Worth the watch

It had been on my watchlist for a very long time and I was finally able to finish it. I really enjoyed the drama.

Story: The story was interesting. The plot twists were good. But if you are an avid suspense thriller watcher you could have guessed it. It is not something unthinkable. For most of the story, they focused on small cases still keeping the serial murders as the highlight. I feel the pace was just right and 12 episodes were the suitable no. of episodes. I would have loved to see a bit of romance between the leads but I guess their chemistry satisfied me too.

Characters:
I loved the female lead. She is cool and badass. Initially, she is portrayed as a cold person but gradually we get to see the real her. The one who would risk all her success to help a friend and would go against her rational thinking to protect her client. She faced a lot of revelations throughout the story which shattered her, but she always came out strong and independent. Even though the ML did help her a few times I felt she was capable of getting out of those situations on her own. I am happy that they portrayed her as independent and capable and not made the ML secretly help her or something like that. She made mistakes in the past which she realizes and tries to amend. Jung Ryeo Won did a great job.
The male lead was a mysterious character or that is what the story wanted us to believe. He seems very friendly and righteous on the outside while harboring dark secrets. Ultimately he is the all-good guy who has done nothing wrong. One which has a painful past just like typical kdrama characters. It was a good character but could have been given more depth.
The side characters were portrayed well. Each of them had their own stories and struggles to deal with. It fitted well into the story.
The villains were mostly all bad people. I wish they had shown some story to them as well instead of making them just a typical villain who troubles others for enjoyment. The acting was good but the characters could have been better.

Overall, I felt it was a good mystery law drama and you would enjoy it a lot if you like law or mystery dramas. I would watch it a second time too.
