This could have been so much more!
I should be forgiving considering how old this show is, but there too many missed opportunities!
This show is about a kid that witnessed his father being killed, but is saved by a school girl who also testifies on trial helping to put the villain away in jail.
The story was good, but was poorly executed! This show required a darker tone, and for the villain and his actions to remain concealed most of the time to create tension and suspense. The male lead dedicating his whole life and falling in love with the girl from the moment he was saved is something we have seen before.
About the male lead:
Park So Ha seemed like he was going to be a mature and cool guy that regardless of his age would take good decisions based on logic and even strategy, but he ended up being a moodie young kid was was putting up a front, but in the end was immature and hotheaded. He seemed like a guy who had a plan, but ended up being a kid who was influenced by absolutely everything around him. This guy had a superpower, the power of reading minds, which was never relevant through the story; every discovery he makes with his power could have been revealed with tactics or plain strategies and traps.
The female lead:
Jang Hye Sung was a perfect candidate for good character development, but she never really changed until the end, the only thing that changed is that the people around her were not strangers anymore.
The "Love Triangle" guy:
Annoying character with way too much screentime, that won his cases playing America's Got Talent appealing for the feelings instead of the law or evidence, which worked for some reason.
The villain:
He was supposed to be the big bad wolf, but he was just a normal guy that was inflated by his incredible luck to not get captured until the end of the show. His motivations are shown towards the end, but they felt hollow for some reason.
The plot:
I don't think we can call this one a legal drama, but it is supposed to be one. The plot is basically about this bad guy that killed Park Soo Ha's father, how they survive him and how he ends up in jail and paying for his crimes, but we never see actual strategy in trial, plot twists with new evidence or just well written arguments between prosecution and the defenders.
I don't think the show is bad, but once again, I would have appreciated if the male lead was actually mature but scarred; if he did not fall love with the female lead so early; if they broke the love triangle within the first 5 episodes and just took lawyer Cha out of the equation; if there was another lawyer who supported the female lead at a professional level as a lawyer like a big brother or father for her; if instead of making the leads fall in love for no reason and out of nowhere they allowed a few sparks along the way to make sense when they recognize their feelings; and a lot of more ifs.
Enough with the Ifs... This is good show with average acting, below average plot and weak romance.
In the end, we are left unsatisfied and with our time wasted since things never really moved from episode 1.
