This is my first time writing a review and this is the only drama that pushed me to write a review along my 15-year history of kdrama watching. DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST.

If you love dramas which will keep you on the edge and thinking, keep you laughing and let you find yourself smiling at the couple's antics, you should watch this drama. Also, if you love strong female characters and law dramas then definitely, decision to watch this drama is a no-brainer. Binge.

What I liked:
1. It involves law and it is not dragging, perhaps exciting and will most likely have you to binge watch.

I personally like dramas about law like Lawless lawyer because they seldom lag because of different cases encountered along with the main case which is the case for Hyena. There is just a different excitement in courtroom.

2. No skipping scenes.

This one has a very good story line. cases are packed, well-written and will keep you looking forward to the next episode. I have watched 6 dramas ever since the corona virus quarantine started with Hyena being the 6th. I used to have a habit of skipping scenes a lot especially scenes without dialogues. However, Hyena was different. You get to enjoy the cinematography which is good and I rarely skip scenes in Hyena which is rare for me. Whenever I would think of skipping scenes, I would stop myself then I would enjoy every bit of scenes. Each episode is an hour-length but I find other 30-min. length dramas longer. It is that filled. Also, although each episode is packed, the story didn't get messed up.

3.The characters. I can't emphasize more on this.

I have known Joo Ji Hoon from other dramas and even had him as my Ipad wallpaper before. He never failed to give justice to a character in different genres. As for Kim Hye Soo, although she has other dramas, this is the first time that I saw her. Song Hye Kyo was offered the character but she turned it down and I'm so glad she turned it down. Don't get me wrong, I also love Song Hye Kyo but there is something different with Kim Hye Soo. Whenever I picture Song Hye Kyo being Geum Ja, it's just not that right now that I've watched Hye Soo. Hye Kyo is very beautiful and a very good actress but Hye Soo has the aura and charisma that could match Ji Hoon's charisma, or even overpower him. If Hye Kyo has beauty and charm, Hye Soo has beauty and charisma and she did so much justice on Geum Ja's character. Overall, the characters, not only the main, were so good. They make you feel the journey and the emotions. They make you feel involved especially how mature Geum Ja and Hee Jae handles their relationship.

4. The kisses and laughs.

The supporting roles definitely played the major role for comedy that's why no character is wasted.
The romance. Oh the romance. I often find myself smiling in front of the screen, feeling the butterflies in my stomach and that is rare for me. The chemistry of Ji Hoon and Hye Soo is so so so so good. They are both mature and really fit characters so good. And speaking of mature, the kisses! Although there's like at most three to five kissing scenes they were real kisses! Like not just lips steadily touching for three seconds but french! They're smoking hot that my face still turn red with a grin and makes me crave for more but... (I won't write any spoilers. GO AND WATCH).

5. Music to dance for and to feel for
Hyena by Yeoeun, On the road by Baekhyun, Hyena by Giriboy are some of the OST that got me hooked especially Hyena by Giriboy. They really fit as ost. GO AND LISTEN.

What I didn't like:

1. That it finished

2. The ending could have been written better. I don't know if there would be so much casualties if they were to add one more episode but seriously, one more episode is needed to say that this drama is perfect. Because of that I was a little disappointed. If the story and the characters didn't grow on me, I would not be disappointed but they did and as a writer myself, there could be a better ending. Maybe, just maybe, they could not permit another episode which explains the ending. However, although I was wishing for a better ending, the way they ended it considering the airtime only allotted for the drama, it was a clean finish. My love for the drama was still greater.

In summary:
DO NOT THINK ABOUT IT. WATCH IT. RIGHT NOW.
