Surprising take on cases
The show follows a top-tier college graduate who joins a prestigious law firm as an intern under a cold, demanding boss. Over time, she gains maturity and experience through the cases she handles.
The first 4 episodes set the tone well, with each focusing on a new case. Episodes 3 and 4 stand out as the peak of the series—the writing and tension are at their strongest there. Unfortunately, the later cases never quite reach the same level. The mentor–mentee relationship between the ML and FL starts off rocky but gradually evolves into mutual respect and friendship. Their chemistry is natural and well-written, but the last two episodes derail things with an unnecessary “will-they-or-won’t-they” romantic subplot, which feels like a wasted opportunity.
On the case side, the writers deserve credit for attempting to explore complex legal issues and the necessity of law in society. However, they often leave resolutions feeling incomplete, as if they couldn’t commit to bold closures or feared pushing boundaries that might upset local authorities. The corruption arcs and “villain among villains” twists are particularly underwhelming—I found myself skipping through those parts.
Overall, I enjoyed the show more than I expected, especially going in with zero expectations. It’s a fun one-time watch for anyone seeking a semi-serious legal drama. Just don’t expect deep courtroom realism or airtight lawyer logic—the show leans more on character dynamics than legal accuracy.
