I want to like this but it's not clicking for me. The leads are good individually (first time watching this actress in a lead role and she is pretty natural), but they honestly look more like siblings together lol. I'm not really enjoying it after the first few episodes where they were students. That isn't to say it is bad though, it's just not for me.

It definitely doesn't look like a social satire lol

Well, her character is probably older since she's his superior

It's been a while since I actually enjoyed an office romcom, hopefully this one doesn't disappoint.

I guess the logic behind this is not perfect but the main reason why the detective decides to go with her confession is because he is that desperate for a promotion. He went against his principles and took Sarah's deal. If you notice the details, he actually felt something in common with her (having to work up from the bottom)

Once they prove that the body isn't Sarah Kim (or that she is Sarah Kim), her confession to murdering Sarah Kim is proven false. After which they wouldn't have much to work with as 1) they don't have the DNA evidence to prove her to be Kim Eunjae/Sarah Kim 2) No evidence that she committed murder apart from her confession.

Even if they prove that she is Sarah Kim, the likely scenario would be that they could only investigate her for fraud but not prove that she committed murder.

Unfortunately, I found it a little dull and it didn't pique my interest. I think the male lead is just too bland character-wise.

He's a unique actor with a unique sounding voice.

I've also watched her since her days of having a few minutes of screen time per episode of a drama. I recently rewatched Stranger and the growth since then is amazing.

He definitely looks more matured compared to the last time I saw him.

They actually look quite fitting together from these stills, which is kinda unexpected lol. Meanwhile, I'm a bit skeptical about the office scandals part but it does sound different.

He got haughty and didn't think of a backup plan in the case that the tissue sample wasn't there, which is what Sarah Kim would do in any situation.

This is a very well-written series review that put the deeper meaning of this show into words:

Sounds like you're right actually!

My opinion is that it's not horrible but not gripping enough. I found myself losing interest here and there despite liking the beginning. Overall, the philosophical core wasn't strong enough to sustain an 8-episode series and I felt that it should have been a movie instead. 6/10

I'm confused but will watch the next eps.

Rather than it being custom made for her, I felt like she made it her own. The highlight was that she looked like a genuine and trustworthy businesswoman, not a hint of slyness despite being a con artist. The result could have been very different if the role was played by someone else

I think this was one of her best shows and performances. Glad it is a success

I'm assuming you already finished watching the show:

No, the dead person is Kim Mijeong. SHS's character killed her and pretended to be her at the end, claiming she killed Sarah Kim. If she admitted to being Sarah Kim, she would be investigated for both identity theft and fraud, and Boudoir's name would be smeared. Thus her decision would protect both Sarah Kim and Boudoir's legacy while she sacrifices 10 years in jail.

The Art Of Sarah is actually performing very well, it's currently first place in more than 30 countries.
