This is one of the hardest reviews I've ever written. I was obsessed with this series for so long and seeing it coming to an end is very sad. I watched the trailer by chance and since then I knew I would have to watch this show. When it came out, I kept thinking about it throughout the week, wishing Friday would come faster. The first 7/8 episodes were god tier for me! Everything was going smoothly, the relationship wasn't rushed, the acting was great and I was so interested in the story that I couldn't look away from the screen for one second! I honestly thought this would be my first 10-star BL.
Unfortunately, the last few episodes weren't all that great and I saw the amazing potential of this drama being wasted in clichés (so many trust issues...), weird editing (I can't deal with all those saliva-cough-swalling-breathing sounds, I'm sorry) and simply... uninteresting.
The plot in the last 4 episodes was a bit pathetic, if I'm being honest. I don't want to spoil anyone but it was SO repetitive and predictable. The couple felt more like a couple before they became a couple (see what I did there? ;)), which made me really sad. I wasn't expecting any explicit scenes (that's not even why I watch BL shows) but I was expecting a little more intimacy.
The acting was good for the most part. Win surprised me with his crying scenes and Bright is just a pleasure to look at (although his angsty expression could make less appearances).
I was interested in the side couples but, just like the main couple, their stories seemed to have ended up no where. Drake... your eyebrows distracted me big time (I love you, I'm sorry).
The friendship in this drama didn't satisfy me one bit. The friends seemed to have disappeared after a few episodes, similar to other characters such as Green. Some of my favorite dialogues included Tine's friends so I was a bit disappointed.
Honestly, if I could describe this show in a word it would be Potentially-Amazing-But-Ultimately-Disappointing (is that more than one word...?). But I couldn't give it less than 8.5stars because of the thrilling first few episodes.
It's still a quick and light drama to watch for those who have some free time. But I was truly wishing this was more than that... oh well, maybe if we get a second season!

I have to admit I didn't find the first two episodes all that special. But as the show progressed and we could see the characters' struggles and pains, as well as their individual personality, the drama got 100 times better!
The plot is quite simple and predictable but the characters stand out so much that the show just makes sense as it is. I liked every single one of the housemates and Seo Do Hyun (he's such a great person, I am rooting for him). I didn't want to skip any scene when they were together. Their struggles connect them to the viewers and distinguish them from the rest; they're very realistic characters.
The music didn't impress me and, even though I just finished watching this first season, I wouldn't be able to recognise any of the songs if you played them to me. But I don't remember the soundtrack annoying me or anything; it's just irrelevant.
I'm certainly going to be watching the second season!

Wow, this was a rollercoaster for me. When I heard about this drama, I was immediately interested, although sci-fi and technological things aren't really my thing. After the first 3 episodes, I was slightly disappointed. The story was kind of boring but I still wanted to watch it because the main lead was so impressive, acting as two different characters. The female lead was good but I wasn't sold yet because her character was hard to like at first (her choices were a bit dumb). I also couldn't understand how an AI could be so loved. After episode 7, things completely changed for me. I was hooked! The last two episodes specifically were amazing! Usually I find the first episodes better than the last but this drama was different: it kept getting better and better. The plot, the action scenes, the pace, the acting! Everyone is such a good actor in this! Plus, all the frustrating things about this drama disappeared as the episodes went by and as things started getting explained (and as we got to know the characters). I cried multiple times watching the last few episodes. All I can say is, if you decide to watch this show and don't find it that interesting please stick with it until episode 7 or 8. I was planning on giving this 8.5 stars but now I'm giving it 9.5 stars! The last four episodes were THAT powerful hahaha. It's very beautiful. That ending scene... the tears kept coming.
It's definitely worth your time so please give it a chance!

I'm not 100% sure why I'm giving this show 9 stars knowing it has many obvious flaws.
I think that what sold the show for me was the concept: the plot is so intriguing and you want to keep watching to get to know the characters better. Also, it is very aesthetically pleasant: the main leads are stunning, everything that's connected to the app/technological part of the show looks great, the sceneries are breathtaking. I also liked the main female lead, which doesn't happen often; she was pitiful but vey strong, in my opinion. I wouldn't have been able to go through everything she has gone through!
However, this show has many flaws. Some of them could be spoilers so I won't mention those. Here are some of them:
1) The friendships: I simply hate the friendships in this show. Whether it's between the girls or the boys. They did things that friends simply would never do (real ones, at least). The two boys look so close but then... I don't know, I didn't like it in the first episode and I didn't like it in the last. The main lead seems very selfish when it comes to the person he likes... I won't go on and on about this because I said I didn't want to include spoilers in my review but I think the show could have done a better job at this since a good friendship is needed in every show.
2) Most of these girls are just mean. Everyone at this school seems very judgemental and mean but the girls in the show are just... yeah, very mean. Which makes it seem a bit unrealistic...
3) Some parts of the plot were frustrating. Hopefully everything will be clarified in the second season.
I really do hope that the second season solves these issues because I'm giving this show 9 stars counting on the next season. I wish this was 16 episodes from the start like it usually is because 8 episodes aren't enough to develop the characters and create a good story; something is obviously missing but I'm counting on the second season to fill up the gaps. If that doesn't happen, I'll probably lower my score!

This is one of those dramas I can't properly digest. It was annoying, frustrating, made me roll my eyes 19838 times, made me CRY (like three times), made me feel bad for the characters and judge them at the same time... I honestly don't know how to rate this, so I decided to combine both my opinions: the objective one that KNOWS this show is bad, and the subjective one that made me watch this until the end.

I'll start with my objective opinion on this show and list some of the reasons why I think this was pretty bad:

-Oh Ha Ni is a terrible female lead. I'm not one of those people who analyse every detail of a drama and always find some form of misrepresentation or something else to complain about. I recognise that every human is flawed and, therefore, I don't mind a flawed character. But Oh Ha Ni... I don't even know where to start! How could she like the coldest person in the world, that kept being mean to her, kept rejecting her and hurting her feelings, and not even notice Bong Joon Gu, who actually did something to show how much he loved her? That isn't love, that's obsession. And honestly, both Ha Ni and Joon Gu were in the wrong for pursuing someone who wasn't interested in them. However, Joon Gu is one of the flawed characters I don't mind because he had some redeeming characteristics, such as his determination and the fact that at the end he moved on from Ha Ni and followed his dream of being a chef (something he worked hard for). Ha Ni? What did she do the whole drama apart from following Seung Jo around and being nothing other than a desperate girl? She literally- literally- studied to become a nurse just because her boyfriend was studying to become a doctor. Who does that? Did the manga writer or the drama director think that was a proof of her love? To me that's just a proof of how empty and dumb her character is. I know the actress did her best with what she had but I think the acting wasn't that great either.

-The plot is ridiculous. To be fair, I can accept the house's destruction and them living temporarily at the friend's house. But when they moved out, they literally moved back in in less than one episode!!???? I liked Seung Jo's mother, to be honest, but when she insisted that Ha Ni came back to her house, I had to stop myself from throwing my laptop against a wall. Is it weird that it upset me so much? I don't mind ridiculous plots (it's fiction, right?). But when the plot is so bluntly used to create this unrealistic (and creepy) relationship between the characters, I can't accept it because to me that's just lazy. Wouldn't their relationship be able to progress if they didn't live in the same house? Many things upset me about the plot, actually haha. The sudden wedding? I laughed out loud at how ridiculous that was.

-Huh... character development? Who is she?
Ha Ni and Seung Jo's relationship after getting married was even worse than before. I was SO mad at Seung Jo most of the time, I can't even put my anger into words. When they were buying things for their- ridiculously spontaneous- wedding, he refused to help Ha Ni choose and was obviously uninterested and kept complaining. If my husband-to-be acted like that he would stay as a husband-to-be because I certainly wouldn't marry him! I felt bad for the girl for like two seconds and then got mad at her too for accepting that behaviour. At the beginning, I was so excited for Seung Jo's development because I have a thing for cold characters who change their... douchebagness when they recognise their feelings and actually try to improve and be a better person. I was hoping he would learn how to respect Ha Ni and behave like a boyfriend/husband, but that never happened. I liked the fact he tried to encourage Ha Ni to do her own thing- well, do SOMETHING. He scolded her when she got bad grades and said some things that I completely agreed with (he reminded me so much of my boyfriend, whose name is Baek Seung Jae LOL). I don't think he was being mean: he just confronted her with her own mistakes and, even though he didn't comfort her at the end with a hug or warmer words (which he should have), in that scene I could feel he was trying to make her wake up and do something with her life. But then he manipulated her by using their marriage registration! That's disgusting to me! He has so much potential- one of the scenes that made me cry was when he took the initiative to visit Ha Ni's mother when everyone forgot about it (how?????). He was so cool when he stood up for himself when his father confronted him about his future and then when he took over his family's business and saved it. But then... argh, it's soooo frustrating. This is wasted character development at its best (or worst lol).

There are many more things that annoyed me, but if I mentioned them all I'd be here all day. With all that said, did I hate this show? Surprisingly, I didn't. I was certainly unsatisfied and, if I'm being honest, I don't even know what I DID like. But I'm trying to think of this show as an oldie and judge it for what it is: a cheesy love story adapted from a manga. Maybe I'll change my rating later (to way worse or way better- it depends on how it digests!). But for now I'll settle at a 6.5!

After 7 months (I started watching this in September), I finally completed this drama. Yes, you heard (read lol) well: 7 months! I don't know why it took me so long to finish this show, because the quality of the cast, the production, the action scenes etc is undeniable. I did end up giving it 9 stars. But it wasn't a drama that grabbed me to the point I was obsessed. I would watch it every now and then, two episodes at a time, and then not watch it for a while. For that reason, I can't give a 10. Also, I must admit that the last 2 episodes disappointed me quite a lot. It was way too fast-paced and the ending didn't satisfy me because it was underwhelming and we didn't get to see how the relationships between some characters developed after the revelations. Nonetheless, I really loved the story and the characters. The side-characters were amazing! The ajumma and the young girl were great, the lawyer father and the ex-inmates were hilarious, the bad guys were interesting and everyone was profissional and acted superbly well. It's for that reason that I disliked the ending: we didn't get a conclusion for most side-characters which I fell that, in this situation, was very much needed.

I really liked this drama and I hope you'll like it too!

Oh hello there! This is the first time my review is the first one ever here on mydramalist. It's hard to believe there hasn't been any before me; I thought this was quite a popular movie in the 80's, from what I've read.
I have to admit that the reason why I watched such an oldie was because of the 2020 drama challenge. The subbed version I watched wasn't high quality and I couldn't see the actors' faces well most of the time. But for some reason this movie enchanted me in a strange way. Japan is such a beautiful country with a beautiful culture and specially Japan in the 80's is a completely different setting than what I'm used to seeing in dramas. The characters were rather "basic" and "plain" but, at the same time, special. And the same goes for the plot. But the reason this movie had an enchanting, almost nostalgic, feeling to it was probably because of its simplicity, even though the plot may sound quite complicated- it's science fiction after all. It's simple and warm and after watching it I fell asleep immediately (it was 4pm) and dreamed I experienced the same thing as the main character! Before I woke up I felt someone whispering "Don't waste your youth" which is similar to one of the quotes in the movie. I woke up and laughed but I felt quite different.
It's definitely a movie I'll remember and probably rewatch with someone I love, so that they can feel this strange sense of self-awareness too. I somehow already feel attached to this story and setting.

I gave 10 stars to the first season and I'm not sure why I gave this one 9.5 stars instead of 10. The story, the acting, the characters. Everything was incredible. However, I think that the last episode was a bit rushed. Like, the main problem (the zombies) was kind of solved (for 7 years, at least). I wish they had shown them actually solving it, like coming up with a way to annihilate the plague and rebuilding the kingdom. But other than that, I appreciated the fact that they showed more than gore and the attacks. The political aspects of this drama were great. I really liked the queen, as a character. She was purely vicious and that's what made me attracted to her hahaha
This is a great show and I really can't wait for the third season!! Hopefully it will take less than a year to come out.

I watched this show after a friend suggested we watch it together. We were eating ice cream and I was pausing the episodes every ten seconds because every time I saw the main lead my heart would almost stop. His smile is heartbreaking.

I do see the flaws in the plot: unrealistic at times, inconclusive ending for some characters, the way the main lead got over things so abruptly (this is a spoiler-free review so I won't talk about it here). Apart from some plot holes, the ost was rather underwhelming. One song kept playing, over and over again. I get that's the main couple's track and the song itself wasn't bad at all. But after some time it got bothering and took some magic away from the big moments, which I think is the opposite an OST should do. The acing was great but not the absolute best. The main leads did an amazing job at the more emotional scenes though!

Although I noticed all these negative points, there's something SO special about this show that simply makes our hearts race, really. I couldn't stop thinking about it when I wasn't watching it so I watched the whole thing in two days, even finishing it before my friend who watched the first few episodes with me (which is a miracle btw).
The robot was the cutest thing ever, the female lead was sooooo likeable and talented, the main lead was so stunning and amazing at acting that I will never forget his face and name again, the side-characters and their development were great... The show was very well casted.
Honestly, some of my ratings are purely based on how many feelings the show gave me and that's okay. This is a perfect example of an imperfect drama that simply captures your heart and ends up on your top favourites list.

Definitely worth rewatching and rewatching and rewatching. I wish more people had given it a chance, it really deserves more love and praise.

I didn't intend to write a review for this drama because one user who I had the chance to talk with in my feeds has already said everything I thought was wrong with the plot and the characters (Kate, your review is iconic). In her review, the terrible mental health representation and the abuser behaviour was extremely well explained so I suggest you all to go read it (the review was posted in January 2020, user KATE). But I decided to add a few things so that I could explain my rather high rating. So everything I write in this review will be a continuation of what she said.

First things first, I don't know how so many people are able to look past the obvious train wreck that is the plot. Yes, the chemistry is great but does it justify the "uncomfortable scenes" in this show? The scene that bothered me the most was the one where Tharn kisses and touches Type while he is drunk and sleeping; it simply doesn't match Tharn's personality and if the writer and the director's intention was to make it hot and get our hearts racing they certainly did that... my heart was racing with FURY. The fact that Type kept punching Tharn despite him being the man he loves and sleeps with every night made me really angry as well. Is violence okay just because you're jealous and furious? I am praying that the plot is different in season 2 because by the last episode the characters did seem to have developed as human beings and as lovers.

Although the transitions were super strange and we didn't know how much time had passed from one scene to the other (like how did Type suddenly offer to be a bottom in a sexual intercourse with a gay man that he clearly despised?? Wasn't he traumatised?? What????), I enjoyed the pace of the show. It wasn't boring, that's for sure.

I think the actors did the best they could with the plot they were given. The acting was decent and the chemistry between the main leads was great, which gets me to talk about the three main reasons why I gave this show a decent rating:

1- the secondary characters. I loooooved Techno so much! So funny and endearing. The parents were great. The girl Type was trying to seduce wasn't a villain, like they usually are in BL shows, and I appreciated it. Even characters that I didn't particularly like (like Tar) were important to the plot. The ones that weren't relevant to the plot made me laugh (the Korean guy and his roommate were super funny). So yeah, I really liked it.

2- the fact that this is within the Love by Chance universe. I looooove Love by Chance and it was super cool revisiting this universe. Some characters even appeared at the beginning and at the end and I was so happy! My heart was warm. I hope LBC2 and TharnType2 continues with the series crossing thing, it's really fun.

3- Mew. Just Mew. Mew Mew Mew Mew. Oh boy, that man made me feel THINGS. Every time he breathed I had a mini heart attack. When he played the drums I almost couldn't watch it because of how hot he was. His hands....... enough said. When he SMILED???????? haha.............. *sweating intensifies*. The scene where he was playing with his band and smiling and mouthing the lyrics and Type was looking at him and his eyes were shining... I....... I couldn't not give it at least 7 stars, I'm sorry. Mew is amazing and so is Tharn. EXCEPT FOR THE ALMOST RAPE SCENES. I'm sorry but it's so out of character that it genuinely frustrates me. I'm not trying to find excuses for Tharn's behaviour just because Mew is the hottest man in Thailand, by the way. I really do think these "almost-rape scenes" were there to make it more appealing and sexy for some people, which ended up ruining the show for me, and the sneaky/mischievous behaviour truly doesn't fit Tharn's character at all, in my opinion.

Ooof, now I can breathe.
Will season 2 justify these 7.5 stars and prove I was right about the character development and a promising, healthy, less train wreckish plot? I don't know. Honestly, all I have to say right now, in case you didn't get at what point I love this man, is: Mew; the power that this man holds.

From now on only Korea is allowed to make zombie movies and series. I said what I said. (Lol please don't take it too seriously!)
This show has received a lot of amazing reviews and attention from audiences that aren't typically asian drama watchers and that only proves this show's ability to surpass language and cultural barriers and capture everyone's hearts and keep us at the edge of our seats.
There are many amazing reviews already that express my feelings perfectly but I'll still say a few words for each category, in case whoever is reading this still isn't convinced.

The plot is absolutely AMAZING, BRILLIANT, EXCITING, GENIUS etc etc. It really doesn't get any better than this. The whole story is so intriguing, heartbreaking and incredibly cruel, as it portrays the biggest flaws of humanity. The writer and everyone involved in the production of the series did an incredible job at criticising our day's society through 1) a story about an epidemy that transforms people into flesh-craving monsters 2) set in the Joseon era, centuries before our present time. It's truly outstanding.

The cast is simply brilliant. I believed every actor, every emotion, every expression. I'm ashamed of not knowing these fantastic actors before this drama. I have to check their other works out!
The characters were so complex and raw that I found myself submerged in the story and living their adventures as if I was their companion. That's how realistic they were. Forget about all the stereotypes surrounding heroes and nation saviours: these people are trying to survive, not always in the most selfless way. I loved every single one of them. The fact that the Crown Prince is genuinely doing his best and beyond to help those people and be different from the selfish and coward "important" people is remarkable. I loved his character development; it might seem very small and irrelevant compared to the magnitude of the events, however, he is the one who has the power to save them all. The "small changes" in his character by the end of the season were so meaningful and completely relevant to the plot. I don't think there are any side characters as they all play very important roles and they're all PHENOMENAL, whether I loved them or hated them.

The music increased the tense sensation on my stomach and made me literally jump sometimes. It was so well chosen that I can't give it less than 10 stars.

The more I think about this drama, the more I love it and watch to rewatch it. I'm so glad I chose to give it a chance and I certainly don't regret it. I'll probably rewatch it before the new season stars... that's how obsessed I am!

I'm not a horror fan and I'm still scared of historical dramas thanks to my lack of knowledge and experience with these shows, but Kingdom was able to make my mind work at an incredible speed for two days and every time that I wasn't watching it I was thinking about watching it. Powerful show, in many ways. It deserves the 10 stars and I will happily add it to my favorites list.

I have to admit I was really excited to watch this drama because everyone mentions it as one of the best BL’s out there. I can’t believe it took me so long to watch it.
I’m so glad I did because it was great. The story was simple but I liked the way we got to know the characters in so little time (it’s only 4 episodes, after all). At first it looked like it was going way too fast, something I don’t particularly like, but then it slowed down and I started liking it more. Episodes 3 and 4 were amazing, I was really into the two couples!
I don’t want to spoil anyone but I have to mention the amazing last scene!! Simple but sooooo well acted (you know what I mean if you’ve watched it ;)). No awkwardness between the actors, we truly felt how much the characters had grown, simply beautiful.
The second couple’s ending scenes (the last two scenes in which they appear) MADE ME SCREAM SO HARD ONGOMGOMGONG I LOVE THEM!!!!!?????!??? Yep, that’s the type of feeling. A second season is seriously mandatory.
I didn’t pay attention to the music that much but I liked how it fit some moments of the drama perfectly, like it even matched the character’s movements. It made the scenes more emotional. The last song that played is really pretty as well.
I’ll certainly rewatch this. I can’t not to! This is in the top 3 best History series for me. History 2 was like a miracle after History 1. I never thought the quality of the series would increase this much from one season to another!

These days I’m starting to rate BL’s as “normal” dramas, because the quality in acting and script is increasing, so it doesn’t feel like just a badly written story about two gay characters but a story in which the characters happen to like the same gender. Which I really appreciate. I’m not sure if I expressed this correctly, it was not my intention to offend anyone! Anyways, I really like this drama and I rated it as I would rate a non-BL drama. For a show released before 2019, when Bl’s quality started increasing significantly imo, it’s an amazing rating.
I really hope we get a second season because we need more scenes with both in a relationship!!! Please!!! It’s a need!!! Survival is in risk!!! I hope they do it like they promised even if it seems as though there are some problems occurring. Anyways, if anyone knows if there’s a novel out there, please let me know! And to those of you who haven’t watched this: please do! You will not lose your time.

Uh... why is everyone giving this drama less than 6 stars?? The most helpful comment gave it 4 stars!! I’m truly shocked. Why did I like it this much when so many people hated it??

Well, I’ll try to write a coherent review that will explain why I really liked this drama despise its evident flaws (I am confused myself hahaha).

So, let’s start with the plot. Hm... how can I put this... there was SO MUCH MORE they could have done with it. A whole world was created and it felt like it was completely wasted. There were some plot holes that I noticed -and I usually don’t mind these things A LOT because I don’t really analyze every single plot line but I noticed them this time and it kind of bothered me. I wish we had more explanations like why did Habaek have access to his powers when Soah was in danger??
Although most people say the show was boring but I can’t completely agree. It was tremendously wasted, that’s for sure. But the occasional humor really made me laugh out loud. Being chased by a wild pig (ok I don’t now what it’s called), the drivers license scene, Habaek asking for money....... there were a lot of funny scenes, which I think not a lot of people have mentioned.
The ending was bittersweet because SooAh is going to die anyways and he will live forever as the king of the gods... I think the ending could have been a thousand times more interesting than that. The final scene didn’t even feel like the last scene because of how underwhelming it was. She could have ended up with the CEO for example! Or no one at all! Or Habaek could have really disappeared (even if I would have cried my eyes out for three hours and I would have never forgiven the writer).

Now it’s time for the characters! Let me get this out of my chest: my favorite character was the CEO. There, I said it. I always like the “good” characters and the fact that he went through all of that and still tried his best at being a human... The only times I cried were whenever his past was mentioned.
I didn’t like Moora’s character. Nor Bi Ryeom’s most of the time. Nor Ja Ya’s.
The acting was overall satisfactory but the main leads were somewhat disappointing. I do think they acted according to their characters but sometimes it really felt like they were acting. The smiling and the kissing were really good though!
I also think some of the secondary characters weren’t needed but oh well.

The music was great. It really fit the whole vibe of the show. Glass Bridge is a work of art. The whole OST is a masterpiece, to be honest.

Would I make myself go through the pain of rewatching a show whose plot is severely lacking? Yes, yes I would.

I decided to add this drama to my to watch list because of Nam JooHyuk but the rating and all the negative reviews made me not want to watch it without some mental preparation. One year later I finally picked it up and I was once again surprised by how much I enjoy unpopular dramas. I know I mentioned a lot of flaws and you may be wondering why the hell I gave this show 9 stars. Well, because I wanted to. I just feel like giving it 9 stars. I really like shows that are full of fantasy, I’ve noticed. I loved Goblin, and every show with similar traits pleases me (although this one is way inferior to Goblin, in my opinion). I really like the feeling it leaves me with when I finish it. It’s hard to describe but the feeling that there’s something more than what we see and know, that there is an ending to the suffering. So yeah, 9 stars it is!!

Finally an enjoyable story with a plot that actually makes sense. HIStory 1 was a disappointment (compared to Trapped and MODC) but Right or Wrong was the start of the quality series we know today. (not a lot of spoilers, by the way)

The relationship is very healthy. I personally don't have any prejudice regarding (legal) age gap relationships and it's obvious that none of the ML's were taking advantage of the other. Yo Yo just added even more cuteness to their story; I think the little actress did a great job, her role was heart-warming.
I have to say that some of the acting from the ML's didn't convince me and their kissing scenes were a bit awkward (the last few). You could tell that their lips were just touching, no tongue was involved but they made it look so intense with their mouvements that it simply didn't work.
I really liked the way they helped each other and grew together. In the other HIStory seasons (HIStory 1) the storyline was way too out there and the characters were bad clichés for the most part. In this one, however, I saw a true effort from the writer, the director and the actors to make it look realistic and something other people can learn from.

Overall, I enjoyed this mini-show a lot!

I’m speechless. I was so scared of watching this show because everyone was saying that Suzy couldn’t act. I will never not watch a show because of what other people say again!!! Suzy did an incredible job, this character really suited her. Lee Jong Suk..... as expected he was fantastic. His characters are always the good cool funny guy that everyone loves but he does it so well I’ll never grow tired of it. And our sweet Haein was amazing, I loved his character so much!! All the prosecutors, the villains, the families... amazing characters that were portrayed as humans, not simply drama characters. The music... I simply can’t put into words how much I loved every track! The plot sold it for me: it was interesting, there wasn’t any boring episode, all the cases frustrated me just as much as the characters!! Because of this show (and “Punch”(2014)) I suddenly want to study law and become a prosecutor. It’s this type of dramas I love. It deserves all the hype it got. I will forever remember it.
