Interesting Premise but the need for a sequel lets it down.
Where do I begin?
I started this show due to a reel. Admittedly I was also curious because I have watched different dramas of the Female Leads.
It started off well enough, had a cheating subplot that added some character struggle and ethical dilemma(more on this, the show had another brilliant dilemma that they washed under the rug).
But as another viewer pointed out, the "girl boss" drama was only girl boss for 33% of the time. The first two and the last two episodes. The middle? Had the Female leads run around in circles only saved by the Cop husband, the hacker guy, or the antihero fiancé. I was quite disappointed with it honestly. But minor issue I thought at the time.
Up until the major ethical dilemma arises, around episode 10, the story was great. It had issues, emotional struggle, the whole shebang associated with lawyer dramas. Episode 11 and 12 was when the story went for a toss. Maybe they wanted to resolve the ethical dilemma; maybe they wanted another season; maybe they realised that the drama was centred around women actually coming out on top. Whatever be the case, the ending was rushed. The minor ethical dilemma glossed over. Characters killed offscreen. Episode 12 made me skip several times because of how I disliked how it handled complex issues.
The actors were great, the visuals really nice, and pacing was decent too.
Honestly, there's several stuff in the drama that begs further questioning. Quite a bit of issues that we as a society need to think off. Regardless this drama is a one time watch. Hopefully any further seasons fixes how the first one ended.
