DREAMS AND LAW!

I am a sucker for shows that has mystery/thriller vibes and this show is a perfect blend of both. I absolutely loved this show.

Plot: A news reporter is on a career break as she believes she will die on her duty in future. This is because her dreams become a reality. She meets a prosecutor who saves her life from a car accident - something that she had dreamed before. She had tried changing the reality but she couldn't. The prosecutor is the one who proved that the reality can be changed. He saved the reporter because he dreamed about her and the cop who gets killed in the car accident. Now, the news reporter, the prosecutor and the cop dream about each other's future events. All their future events are tied up with their professions and they help each other, while dealing with an evil attorney.

Cast: Not only the main leads, I also liked all the side characters except the evil ones. My favorite was Jaechan's brother, Daegu and Mr. Choi. We have all seen Mr. Choi as the villain in SWDBS but here he was just an exceptional hero for me. And throughout the show, I found myself more attracted to Jang Hae In than Lee Jong Suk...and even an unshaved Jang Hae In was too hot.

What I liked: Unlike other shows, where sub-plots are often created with new characters that the main leads are not quite acquainted, here we could see the sub-plots based on the people around the main characters. Eg. the reporter dreams about the barista from where she orders the coffee and the prosecutor dreams about the barista and the reporter being attacked. I love how they tied the stories neatly, inter-weaving them with perfection. My favorite scenes would be the robotic vacuum cleaner scene and Wootak's secret reveal idea by Hongjoo. The final episode had me drowning in tears. The cases were perfectly trialed in the courts and I loved every aspect of the cases. Imo, Yoobum could have been redeemed at a young age but matters got of hand and he turned out to be a devil. And I loved the bickering between Jaechan and his brother. Jang Hae In wasn't actively pursuing the love of the female lead despite being a second lead and that just adds more beauty to the show.

OST: That dramatic music score whenever something big happens - that was fantastic. Goosebumps!

Overall: 9/10. I will again watch it in future.
