Wonderful but with Some Unanswered Questions
I watched this drama as it was running and looked forward to each new episode, always a good sign. There are a few minor flaws but overall, this is a wonderful show. The premise of an autistic attorney working in her first job and dealing with the challenges this brings was really interesting and unique. The portrayal by Park Eun Bin was fantastic. (Not necessarily realistic in the sense that yes, autistic people are exactly like that, but consistent and believable as a character.) All the actors deserved high praise, with a special shout-out to Kang Tae Oh, who portrayed the sweet male lead to perfection.
Apart from the acting, I also liked that the court cases were not your typical serial killer stuff but more mundane and a bit odd even. Some commenters thought they were boring, but I appreciated the uniqueness. Many legal dramas have courtroom scenes that stretch from here to eternity but this one kept them reasonably short and mixed them with scenes in the law office, out in the field doing research (watch out for the truck of doom!), or after work, at home, in the bar etc. There is some romance, and a very, very beautiful first kiss scene, but romance is not the main point, so even people who don’t care for that kind of stuff should be able to enjoy this show.
Now to the flaws, which became more obvious towards the end of the show. This drama obviously focuses on the title character, but forgets to answer some basic questions about the other characters, especially about the male lead. Where does he come from and how is he so wonderful? Why does one of the attorneys turn from total jerk to Mr. Nice Guy? Why did one of the characters not go to the military? (I kept waiting for some dramatic reveal the entire show!) A little more background information about the supporting characters would have been nice, because they are really interesting characters and I would have liked to know more about them.
One more thing: I thought that the last episode was a bit of a let-down, mostly from the romance point of view. Sure, not the main point of the show, but still. Definitely a missed opportunity. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed this drama and can definitely recommend it.
