I honestly love Simok & Yeojin's relationship. Whether we call it platonic, professional, or even romantic - they by far exceed any two lovers I have seen on Korean television. Their teamwork really works, and it works because of the way they are. I have seen any two people so straightforward especially Hwang Simok. Han Yeojin does sway when Choi Bit influences her but she does realize her decision of supporting Choi Bit. I understand why so many fans this season were so not into the story based off of the pacing. I think the show took off after we see the main leads finding out on Seo Dong Jae's kidnapping. But before that case takes off and other lies and cases open up we see that ep 1-8 are the setting ground for the show. If you see the ratings for the last episode it means the show worked. The audience (us) we were convinced by Lee Seo Yoon's writing. I really liked this show but also felt disappointed at parts because of the complexity of certain things I didn't understand but the reason why I liked this season once more is because of LSY showing on why people do certain things. Her entire concept of this show "we cannot rule those want nothing" (btw I read this quote on this review from 2017 -https://4musingsblog.wordpress.com/2017/08/27/hwang-simok-the-man-who-cannot-be-bought-ep-1-16/ ) still reflects in her writing. Hwang Simok's character is still pretty much the same but it has changed for the better and he has become a much more mellowed person based off what he went through. He still believes in justice and he still wants to solve to know and have what is right. Han Yeo jin's character goes through a change I think we all could go through (in fact I went through when I worked with administration) - she kind of blocks all the noise she hears from the Intelligence Bureau & her slimy co-workers and tries to work respectfully still trying to follow her ideals. Choi Bit reminds me of a fearless so called feminist that must / might believe in that women are better than men and that is feminism (in reality we all do know that feminism is equal rights for women and men). Woo Tae Ha - I won't say he didn't surprise me in fact he from day one seemed like a weak character that is just pure evil and full of himself. It made me laugh when he tried to compare himself of LCJ even though LCJ was more of a planned out evil guy who tried evil ways to show the truth. However each actor has played themselves very beautifully and have accomplished what they needed to. I do want to mention Lee Yeon Jae being a spoiled brat to a scheming bitch - the Hanjo storyline might be a storyline again for season 3 (fingers crossed) but I do feel bad for her having no one on her side except for Secretary Park but she did love her husband in her own way.

I am really impressed on the background score and how much work was put into it for this show. I do believe I will watch this show again in a couple weeks or so just to understand the intentions of each character and on why they did certain things. Like I said before we already know the corruption within the prosecution & police force - we see it and hear it everyday in fact there is corruption at every corner and like how Han Yeo Jin - if she gets rid of one criminal, two more criminals will pop up - this is in fact true. The main idea behind this show I feel like was to show us the emotions, feelings, and attitudes of each character toward their life but also other peoples' life too. It is hard to care for others when we don't care for ourselves but it is even more harder to support the truth and be part of what is right. I will be totally waiting on season 3 so I can see my Hwang Simok smile again haha :)
