Great actors but decrease the watch value for its flawed story
Let me first mention some of the lines from this drama that set me clear to a realization of the essence of the court from a layman's perspective.
"Love that surrendered to principle and duty."
"Winning all battles doesn't make you great. What makes you great is when you make the enemy succumb without fighting."
"A trial isn't a means to decide who's right and wrong. It's a means to choose who's being more convincing within the boundaries of the law."
Sadly, this drama failed to meet my expectations. It became uninteresting because of repetitive scenarios every time a new case was assigned. The legendary lawyer got to handle it assisted by his prodigy, then the prodigy's emotional sensibility would get in the way to complicate the case. and in critical moments he would come up with a better solution to fix it. The flow of the story was so flat and didn't heighten my excitement about what to expect next. I didn't like the character of Park Hyung Sik here, an arrogant young man with a special memory recall ability, stubborn with the decision that put him in trouble most of the time and bothered by his weakness bearing an identity of a fake lawyer. I guess I'm just used to seeing lead actors portraying a strong impressive personalities with a small spot of weaknesses. Nevertheless, all the actors acted brilliantly having Jang Dong Gun leading the outstanding cast, and the English song played often in the drama was a perfect choice.
Despite my disappointment in this drama, I've learned a few things from it, informational in the aspect of the law and court proceedings that made me grasp my pen and take a few notes.
