It was great up until the last episodes. One of the dramas that shows the best a female main character that is not only strong, but ambitious and perfectionist at what she does. At first, you may hate her a bit for how pitty she acts, but she's way stronger, smarter and better than the first impression. She's great at her job, but as much as she is a genious as an anchor, her life and humanity/emotional intelligence are a mess. There is no "women are pure and innocent" here. No "Omg he kissed me!". There are also sexual harassment/rape subject being discussed, so I recoment not to watch If you are triggered by it.
They criticize the sexism, specially with "ageism" (status of a women being entirely based on how young and pretty she looks), the unfairness, the justice system, the corruption of the richests, the jealousy, the hatred and many other bad emotions. Basically they rewrite the term "don't judge a book by the cover" as a drama, and they remember us that ALL characters are ment to be like humans, and nobody is perfect. Nobody is a Saint, nor a complete sinner. But everything we do may affect our lives and the people around us.
The end just ruined it to me. They turned something great into a smaller and pitty situation when it could have been way bigger. I do understand their intentions, but they lost many better plot conclusions.
I do recomend watching, tho. Just... do not care about who the killer is or the reasons. The characters, acting, and side plots are worth it.
(PS: I would say Hye-ran seems a bit like "Korean version of Annalise". I felt like watching episodes from How To Get Away With Murder because of her personallity and actions in some scenes. Obviously, not totally the same, but their vibes and main strenghts/weaknesses are somehow similar)
