❄️Non-spoiler review!❄️ My Rating: B +
"Cry, blame yourself for a short period of time and in return, don't forget for a long time"
From my favorite to my least favorite aspects of this drama:
The whole prosecutor story line
I have to say this is what I enjoyed the most and what got me at the edge of my seat! Watching how the cases evolved was really interesting, how the law worked and the importance of each member in the law-team, I think Lee Jong Suk did an awesome work portraying his character in this line of the story, he was hilarious but serious when he had to and even though he had his flaws as a persecutor he was a role model for the other characters in his team, speaking of which... I HATED Lee Yoo-bum!! Lee Sang did a perfect job as a villain because I never hated a character so easily before! It was nice to see how the law can be twisted, how injustices are made if you find the right person and have enough money but as they say, the truth always comes out at the end...
Dreams
Dreaming of the future and having to make a choice between changing it or not is something I never watched before, and about other's people future? Even more interesting, specially in the way it worked in this drama, it's always refreshing to watch something unique and new
Hyung
Everytime our male protagonist was with his little borther was epic and never failed to make me laugh, they could be borthers in real life! Their performances were on point
Grieving
The message of this drama stuck with me, as human beings we tend to look for someone to blame when we lose a loved one, and when we can't find that someone we blame ourselves, "Cry, blame yourself for a short period of time and in return, don't forget for a long time"
Investigator-Prosecutor
Kim Won-Hae plays the role of an investigator in this drama and omg he did not dessapoint, I loved him in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and at this point I think this man can play pretty much anything and would do an amazing job, really enjoyed his relationship with our male protagonist
Past story line
THE KIDS! What an amazing performance! I often found myself wanting more from the past story line, to a point that I just wanted to watch them grow and have their own drama, Nam Da-Reum who plays our male protagonist as a kid reminded me of Jungkook sometimes haha I don't know why but he's so cute!
Friendship
Jung Jae-Chan, Nam Hong-Joo and Woo-Tak friendship was really sweet, I enjoyed their time together and how no matter what they really cared and trusted in each other
Romance
So I guess you're wondering, why is the romance in the last place!? To be honest, and this is a personal opinion, I didn't feel chemistry between our two main protagonists in this whole drama, it was the weakest element in this story and if you're looking for a romantic drama to watch I have better recommendations! and don't get me wrong they're both great actors but I just simply dind't buy their romance which really dissaponted me because I'm all about the romance when it comes to K-dramas nonetheless this story as a whole was beautiful and brought me to tears a couple of times so if you're looking for an unique law-drama with a twist this one is for you!
