What is the right decision? What makes a GOOD person? These are questions that are fundamental to this story.
Two Brothers, identical twins. One praised, the other punished for not being as great as his perfect brother. One ends up a judge, the other a thug with repeated times in prison. When the judge brother goes missing, the thug brother stumbles into his life and sees an opportunity to snag some cash while pretending to be a judge...
The result is hilarious in places as he stumbles his way around and some how manages to convince everyone he's his brother (let's not think too hard about how he manages to get all the key aspects of being a judge about right - and assume it's because he's been in court himself a few times :) ).
Along the way he becomes attached to his new trainee, whom he heaps on lots of work to effectively cover up his lacking skills and knowledge.
I found it a very entertaining light weight drama to watch, with some very touching and heart warming moments especially towards the end - the tone definitely shifts from funnier at the start towards the romance and tears at the end.
The ending felt a BIT cut short but I didn't feel cheated, it was an ending, it made sense, it didn't *need* to go further but didn't allow you fully take in the ending before it froze for the credits.
Acting was great, I thought the female lead was great to watch, a different character to many shows but fitting for a legal professional I think. The male lead was good at portraying the two different characters, though the Kang Ho (thug) character was much more of a caricature than a character being completely over the top - but it added some fun to the character I think.
Most of the story is going to be following the thug brother and the female lead - while the judge brother is definitely there, he definitely plays a bit part, and again while the second female lead is definitely there - again, definitely much more secondary than some shows. As a secondary couple they barely make any impression, but that's ok, they weren't who the story was about after all.
The story with the mother and how she realises her contribution to the upbringing of the brothers was good and I am glad they pushed on with that aspect of the story rather than just focusing on the main thug-brother elements exclusively.
There is some irony that the thug-brother is probably actually a better person than the judge-brother, once again making you ask the question - what makes a good person?
