So, finally caught up. So sad , but I see such growth in Woo. She is actually thinking would she make Jun Ho happy or would he be lonely. She is thinking beyond herself. But I did cry.

2022-08-12 06:00:09 +0000 UTCJust binged up through episode 12 in the past three days and am loving this series. I saw a meme online that was comparing Young Woo and Jun Ho to that sort of Jane Austen vibe.... where they get so close that you can just feel your heart racing for them and the tension is there in that super apprehensive way. If there's one thing that I think this series is missing it's the opportunity to deep dive and build arcs around some of the secondary characters. I'd love to see more of Young Woo's BFF, for instance. Would love a secondary romance in here somewhere!

2022-08-04 07:13:12 +0000 UTCSo just finished the newest episode. I love how they are allowing Yoong Woo to question herself in some things. Like how to get around letting the wife know the husband's plans, and that all her clients are not going to be above being scumbags. I adore Joon Ho. He seems all in and even researching so he knows kind of what to expect and how to help. His being kind of blunt and honest with Young Woo so she stops and think how he is feeling. She hasn't done that before. I agree that the jerk co worker is really good. Waiting a week is hard, but seeing the show I was hooked from the first. It is fast becoming a top ten favorite.

2022-08-03 21:14:30 +0000 UTCI don't necessarily think the show wanted us to sympathize with the pied piper. I think they wanted us to understand him, and also understand why the judge convicted him. I really appreciate that they don't win every case, and there are so many complex layers to each episode.

2022-08-02 03:14:33 +0000 UTCNOOOOOOO!!! The release dates in Germany are different! Netflix here has only up through Episode 6. I tried my VPN, and no dice. I am going to need to find another way.

2022-08-01 19:05:24 +0000 UTCI’m loving everyone’s take on this show and these episodes. I think the show is so well done even with the recent seeming missteps. I’ll only add that I don’t love how the various mothers are being portrayed. The kidnapped kids’ moms were portrayed fairly badly, the defendant in episode 10’s mom portrayed as controlling. Young Woo’s mom —> ack. Though I can forgive that one because it’s a core part of the story and she’s a really complex and fascinating character to me. On a very positive note I’m loving that Junho is being presented as a solid nice guy. While I’m now ready to understand more about him, I’m just thankful for awesome nice guy vibes. I generally love the wounded chaebol-types like crazy but this is soooooo refreshing.

2022-08-01 01:52:16 +0000 UTCI really like your take, Heather. Should we have felt sympathy for the defendant or not? It seems the writers purposely left us with an ambiguous answer on the relationship between the defendant and victim, which I suppose makes a point about perception vs reality in relationships but as a viewer I would have preferred a clearer resolution. I also found it a little jarring to go from the emotional decision in the courtroom to the leads’ first kiss. All that being said, I’m still rooting for them. Ready for the next episode!

2022-08-01 00:23:53 +0000 UTCEpisode 10 brought up all types of relationships and what we “gain” (for lack of a better word). The victim knew the guy was no good, but gained ‘love’ - or as JunHo put it, what she thought was love. JunHo’s awful “friend” brings up the feeling of wanting to fix or help somebody (did he get punched because there could be some truth in that for JunHo?) Attorney Choi vacillates between trying a blind date to find a long term relationship but ends up in a one night stand (tbd if it was one night) with someone closer to what she actually wants. And Young-Woo’s biological father and mother had an ultimately transactional relationship where he got a child and she got…a political liability? I keep coming back to JunHo’s comment “if you think it’s love, then it’s love.” I agree all relationships are different and people both have and meet each other’s needs in different ways. But what some would call love is actually control, co-dependence, narcissism, or status. Like the disabled victim, do we always really know what type of relationship we are in? Can we perceive ways in which our own relationships are not healthy, or do we just put up with it because of our need to feel like it is “love”?
