I decided to watch this drama because one of the protagonists is Joo Ji Hoon, whom I got to know and love as an actor in "Kingdom". The plot being quite different from what I usually go for in a drama, I wasn't expecting too much. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by how hooked I got on the show and how I came to value different elements of it from those I usually do in other dramas.
The story follows the two main characters, Yoon Hee Jae and Jung Geum Ja, who are lawyers striving to make a name for themeselves in a very competitive field of work, each having different backgrounds, ethics and aspirations.
What I loved most about this drama is its characters. Each and every one was a complete, distinctive persona and there was also natural and well-paced character development as the story progressed. After completing all episodes, I can definitely say that the director and the screenwriter wanted to make a drama that features strong, independent women with realistic behaviour and that is something I have to respect, really. There is no unnecessary drama, no women-pitting-against-women-for-no-logical-reason plot additions and nearly all the female characters are just as you would see them in the real world: striving for personal and professional success, while not being slaves to their feelings.
What was also incredibly fun to watch was the interactions between the two main characters, Yoon Hee Jae and Jung Geum Ja. Through this drama, you get to see what happens when two strong, competitive and self-centric personalities enter each others' worlds. It is mostly chaos, but the underlying passionate attraction between them makes for a very interesting relationship. The actors had amazing chemistry, but that is to be expected since they are both renowned and experienced professionals.
I have to also give a shout-out to the OST which was incredible. Giriboy's "Hyena" is now one of the most replayed songs in my playlist. The drama featured many tracks that are different from the classic drama ballads that you usually get, which was a refreshing change.
All in all, this was a very fun drama to watch, quite different from those I have watched lately, and one of the few out there that features female roles worthy of respect and admiration. I definitely recommend it!
