this was a 6, the last episodes made it a 3
I was about to rate this drama a 6, just because of some enjoyable moments but the episode 33 made me change my mind.
This drama is a roller coaster... And not in a good way.
You know the plot: young lawyer starts working in a law firm, ends up in a forced coliving situation with her boss and falls in love.
We know the gist, nothing new, but when watching Rom coms we know what we are getting into. So, no problem on that side.
The problem in this show is the inconsistency and frankly boredom.
The first 7 episodes are a fever dreams. The FL is frankly annoying as hell and the ml is a psycho (in these first 7 episodes).
The 2 meet while renting the same apartment simultaneously. The Land Lord made a mistake and rented it twice. This girl establishes she is rightful attenent just "because" and is being very rude and unreasonable. I mean, the ml is the same spot as you..
The ml is a psycho. He can only think in terms of the "law". Citing law article for every minute matters and always talking as he has no soul.
Fortunately is gets better on this aspect, but worse on others.
The FL is supposed to be a fiercefull lawyer full of principles etc, meanwhile she is unable to do any work basically. At first. Her boss is constantly saving her ass and I get it, she is a newbie. After a while she solves cases because someone "randomly" says stuff and a bulb lights up in her head.
Her clients get constantly mistreated and she just stands there saying nothing. I wanted to slap her son many times.
The male lead on the other hand constantly talks about not mixing private and professional lives while mingling in his subordinate's live.
Threatening her to retain her bonuses if she doesn't do as he sees fit.
In one episodes, the FL leads is courted by a friends and the ml just invites himself over not once but twice and the only thing she can do is sit there spacing out...
Where is her combative side supposed to be?
After episode 7, the show becomes a normal rom com. We see them getting closer, talking about cases and it is entertaining.
At the 3/4 marks when they start dating the show just becomes so boring.
Please. We had enough of good looking 30 years old who never had a love story.
Good aspect: the FL collegues. Even though they don't have a story line of their own they are funny, supporting and frankly pleasent to watch.
Ep 27. Let's start fast forwarding.... Boring scenes of them being a couple and saying ultra sweet lame stuff....
Man this last 10 episode are a struggle. I agree with other reviewers about the fact that the characters switched personality. The FL lead was at first bubbly and the ml was cold, distant. Now she looks chronicly depressed and he looks like a happy puppy.
Ep 33. The ml gets on my nerves. This guy preached fairness, professionalism all along but keeps getting into his fiance's matters. She is having lunch with her new collegues trying to build a new path for her, and what does he do?
He comes unannounced, interrupts her, and starts marking "his " territory.
And she barely says anything.
Man I dislike them strongly....
Ep 34v She finally realized he is bossing her around all the time.. wow girl... Weren't you supposed such a smart ass?
Ep 36. they should have broken up. both have toxic behaviors towards each other.
frankly the last episodes were depressing to watch. the FL wasn't a stellar performer in the first place, but the last episodes really should she has no range.
as boring as it can get
Stay away from this drama. There is nothing so good here to be worth this much time.
