This was not at all what one might expect from the title or from the official blurb. To start with, it is not a legal drama…the characters just happen to be law students and lawyers. A woman is stuck in a dead-end job under a relentlessly picky boss. After getting professionally back-stabbed—at possibly career-ruining levels—by her ex-boyfriend, she gets into an accident and seems to time-travel back 10 years, where she has the chance to try and re-do her years in university.

Her choices end up focusing on her current boss, who appears to be the villain competing for every good thing in her life for years, ever since they studied together as classmates. However, as the “time-travel” part of the show plays out, she realizes that many of the choices he made which seemed to go against her…were actually quiet expressions of his heartfelt care for her. This initially seems like a sci-fi rom-com, but turns out to be a touching slice-of-life melodrama that happens to center around a romance and include moments of comedy. Also deals with societal expectations, grief, and poverty as a decision-driver. All with lots of sweet romantic scenes peppered in.

One of the funnier and more thought-provoking side storylines includes the female lead desperately trying to avoid a guy at university who she knows that she will date and then break up with in the future. But it’s tricky trying to explain to the infatuated guy why she refuses go out with him…without telling him that in the future he will turn from a dedicated sweetheart into a back-stabbing scumbag. If she tells him, would it change his choices? Would it change who he becomes? Or is he unavoidably destined for scumbaggery? Oh, the drama!
