The diary of a prosecutor is a very well written drama which holds life in every aspect. The drama does not imply more on continuity, that is, each episode is a different story, like the good old cartoons we used to watch. It has a bit of everything you would like in a drama. I wont make any statement that this drama is a must watch but if you are tired from all the cliches that you have watched, this would be a relief.

Lee Sun Gyun, oh, Jeez! Jealous of your voice, enough to watch your dramas and movies. The rest of the cast, sorry can't recall the names, were superb. There isn't even a support role in a sense that each one has been given a story and importance. The drama also deals with matters from gender inequality and patriarchy to bullying due to organisational hierarchy. The drama doesn't depict the story of typical lead actors who achieves their goal at the chapter ending but showcases the plus and minuses of each person compromising their star status.

Over all, it was a sweet treat for me.

Disappointing

Just want to say that this not the worst drama as many reviews say but just a below average one. Kudos to the creator for ruining a great plot. It would have been one of the best thread only if!!! I don't know whether the creator underestimates the viewers. I haven't seen a drama in the recent past with so many loopholes and mistakes. They were really immature in building the story and not to mention the dialogues, cringe ultimatum!!!
The male leads were good in a way that they were successful in giving some feels to the viewers in some of the scenes. On contrary , FL character was really a disappointment . I would rather put her as more of a psycho than Gong Ji Chul in this drama.
I feel for Jang Ki young cause he was having a great streak.
I don't recommend this drama to anyone but I would say that this is not the worst as there are even more trashes rated over 8 with more popular leads.

When I was the most depressed

I am a Jisoo fan from day one but wont stop me from saying that this one was nearly a disappointing drama for me. The story is something that would have been interesting a decade ago. When you got an amazing cast at your service, the makers should have been a bit more productive. This series stands between mature and cliché. The dialogues were good and were executed brilliantly. There is no wrong in a complete melodrama format but it becomes a headache if you can't bring realistic aspects to it. Character portrayal like Yeji's aunt and Carrie was cringe at times. The father of the brothers was one to applaud.

The saviours of the drama is indeed the cast. I liked Ha Seok vibrant acting. So bad that he is not used well. He could make any role. Im Soo Hyang is really the soul of this drama. There is something peculiar in her acting. Her way of dialogue delivery is a textbook to other actors.

Coming to Jisoo, been a fan of him since Angry Mom, and five years apart, he is still the sad boy. Dude just needs to change his agency.

I just watched a masterpiece . The drama excels in every aspect from OSTs to Cinematography , this is one of the best, Definitely in my top 10. This is when we realise that responsible creators are most important in the industry. They didn't try to make a fool out of the viewers like most of the others do. They valued our time and work hard to bring the best out. It's all evident in this drama from start to end. The casts were amazing. I was amazed by the FL from Little forest and Handmaiden. She is subtle yet strong in the way of representing the character. LBH as always was superb and mostly, cool and stylish . Yoon Seok was admirable as well playing a bit of both good and bad shade. The actors done the role brilliantly and maturely without the regular dose of cliches that K-actors produce. Must watch!!!!!

I know watching a 2014 drama in 2020 is a bit challenging as the trend will be a bit outdated. This drama is just a watchable flick if you can compromise the cliches . Rich man poor girl is commonly used in kdrama platform and this drama isn't something new. Along with that a second lead can give the director a few more episodes to shoot . Jang Nara is okay but I hate the powerless poor portrayal of women in kdrama.
The only thing that kept me going was Jang Hyuk. Oh,man! What an actor. The character he portrayed was a bit awkward in every manner. From a comic person to a emotional one in just a matter of seconds... He pulled it off with ease in his own manner. He just didn't care about his status as a person and the let the actor take over. There we scenes in which most of the actors would give an awkward performance but he just made it so easy.
If it wasn't for Hyuk, would've dropped it midway.

While searching for some of the best korean movies to watch during the quarantine, one of my friend recommended this movie to me. It's sad that I couldn't find this movie recommendation in any of the online platform. The rating itself is too low for this classy work. This is a simple story with a greater meaning. A man who thinks that he is Superman and his mission is to save the world even if his life is in jeopardy. His happiness lies in the joy of other people.
Apart form a few dramatic scenes, this is a class movie. I would say the director is successful in making people with teary eyes in the second half of the movie, well, we all don't mind a little bit of drama.
It a recommendable movie overall. Hope you all like it.

Binge-Watchable

I haven't seen a lot of C-dramas, maybe 15 but except for three or four series, I have dropped all. Mainly because the lack of realistic emotions between characters. I won't say that this is a all-in realistic series but it gives a similar vibe. The first few episode are slow paced but sweet and later it regains pace and is binge watchable.

The music is good, especially the intro and the guitar bgm that plays all through the series.

Talking about the leads, i found them as a perfect cast. Even though ML had a wax face all through the series, he bought up a realistic aspect to the drama and it's still a mystery for me. Gotta admit, Janice is the cutest!

This drama won't disappoint you, I swear!
