a swing and an, unfortunate, but probably well intentioned miss.

the premise seems to have been "good doctor, but with lawyers." and it did not go well.

they never seemed to quite get into a good rhythm with the problem of the week structure. the k-drama penchant for caring more about the audience's emotional reaction than story telling is on full display, inflicting a fatal wound to a narrative already beleaguered by bad choices. with every case and every client they couldn't stop themselves falling into tropes. They tried to make their main stream, culturally accepted points of view seem progressive, radical even, but with all the nuance, craft and situational awareness of an 80's after school special.

and that's before i even mention the irresponsible and lazy depiction of autism.

if you can over look some "oof" the romance is cute. The acting is good and the characters who get development are interesting, sometimes even funny.
