I was looking forward to watching this. In the beginning I felt like the acting was b- but I hung in there.

I'm at episode 8 and really wanted to like the main character but I like her less each episode. She's not a good person even though it appears that she is on the outside.

I don't understand why'd they'd make the main character in a rom com the bad guy (girl).

I wish the show was about Rachel and Tyler they are good people and stand for something unlike Ingrid. If there is a season 2 hopefully it will be more about them and less about her.

I will watch until the end but I'm not sure if I'd watch season 2.

If you want something mindless to binge on a weekend this isn't horrible. But the acting of the main actress was just bad and her two love interests weren't much better. She was so uninteresting with no real character arch. And there was zero chemistry between her and Murphy which made that entire storyline feel fake. Didn't get a ton of chemistry Bentsen her and Nick either but that may have been the point in that relationship. The characters Rachel and Tyler were more interesting and played by much better actors. I might watch a season 2 if there is one but based off of season 1 not sure. There are so many side characters that come and go but don't provide a lot of value because they're not there long enough: Justin, Ingrid's sister, etc. Overall this show isn't horrible but not good either.

I'd never seen anything about this show, but It appeared on my feed - love Netflix' algorithm - so gave it a go and whilst it's not insightful, it's fun.

I like all the characters, they're pretty to look at and the dialogue is quite witty.

Definitely an old vs young vibe about it.

Each episode keeps your attention and it's great for a binge!

If you want easy watching and to have a smile on your face, then this is for you.

More to it that Emily in Paris, but in the same vein with great outfits for all.

If you're looking for deep, groundbreaking show with life lessons, it's probably worth swerving!

I loved it.

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.

The story is not that bad, quite a stereotypical story about ruthless lawyers and quite predictable, but my god the acting is beyond terrible especially Arden Cho's. Apparently the only thing she is capable of doing is sighing, give falsely intense stares and doing a lot of fake smiles (even when the smiles are supposed to be authentic..). The supporting cast (her office friends) was a bit better but could not save the show.

And don't get me started on the music. Felt like a bad teenage soap and made the whole thing even more cringy.

It really spoilt the whole experience and that's a shame because it is enjoyable to see Asian female leads for once.

Watch it without any expectation, it's an average brain dump for when you are exceedingly bored.
