Sra. Justiça (2018)

Sieigi No Se was a great example of a simple premise well-executed. Most especially it deomnstrated that a sweet story does not need romance. Watching this short Drama about a rookie prosecutor reminded me of two other Dramas: Miss Hamurabi, and Nagi No Oitona. Both were blemished by forced romantic elements that dragged them down. In Ms Hammurabi, the Drama had an excellent platonic friendship develop between the male and female lead for 3/4 of the show, then the writer lost their nerve and decided "we gotta have romance", and suddenly jammed in a romance that was forced, stiff, and false, and a huge disappointment.

Seigi No Se did not make that mistake. It stayed focused on its core story, the growth of the lead *as a prosecutor*. Any future romantic interest for her was merely hinted at, and they were interesting hints. But that's all they were, they never got in the way of a simple, sweet story about someone passionately fighting for justice as she grew into her job. A feel-good treat of the sort that Japan delivers often, Korea seldom.

Seigi no se was a pretty lighthearted despite being a law drama. It's quite enjoyable with easy to get through episodes and it no way found myself rushing through it to get it finished.

Despite every episode having it's own plot with a little connections formed with the main and recurring characters, there are a few things that kept getting repeated on and on that at one point it started to feel annoying. Specifically those included actions or quotes that some characters would say or do in every episode. Your mind will then be trained to predict when they are gonna happen.

Acting was nothing special but again the whole drama atmosphere made it possible to accept.

Being a law drama focusing mainly on prosecutors, it had a different feel to what other shows of the same genre I recently watched. Those usually take a more serious image and can make you both tense and excited, seigi no se on the other hand will keep you relaxed knowing everyone is surely getting a happy end.

Worth watching but don't expect much and you'll be ok.
