This drama starts as a drama that people like me would expect... A DIFFERENT KIND OF DRAMA, one that ends with the stereotypes of what a Kdrama is, while not losing that korean charm that is the one that hooks most of us... Well im PRETTY dissapointed. Like most dramas it started EPICLY, i even imagined the day it finally ended and I came here to give it the 10, that by that time, i thought it deserved. It had great comedy, amazing thrill and suspense, and the character portrayal was such i could not pick a favorite. But, it all died mid through. The same pattern of your every day kdrama was adopted, the same melodramatic stuff, and I could start telling what would happened 2 to 3 episodes in advance... It had a glorious beginning, it was fair midway and TOTALLY crashed in the end. If you love your typical Kdrama, you will LOVE this, if you look for something refreshing and different, you will be satisfied for a short while only to be disappointed later on.
The cast was great, they portrayed their roles VERY well! no complains there. I didnt sympathize much with Park So Haa midway in the drama but, it was ok (he reminded me a lot of his character in secret garden; but im used to characters being made for actors and not the actors actually portraying the characters) I particularly liked the antagonist. The way he had that "good guy/bad guy" switch was EPIC! (i would say more but im afraid I would be a spoiler)
The music too was great! Not that it had a wide variety of songs, I guess thats the reason I liked it. But the songs that did play were perfect for setting the mood.
The drama has its redeeming qualities, but if i had known it would have been more cheesy everyday kdrama and less trial lawyer/judge/prosecutor/defendant and accused action, I prob wouldnt have even started it. Its sad that for Kdramas to be a hit they have to be so typical and predictable. Anyways~ I give it an overall 6, cause it did have some awesome moments, if i kept thinking about how disappointed i was with it it would get a 3 or so xD BUT im trying not to dwell on that and remember instead the fun and thrilling moments.
