During the first few episodes of this show, I realised that no matter how much I liked Park Hyungsik and wanted to support his work, I couldn't get into it. It has a reallyyyyy slow start, the first couple of episodes are very boring, especially when you've watched the original 'Suits'. It's like watching the same thing over again, however it's not executed as well as the original, this made me drop the show for some months. However after I picked it up again due to sheer boredom, the show got exciting at about episode 8 and I was able to binge it (we all know binging a show means that you're really enjoying it).

In the beginning, the characters may not seem as exciting or as fitting with the original American cast, but they grow on you. Now I know why Jang Dong-gun is highly praised for his acting, he is so convincing. Park Hyungsik (the reason I started the show) also impressed me a lot, he proved that he could be dynamic with his acting and his facial expressions were always fitting with the mood. The only main character I have a slight problem with their acting is the character of Hong Da-ham (Donna's character), she seemed to always have the same facial expression and her sass was overbearing at times. The actress that portrayed Kim Ji-na may not have been on par with that of Meghan Markle's Rachel but she certainly presented a different version of the character that was pleasing to see. She did not merely copy the character of Rachel but twisted it to a slightly different character, which I liked. Another character that deserves high praises is that of Ham Gi-taek, I believe that the actor (Kim Young-ho) portrayed the role even better than his American counterpart; Daniel Hardman. I also enjoyed watching the bromance between Yeon-woo and Kang-seok.

The music was decent and fitting with the scenes and it is understandable that the there aren't as many OST's as this is a more serious drama.

I enjoyed the (second half of the) show, it was very pleasant. The tragic moments felt very real and truly shook me, thereby portraying great acting skills by the actors. The comedic moments made me chuckle too. Regarding the ending, I am a bit unsettled at how we didn't get to see a Yeon-woo and Ji-na reunion after he came out of jail. That missing aspect makes their relationship seem less realistic to the audience, considering the fact that their love story was not very convincing anyway. It seemed like Yeon-woo was too focused on his work to put work into the relationship but the writers still wanted us to believe that he was obsessed with her. Anyway, I guess there's only so much that can be fit into 16 hours (if only they hadn't wasted the first 8 episodes with boring scenes). I really liked how certain themes were incorporated throughout the show, that of weakness and 'the rabbit' lol.

If you've watched the original suits, I don't think you'd be missing anything by skipping the first few episodes because it's the exact same incidences and the characters in this one aren't very likeable at first. Furthermore, there isn't much character development in the beginning, so save yourself the time and skip it. However, I would recommend Suits Korea.
