Reviews & Thoughts
This is like one of the top 10 k-dramas released in the last decade. Recently it also got a <a href="https://webnewsobserver.com/extraordinary-attorney-woo-ratings-skyrockets-series-receives-an-american-remake-offer/">US remake offer</a> That's how good this is - NOT cringey. The new Money Heist Korea - that's a cringey one. This drama is 10 times better than that balanced perfectly between entertaining and realistic - coupled with an exceptional acting from the actress. Enough said.
This is a funny, heartwarming, challenging comedic drama so very well acted by a great ensemble. Of course, as are most of the Korean series, the magnificent cast is supported by one writer and one director throughout all the episodes, so there is meticulous attention to detail and continuity. As with Vincenzo, we all love it!
