I really enjoyed the plot line of this drama - I was hooked just from the first 2 episodes and ended up trying to finish it as soon as possible while also roping my friends into watching it with me. I haven't watched a legal drama before this one and it was still very interesting and the cases definitely kept me watching, as well as the relationships between the characters. The characters were quite well written and while there were definitely some I wasn't extremely fond of, I appreciate the good writing and acting as the characters all made me feel something. A lot of the minor characters were still fleshed out quite well and I found myself really growing to like the whole prosecutor team and other side characters. 

I liked the mix of comedic and serious moments in each episode and the music definitely contributed to the atmosphere. There was one time that I thought the song choice was odd but most of the time it was good and helped add to the scene. I really like how the dreams relate and connect the past with the present, and how they bring the characters together. I do feel like the dreams were a bit of a too-convenient plot device at some points though, and in one of the later episodes I felt like someone's dream kinda killed the suspense for the next episode. The pacing was fairly good and the events in each episode kept me yearning for the next.

There are some questions that I would've liked to see explained to wrap up the story nicely. Like how did Hongjoo (Suzy) start having these dreams?  Overall, I would definitely recommend this drama. Although there were some weak points, I thoroughly enjoyed the show.
