Beyond the interpretation of the law on emotional issues.

I loved every episode. It was very eloquent, and I thought it was well-written and well-crafted. I saw the intrigue surrounding each character throughout the story. I consider this one of those dramas that draws you in, surprises you, and ultimately makes you obsess.

It was enjoyable. They showed us interesting cases, and in a way, it felt refreshing. I wasn't bored. They emphasized that defense isn't just about defending, but also about a new way of seeing or interpreting what justice means. There are moments when you think you're guilty or innocent from a legal perspective, and when you look at it from a different angle, it's the opposite. Different ways to approach and resolve each case. Of course, in the end, it's the judges who decide, and their interpretation of the law shapes their final verdict.

Regarding Yuyin's villains and internal conflict, I found them somewhat bland.
The characters are wonderful, each with their own unique development and, of course, their own perspective on love and feelings.

I would have liked more episodes, but oh well, it is what it is. The quotes and messages conveyed were very comforting, very philosophical. The script was wonderful.

Although, personally, I would have loved to see some emotional development between the two main characters. A little more action, so to speak.

I loved the ending, an ambiguous outcome, and I find it refreshing. It didn't have the typical ending.

I actually watched it initially because of the potential romantic development between an older man and a younger woman, and that they would show some of that, but as I watched the episodes, I realized the series wouldn't focus on that. It would be more in-depth and analytical, as it turned out.

It would be great if there was a second season, but I think it probably won't happen. The ending was something like, "It ends here, period."

"Love is like a rainbow. You go from one color to another, but that doesn't mean the passion and love are over. It's just a new way of seeing this feeling." "Love begins with passion, then it becomes reality and ends in solidarity."
