Artistically, psychologically, ideologically

In this drama, I appreciate the general idea, the intention, the camera handling and the acting.
What I don't appreciate is that despite only eight episodes, everything was long-winded and boring. Many of the scenes and shots, in my opinion, have artistic overtones, while they add little or nothing to the plot itself. They don't even set the mood properly. Law dramas are my love, but this drama is full of absurdity when it comes to law and focuses almost exclusively on the psychological changes occurring in the main character from the moment of the crime to the end of the drama. The psychological aspect definitely dominates, unfortunately at the expense of the legal issues.
Another absurdity is the prison absurdity. It's a shame to even talk about how the prison was portrayed.
I suspect the drama was intended to make viewers think about the nature of law and justice, but the tools they used didn't convince me. I did not sympathize with any of the characters. I was not interested in whether the accused was guilty. I wasn't interested in what the verdict would be. In my opinion, the viewer would be more likely to reflect if they made an emotional connection with the character and could identify with them.
However, one thing stuck in my memory - the biggest absurdity was the prosecutor, from the beginning to the end. Neither the scriptwriter nor the director attached any importance to creating the whole accusation, but perhaps that was their aim.
The music was almost unnoticeable.
Overall decent drama, but for me it ran the legal spectrum wrong and had too strong, even suffocating psychological/ideological aspect.
