Feels like heaven UwU
I'm a huge fan of romantic and thriller and rom-com movies omo. When I saw the trailer of this I was totally hyped up and knew that I knew it I should watch this series! (of couse my first reason was Ji Chang Wook, (to whom not) uwu ) And I was totaalllly right!From the first episode untill the last one! This series was love at first sight omg!
The series has fascinated me from the beginning. omg!
The main characters' and the support characters are just really perfect, I mean the actors are perfectly matched by the assigned cast.
For the first time I am big fan of to the ALL OF the cast, even the support roles too. OMG!!
The storyline was MORE better and better than I tought.
Here is another thing, can we tauk about the opening OST? *-*
In this OST here is all of the emotions, personally I always cry when I listening it.
I highly recommend you not only to watch this drama, but to check out the OST as well!
Overall, a lovely drama that surely became one of my favorites on the list! Very funny, interesting, tragic and romantic storyline what would leave you with many different (and of course unforgettable) emotions!
And at the last thing is what I want to say I just want to say thank you for the directors and to the cast and to the stuff, thank you for working hard ❤️

It's sooooooooooooooo underrated!!!!!!!!!!
I mean it's been almost a year I watched this series and there are still few scenes that are crystal clear in my head and it makes me emotional!!The plot is sooo interesting and fast paced..
It's crime thriller and a romance
The mystery is soooooo good and you will actually fall for the criminal!!
Plot:- The synopsis is so bad here!!! It's about a girl who is convicted of murdering her ex boyfriend because his dead body was found in her home..
There she faces her boss as a prosecutor who is supposed to prove her guilty
Will he prosecute her and win the case or would help her?
How would they find the real criminal!!!
I fell for the criminal and his back story and mystery is so we'll set
Every main character had a bad past and they are coping with them
You will love the office scenes it's soo comedic and light hearted I laughed soooooo loud!!
You also get clear view about advocates and their issue...
The romance was fine but could have been better You will love both of the leads they are so compatible!!
The kisses are steamiest!!!
The subplots are amazing and emotional
Give it a watch please I beg you I don't know why the ratings are not sooo well
I am not new into dramas..and this one of my favourite dramas..
Aaahhhhhh amazing!!!!

This drama was on my radar for a long time as it comes from the same writer as Protect the Boss and also has Ji Chang Wook in it (swoon). But I think I had read some comments somewhere awhile back that made me hesitate. I’m so glad I decided to give it a chance anyway. I LOVED it! While the overall serial killer arch wasn’t nearly as creepy as I Remember You (also by the same writer) there were some interesting twists I didn’t see coming and the plot still had enough suspension and tension to keep you pretty invested throughout.
This writer also has a knack for writing heartwarming second leads and supporting characters. I really did love the whole cast! Rather than filling in those spaces with the a-typical (for example) bitchy second female lead, the forlorn and depressing second guy, the rich overpowering and stubborn old man, and the evil, spoiled mother...these roles were instead filled with love-able people who might not have always been “good” necessarily, but you end up enjoying them more for all their flaws.
I ADORED Ji Eun-Hyuk and his never ending adoration for No Ji-Wook. He certainly did him wrong in the past, sure, but he lived his life every day trying to make up for it and their interactions together were just so hilarious and sweet.
Cha Yoo-Jung really grew on me as well. Even though she was positioned to be the cheating ex-girlfriend who comes back and tries to steal No Ji-Wook away..she was never really all that detestable. The writer managed to throw in enough humor and just “human moments” into her character that you can’t help but like her despite it all.
Same with Na Ji-Hae. She started out as a character I was worried that I would hate but both as an enemy and a friend to Eun Bong-Hee she became rather like-able in the end.
Eun Bong-Hee herself is probably the only character I really took issue with. While I liked her *most* of the time, she had moments that really put me off. I guess No Ji-Woo was just so damn perfect it was hard for her to match up to that. But still, there were a lot of situations where he was so understanding and reasonable while she just immaturely acted on her own under the shadow of “sacrificing herself for his sake” when really it was her just being selfish and cowardly.
I get her misgivings but while he was saying “okay, let’s think it through.” She wasn’t even willing to try. Ji-Wook didn’t take things at face value. He was always a voice of reason. But Bong-Hee always lost confidence, and this happened repeatedly...which was all the more frustrating because it was such a good opportunity for character growth and I don’t really think she ever really grew out of that tendency.
Having said that, even during the times she pissed me off the most, she was always quick to recover and make up for it...so I can’t really begrudge the drama too much for that. Overall it was really great, and I would highly recommend it!

Give it a try
I am not a fond of rumantic drama.But
This drama is amazing.
This is my 2nd Korean drama.
First was full house I liked it but I like Thai version most.
There is a huge gap between my first and the second drama.
After watching this drama I have become fan of Korean drama.
Korean dramas are really amazing.
Ji Chang is my favourite Korean actor along with Nam Ji.
Both look amazing, fabulous.
I hope they will work together in future also.
Both have done good work.
I like their chemistry
Even the side male actor has also done good
But the female side role has not done impressive work.
Even the villain has also done fabulous work..
Story is also nice.
I should say give it a try.

I am a big Ji Chang Wook fan, and I didn't know any of the other actors in this, but they're good. I felt like the main female lead was a bit annoying, in the sense that she became completely dependent on the male lead through most of the story (in a financial, emotional and career related way). The romance was weak to me. It started off strong, but it became almost meaningless as the story progressed... which, in a way, was actually good, because the conflict was dragged for so long it would have been maddening if I had been anxiously waiting for those two to be together.
The two second leads were very likable, too, and I look forward to seeing them in other projects. I also enjoyed the soundtrack very much - the main theme isn't for me, but the love ballads in this are very beautiful.
Overall, this wasn't a bad drama, it just didn't really hold my interest.

I didn't love it like everyone else
I have seen A lot of Ji Chang Wook’s dramas, this would mark the 6th drama I have seen where he’s the main lead. I haven’t seen any other K drama Actor as much as I have of him and let’s just say, I didn’t like any of those dramas. I pick up Ji Chang Wook’s dramas because of the high ratings, but every time I watch his dramas, I am ALWAYS disappointed with the overhype.I’m so glad he left his old talent agency and I hope he can find better dramas. I will admit, Healer was okay, but I even fast forwarded some parts.
Suspicious Partner is a classic, so had I known it was a 40 (half episode) / 20 (Full episode) drama, I am not sure I would have picked it up. There is ZERO reason why this drama was so long. Sure, there are some side cases here and there to take your mind off of the main story, but half of the time the side stories were uninteresting.
I do like Nam Ji Hyun in Little Women and 100 Day Prince, but I always felt like her acting was underwhelming. She has the tendency to look like she is reciting lines when it calls for non-emotional scenes. She can act well if she needs to convey emotions, but when she’s simply doing dialogue, it’s very monotone and robotic, which made me feel hardly chemistry between the leads.
I thought a lot of the drama on the show reflects the kind of drama that was popular at the time. Just a bunch of characters making poor choices and therefore must face the consequences of their actions. Why wouldn’t the FL sing “I’m going to kill you” song? I mean, it’s just setting up for her downfall right?
Overall, I can appreciate the drama for what it is, but to me, it was not a hit nor was it a classic in my opinion.

Started strong but fizzled out
The first episode was an absolute hooker!!!First episode:
It had amazing chemistry between the leads. It had funny moments and finally it ended with such a surprising twist which made me really want to watch the next episode.
Episode 2 onwards:
To my dismay, everything just fizzled out. No chemistry. No funny moments. Just a lot of cases. I have to say the cases were interesting but everything else was meh. The last episode was just filled with funny moments which would've been better if they spread out the funny moments throughout.
Still a good watch but not for the romance.

The actors did so well and I don't believe that the plot dragged because of the smaller cases between each episode. I believe that was done well and the comedy side was fantastic. The chemistry between the characters was great, not completely amazing like others but it was still fantastic! I do recommend this as a first time k-drama watch as it was for me.
The best point of this drama is seeing the office members interact with each other and how well they got on. Also their reaction to the main character's relationship was very interesting to watch!
The friendship between Ji Chang Wook and Choi Tae Joon was another killing part for me. And talking about killing the antagonist was fantastic and deserves more praise. He was truly chilling!

everyone has done good acting especially i liked the female main lead and 2nd male lead more than anyone one else
One of the best thing I liked is the character development of the villain and the way his story is told without any rush.
Due to some of the cringe and bad scene I can't give it 10.
I completed it in 3 days with alot of laugh, a little tears and enjoyed it
In short a must watch if you like crime and law genre drama.

Don't get me wrong, I think this drama started off really well. But at some point, I felt as if they were only trying to complicate things to make the plot seem a little more interesting. Character growth is a little slow in as well, however, that can be overlooked. As far as endings go, though, I think they did an exceptional job at wrapping everything up and even leaving a nice bow on top of it all.
With a cast this talented, it's hard not to fall for this drama. But if you know me, you know that I've always appreciated a good villain. I even found myself sympathizing with the antagonist. Is that wrong? I mean, I just spent the last 40 episodes watching this dude dig himself a deeper and deeper hole. It's only natural that I would feel some type of way for him.
But I have to say, if there's one thing I love the most about this drama, it's their original soundtracks. I especially love it when the actors/actresses themselves take part in it as well because it gives the drama a much more significant meaning.
Overall, even though it wasn't a smooth ride from start to finish, I think this drama did enough right for it to earn the gift of being recommended. However, if we're talking about rewatch value, then that's a different story. Personally, I wouldn't rewatch it only because there was nothing that stood out to me or left me begging for more.
With that said,
Llama out.

...cause if all the ends are tied at episode 38, don't make 40 episodes.
If you're considering watching this, this is what you should expect:
Great acting. All the actors did a great job portraying their characters. If you're a fan of JCW you will not be disappointed. Also a very special hats off to Dong Ha who plays the criminal in this drama. He was outstanding. I'll be following his work a lot more after this.
The sub story was amazing.
It really took me by surprise. I've never seen such a well thought out and executed villains plot and it was very deep and moving. They had all the right twists in the right places and I love that they put out subtle hints throughout the drama, warning you about the final twist, so subtle that I did not figure it out.
There's an on and off relationship.
The reason I'm calling it a sub story is because it gets over shadowed by the romance.
Indeed this is a romance thriller but I would have wished for more emphasis on the "thriller" part since that part of the story was so great. Although I love a bit of romance, I can only take in the right amount and when it's an "on and off" relationship like in this drama, I want to shoot the female character. Therefore I will not be taking my hat off for the lead actress. Because of her character and because I didn't really enjoy her acting.
There is also a few faint love triangles moving around but it was bearable. they lasted very shortly and all the female and male characters were all very cool about.
38/40 episodes.
They could have easily wrapped up the whole thing at 38 but they added 2 extra filler episodes. As if you didn't get enough romance through out the entire drama, the last 2 episodes will put you in their everyday, boring life, which, if you're anything like me, will make you hate the lead actress more than you did before. But you can end the agony anywhere you want. 38, 39, or 40. Depends on how much you care about their romance.
Overall this drama was very enjoyable, the acting was great, the characters were a piece of work but that really made them feel realistic. Hope this review was of any help to those who are still considering, instead of pressing play.
ENJOY!!!
