Demiromanticism, Slow Burn, and Unique Law Cases

I’ll start with a summary of what I’m about to write: this is nothing short of a good show.

Now the longer version…

I didn’t want to watch this show; I remembered when I started it, I was just lazily scrolling through Netflix looking for shows to watch and thinking “nahhh not this one” Then, I decided: “You know what? Let’s just see what it’s about…” And that was it!

First episode, second, third, I was hooked! I won’t say much to keep this spoiler free but it’s everything a 2025 legal kdrama should be.

I like how unconventional the legal cases were and the law office politics/dynamics.

Umm, okay for those who clicked because of the heading, no it’s not clickbait and this is what I mean.

Demiromanticism and slow burn romance are two thematic elements that stood out in this drama. Love how the romance between the side characters was carefully built and happened after years of knowing each other.

As a demiromantic person who can’t experience any form of love unless I’ve formed a strong emotional connection with the other person, I liked this about the drama!

If you love legal dramas, please do not sleep on this one!!!
