Not what you expect but absolutely worth it
I have to say I didn't liked the first season that much and forced myself a little bit into finishing it (20 Episodes were way too many!) But the second season is just amazing. It is different from what you expect so I understand people who didn't liked it that much but I just think it is great. The acting, soundtrack and the plot... Everything is logic and high quality! Go Youn Jungs acting is just amazing! Also the character development is brilliant. I watched 8 Episodes so far and I am soo exited. Also I think 10 episodes is a good duration for this being a second part! I can only recommend it to you. Watch it! Edit: I finished all episodes and it is really worth it!Was this review helpful to you?
A very thrilling movie
I don't understand why everyone sees this so negative this is a really good action movie.The story isn't the deepest (its an action movie...) but enjoyable for the duration of the film. It is something new and the plot is also very thrilling.
It's good that this is just a film, a drama would have dragged things out.
The SGI is high quality. The acting is also amazing (I mean the Cast!?!).
I think it has everything required for a good action movie!
I'd really recommend to watch it...

Something New
I really love this drama but I have to say its nothing if you want an action or very dramatic drama. The drama follows five charakters through their realistic everyday life and we all know that life isn't a kdrama. From what I expirienced til now (I watched 8 episodes so far) in every episode there is a new client and obstacles for each of the lawyers but mostly it all resolves at the end of the episode. It is a wholesome drama with many heartwarming moments, romance and realistic everyday life situations. Even though the story might not be that exiting the acting and effort they obviously put in this drama are worth watching it!Was this review helpful to you?

Everything good exept the romanec (if you leave out most of the scenes it's good) :)))
Okay so I really liked the serious scenes and the plot that wasn't romance. The deep dive into Baek Sang-il backstory in the last episodes was so interesting and that scene where he held Kang Tae-ha for the first time broke my heart. ( He is still not a good person but I can't help but wonder what would have happend if he decided differently back then.) As for the Romance it was too much for me and it really didn't go well with the rest of the plot. Like you'd have a cute scene between the Leads and then CUT brutal torture or something. The mood shifted too fast and drastically if you know what I mean.As for the characters this whole Taffy Village was a bit too wholesome and soft for my taste. At some point it got too clichee. What I'm really sad about is the character development of the leads. In the Beginning both of them were super badass and then in the ending they were constantly staring at each other with puppy eyes. I was actually excited to see Jung Hae-in in a role that wasn't all sunshine and rainbows like love next door but in the end it just got ridiculous. And I don't mean their acting, that was pretty good but the script was just really not that good. The FL was supposed to be some hotshot prosecutor but in the end she was just annoying and clingy.
