Mixed Feelings

I think the story had great potential and the execution was impressive overall. However, the last two episodes didn’t quite live up to the expectations that the earlier episodes had built. The open ending left viewers with more questions than closure, and I’m not sure whether there will be a second season. The male lead truly carried the drama. The first eight episodes were well-paced and engaging, especially with the legal focus. But later, the storyline shifted heavily toward corruption and moved away from the legal cases. While I understand the intention behind that direction, I expected the other cases to continue running alongside the main plot.
It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s definitely a decent watch. I enjoyed following it weekly while it was airing. That said, I don’t think it has enough suspense or intensity to binge-watch in one sitting.
