Delightfully Deceitful (2023)

Most refreshing drama of 2023 (contains spoilers of the first 2 episodes)

The female lead is cunning and is deemed a "sociopath" (though this is probably not the case as hinted in the first 2 episodes). The female lead is smart, funny, "antisocial" and charming when she needs to be. The male lead is a top-lawyer who is described to have a condition where he is highly empathetic. However, while this is true, it seems this "empathy" is more so of a selective nature, especially towards the female lead. He and the female lead have a childhood connection, that influences the male lead to help the female lead. Essentially the show is about the female lead being falsely accused of the murder of her parents, and the male lead becomes her lawyer to help prove her innocent. The "good boy" "bad girl" trope is not common in kdramas so I recommend everyone should give this drama a try.

I decided to watch this drama "just because". Man, after watching episodes 1–4, I AM BLOWN AWAY. The pacing is great, the plot is superb, and the chemistry of the characters is top-tier. The female lead is very interesting, to the point that her actions are almost as powerful as they can be. The male lead is fine; his whole set of attributes scream empathy, and it's really nice to see how opposite they are to each other. Everything about this drama is perfection to the core! I can't wait to watch the next episodes and see how this story unfolds. If you're hesitating to watch, don't be. This drama is worth your time. No cap.
