What I liked

- The drama was about Judges wich I believe, aren’t often portrayed on dramas.
- I thought Eui Hyun was going to be a jerk falling for a crazy girl, but i was wrong. He was the nicest guy. I loved him a lot. It was refreshing watching another kind of male lead.
- Han Joon was amazing too. I got to see a different side of him in this and i enjoyed every second of it.
- Also it was quite unique that this story was not one of corruption and betrayal. For once, even if it cost them, the judges kept things going as they should.



What I disliked

- I had two major issues with this drama. The first one is that it is a story about judges but it could have been one about prosecutors, police officers or whatever you want. There is no distinction between the job of these people. And this is something that I witness in almost every legal drama. One moment they were judging and the other they were paying visits to the defendant’s family. While the case was still on trial. Other times they investigated what was a job of the prosecution.
- The second issue that i had with this one is that Is a drama so average. The screenwriter had the upper hand in this drama because, as I mentioned before, legal dramas involving judges aren’t that common. But instead of coming with a plot related to the tribulations and issues of the judges, we got a drama with a major case in hand and that is.
- I didn’t believed for a second the actual murderer, it was so out of nowhere.-
- And there’s the thing with the judge with lenses coming out as gay as it seems. How? It looked like a way to address a real issue but man if you want to get deep do it properly. If you want to make a drama that will make people reflect on their lives then you had 31 episodes to make it work.



What could have been better

- The romance. Gosh yes, they had their good moments but it was so not smooth the way they make them a couple.
- What about Han Joon? In the end he never got back to his job.
- The plot was so slow i got easily distracted but my phone. They took a long time to get things done. And the las 2 episodes cut have been cut down.
- Messy details of the drama. The judges going back and forth between jurisdictions.


Anyways the drama is watchable but no more than that.
