I Was Hooked From Start To The Very End!
I first saw Vincent Wong in Murder Diary (2021) and i loved his performance there,so i wanted to search his other work too.This is one of them.For sure he knows how to pick difficult and demanding roles.(From Dissociative Identity Disorder to a blind man role, he really did a great job)
Music:Intro/Outro both visuals and songs all beautiful.There is a song in the more intimate scenes with full English lyrics but i have no idea if is an OST or not.Anyhow all music scores was a pleasant hearing but nothing memorable.I guess i will forget all soon.
Production/Direction/Cinematography:Everything in a decent level,i wasn't excited about but for sure nothing was bad.
The flirting scenes between the Judge and..all the others are spicy but elegant.Cinematography in those scenes is too artistic.
Cast:I started this only for Vincent Wong as i never see any of the other actors.But i liked them.
Acting:Great acting from everyone.I never felt they just play a role.Acting was natural,they pulled me into their characters and that is always a plus to follow the story easily.I mean if actors perform poorly this always distract the viewer.
Characters:
The ML/Hope:Justice is Blind and so our Main Lead.Smart,witty,good looking,hot headed & stubborn ,carries alot of pain as his past wasn't easy.He seems to care only about money but don't let him fool you.Peel him like an onion and you will find he has a golden heart.He is a great friend too.He doesn't let people easily in,he keeps his distance and his circle is really small.But he is adorable,trustworthy and reliable.
The FL/Deanie:What to say about this char!For me she is the real heroine of the drama.A badass when it comes to protect her loved ones.A great friend.Her loyalty is treasure.Her devotion too.She falls and she keeps standing up.Always there beside our ML.Supporting and encouraging him without never asking for anything in return.She is the definition of Unconditionally Love(Romantic and any kind of Love too)And yes she is my favorite char among all!
The 2nd ML/Gogo:i don't understand why in the main page of the Drama they say his role is a supportive one.He is more than Main to me.
Again another excellent type of friend.He was wronged in the past,He is eager to take his revenge but with all the right means.
He is funny,sexy and playful.Almost the perfect boyfriend!!
The 2nd FL/Never the judge:Hot,beautiful,smart,brave.Another friend the team can rely on.Yes the virtue of Friendship is very strong in this Drama.And for a change here we have a female "Player"Her flirting skills are amazing as her dancing moves,lol.
She may seem "easy" but trust me she is far from it!
-Extra Credits to "Golden"Watch to find out who he/she is!!-
Story/plot.The strongest advantage of the drama is certainly the story.
This is not your typical Law Drama.And not only because the ML is a blind Lawyer,which in fact is something unique and interesting itself.but because the law cases/stories are amazing,engaging and touching.
Usually takes 2 episodes per case so the pace is good and doesn't feel boring at all.
Every story has to do with "minorities".Our Lawyer choose to defend the weak ones.Those who society sees them as outcasters.He is like a modern Robin Hood protecting and defending Human Rights.Touching,sweet and emotional stories about people the rest wrongly sees them as different.
Transgenders,Gays,Lesbians.Deaf or Blind.People with disabilities.But No.They are not different.We all are made of flesh and bones.We all have beating hearts and feelings.
And i loved that this Drama deals with such stories.It is so heartwarming.
It is not a melodrama though.The purpose here is not to feel sorry about "minorities".It has a realistic but yet a light touch as well.Any sad or harsh moments are balanced with equally sweet and funny moments.
Another thing that also outstands in the story is the dynamic and the bond of the team.Their friendship and their loyalty is priceless.They love and care for each other but they don't tell!They all pretend to be tough guys!But they are softies.The type of friends everyone wants and needs in Real Life.
In latter episodes stories/cases are mostly about our protagonists and their personal lives,which made the Drama even more exciting and interesting.
I have already fallen for this team and yes now iam so ready to start S2!
