In a dog-eat-dog world, one must be a hyena

Story: I am quite biased towards legal dramas so I had high expectations going into this. It did not disappoint. Don't expect a lovey-dovey romantic comedy. Don't expect a cerebral thriller like "Stranger" or "Signal". This falls somewhere in between and juggles the best of both worlds led by acting powerhouses Kim Hye Soo (Signal / Juvenile Justice) and Ju Ji Hoon (Kingdom / Princess Hours). They play lawyers in the heart of Seoul, willing to do almost anything to win their battles amid corruption and scandal surrounding the country's top 1%. There is a constant back and forth between the two headstrong leads, and with their childish bickering, sparks are bound to fly. And before you know it, in the last few episodes, they become one of those "tell me you're married without telling me you're married" couples.

Cast / Acting: The two leads are quite literally giants in this show. Talk about chemistry! OOF (see ep. 8). Their presence alone is so commanding that the supporting actors, while important and capable, can be easily overlooked when even just one of them is in the same scene. In opposites-attract type romances, one is often straight-faced while the other is outrageous. As this show progresses, you realize that neither of them is afraid to show all the points on the emotional spectrum but it never feels overdone. What we get are two well-fleshed out characters that have several relatable, or at the very least, understandable traits. That's all I ask for, really.

Music: Honestly, I don't remember much of the OST except for Baekhyun's "On the road (that leads to you)". But I don't think it ever felt inappropriate or misplaced.

Overall: Solid drama. Rewatch value above average. If you like a bit of comedy, legal / political thriller, a strong but quirky female lead, and a headstrong but secure male lead, this one's for you. 9/10.
