So this is the first time I've written a review so if it's not helpful I'm sorry.

I wanted to watch this drama because firstly because I'm a fan of crime/legal dramas and secondly, we never really see judges as a main character in dramas.
The cast was great. I am a very big fan of Dong Ha's acting ever since Suspicious Partner and he did an excellent job in portraying a Crazy Prosecutor interrogating his suspects or what not. Park Eun Bin was very cute in it and I really enjoyed her presence and Yeon Woo Jin was great in showing himself as a logical and intelligent man.
However, I felt that the way they introduced Park Eun Bin's character (Lee Jung Joo) was like a one-time thing. The summary mentioned a judge who cannot control the way she speaks and swears at her defendants but throughout the drama I've only seen her do that once (which was like the first episode or two).

The story had a lot of plot holes in my opinion. There are so many questions left unanswered and there are parts of the story in Lee Jung Joo's brother's case that is unclear. I felt like that it didn't do very well in concluding the case was a major con to this whole drama. There were some plot twists and parts of the story that I would've never thought would occur, however it may be confusing to some people.

The chemistry was really cute between the characters. Dong Ha's character (Do Han Joon) and Yeon Woo Jin's character (Sah Eui Hyun) showed some great love-hate friendship and it was adorable. Sah Eui Hyun is honestly a real tsundere if I should say.
The chemistry between our two main characters Lee Jung Joo and Sah Eui Hyun were cute as well. It's a little awkward and shy but in a good way. However there isn't a lot of romantic moments between them.
There are definitely some second lead moments that hit you right in the heart and I felt so bad for Do Han Joon throughout this whole drama and sometimes it breaks my heart a little.

Overall I probably won't watch this again. Just because I feel like I shouldn't rewatch crime/legal dramas if I already know who the killer is or what kind of plot twist is going to happen. But to those who haven't watched it yet, it always nice to give it a try.
