DAPPER JU JI HOON IS DAEBAKK!!!!
As you can tell from the headline I might be a little bit bias toward our ML here since he’s the reason I really started watching this. Been infatuated with him since 2006 ya know typical fan girl stuff ;)
Okay so first of all, I love how dapper JJH looks here! I mean it’s hard not to fall in love with him. He has the looks, the wits, the intelligence, and the personality (well this one is up for debate but you do you boo). What I really loved about him here is that despite the seriousness of the topics they discuss throughout the series he is still able to make us laugh. May it be thru his witty comments, his stern personality, or his random dances (love those!!! And his facial expressions too!!!!). Actually it’s not just him, all the cast here really did an outstanding performance and this drama deserved all the praises it got and maybe even more.
The only thing I think that was somewhat off in this drama is the love story. That’s the only reason I didn’t really give this one a perfect 10. I’m not sure if it’s the age gap or what, but something felt off. Even as when I was watching the ending, when both of our leads were standing in front of the building Jung Geum Ja wanted to buy and they started walking with their arms around each other’s shoulders, it looked like they were just BFFs and not lovers. And honestly, I prefer it that way. Personally, they look like brother and sister. I was actually rooting for Atty Yoon and Atty Boo to be together. They looked better as a couple for me tbh.
But this doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m not happy with our FL. In fact, it’s hard to imagine any other actress playing the role (excluding love line). Her character was a strong one. And I know initially this role was proposed to Song Hye Kyo but she declined (thank goodness). SHK is a great actress but I don’t think she can pull this character as much as KHS did.
Overall, it was a fun watch. Learned things along the way also that might be useful in life. Will definitely recommend this to someone who is looking for a witty legal drama that is not too far from reality.
