This was a drama I left on pause for several months, mostly because I tend to be an impatient watcher. The one warning I will give and also the reason why I didn't give it a 10 is due to the pacing of the show-- it progresses a bit slowly, which won't appeal to everyone. Even so, I highly encourage people to give it a chance! Here's why:
I love ensemble dramas, and this one did not disappoint. Like a true family, the merciless amount of teasing and making jabs does not go unseen. And like a true family, they also show their support for one another in ways that just make you internally "aww". I have no complaints whatsoever about the casting (Lee Sun Kyun kills it as the #1 petty king of the office), and I enjoyed seeing the dynamics play out. It makes you wish you worked with a team like them.
You know a show is funny when you actually find yourself laughing out loud at scenes- which I unexpectedly did, many, many times while watching it. Sometimes it's something absurdly funny, and other times it's simply the expressions on their faces that make it comedy gold. That being said, they do manage a nice balance of serious scenes as well reminiscent of Misaeng, though Diary of a Prosecutor is a bit lighter in tone.
I love shows that break the fourth wall! Bonus points for that as well.
Like others have mentioned, the show is more episodic and there isn't much of a continuous, in-depth plot. However, I think it's fitting given the subject. It manages to highlight and show the day-to-day life of prosecutors, which may not be particularly glamorous or rewarding at every given moment, but is valuable nonetheless.
