Thank you very much, @purple_kimchi, glad you enjoyed it! I also enjoyed Nah Moo's and Nak Won's characters and…
I get your point! That's probably why I was more anxious about Hyeon Moo and his future - I felt like his story could really take a dark turn, especially with the (false) hints that were dropped early on the series, and that's also why I was so happy with his "redemption"!
Fantastic article! CAHM stole my heart while it aired and revisiting that world through your article brought all the memories back! I have to say, I was aware of the metaphores, but I hadn't fully grasped their extent - especially your observations about the visuals. Kudos for your sense of perception and insight! I will also have to agree that Hyeon Moo was the most tragic character and the one we were probably rooting for the most, exactly because he wasn't as clean-cut as the other two. I have to say, though, that I found both Nah Moo and Nak Won to be equally compelling and admirable through their struggles. I think they also had their growth as characters. All in all, thank you for your analysis! Keep this kind of observations coming, please!
The age gap is, in fact, a crime itself.If a sexual relationship occurred between individuals of any gender who…
That's why statutory rape is a thing. How can a 14-year-old know what's right and wrong? The older party is supposed to know that and not coerce them into a "relationship". There can't be any agreement when a minor is involved.
I made the mistake of starting this while also having other ongoing dramas to watch, and now everything else feels like bland food - or stale bread - in comparison... *sighs*

@Bora What you and your friend failed to grasp is a very important concept of every fictional world, regardless the genre: it needs rules to operate. You can't apparate on Hogwarts ground; the eagles could NOT take the Ring to Mordor; when you see the exact same thing twice, there's a glitch in the Matrix; and so on. You can take each and every genre, even non-fiction, and when the creator doesn't provide a plausible explanation for a character's behaviour which has been building up in a certain way, it's still liable for negative feedback. Even fantasy isn't just a pure white canvas, much more when it's combined with scifi. That's exactly what the writer of this article was debating, the way I see it, not the possibility of AI feels.
Also, thank you for the crash course. While I must admit I don't speak Korean, I'm fluent in two other languages, and I imagine the concept of genre in literature and every other means of artistic expression is the same, more or less. Kudos to you, though!

It's not the concept of feelings that's being debated here, I think everybody knows that such a possibility is quite far ahead for androids. (Considering, however, that there is the concept of robot rights and robot ethics, the idea of robot sentiments isn't that alien.) The rules discussed are general, and are suppose to refer to the general behaviour of an AI. The fantasy series that you your self mentioned (Harry Potter and Narnia) have their own set of rules within their universe. At any rate, you sound pretty condescending, but you' re still entitled to your own opinion. Besides, we're all enjoying the show, even if we have different thoughts about it. Good day/night to you too, sweetpea!
Every viewer is entitled to their own opinion, as long as it's backed by facts and, preferrably, presented in a polite manner - and the writer of the article has done both. As for the content of the article, AYHT? is marketed as sci fi, not as a fantasy, and viewers who are interested in the genre and, in our case, well read in the matter, not only can, but actually should, provide feedback in that specific aspect.
Curious to see what you all think,Do you think Nam Sin (HUMAN) actually likes or is developing feelings for Kang…
Nah, he's just angry that she prefers NS3. For him, she's like a toy - one that he can't use to his benefit though, like he does with Ye Na. And since in his point of view she's another one that prefers the robot over him, he resents her more. Can't say I completely blame him, though. He's an ass, alright, but taking into account the circumstances he grew up under and also the current situation it's not an easy thing to process.
Kay, so, episode 14 was a rollercoaster. For some reason I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth, though. It seems like Oh Reum is gonna lose her job, and although we're not yet sure about that, I wonder about the kind of message that would leave. Is it that Oh Reum was actually inappropriate for this line of work, despite her growth during the whole series? Wouldn't that have the implication that she's weak, while that's not the case? Is it that fighting against the system won't really end well and the strong and rich will always have the upper hand? Or is it that she started a current of change that will continue flowing through the court even without her? I love the realism in this series, but... maybe I expected a bit more of an optimistic ending? I'm questioning my own self right now.
At any rate, I'm hoping both Oh Reum and Ba Reun keep their jobs, since I feel that a fresh look upon the law is needed. Then again, the series keeps making me doubting my beliefs, so I'm waiting impatiently for the conclusion.
Thank you for this article! I hope it gets more people interested into Miss Hammurabi, since I have the feeling it's kinda underrated among the other dramas of the season.
I think it's one of the most important dramas I've watched so far. It sheds light onto a variety of social issues, some of which aren't that prevalent on screen (like the position of women in a male-donimated work environment) and presents the cases with an emphasis on human characters and relationships, instead of just presenting the facts. The interactions between the judges also serve to show that they too are humans, struggling to tell right from wrong while also having their own stuff to work out. The romance, while in the background, shapes the judges' decisions - their own circumstances as well.
I also believe the actors have outdone themselves - both Go Ara and L shine through each and every episode, as well as the rest of the cast. I also love the fact that Go Ara is such a beautiful example of an independent woman, flawed but striving to become better every day and supporting her feministic values - along with her male counterparts, which is equally important!
