This was addictively entertaining, but I was groaning at the plot, especially during the last couple of episodes.

Even though the Min Jun Gook storyline is central to the whole show and ties the main characters together, this plot was so ridiculous that I wish it could be somehow removed. His motivations and actions, as well as the way the other characters react to him, are so hard to believe that it drags down the whole show.

Lee Bo Young was so charming and fun to watch, that she made up for all the flaws. I would be happy to have a nuna like her. Also, Lee Jong Suk's acting was much better than usual for these typical skinny K-pop pretty boy type roles. He showed a lot of range and sensitivity.

But beyond the deeply flawed Min Jun Gook plot, I wish they had taken more care to portray the workings of the law a little more realistically. So I guess in Korea they don't recuse prosecutors, attorneys, and judges from cases even though they're closely related to the accused or the victims?

Also, I kind of feel sorry for Do Yeon’s birth mom, since she was basically just thrown away like a piece of garbage by the show. Sure, what she did to her husband was terrible, but she did it to give her daughter a better life. It seems like Do Yeon has no interest in her whatsoever even though she’s her real mom. Oh well, maybe she’ll end up hooking up with Do Yeon’s dad, who was also treated poorly by the show at the end, since his marriage seems to be over. Admittedly, both these characters were bad people, but a psycho murderer like Min is treated more sympathetically at the end than these side characters.

Cha Kwan Hoo is a good guy, so hopefully he ends up with Seo Do Yeon or that happy assistant guy in the public defender's office if he decides to swing that way.

If a career in law enforcement doesn’t work out for Soo Ha, he can always become a professional poker player and make billions of won.
