Shin Hye Sun at her best in a family drama

What an emotional ride this was for me... This was my first 52 episodes drama and I never got bored. And the ending, especially the last 3 eps are pure perfection.

The story has some really heavy twists but I think that's typical at such a length. Of course there were some really unrealistic things but it every choice a character made felt perfectly fine and the story was wrapped up really well.

The acting was really good. Shin Hye Sun was unstoppable and took me on an emotional rollercoaster. There were 2 actors that felt a little stiff but maybe that depended on their characters because I came to like them on later episodes.

The OST is beautiful. There may not be one outstanding song but after watching the first half it took a place on my heart and there are about 4 songs I really love.

About the rewatch value I have to say that I never rewatched anything but I watched the drama despite spoiling myself about some important things but that didn't effect me in any way.

My overall rating is a 10 because I rate on an emotional base. And especially all the parts that lead to this ending and then the ending made me not be able to rate it different.

It plays with your mind

Honestly I didn't expect anything from this. I didn't even know this drama existed. Only found it because I looked up Park Eun Bin.

The plot is quite interesting. We have one main case everything is focused on. the writer plays with your mind and lets you raise suspicion on almost every character but in a way that really makes you think. There are some details you only get in the end that make everything fit in. I can't say if it's the typical plot because I didn't watch that many law dramas but for me it was extremely interesting.

The cast was really good. It felt really authentic and let me praise Dong Ha. I can't stop to say that he's outstanding. There was never stiff acting and there are many faces you recognize as drama fan.

The music was there and fitted good, but nothing outstanding that stayed in my mind.

Here are some points others criticized while I liked it:

1.The focus on mainly one case
Yeah, there is one case that's even connwcted in some way to other cases, and some criticize that that's boring. But I liked how detailed it was and it focus left much room for those small details and how they were switched and are connected. It makes it easy to understand.

2. The reeeeealllly slow romance:
Just take it as a side part, a little extra. But its feels extremely naturally and not the slightest bit forced. I really could imagine how someone would fall in love in RL like that.

3. Second lead:
I think almost everyone really rooted for him. He is played by Dong Ha and even I fell in love. I have a huge crush on this actor now😍 But I don't really have SLS because it felt just right for FL to fall in love with ML.

4. Leads being self centered
That's probably what I understand the least. They are really considerate of other persons and want to help, but that's what some persons called self centered...like acting out of consideration was just an excuse. I absolutely didn't get that. Some criticized FL for her behavior towards her older brother bit I felt that it just fitted with her personality

Bonus: ⭐ Screenwriter of Law School⭐
Really, it's the same! I got this feeling while watching that it reminds me of law school and I was right when I looked up the screenwriter! I didn't know my intuition was so good😳 You can really see how the screenwroter grew from this to Law School. But there are already some similarities that just are inproved in Law School. It already play with your suspicion and emotions!
