I never read the book this was based on so I cannot say if they did it justice but by itself I thought this was good. IF you think this is going to be a generic rom com show themed around lawyers with a roses and rainbows predictable ending, think again. It's not perfect mind you. Some cringe. Some cheesiness. Some iffy acting here and there. Quite like a soapy kdrama sort?
The characters here are flawed too. They make weighted decisions that the audience might find off putting considering they're supposed to be the main characters. This is also a slow burn. First half is about the build up and presentation the second half is where it shines. The end is a great closure with potential for future story.
There's some 'this won't happen irl' moments like any other show as they tend to crank stuff up a notch but it's all still relatable. Most especially one of their main focus of 'finding what you want in life' which really hits a lot for me. It's not a heavy drama, quite light hearted but serious.
The side characters have their own personality and adds to the dynamic. I was rooting for Rachel's storyline more but Ingrid's storyline focus isn't so bad. My gripe honestly is that I wish they focused more on the lawyer journey and sidelined the romance plot so we get a more genuine slow burn tension.
