Romance - Yes, Slice of Life - Yes, Law - No

Story:
Initially it was an interesting story about a pro-bono lawyer trying to make legal services accessible to all, but the theme was lost in the middle and changed to a personal vendetta which was expected, but it eventually led to anti climatic ending which was totally disappointing.
My point being - focus on one thing and do it correctly. I just felt like they tried to make it fluffy as well as serious and did not deliver anything properly. To not give away any spoilers, the main antagonist character had no depth. Intially he was accused for something and by the end it was about something else. I loved his acting and there was so much they could have done. But his ending was just comic.
The romance was good. The actors had good chemistry and it was consensual and respectful (way too respectful at times). But I felt like they had so many side characters but they didn't have enough screen time. They were totally supporting the main characters and did not have any story line of their own, which I found disappointing as I was looking forward to their back story.
Acting :
LSG's acting needs no validation. The FL was good but I didn't like her "crying". It didn't invoke any emotions.
Conclusion:
Despite my rant, it was a decent one time watch. There was one crime in the start of the series that I will never forgive the writers for but overall it was a good watch. Episodes 1-12 were entertaining but the rest were fillers. I wished they used the last few episodes to focus on side characters. The romance was fluffy with no cliche drama. It has it own drama but not the cliche tropes.
Reason to watch it : LSG (who never ages) and non-angsty fluffy romance.
Reason to not watch it : if you're looking for a law drama, this ain't it.
