Better Motivations, and fewer episodes would have made this great
It is a good enough show. It was, in large, part engaging. That tapers off towards the end largely due to the plot not being enough for 16 episodes. I believe this show would have been better condensed even by 2 episodes.
The character motives were fine for some, terrible for others. The ML had a good motive to start but I don't think they did a good job depicting it changing. Him abandoning his win by all means attribute should have meant seeing him become, not only more empathetic, but attempt to do things the right way. This would have helped the plot too, I think, since the challenges of investigating things the right way would be more engaging. The motives of some other characters, like Gi Hoon's dad and the other attorney, weren't quite clear. Like why does the attorney try to help Gi Hoon even risking upsetting his employer? Why does the dad try to sabotage our lead's character for something he didn't seem that involved in.
Talking about the investigation, I feel it was largely weak. Many times, things just seemed to fall into place for our protagonists. The villains start of seeming too competent but then that's no longer the case.
The ending is, again, mostly good. I like that they couldn't find evidence to nail the main culprit. It is more real that way. However, it is weakened by the decision to kill him off so cheaply. The antagonist going insane would have been more powerful ending.
I also didn't like that the other villain kids, Gi Hoon and the Ye Ri, get away with their crimes (I know Ye Ri is no longer an idol) . I would have loved to see them at least recognize their wrongs and work to fix them gradually for them to get a peaceful resolution. I am a sucker for redemption stories, but they ought to be earned and not as immediate as in the final episode.
I also didn't like how cheaply Tae Ra was killed. I know it would have affected the ending we got, but I feel the show would have done better to focus on her death a little more, maybe her mom too. Perhaps having the mom kill Beom Jin would have been better.
