I like how I found every single character interesting right from the start. It might help that I’ve seen most of the secondary characters in other dramas. I like a plot that focuses on little missions throughout the drama. It keeps it interesting and there’s something always happening. Their cases are not very predictable, there’s a lot of rabbit trails, so it makes for a pretty good detective story. The later episodes get a bit laden down with roundabout prosecutor politics. This drama kind of has a weird feeling. This drama makes the profession of prosecuting cool. Things move fast in the first episode. You can see frenemies and alliances form. The pacing just slices through the usual of Kdramas. It’s not drawn out. By the end of the first episode, the two leads are already extending civility to each other. I like that the team learns to work functionally together pretty quick. One of the things I really liked were how the team was so nice to kids. Both main characters have their limits to respecting authority. They’re quite audacious actually and I like it for the change. The main leads have an interesting dynamic of all being invested in their cases even when they’re not getting along. They don’t want to miss out. The personal reveals are really satisfying. Those last episodes are SO GOOD for the unraveling of the plot and the emotion behind it. Dong Chi “Were you fooling me then? Because I wasn’t playing with you.” Choi Jin Hyuk is my bias. So I feel like I can’t say much about his role. I’m always going to be on his side. He plays his characters so coolly. His facial expressions are so awesome. I just like the way he portrays Dong Chi and makes use of the blank face just as well as he does the more emotional ones. I think his character is fun. Yeol Moo shoots him down and he just gets right back up. I also find him to be really sharp and quick on his feet. He starts off with the usual meanness of a Kdrama hero, at least he’s honest though. He does flirt with her, which is a relief, instead of just taking his frustration out on her. He also lets her fight her own battles and doesn’t always have to rescue her. I just really felt like he was a refreshingly direct kind of guy who’s honest when he wants to be nice and doesn’t play games. I like that Dong Chi doesn’t steal Yeol Moo’s thunder. I like that he tries to include her in the work. He’s quite level-headed with her after he gets over his initial hurt. In a way, he’s not selfish at all. He’s thinking about her welfare most of the time. It can definitely be a little strong-handed, but at least he’s not a jackass. Dong Chi is the senior prosecutor and the first born of the office if you like. He knows what the chief prosecutor means and doesn’t mean and he knows how much to push. Romance I like the way it developed. How much Yeol Moo despised Dong Chi, and how she came to respect him, trust him, and appreciate him. Dong Chi has always liked Yeol Moo so there wasn’t such a progression. It was almost like he was just biding his time. His funny way of flirting is pretty cute. And he’s so easy going with his pursuit of her. He plays the game well. Some of his advances is cringey due to his caveman approaches but other times he just is perfect. It’s not so much the push and pull but rather he is flexible to when he holds onto her and when he lets her go. If Yeol Moo wants to talk shop, he’ll talk shop. Yeol Moo and Dong Chi are interesting. And I liked how Dong Chi still has some of that overconsideration that is so appealing. “I’m sorry for making you make hard decisions.” Kang Soo “He has been nice ever since he was little.” Kang Soo is a really fabulous character. He is incredibly docile but he’s also very fierce when it comes to his loved ones. I enjoyed his complexity. Kang Soo is always helping people silently like his chivalry is a matter of course. I like how quick Kang Soo is to take care of Yeol Moo. One of the best scenes that really shows who Kang Soo is is in episode 7 after Kang Soo goes through a crisis and his grandmother is telling him to straighten his shoulders and his surrogate father is backing the grandmother up. Actually Kang Soo’s story is probably the most horrific out of everyone’s back stories. The way Kang Soo’s history relates to everyone around him is just crazy. I like that even though it must hurt he doesn’t hold it in to himself and he lets the people around him know. I liked how Yeol Moo and Kang Soo started getting grouped together as Dong Chi’s kids and Yeol Moo and Kang Soo would look at each other in their love and concern for Dong Chi with a silent, “We’re worried about Dong Chi.” expression. Kang Soo and Chan is always gold but there’s this beautiful scene where Chan isn’t even in screen but it’s just his hand comforting Kang Soo and it’s so touching. Actually, Kang Soo getting comforted is one of the best things in this show because people relate to him differently. I love that one of the keys to Yeol Moo’s mother was talking Kang Soo out of his sorrow and survivor guilt. Yeol Moo Yeol Moo is not your usual flighty, sensitive heroine. She can take a punch. Right from the start she’s got a tough personality. She gets the prize for calmest reaction to forced kiss. I liked her acting. Her grief has aged her. She has her reasons for everything she does. Similar to me, she is attracted to competency. She hears a lot about Dong Chi from the people closest to him. And that’s the main thing that helps shift her opinion of him. I like the way she puts her differences aside and is able to work with him pretty well. Sometimes she’s so hot-headed that it frustrates me she won’t listen to Dong Chi’s experience and advice and just takes everything he says as a personal attack or chalks it up to him just being evil and heartless. It’s a bit unusual to see the heroine compromise. Most of the time we see such a pure and righteous heroine who stalwartly never gives up on her values. But Yeol Moo goes against that. I like how Yeol Moo is in her relationship with Dong Chi when they decide to date. Gwang Mi I like this character. She’s smart and subtle and she works with the buffoon airheaded character but she’s the brains of the office. Random Thoughts I really like the feel of Episode 19 where the Chief and Dong Chi are battling but not really battling it out. I love how clever Dong Chi is at seeing through his chief. There’s a lot of cat and mouse. But there’s also a strong undercurrent of family and emotion and how unforgiveable it is to Dong Chi that because of his chief, he had to let his father see him in handcuffs. Even Yeol Moo comes out swinging in a rather impressive way using her brains and people’s perspective of her.
