Edit: I finished the series

As of right now, from watching what I have watched, I feel that the main lead is too headstrong. I have not finished the drama yet (I intend to) but it is getting kind of hard since the main protagonist is REALLY frustrating to watch. She wants to do things her way even though it might be wrong. She does not care about her clients and she lacks empathy. For example. in the first and second episode, she did not one consider the victim's mindset or how the trial would affect his life. She plays dirty to get what she wants, even if that's not what the client wants. On top of that, she LOVES to place blame on the other lead for small petty reasons such as in episode four when she said something like, "isn't this your fault too?" when talking about the perpetrator in her house. She is annoying and I do not see growth in her as of right now. who knows, maybe she'll change, but it is not looking too good for that from other reviews I have read.

Simply put, the storyline is getting kind of frustrating to follow as I do not enjoy this type of trope.

Music is not bad, but they're currently not a track that I tried to look up because it enticed me.

Edit: I have now finished the series. To be honest, I have not seen plotholes as other viewers have commented on. Perhaps I am just not observant enough. However, I honestly feel like there were too many things that happened at the right place at the right time, or that the characters were able to connect the dots too soon and whatnot. For example, how was Ma Yi Deum so quick to figure out that there was a video deleting app on the tablet she was given? Or that Nurse Choi on the island with Yi Deum's mom knew that the package delivery driver is out to get them simply because there was a "package" for the both of them? I felt like the explanation was not while guns were jumped. As for the right place and right time, how were the nurse and the mom able to escape the killers in time? I feel like those were all too convenient.

As for the main female lead, I would say that she is not as annoying or frustrating to watch, but I do see a lack of character development. However, I am actually okay with that as she is finally able to use some questionable tactics to finally get the main antagonist.
