The dramaaaa

Living for the drama this little trip brought. Honestly, I think this show is overdramatic and frustrating at times, but I can't deny that the drama is making up for it and making it fun to experience. Jooah's whole altercation with her assailant was hard to sit through because I feel like it really showed some of the issues I have with female characters in kdramas. This isn't me trying to victim blame at all, because obviously people can make odd choices when they panic and are in fight or flight mode, but I feel like there's more logical things that a woman in that situation would do, like instead of hiding quietly, I feel like most would run screaming as loud as possible to get someone's attention for help, and then when she was saved by Joon she wasted a lot of time just breathing and not saying anything or trying to point the guy out. He was still caught so that it doesn't change much, but it just kind of painted her as really incapable. And then the crying when Minho found her...this is more a nag on the acting, because the crying makes sense, but she was crying more like a whining baby rather than a woman experience and intense combo of fear, relief and trauma. And they moved on a little too fast for me, like emotionally anyway. But it made sense for them to move the plot forward. And I'm very intrigued as to what Joon is up to regarding Minho's apps that he develops. Haneul accidentally hugging Rosa while drunk was ridiculous, but I love it and Jooah kissing Joon, while stale, was also giving bc I just know Joon is up to something and Minho is gonna have a reaction to this.

The action omg

This was definitely very climactic and action packed. Had to suspend my disbelief for some scenes (like Tawan getting shot but surviving bc of his bulletproof vest I mean come on), but overall great. A lot of reveals and twists and deaths. The mole being the guy Perth plays (can't remember his name for the life of him) was really surprising because I really don't remember seeing his character very often at all. But he died so I guess we move on. Porchay and Kim/Wik (haven't figured out which name is correct yet lol) aren't my fave pairing because I spent this whole time not trusting Kim/Wik (I still don't know if I should) and I thought it was waaaay too soon for Porchay to be dropping "I love you", but it is what it is. Vegas captured Pete and is torturing him and I feel so bad for not trusting him lol I guess we have to save Pete now because Porsche and Kinn are reunited, but Vegas and his dad are still threats. Honestly, if I were Porsche I would be much more upset at the fact that my boyfriend locked me up because he believed the words of his crazy ex-boyfriend who was back from the dead. But I'm glad they seem to have worked past that at least. I know I complained a lot, but I promise I really did love this episode, the pacing and energy was great. I'm so ready for the next episode.

Lowkey gripping lol

Another great one, this lowkey really had me lol I do NOT trust Tawan one bit, I can tell he's plotting. I feel like he's working with Vegas, but I don't know how yet. I did like the few moments we got with Porsche and Kinn, but I hate how easiily Kinn started to suspect Porshce. I know he has trust issues but god. Tawan and Vegas are really trying to ruin things. I also am suspecting Pete, like they keep saying there's another mole and he's kind of suspicious to me now I don't know...anyway good episode, I'm sure I still missed some things like always because I am wondering if they ever explained how Tawan was alive after supposedly getting shot by Kinn?? But whatever I guess, we move.

Introduction to Characters

I enjoyed this first episode for demonstrating the beginnings of Young Woo and how she becomes an attorney. This first episode gives us scenes about her home life growing up, the prejudice she faces at work, and her capabilities of being an amazing attorney. She is not "ordinary" to the other characters and tbh she isn't! She pushes to find the truth, is very observant of her surroundings, and always tries to do what's right by her clients. The others seem to be stuck looking at what's already there, where Young Woo is set on looking beyond. People treat her like a kid or see her as stupid at times and this is upsetting. I'm glad that Young Woo has a best friend (Ra Mi) who understands her and doesn't treat her as lesser than. I'm really enjoying this show and look forward to future episodes.

My least favourite episode of this series yet

Where’s my whales? Cmon there wasn’t any whale in actual episode! Kidding aside it was good character building episode for young woo but at the same time it was different from first four episodes because first four episodes were wholesome while this one simply wasn’t! First of all case here wasn’t much gripping plus episode was lacking in normal amount of humour we got in first four. Watching Young woo taking a route to become winning attorney rather than being righteous attorney was just uncomfortable! That rival lawyer guy is just such a jerk, I don’t know how young woo’s friend has crush on such jerk! And I know seeing this is Kdrama he will come around as a good guy but it doesn’t change the fact that still I want to punch him once ! And way too less screen time for Jun ho and senior attorney both my favourite characters barring Young woo herself! At least we saw some bonding moments between young woo and female attorney. But looking at the preview of episode 6 young woo is going to get jealous of her closeness with junho in next episode

One Stars

ironically find this funny and as this not a comedy, that isn't a good thing - well it is to me, cause i'm highly entertained. have to say all the talk about not being satisfied, needing to beat the living daylights outta someone, and other then cuddle what has Kamol done? all that big talk about BDSM has amounted to a lot of fluff, where his "lover" is reenacting a scene from the 1500's. with Kim as leading lady that needs to be wooed, sweet talked and pamper at every turn - Kamol's nonexistent mobster persona, has dwindled down to whipped man being lead by the nose *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but have to say Kim is another one, that i'm rolling my eye's at - 1st off how big of a pushover is Itt that he not only opens his house to a man he knows is in-love with his man. he walks in on them holding hands intimately - they jump apart and he still wondering about what to cook them - what?!? how understanding r gay men?!? cause i wouldn't be cool, calm or collected in that situation. would kick Kim to the curb where he deserves to be - dude has some balls still going to hold Day's hand, after he looked Itt in the face and asked to stay at their place. that a d*ck move that made him just obnoxious.

this drama feels so wholesome, hard not to like the character's (even though starting to worry about the girl's that r fan-girling over Shin, seen too many BL's where the root of all trouble start with jealous females. so hope i'm wrong and that comes to not). but love the relationship between Shin and Minato, the push and pull given their personalities and age difference, is just satisfying to watch. usually the age thing is brushed aside and in a blink becomes a nonissue (which personally i detest, cause it isn't nothing) so glad finally we get a mature POV dealing with it. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this ep can be summed up as adults think about the consequences, while teens live in the moment - Minato is interested and flattered but he a realist, and knows he can't allow himself to get distracted. cause he will have to face the consequences (some he mentioned, others he didn't - this topic for sure aint not black and white) so i get him. and i think the reason he went to the reunion was to figure out if he still felt the same for Sakuma Sensei (not just hormones, like he told Shin). i love that he puts thought into his words and actions. to me that means he isn't making light of Shin's feelings. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************had a feeling Asuka was interested in Shin, but wasn't 100% sure. this time with that offer i'm sure he curious and if Shin was up for it, they would be together. but as Shin isn't, he laughed it off. bottom line think he's gay and just ready to experiment.
