told him about it? the show didn't expose how he saw the painting and replicated it.

because what I understand from the show is that, he painted it himself but he stole the design from her. all the other paintings of hers have the similar colour signature and similar style, but do they have similar design as the one sold at the flea market? his painting and her painting don't look identical but they clearly look alike as they have the similar core design. that was how he could bring the case to the court.

I don't think he bought it from the flea market. because the girl and the fl never accused him of doing that either. fl only accused that he plagiarized the painting, not bought it from her work and claimed it as his. because from his explanation, he clearly also understood how to paint the same technique like the girl did. if he didn't paint it himself he wouldn't know how to explain it.

and if he really bought it at the flea market, fl would have an argument that the girl sold two paintings. but since from the beginning, the statement only argued about one original painting, not two.

she knew, they are under the same agency.

like in ep 6, the girl suffered the most in her relationship. and while my emotions side with her, unfortunately since she already gave her consent, her status in front of the law was weak. plus, there's a law to punish for false accusation and defamation but there's no law to punish for a broken heart. if things got escalated it could have a boomerang effect on her instead.

and when the lawyers insisted to find the hole on her consent, I felt like what they were doing was trying to use the law on something. and this doesn't always mean bad. when they told her to use the victim card, etc, you could tell from the look on her face that that even she wasn't sure that was what actually happened. it made me think of a bigger picture that they were trying to look for a cause that was debatable to even exist. it was basically a case hard to fight.

but just like what the ml said. the girl didn't pursue for a material and a physical compensation, but for an emotional compensation. although it was hard to charge him and to bring him down in the court, but through the mediation process, the law gave her the right to pour all of her struggles, to let her emotions out, to finally get heard and to have her own closure. it was finally her decision to let the past go. and it was like I finally saw the soft spot the law offered to humans for the first time.

the writing isn't perfect but it's neatly done and I like how it made me feel. following the cases, sometimes it clashed with my moral and my logic.

but that's the probably essence it's trying to portray. that the law isn't perfect and it sometimes doesn't go hand in hand with the moral. however the law is like the best craftsmanship that our civilization could form to protect our rights in the most desperate time. without judging they're right or wrong, all of the human beings have the right in front of the law.
