This is one of the best dramas I’ve seen this year, although I do enjoy the mystery genre a lot. The writing was top-notch and I felt that the cast were really suited to their roles, from the smart-yet-cheeky Lee Hyun to the adult who experienced an emotional rollercoaster as a childhood. The story was written in such a way that I knew what some of the characters was wrong, both legally and morally, yet I could somewhat emphatise with how they were feeling.
From some of the reviews I’d read, it seemed that some people found the storyline slow to begin with and I tend to agree, although these first few episodes were really setting the scene for some really good storytelling from Episode 5 onwards. I found myself more and more drawn to the character of Attorney Jang, as well as the budding partnership between Lee Hyun and Cha Ji-an. The focus in the main characters is certainly there, but I found myself also interested in other side-stories such as the Chief Planning Officer / Hyun’s guardian and the relationship between Team Leader Kang and his father.
The music and soundtrack played was generally suitable to the scenes and the acting, but there wasn’t really a piece of music which was really memorable for me (then again, I’m not really a music person, it takes a really good song to stick in my head).
I probably wouldn’t rewatch this drama, I really enjoyed watching the storyline unfold and I think it just wouldn’t be as enjoyable the second time around. Also, I don't tend to rewatch many dramas so this low rewatch rating doesn't at all reflect how much I enjoyed it the first time round. For now, I’ll stick to watching cuts of the incredibly cute moments between the brothers!
