There’s an aura surrounding this show that is emotionally very attractive, and all credit has to be given to Park Eun Bin for creating it so convincingly. But once you get beneath that, the show itself is nothing particularly special. It is a procedural law show that examines quirky cases over the course of one or two episodes in a particularly cerebral way and there is nothing new about it.

To be honest, by the end of the series the shine had worn off for me. The supporting cast had fairly bland characters and the rivalry between the two law firms did not have any teeth with the result that there was very little tension created other than how Attorney Woo was going to win the case this time.

The romance really didn’t work for me at all and I couldn’t see why those two particular characters would be together and what the connection was between them. Joon Ho’s explanation, in the final episode, of the nature of his feelings did fit, but to be honest I felt such a basis for a relationship was pretty off. I think a totally different type of man would have been a better fit for Young Woo, one who could connect with her intellectually rather than emotionally.

One thing the show did very convincingly was to showcase the different responses to autism and illustrate effective methods of communication. It was a bit self-consciously“worthy” at times, but it definitely fulfilled its educational remit.

Park Eun Bin’s performance was outstanding. She managed to reveal so much through her facial expressions and body movements and if nothing else it is worth watching a few episodes of the show for her performance. However, I won’t be watching the sequel, there is not enough there to entice me.

What my rating means: 7+ A watchable drama, but nothing exceptional. Good enough to qualify for the race, but finished with the pack. The sort of thing that promises more than it delivers.
