Great mashup of romance + legal + comedy + thriller

I don’t care what others feel about this drama but I absolutely loved this drama. It’s my number one romcom purely for the amazing chemistry of the two leads - Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun. Their chemistry was off the charts and I’m yet to see a kdrama couple that can beat their chemistry. Ji Chang Wook has looked and acted his best in this drama (sorry Healer fans).

Story : The story is predictable but it starts off strong with a murder mystery backdrop and the leads getting entangled in it. The pacing suffered cause they made it a 20 episode drama, it could have been better with 4 episodes edited out.

Cast : One of my favourite ensemble casts, along with the leads the supporting cast was ace and the lawyer office gang was my favourite. They had a natural chemistry and great comic timing, those office meeting scenes are my go-to scenes for a laughter dose. I loved how they stood by each other. Mr Bang, Eun Hyuk and Mr Byeong are my absolute favourites. Even the bickering moms were hilarious. Kim Ye Won as JiHae grew on me and her frenemiship with Bong Hee was superb. Dong Ha was great as the villain

Music : Contrary to majority folks here, the album of this drama is one of my favourites. The songs captured all the moods and elements of the drama & romance - the longing, the missing, the happiness, the chirpiness and the whole feeling of being madly in love.

Rewatch Value : A zillion times, I have lost track of how many times I rewatch this drama in the last 2 years since I chanced on it in April 20. Highly recommend - I don’t understand why people wouldn’t like this. There is zero toxicity in the romance nor any OTT melodrama which is prevalent in the so called cult or famous dramas.

Overall : Love it, recommend it. I’m yet to meet someone to whom I recommended this drama and did not like it. This drama is one of my comfort dramas.

Let me start off by saying that of you want lots of feels, this is the show you could watch just for the fluff and cheesy scenes again and again. As I write this review I remember how fun it was to watch it every time a new episode airs. I could feel curiosity and anticipation while waiting for new episodes.There are some scenes that are kind of a filler only. Overall everything else is great. The actors, the cinematography, the soundtrack; it will give you tingly feelings. Can I also say that Ji Wook is one of my top 5 male kdrama characters? He doesn't force anyone to do something if he/she isn't comfortable with it. (That's probably the best I can give without spoiling too much)

this could've been ten times more amazing. this drama had so much more potential. there are some big flaws and some minor flaws, and if these stupid things weren't even there, this would've been mind-blowing goodness. it would've been astounding and amazing and every thing else that counts as good stuff. but the biggest, biggest problem in the drama was its pacing and it's length, and judging from other reviews i've read of this drama, many other viewers would agree with me.

this was too slow-paced, and it was dragged out way too long. instead of making 40 episodes, even 32 episodes would've been better, with the shortened version of 16 running an hour long each. things went much too slow, and their portrayal of the lawyers and prosecuters had so much more potential too, and in certain scenes they were great (ji chang wook roasting the shit out of hyeong jyeong soo or the legendary criminal in court is literally to die for) until they weren't anymore. most of the drama was supposed to be about bong soo, and i remember being so happy watching the first episode and knowing it was going to be one hell of a ride, but you get to the last ten episodes, and everything's about no ji wook, no ji wook, no ji wook. don't get me wrong, i want my fill on ji chang wook just as much as any other fan, but the drama and plotline were supposed to be mostly centered around bong soo and her backstory, and in the end, we barely knew anything about her anymore. it was . . . the length of it ruined everything, and in it, a lot of important things got lost in it too. what happened to that man who could sometimes predict the future and predicted that two people in that room would die? he died. who else died? i don't think mr. bang died and came back to life.

it wasn't as if the entire drama was dull and lackluster. in fact, there were several scenes that almost rekindled the spark i felt at the first episode, and those scenes i found in episodes 38, 39, and 40 actually, though they were spread out towards several of the other episodes. but agh, the length of it bothered me so much. if it was paced faster, this could've been hella better, man. and speaking of rekindling sparks, let's talk bong soo and ji chang wook. damn, i hate it when the woman chases after the man and i felt embarrassed on bong soo's behalf when she literally dragged him after her, but it was still comical. but that aside, their romance. what happened? the length of the drama happened. i come back to the length every single time. their spark kindled, died out and you could barely see it (like did they even care about eachother anymore?) and then when it came again, it was literally just a small, tiny piece. it was . . . if the drama had fewer episodes, their romance could've been portrayed in its full beauty, because aside from the matter of the kindling on and off, when they were in the feels, they sure as hell were in the feels and put you in the feels too.

and the last and most important aspect of this drama: i loved jyeong hyeong soo up until we found out about his involvement in the rape. if there was one big twist, ji wook framing him as one of the rapists was definitely one of them. i got so attached to their killing treasure (well he did attempt to kill mr. bang but i tried to see him in the good light, he portrayed an amazing villain) and up until the part we find he was a loSER WHO SAT BACK AND WATCHED THE RAPE HAPPENED KILLED EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF MY VIBES. FOR HIM. so up until we find out that part, i loved that guy. the criminal part of the plotline was amazingly delivered though, and if it weren't for the pacing, it would've gone better. every bad things comes down to the pacing, period.

i'm not done yet. eun hyeok was an adorable treasure, and speaking of him, what really happened? did they actually cheat? did they not cheat? nara asks him whether he ever told ji wook the "truth" and that makes me wonder whether they actually slept together or just almost slept together. that got lost in the plot too, and i didn't see proper chemistry between her and eun hyeok. nara's character, on the other hand, was a sulking, brooding, pitiful, pathetic woman who. could've. been. portrayed. so. much. better. you see her in the first scene kicking butt, and you love her, and then you see her demanding ji wook take her back and being pitiful when he says no, and it makes you wonder what the hell happened to the wonderfully badass character we saw the first time. they did horribly on nara's character. she remained pitiful and pathetic through and through, with no meaning or actual backstory to support her at all. so much for the badass title of lawyer. we never even got to see her successfully win a trial either, and when she pursues anything because of the team, she's told off by her manager (is he her manager?) about what crap she is and she should just leave. her and the other girl (the one who helped bong's ex cheat on her) could've had better character development and intensity, but both were crappily done from somewhere in the beginning.

Honestly this is one of my favorite dramas. The plot was good, I liked the whole law background, but it bothered me the constant time-jumps during the first episode. The cast is great, the villain did a good job, and the side characters were interesting. It has a good rewatch value, one of the main problems of the show is the duration. 16/32 episodes is actually the perfect duration and it felt like the producers of the show were a bit lost with what to do in the last episode. Noh Ji Wook and Eun Bong Hee are one of my favorite drama couples, the chemistry was great, it was mature enough to have decent kisses, but their return as a couple at the end was lame, they provided many good scenes when they weren't oficially together and when they're finally in peace the scenes were boring, but that was only in the last two episodes, so I would say it's really worth it to watch. They're the perfect example of "She fell first but he fell harder"

I really liked Suspicious Partner! The characters were all likable and the plot was very interesting to watch unfold. I really enjoyed the dynamics between Ji Chang Wook's character and the female MC, especially when they didn't get along so well. Ji Chang Wook is a very talented actor and I really appreciate how well he can capture and portray a variety of characters. The ending was great and all loose ends were tied up very well and satisfyingly. The only reason why there's half a star shaved off my rating is because there was a slightly awkward tone/atmosphere that you could barely notice, which threw me off occasionally - but not detrimentally because I still really enjoyed it! The grandfather was a hoot!

Horrible behaviors of characters, great potential of the story

Really, those characters are all I hate most in Asian drama series.

The secondary leads assholes who should basically suffer for their horrible deeds through the whole show find both love, redemption and even rebuild friendship + get a new friend instead. It's disgusting. Totally disgusting. The secondary FL and ML should be kicked in balls/crotch every single time they're on screen but no. Both the main FL and the main ML who has a full right to kick them forgive their treason instead, the FL becomes their friend even though they're just lowly creatures and she also came through the same treason as the ML so she should despise the secondary leads equally as him. I can't accept such stuff. It's stupid, disgusting, not realistic, not worth any praise - it's even bad to show such examples to other people because it teachers wrong things. They do not deserve any redemption, they should be paying for what they've done and both the ML and FL should proudly say F***K OFF to them smiling and walking away hand in hand for secondary leads to only suffer. Here - no, just the opposite, stupid, worthless shit in this dram. It's just stupid, serves nothing, just follows those pseudo-dramatic patterns of any typical drama. The worst work from ML actor - Healer and K2 were his great roles, this is total garbage.

Another problem - the main leads themselves. They're worst of worst, which is surprising because this guy is capable of playing characters in action series who actually do what they're supposed to do (mentioned Healer and K2). Here - no, nothing like that happens - he's just a worthless piece of shit. He loves her but says he does not (why the hell, what is the reason for that, why would anyone want to see it?). What the hell is that. It's also stupid and disgusting. She suffers, he sees it but does nothing. When important things need to be said, a phone rangs. A normal person would turn it off or tell the other person to f***ing forget the phone or not important meeting and listen and stay here now because what's here is important. But no. People walk off at most important moments, most important things remain untold and both the characters behave like total, worthless idiot emo-kids. It's totally the same for a FL.

The worst thing is that they get guts in totally unreasonable situations. The ML scolds her, criticizes her and can stand strong against anyone but when the crucial, most important moment comes, the always weak FL finds some magical strength to tell him to do not get involved in her problems. He behaves like an idiot, can't say anything while he should do the thing he always does and just respond: no - I will get involved and I will not listen to your bullshit right now so stop with that and listen. Nothing like that happens. It's so frustrating watching this drama, it's really like torturing yoruself when the beginning promised such a great potential.

I really hate watching this. The story has a great promise, as I said, it may have been great but it turned out the worst typcial shit of korean dramas. The ML could be strong, take care of the woman, appear when he has to appear and just be a normal guy but no. He had all this potential and it all has ended after the best scene in 2nd or 3rd episode when he protects the truth and justice sacrificing his career but then - he becomes a worthless shit no one normal would like to watch - only some romantic teenager idiots who like such emo shit.

It's really horrible.

Great legal drama with romance and a serial killer

9.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2017 South Korean television drama spanning 40 episodes (~30 minutes). Ji-wook (Chang-wook) male lead. The lead female character is Eun Bong-Hee (Nam Ji-hyun)

About Noh Ji-wook, a prosecutor, and Eun Bong-hee , a prosecutor trainee, and how they work together on a mysterious case involving a sly psychopath murderer They find out how deeply connected they are by their past.

Spoiler 🚨 The standard description really does not do credit to this story. There is a serial killer who taunts the two main characters throughout the entire show. The female lead is framed for a murder she did not commit and it basically destroys her life. There is sizzling chemistry between her and the male lead. Lots of romance and it is filled with suspense. This is now one of my favorites.

LONG REVIEW

Now that I have watched the whole drama (because of  Ji Chang Wook, let’s be honest) I understand the complaints. I’ll start with the good, move to the bad, and finish with the ugly.

The Good : When I started watching the show, I expected mainly comedy, based on the 1st episode (didn’t remember the synopsis). While it was fun to watch, it dealt with dark issues, and revealed a lot about man’s fragility and his natural tendency to be selfish and do evil, including when it comes to love. As predictable as the romance was, the criminal cases weren’t. I thought that making a drama about serious murder cases so digestible was not an easy task, and very well done. I also appreciated the fact that the female lead was not as gorgeous as the male lead. It's usually the other way around. She was not Ms Perfect, but just an everyday girl, and very opiniated. Ji Wook was generous and transparent, in real life he would make an awesome partner.

The bad (actors) : Very few actors can mix deep emotions with comedy. Ji Chang Wook can do it easy, but Nam Ji Hyun is not as good. She’s awesome to make you laugh, but when it comes to moving you to tears or making you angry, I couldn’t take her seriously. She’s not good at conveying deep emotions. She can’t cry to save her life. Well, at least Ji Chang Wook and Dong Ha (who was terrific) made up for her average skills.

The ugly (plot) : Some things were too unrealistic. Now I know this is entertainment but this is not a fantasy or sci-fi drama, this is a legal one. No woman in her right mind would move in where Bong Hee lived so fast. There's more to say but then I would have to spoil a lot. As for the characters, Yoo Jung was a pretty blend and irrelevant one. Self-centered, childish, unable to self-reflect. I never liked the situation between Eun Hyuk and Yoo Jung, and until the end I never liked those two.

In conclusion I enjoyed the drama at first but it went south by the 30th episode, now I get why it gets so much bad rap. It was too long (32 episodes of 30 minutes would have been more than enough), some circumstances were too unrealistic and the ending was beyond lackluster. Where were the fireworks ??? Way to frustrate an audience after 40 freaking episodes!!!!

Though I can kind of understand the mixed reviews, I thought this was fun and romantic and think it's defintiely worth checking out. It starts off really strong with loads of romance and cuteness which fizzles somewhat with darker plot complications as the story progressed, but ultimately goes back to being cute. I feel like I've watched a few dramas recently that pair the cute romantic comedy and dark crime genres together. It seems like an difficult pairing to pull off, but this drama manages to do it adequately. So depending on how charismatic you find the main couple or how much you enjoy the crime story / villain you may really enjoy this.

PROS: Ji Chang Wook is my favorite actor since I watched him in Healer so I admit that makes me rate this drama higher than I might if he wasn't in it - maybe half a point higher. I was really happy to just watch him in something where he just plays a normal guy. For me this was enough to keep me entertained. I also liked Bong Hee and thought they had good chemistry together.

The supporting characters were cute and likable. I enjoyed the funny bickering of attorneys at the office. Their office meetings were always funny. I also thought the bickering moms storyline was funny. The mean female attorney character grew on me and became one of the more amusing side characters.

CONS: It doesn't finish as strongly as it started and to me a it drags a little in the middle when the crime storyline takes more prominence. The actor who plays the villain gets a lot of screen time and does a good job. But I just wasn't as invested in this part of the story. The plot was entertaining enough to keep my attention though. Certain plot points could have been amped up for more impact. And certain plot points are introduced that added complications but could have been done without. The second leads could have been given a little more to do. And the old friendship between 2 male leads could have been played up a little more. I would have liked to see more of them together.

That sounds like a lot of cons, but it is mostly picking at the plot. Overall, I thought this was a really fun and cute drama to watch and looked forward to each episode.

Before you get into this review, let me warn you that I am a BIG fan of actor Ji Chang Wook and this review will contain a lot of praises for my most favourite Korean actor. So, if you don’t like him (which is impossible because how can anybody, not like Ji Chang Wook?) then do not proceed further.
I was a little surprised when Ji Chang Wook stated that Suspicious Partner is his first try at rom-com because I always saw him as a romantic hero. I later realised that his previous dramas were more of action and less of romance. His role in ‘Empress Ki’ was comical but the show was more of drama and less of comedy. So, that does make Suspicious Partner his first rom-com. And I wish I could personally tell him that he did a great job at it.
 
Let’s weigh this rom-com cum suspense drama on our show beam balance and see what makes these two unlikely partners a hit.

Good Weights
Ji Chang Wook: There is a reason why actor Ji Chang Wook is my favourite. Apart from his ridiculously handsome face, smouldering gaze, childlike smile, and HAWT body, there is one important quality in him that makes him the perfect drama hero for me. That quality is the conviction with which he does romantic scenes. The director of the show is clearly aware of Chang Wook’s forte and has used every opportunity to showcase Chang Wook’s plus points. Some scenes show Ji Wook suffering from some internal turmoil and he is unable to say it aloud so he just gazes at Bong Hee. I would kill to have Chang Wook look at me with those eyes. And not just romance, he is damn freaking good even in emotional scenes. The scene when Officer Bang is hanging between life and death and a shattered Ji Wook pounds on the door wailing for his friend gave me goosebumps. What is it that Ji Chang Wook can’t do? Well, he does need to work on his comic timing (and his dance too. He sucks at dancing but thankfully he does not really need it as an actor in Korean entertainment industry). He is like India’s Hrithik Roshan who aces emotional and romantic scenes like no other actor but is on a weaker footing when it comes to comedy. But I could see it in this show itself that Chang Wook is working hard on improving his comic timing and I am sure he will get better.

Nam Ji Hyun: Talking about comic timing, there couldn’t have been a better actress than Nam Ji Hyun to pull off amusing scenes so effortlessly. The funny scenes on the show seemed funny because of Nam Ji Hyun. Her pleasing personality and bright warm smile make me happy, very happy. Bong Hee is supposed to be a black belt champion who fights like a professional but I felt there was a lot of scope in that department for Ji Hyun. Her few fighting scenes did not look very convincing to me.  However, her expressive face made up for all her shortcomings. Several actresses turned down the role of Eun Bong Hee before Nam Ji Hyun signed up for it. And I was thrilled to know that I would be seeing two of my favourite actors together in a drama.

Lead Couple Chemistry: I am not just a regular fan girl but a crazy obsessive possessive fangirl who can’t share her Oppa with anybody else. And I will admit here that the chemistry between Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun was so amazing that I hated to see them together. After seeing their explosive and passionate love scene I almost wanted to kill Nam Ji Hyun because I was just so envious of her. Jealousy aside, a love story can be successful only when the lead couple shares good on-screen chemistry. If you see any other show of Ji Chang Wook, you will know that he can build chemistry with even a rock. He looks at his female lead with such adoration that I am convinced of his love for them. However, if Ji Wook and Bong Hee look great together then it is not only because of Ji Chang Wook but also because Nam Ji Hyun complemented him well. Her acting skills matched with his and together they created magic on screen. Fans have been rooting for them to date in real life. I would have laughed at the fans optimism but after the Song-Song couple breaking the news of their marriage, I feel anything is possible and nobody would be happier than me to see Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun together. (I am lying. I want Ji Chang Wook to be with ME and not anybody else.)

Eun Hyuk: Me and my obsession with second leads. Argh!!! Thankfully this second lead is not in a love triangle with the main lead so you see he is different. Eun Hyuk’s character is funny, friendly and vital to the story. I like all the supporting characters on the show, but Eun Hyuk is my favourite because through most part of the show his personality seemed hard for me to define. He seemed almost mysterious to me as I tried to figure out if he was a comical character or a serious dude. Well, he is a blend of comedy and seriousness which is why I like the character a lot. He is a friend who screwed up big time with his besties and repents it. He tries his best to win Ji Wook’s trust and helps him whenever he can. He gives Bong Hee the additional boost she needs to act upon her feelings for Ji Wook. He is that one character whose presence makes me feel rest assured that no matter how bad things go for Ji Wook and Bong Hee, Eun Hyuk will help them out of it.
Though I liked Ji Wook and Bong Hee’s love story it was Eun Hyuk and Yoo Jung’s love story that I was more interested in. It is because you know that Ji Wook and Bong Hee, like any other couple, will meet and separate and then meet again to be together forever. The same applies to Eun Hyuk and Yoo Jung too but their story development was slow paced and uncertain. In spite of the evident chemistry, I still wasn’t sure if they would eventually end up together or not and this made me root for them so bad that I couldn’t wait to see them finally admit their feelings.

Bromance: This show had a lot of bromance happening between Ji Wook and his friends Eun Hyuk, Officer Bang, CEO Byun. These men play an important role in Ji Wook’s life and they all are cool. Ji Wook’s awkward, almost rebellious, relationship with his foster father CEO Byun is cute because when you feel worried for Ji Wook’s reckless decisions you know he has CEO Byun’s backing who will take good care of him. Similarly, when Ji Wook needs an extra hand at work you know his work will be done by his right-hand Officer Bang. And lastly, the frenemy turned friend (?) Eun Hyuk and Ji Wook share and easy and interesting chemistry. I loved their banter and their minor fights. I couldn’t help clapping in glee whenever they would act friendly each other.

Direction and Sound Track: After Goblin it was Suspicious Partner that I felt was beautifully directed and edited. The cinematography was excellent. I have to mention the kiss scenes here. Whenever there is was kiss scene, the audio would suddenly go off till the song would resume after a few moments of complete silence. This lack of sound baffled me at first but then I really appreciated the idea of having no sound till the two characters grow closer in the scene.

The show’s OST includes peppy songs like ‘Eye Contact’ by Kim EZ and ‘Why You’ by Seenroot that symbolize Ji Wook and Bong Hee’s initial relationship.
Meanwhile, ‘Breathing All Day’ by Bumkey and ‘How About You’ by Cheeze is for the lovely moments that Ji Wook and Bong Hee share in the show.

Ending: I have been ranting in my last few drama reviews of how I was left disappointed and cheated of a good conclusion to several dramas. Suspicious Partner surprised me not only during its run but also with its stunning conclusion. The ending was totally shocking as I really did not expect the puzzle to solve in a way that would leave me astonished with the final picture. I did not expect such an unpredictable twist. And I would applaud the writer for unravelling the mystery so skillfully and giving me the classic ending I was starved for.


Bad Weights
Story Pacing: Though I loved the show a lot, I have to admit that it does get a little boring for a few episodes in the middle. The show was funny, romantic, and suspenseful. But I did not like it when the villain disappeared for a few episodes. In the villain’s absence, the focus turns to developing the love story between Ji Wook and Bong Hee, which was cute but for me the story went off-track for those few episodes. It was necessary to show how Ji Wook and Bong Hee are connected with an incident that occurred in the past. However, even though I loved Ji Wook and Bong Hee’s love story, I really missed the villain and awaited his return eagerly.
 
The show beam balance is overloaded with good weights. Thus implying that it is a thoroughly entertaining drama. Suspicious Partner is my bias Ji Chang Wook’s final drama before he enlists for mandatory military service and I am so happy with his impeccable performance in the show. Yes, his comic timing can be worked upon but other than that my dear Oppa rocks all departments of dramatic acting. Actress Nam Ji Hyun stuns with her immaculate performance and fills in wherever Chang Wook falls short. Her dazzling smile always manages to melt my heart and I really love watching her dramas. Chang Wook and Ji Hyun together make this show endearing and entertaining.

Suspicious Partner is a rom-com that is beautifully blended with suspense and some drama. The show does slow down a bit but manages to catch up in the end. Watch it because it should not be missed for any reason.

Wasted potential

The male protagonist and the secondary cast carry the kdrama because the female protagonist is UNSUPPORTABLE. It makes no sense when she becomes cold and skittish with the protagonist's love as she is physically, emotionally and professionally dependent on him. That classic dog man cliché that does everything for the female protagonist and she just ages with indifference. I don't know how there are so many women who like to watch this dynamic, it's a very toxic form of relationship. If it weren't for the boring female protagonist it would have been a better kdrama.
