The story, it was really great. The plot is so interesting. There was so much happening in this drama, it was just right, not a slow-paced nor fast-paced drama. I'm looking for more dramas like this one, so if you know a few, please recommend some for me. Thank you!
The actors are really good. My first drama of Ji Chang Wook and oh my goodness! He is super cool. We all need a man like him. He is so natural and indeed a perfection! The chemistry with Nam Ji Hyun is just great but I had to admit, Ji Hyun's acting sometimes gets too cute and it makes me cringe but no I loved her acting in this so much and I'm planning to watch Shopping King Louis and I hope I will not be disappointed.
The music, uhm.. I didn't get a chance to pay attention to the soundtracks because I'm really immersed by their acting so...
The rewatch value would be 9 and I will definitely watch this again if I have a chance!
If you like Romance, Thriller and Law, this is just for you!

i'd been holding back from watching this for a while because from the description, it sounded like it would be an office drama and that 90% of it would be based on court and law jargon, but it really wasn't! i was pleasantly surprised and irresponsibly neglected some of my own obligations to blast through these 20 episodes.
i thought the characters were well-written and well-executed. ji changwook is ji changwook but nam jihyun (i think she's my fave actress atm!) and dongha really took the cake! i really enjoyed watching their performance. jihyun has a really great range and her acting was believable. dongha did an INCREDIBLE job portraying the villain and i'm really curious to see him in other roles.
the romance was a huge part of the story and that was ok! i felt that their relationship was written very well and most importantly, both adults were honest with themselves and each other, and also upfront if any issues cropped up. i am done with "i hurt you in order to not hurt you" and the denial and pining that is a systemic trope in kdrama. here, both jiwook and bonghee were really, really mature and great characters.
of course there are always aspects that could've seen improvement, but weighing up the things that had potential to be better vs the drama that was presented to us? i'm pretty damn happy!

Lowkey Gave me Whiplash...
It took me 2 tries to watch this show because I'm not a fan of thriller and I got scared the 1st time lol. A part of me wishes I just stuck through it the 1st time because I probably would have liked it more earlier on in my Kdrama journey (a year ago vs now)...Story- The plot was dragged out for too long (didn't reveal the villain orgin story until like ep 37, main couple is involved with major drama trope for a while, etc.). The show got uninteresting during the 2nd half, especially at the 30 ep mark till the end. There was random situations that happened that didn't really add to the story and overall just a lot of filler. I think it should have been a 32 ep drama instead. I still enjoyed the essence of the drama but I wish it didn't go in a constant circle.
-I low-key had mental whiplash with this drama... 1 moment everything was going decent and then something happens and sometimes in weird spots (like their first night together). Overall, the timing was weird sometimes lol
-The main couple was also cute but a lot of their appeal disappeared halfway through with all of the tropes surrounding their relationship. Noh Ji Wook was a really appealing boyfriend though :)
Acting/Cast- I really enjoyed this cast for the most part! This is my 2nd JCW drama and I really liked him in this. I didn't enjoy NJH's character much... she just didn't bring much personality wise to me. I almost think NJH acting itself was a part of the problem but this is the 1st drama I've watched her in so I won't judge her completely on this role. Everyone else was good and made the story a bit more enjoyable, especially in the later parts!
Music- The OST is good!! A lot of cute and endearing songs :) My favorite is "How Do I Say It" by O.When <3
Rewatch Value- I don't rewatch shows but if I did I wouldn't sit through "Suspicious Partner" again. Maybe I would watch some funny or sweet moment clips
Overall this isn't a bad show, just not my favorite. It got draggy for me. I think this makes a great beginner drama though! If you're a fan of any of the actors I do suggest you try it out!
Happy Watching :)

This is one of the koreanovelas I have seen that I didn’t get irritated as I watch it. Like most, it’s one of those rich-guy-poor-girl story but what I like about this is that the girl character is not completely helpless (yey girlpower!) There is good flow of how the story is being unfold (I don’t have my usual “WTF how did that happen?” moment) and villains motive at the end of the series is not totally what I expect. I get that the villain was exposed early but it’s his reason for doing such things is what I am interested of.
I don’t really like on how they shot the fighting scenes, like there is a mirror effect or something. Doing it once is okay but doing it in most of the time gives me the impression that the acting is not good enough that’s why they’re using some kind of an effect.

And while I like both of the lead actors and think they did a fine job in this drama, the chemistry wasn't as good as I was expecting. It wasn't bad chemistry, I just know what it looks like when they have great chemistry with other actors so it was a bit of a let down.

Best Male Lead Ever!
Honestly I loveeeeeee the male lead,I watched this drama for like 100 times just because of him,I loveeddd his role (like in very other drama?).To me personally this is one of the best dramas ever,but this is only my opinion.Idk but do you know the feeling when you just love someone sooooo much and like you just wanna see him so you don‘t really care abot other things happening?Well yeah that was happening to me in this drama ?.I also liked the famale lead,she was funny,but she wasn’t the reason why I came every time back to watch this drama ,it was HIM!

For the most part, the show was pretty good. But I think the plot got lost somewhere in the middle. Great potential was just never fully realized, and I think this could have done with maybe a few more episodes.
But this drama did have some great kiss scenes, so there is that.

This is an enjoyable show to watch
I watched this a while back. It was a very good show, excellent chemistry between the leads. I just went back and watched it again and I had to lower my rating. She was a MESS! Stalker-like behavior, needy, doormat. He, however, was wonderful. I did enjoy the storyline, and there were a lot of parts that I enjoyed a lot. I liked the work aspect of the story a lot more than I thought I would, since I'm usually all about the romance, and there were some VERY good scenes of them together, but again, my lowered rating is basically because of the behaviors of the FL - so, as an actress, she did a great job. All of the actors were terrific.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Does anybody know this Song???
Is there somebody who knows the sad Song in the Backround?Its instrumental /piano I guess.
the First time, its on the Scene: when the Killer is hearing his music, walk through a Park and remember a girl which walking by. The second Time is, when the ?Shaman? lay in Hospital (Warning! Spoiler> and died).
its such a beautiful Song but I cant find them. It is NOT a Part of the official OST. (Ive heard every Song which Youtube found from Suspicious Partner it isnt there!)
Shazam could not find it.
Its similar to Songs from Thomas Newman ("Road to Perdition" or something like that)
Im very desperate.

Slight spoiler warnings.
This was a really interesting k-drama to watch.While I am a big fan of the storyline including lawyers and prosecutors and just overall getting insight on how the whole legal system works in Korea, I think the storyline was unnecessarily drawn out. The whole drama could’ve probably been concluded in 16 one hour episodes instead of 40 30 minute ones.
Without giving away the identity of the killer, I have to say this drama does an excellent job of making you sympathize with the character. I haven’t been this invested in a bad guy in soo long it was really refreshing.
Overall I would give this a relatively high rating however the length and considering the fact that the main lead sometimes got on my nerves lol, the overall rating is lowered a bit.
I wouldn’t rewatch but I would recommend it to those looking for a series including legal elements.

But I found the pace of the story was quite slow.. I like the story line, but 40 episodes are too much.
I think the plot will be more interesting if they shorten the lenght of the episodes.. I feel like some scenes were made just to prolong the story..
1. I like the story (if only it's shorten)
2. Good Acting perform by all leads involve (including the villian, he was really good)
I like mystery kind of drama, but I might not rewatch this drama again because it's too long. I fast forward some episodes while watching it.

Bello
Drama molto carino, con una trama avvincente anche se sul finale si dilunga un po' troppo. Ji Chang Wook è sempre perfetto e un drama con lui come protagonista va sempre guardato. Mi sono piaciuti molto tutti i personaggi che insieme hanno dato vita ad un drama completo, in cui i vari generi si amalgamano alla perfezione.Una cosa che mi ha dato particolarmente fastidio è la scelta del poster. Per un legal crime in cui i protagonisti devono affrontare un serial killer, non avrei mai scelto una locandina così da commedia. È vero c’è la parte romantica ma è amalgamata bene alla storia e quindi avrei scelto un altro tipo di poster.
