The court cases are really good. Of course, this show has a great original angle, depicting a highly autistic and brilliant young attorney with such overwhelming knowledge of the law, she comes up with superb original defences. But to make that work, the cases themselves also need to be complex and compelling enough. The show succeeds in this with flying colours.
In a way, I came for the premise, and the endearing and often funny sketches this brings - especially from our often gifted Korean showrunners - but I mostly kept watching because of the cases. South Korean culture can be very intricate, with laws that have complicated and not always just or fair origins, so it is fascinating to see how a brilliant autistic lawyer would approach them.
My only criticism is that the show is often to sweet and sugary, almost to the point of protective, yet that could also be seen as a big strenght. Regardless, the way our team surrounding our heroin go about their jobs is intelligent, warm and very well played by the cast. It just clicks and works, in large part because of how law is brought back to a human level and argued with great passion.
It's compelling. Or in a better word: cool. Give it a go.
