I've dropped it without remorse as a matter of principles
This review contains spoilers for the first two episodes so don't read it if you eventually intend to watch the drama.
They say that power ( and money of course) change people.
In reality power and wealth can't change our character. They can give us the chance to manifest what our true character actually is.
This drama tries to depict a bad ass female character.
As bad ass though is considered a character that is daring and fearless, strong and willing to overcome any difficulties.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case for the FL character of this drama who comes out from the very first episodes as person who lacks all sorts of empathy and is misusing her position and power. So this drama is depicting ( from the very first episodes) just a very bad character.
I haven't seen in any series or films such an unlikable character. We see a person that disrespects her colleagues, disheartens and discourages her juniors, is arrogant even towards to her employers ( the phrase towards the president of the law firm "your business is me and I'm your business" says everything about her attitude), slaps people while they are apologizing for their mistakes, disregards anyone who is not in her position, lacks any kind of collaborating spirit with her associates ( in a law firm that is not her own firm), disrespects the profession of a teacher and finally attacks personally, blames and despises the claims of a presumably rape victim in such a cruel and traumatic for this person way that drives it to commit suicide.
I don't know if the writers of this drama thought that these are the traits of a strong and feminist bad ass female character. If that is what they were thinking when they developed this character I can assure them that these are the traits of a narcissistic character, of a person with serious personality disorder and they are not the traits of a person that has any kind of principles or the moral foundations, is dedicated, or skillful and willing to serve, work and succeed in any field, let alone any legal field.
A character like this is an insult for all the emancipated women that try to establish their positions in the higher ups of their field with their skills and hard work.
She is the worst and the most distorted depiction of how women in positions of power are supposed to behave.
But THIS IS NOT HOW POWERFUL WOMEN ARE. It is rather how sexist S. Korean males think that powerful women are supposed to be. Psychos or even worst! lol
Personally now this depiction of female empowerment (in the South Korean style) offends me so much that I'm dropping this drama without remorse and without having the slightest inclination to give it a second chance and watch a few more episodes.
There is not chance for the writers to manage to justify the actions of the FL in the first two episodes. because some of these actions contradict so much with, at least, mine established moral and professional principles that simply can't be justified or be undone with some tricky plot twist.
1 out of 10 from me. One of the worst two episodes that I have ever watched that also made me reevaluate my opinion about S. Korean society in general.
