I second that. I didn't have the slightest interest in this drama before, but now I'm reconsidering :)

Have you watched Legal High? Granted, it's Japanese, it's heavier on comedy (romance is practically non-existent) and courtroom strategies (not investigation), but it does have a bunch of lawyers in it ;)

Watching the first season will give you an understanding about the protagonist's character, why he acts like he does and so on. But you don't necessarily need to watch the 1st season to "get" Peter no Souretsu, I think.

Err, I thought Bul Ja is Chinese? But anyway, thanks for writing the review :)

There are people who give "10" to dramas they're going to watch and then reduce the score accordingly after they've watched the show. I know, it's weird, and it skews the overall rating :(

Superb review for a superb drama. Thank you so much for writing this. BTW, agree with you on Assistant Manager Kim. You think you can't like him more, and then you see the assistant managers from other teams, and you realize just how amazing he is as a superior.

I like Okada Junichi and I've tried watching this, but it didn't appeal to me at that time. I think part of the problem was, I jumped into this right after finishing Yae no Sakura, which I love, and is so different stylistically from Gunshi Kanbei. Reading your review has convinced me to give the drama another day in the near future, though, so thanks :)

Some people at D-Addicts have said that they're going to sub it, so let's just wait patiently

NHK consistently produces high-quality dramas. Sadly, not many of them are picked up by fansubbers. This drama does sound interesting, but I think I'm going to wait until it's finished and fansubbed completely.

I actually love the over-the-top humor :D. I can see some people being put off by it, though.

About the scene at the beginning . . . you and me both--I don't understand it either. Like you, I've quite enjoyed the drama. But it did feel rather disjointed at times.

It really depends on your personal interest. This drama's main focus is the political conflict in Joseon after the Chinese Empire--their closest neighbor--got taken over by the Manchus. Everything else--even Park Dal Hyang's character development and the romance--revolved around that issue. If action isn't your thing, and the historical details of that particular era in Joseon Dynasty fail to peak your interest, I can understand why you'd be bored with the drama :)

Wow, lots of interesting J-drama this season, those from WOWOW in particular. Too bad fansubbers rarely pick up those and shorter, 5-episodes miniseries from NHK--which are often good--for their projects. Finger cross, though. Thanks for writing the article, by the way.

Natsume Soseki's My Individualism (http://www.tuttlepublishing.com/books-by-country/my-individualism-and-the-philosophical-foundations-of-literature)

One of the best-written Korean dramas I've ever watched. It took a while for me to "get" this drama and during the first episodes, there were times when I considered dropping it. I'm glad I stick with it.

Agree with what most seems to be saying--this drama is just so cute! The lead, the supporting characters, the family dynamics . . . . Don't expect biting realism, but if you're looking for a feel-good drama, and can get over the fact that one of the couple is a minor and the other is a legal adult, this might be the drama you're looking for.

It's now available on gooddrama dot net under the title "Thread of Lies"

Try doramax264, maybe they have it.

Try doramax264[dot]com or d-addicts. You need to download the files instead of streaming them, though.
