A short one time watch that you'll forget soon...

So I watched this for Sanha and I think he did decently considering it's his first real acting gig on his own but it felt like a very stoic character for him to play. Chanmi did well too but I felt like her character barely showed any emotion or reaction to the events around her. I will say there was a lot that was awkward about this, like how they made his character older than Chanmi's and strange flow of dialogue. I think many web dramas suffer this issue where the short episodes feel choppy and the storyline is left undeveloped in many places. Specifically the characters were just there and there was little time to understand their backstory or even connect to them. One thing I did enjoy was the theme of women playing soccer and despite having no interest in soccer, it did capture my interest in that area. I'm biased but I'd like to see Sanha act in something different that's more suited to his age and with a character that is more fleshed out! Overall this is just like my title, it's short so you can watch it in like half an hour all together to briefly entertain but there's nothing that would hold your interest longer than those 30 minutes.

As someone who has seen 2 seasons of the original Suits I cannot say that this remake was better or superior than it's predecessor. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the acting from both PHS and JDG as well as the storyline, so I can't knock this series entirely. Although you may find some aspects of Suits boring, it picks itself up and really powers itself to the end with vigor.
One of the most endearing aspects of the show is watching Yeonwoo and Kang Seok's relationship develop into a fruitful bromance and I can say this is what binds the show together and makes it that much more compelling to watch. The biggest factor that made me want to continue watching was how it took the cases from the original and molded it so that it fit Korean culture as well as bringing an unique spin to every situation, allowing viewers of the American Suits to feel that they weren't just watching a scene-by-scene copy of the original. Every episode has a take home message and displays the morals of every person in the show, as a lesson to viewers and I really appreciate the dedication to detail with the quotes and the consistency of the story writing. Perhaps a Season 2 is unlikely in K-drama world but I definitely would not be against the prospects of one if it is as fun as Season 1.
