Review WITHOUT SPOILERS (it was difficult). Detailed, so it will take time to read ;)
I already realized from the first few episodes (i watched all) that this is an IDEAL balanced show - here and comedy, and drama, and, mega cool and unpredictable action-story. Details are given below.
Okay. I'll start the review.
1) The plot: someone will say that this is a typical story and nothing new and interesting, and I'll say this - maybe the whole story is not new, but this is absolutely not important. As in any Korean drama, it is much more important not as a whole STORY, but EVENTS that are happening.
From the very beginning events happen unpredictably and it will keep you in the seat (or where you watch the show? =)) To the end of the episode, immediately begin, if briefly - chase and "fights". And if in more detail - it's better not to spoil some details :). All this is accompanied by an intense thriller that will keep you in suspense until the battery on the laptop discharged ... :) Besides this there is not just romance but RELATIONSHIPS between two characters, which gradually develop and move into a more serious direction ...
Comedy ... there are many so funny moments (even in the first episode) that I laughed even after rewatching this.
The same goes for all following episodes. All the events connected with each other, but you do not know what exactly will happen next. And exactly what events are happening, is also not unimportant - and here the script writer did a great job! The paths of the characters intersect and who knows how else they can be connected ... (I try not to spoil ... aaaa :) ).
And now a little about the plot itself - the main character is driven not only by revenge. Using the law, as well as his fists, he is trying to reach justice (to imprison violators of the law) (for example, bribe takers). Despite the fact that at first it seems that he sometimes violates the law himself, he does it for a reason, and for the purpose and I hope you will understand this.
Some moments (events) can make you cry, and some laugh, and some even laugh and cry at the same time. Like how they made me…
In sum, the plot and events uniquely impressed me and is very very well done, so not even 10, but 11 out of 10!
2) Acting (characters): (there were many moments where FEELINGS is most important (don’t miss it) and all the actors showed that stunningly good and ASLO who playing side-characters too)
1. Bong Sang Pil (Lee Joon Gi) - an event that occurred in his childhood, leaves him alone with his gang boss uncle. Driven by the desire to avenge his loss, he decides to become a lawyer, and along the way studying martial arts to reach justice, not only with the help of law, but also with the help of fists. Because he believes that justice cant be reached by just a law, sometimes it is required to use the power of body.
It seems that he is just a lawyer for the rich people who have troubles, but behind the expensive suit and sport cars there is something more. This type of "bad guy" (as it may seem, although personally I realized right away that he is not a simple guy and not “bad guy” for me), but at the same time who not going against serious law, and you will know his other sides (again I will not spoil, it's really hard not to spoil , while detailing everything).
The way the actor Lee Joon Gi played his character is unique - at first we see a cool and cheerful lawyer who knows how to joke and play around with his gang some time, and some time he using fists but also knows a law ... at the same time, you will see (I hope SEE) other sides of how he portrayed him that will say more about his character.
An interesting fact - Lee Joon Gi performed all the tricks himself (without actor for tricks), I think therefore the scenes of fights with him look incredibly realistic.
From the first minutes you will like him, I assure you :)
2. Ha Jae Yi (Seo Ye Ji) - a strong girl who tries to take care of others (and It is obvious from the beginning), but at the same time does not allow herself to be offended. She can punch someone who trying to avoid law, and probably not because she is angry, but simply, to do at least some punishment for those who go against the law, because she is sure that she is doing everything right. By the way, it is somewhat similar to the Bong Sang Pil.
An event that happened in childhood, radically changes her (do not spoil, do not spoil, do not spoil…), and these changes, are reflected in her. You will see other sides of her ...
Surprisingly, Seo Ye Ji showed the personality of her character very well - just like Lee Joon Gi you can see their feelings on their faces, different emotions, and sadness, and laughter, and disappointment, and joy. But especially they will be revealed in following episodes (after the first).
I think she will attract you like a magnet (a fairly powerful magnet, just like Lee Joon Gi)
3. I can not help mentioning minor roles, every actor here, again (like in most Korean dramas by the way) tried to better show his character, even if he\she appears only once or twice (in fact, I started watching this show because of Choi Min-Soo - of course, I did not expect such amazing impressions in everything else):
3.1. Ahn Oh Joo (Choi Min-Soo) - this actor can play ambiguous characters, that is, like a high position and behavior as a decent citizen of his country, but at the same time, you do not know what this citizen can hide and do not expect what exactly - he can play such characters. However, I did not say that this character is hiding something, you will find out for yourself.
3.2. Cha Moon Sook (Lee Hye Young) - a judge who thinks about the law and tries her hard and does not miss the details.
I cant not to write about the gang of Geum Gang (Im Ki Hong) - how these people, besides their leader Im Ki Hong, play "bandits" - I liked them from the beginning, they are quite funny, with them you will see very funny moments ;)
Also I will not forget about the mother of the main character - Choi Jin Ae (Shin Eun Jung) - I can see how naturally she showed both joy and sadness ... despite the fact that she had very few scenes with her character, she is definitely very good actress (like all the actors \ actresses here).
In sum, for me, such an actor's play was (and is) the very realistic, plausible and completely natural, all this can be seen by their faces, gestures and voices (as in general and in most Korean dramas by the way, which can not be said about American dramas, which is sad).
Definitely 10 out of 10. (do not forget which characters the actors play).
3) Directing (directed by Kim Jin Min with Yoon Hyun-Ho script):
I must say that the director has done a VERY great job. The way all events are shown, or more precisely every moment - in detail, from different angles, but he does not forget about the characters themselves. In addition, all this is done also with impressive special effects. Action scenes – both director and actor tried to show it more realistically. And, obviously, they succeeded, as it can be seen on the screen.
He managed to magnificently present the ATMOSPHERE of every event and every moment. Even looking without sound, I already feel whats happening at picture, especially in first episode - I have not seen such atmospherically directed show since While you were sleeping and Tunnel (this is very underrated shows by the way).
I guess you didnt notice this. Something I will say about the background - when something happens on the FIRST main image (for example, the conversation between characters), at the same time, there are actions on the BACKGROUND image (for example, in the distance or next to the main characters). And the director (and the actors) are just masterfully done all these scenes in the background - you can see what they do SIMULTANEOUSLY with the main action, how they say something, and all this can be recognized. You will see a lot of these moments.
You can write a lot about it, but to better understand, it is necessary to see for yourself – start :)
In one word it is just brilliantly done.
Of course, 11 out of 10.
And the last (are not you tired of reading? :) )
4) Music - I did not find the name of the composer, as in many other dramas this name is not known, unfortunately.
Anyway, he managed to magnificently present EVERY moment in the every episode with the MUSIC (just like director did with the image, but this time is music)
- touching and beautiful music, in sad and simply good moments (between main leads especially). (especially impressed by the main sad melody in serious moments)
- intense and thrilling music, in action scenes, as well as in various unpredictable moments.
- funny moments – there is somekind of funny music too (I especially liked "OH MYY GOOOOD!" - you'll understand what I mean (it's not a spoiler by the way).
At any moment, music is fitting the action on screen VERY well, including the songs of individual performers too.
Therefore, 10 out of 10.
In the end, you can talk a lot, but I'll say something for sure - for me (and I think for most) this is almost an ideal drama - there is an unpredictable and intense plot, a powerful emotional drama, a very funny comedy to the point that you can laugh and laugh, and also, perfectly selected (made) music for each moment (and that's not all!). And with all that - it's amazingly and impressively directed (fights, dialogues, other actions).
In general, HUGE thanks to the screenwriter, director, composer and every actor\actress for making such a masterpiece and showing it to our world (I hope they will read it somehow).
Simply and briefly - a MASTERPIECE that is beautifully and stunningly balanced! 11 out of 10 ! (I can tell the same thing about two other dramas by the way, of course its Korean).
I already realized from the first few episodes (i watched all) that this is an IDEAL balanced show - here and comedy, and drama, and, mega cool and unpredictable action-story. Details are given below.
