Hidden Potential?

I honestly think this series has a hidden potential not explored fully yet.

While the story and acting are definitely on good quality, some things about the side characters doesn't really convince me that they are written well enough. On the other hand, the main character who has autism spectrum was greatly potrayed by
Park Eun Bin, like little gestural details and body language made the character feel and look very convincing.

However, did they tell her to tone it down a bit since she was playing a lawyer after all? Yes she has autism disorder but it was not clearly explained why her social awkwardness didn't continue to be present by the 6th episode. By that time she seemed to interact quite normally with others, and her perfect memory was just one talent also not fully utilised. Each 1-2 episodes there was a different case too, which to me broke the flow of the story quite a bit.

I say this everytime, I don't care how "unique" and "challenging" a storyline is. As lons as it is entertaining and flows into a specific resolution then it's a series worth watching. This feels like another wasted potential. Could've been a true masterpiece.
But by the 8th episode, I felt like there was no purpose to the story anymore. The romance? I don't even wanna talk about it. Was it even necessery for a romantic interest to be there from the begginning? Or did they add it there as the "icing on the cake"? it is quite boring and awkward on top of that.

The people who rated this 10/10 are just your typical overhypers, nothing else to explain there. I guess modern kdramas have reached a new standard, a lower one at that. If this series deserves a 10/10 then I deserve to get paid for these honestly critical reviews I am writing for each shit show :D.
