If You have Doubt About the Truth Being Real, Out Defendant' Will Give You the Answer
'Defendant' is very intense, and our convicted hero seldom has time to truly relax since the maniacal villain appears to have a mole lurking in every location. This proves that you cannot always escape difficult and painful trials of life just because you look great, wear the best clothes, drive the latest car, live in a fantastic setting, and that your spouse in equal to all you bring to the marriage. AS IF!
I needed occasional stretch breaks to loosen my tight muscles from the tension this drama. Yes, there were some light moments in the life of our hero, Senior Prosecutor Park Jung Woo (played by Ji Sung), but his emotion rides a roller coaster of from trauma to grief – around, then up and down, then round gain – repeating every few months. He’s caught in a cycle from complete forgetfulness to opening new bits of memory. We are not certain if there is a fix to his current situation or not. Each time, he discovers his location, yet learning the reason he is in that place causes his trauma to repeat. Will it matter what he learns it he can stop the repetitions?
A large part of the mystery is whether healing will occur with no professional help available. And then, there are those important people deeply vested in maintaining his status quo. I confess! I almost quit watching because his dilemma seemed hopeless and going NOWHERE fast!! 'Defendant’ is NOT an easy drama to watch because it's a realistic portrayal of poor investigations, mistaken assumptions (aren’t most?), mistrials, anger, hatred, grudges, sheer meanness, pettiness, and other human challenges. If you want or are looking for some easy, forgettable entertainment, PLEASE go AWAY! Who wants to read complaints from people who are unable to enjoy anything requiring patience and interest beyond an easy, "quick-fix love story with Many Hot Kisses!!"
On the other hand, if you are interested in moments of pure grace, unexpected kindness, dorky humor, and open-handed generosity, watch this series!! You will feel great afterward and experience joy. Even if rightness exists less in our current world, there are times when financially struggling people get a break, injured people are helped by strangers, and the innocent are set free.
'Defendant' is NOT boring!! I was so furious at the villain and a suborned helper, that if I'd been the Judge, lighting striking them wouldn't have been good enough! About that time, my conscience stirred and I was again reminded - with a possible headache - that I'm not God, nor a real judge, and ultimately, forgiveness is a far healthier choice for viewers (than acting like a German Shepherd with strangers at the door!) The villain is a better Vader than Darth!! Watch the drama for Ji Sung riveting performances that won him three top awards. (The villain received one: "Character of the Year.")
'Defendant' is extremely intense, tightly controlled, except for some terrible driving, brilliantly written story and dialog, clever people, affecting performances by all, and a harsh cat/mouse game playing throughout the entire story. Nothing is over until the end of the 18th episode. Have fun!!
