Leads are guilty of having an unexciting basis of romance, your honor

A revenge-vengeance drama that revolves around the law and legal processes. Subjectively, it may end up having a weak overall impact among other law-based dramas, still, it is clear that they successfully wrap the whole concept in sixteen episodes with a satisfying ending. The star of the show is a well-known lawyer who was portrayed by Seo Hyun Jin, a real gem in the industry. Once again, she gives birth to another memorable character with her intense acting skills and consistently holding a firm grip as Oh Soo Jae. Frankly, the show started in a frail manner but managed to survive during its last few episodes. These episodes lifted the excitement and tension between the protagonist's side and the antagonist team.

However, let me direct your attention to the disappointing chemistry between the leads. Firstly, I am beyond proud to witness Hwang In Youp’s growth with his first lead role in Korean Drama. Regardless of how much of a fan I am, I can’t help but disenchant his character as Gong Chan. It is not as remarkable the way I anticipated it to be. I plead to disappointment that the number one downfall of the show is the romance itself. It broke the blistering atmosphere that the plots had given from time to time. They have poor chemistry in which one looks too mature and the other seems childish in the way he keeps on pestering the other one with his direct and pushy personality. It was uncomfortable to watch a student who crosses the line to pursue his professor. Despite this, there’s a single moment wherein I curled a smile after hearing this line, “My heart is worth 70 million dollars.” It was drunkenly spoken with innocence and cuteness.

I also want to praise the villainous characterization of Heo Joon Ho. This man suited this kind of challenging role but it’s somehow funny that he always had an intelligent son who would betray him later on for the story to progress. I’m speaking with his on-screen children, Yoon Na Moo from Come and Hug Me, and Choi Yoon Sang from this drama. Speaking of which, I grasp my forehead for the second’s lead dissatisfactory ending with almost no closure at all. He immediately vanished after lending help to expose the devil's deeds that his father and brother committed. He contributes almost nothing to the story, but Nam Choon Poong already holds this title. The way they ended up the story may be up for a second season, if and only if the producers and staff behind this decision to have another one.

Nevertheless, I, therefore, conclude that Why Her established a fine trademark in K-Drama for offering Oh Soo Jae, T-K Law Firm, and some of the things that left memories to the audience. It was still a good series because it made me feel irritated and upbeat for its twists, the same way that other legal-based dramas gave me.
