At first I thought that this was something different from her than the usual type of roles that she plays. I thought that she was going to be the aggressor from start to finish. By the 5th episode it becomes clear that she is the victim again. With the usual old guy as the villain. The only change that they made to make others think differently is that they added another victim and 2 assistant villains to the mix. I hate to say it but if Seo Hyun-jin keeps playing these type of victim roles she will be typecast for this type of thing her entire career. I would like to see her do something different like Park Shin Hye or Park Bo Young do. As for this movie you can pretty much tell how it's going to end so no surprise there. As for the other character who's real name in the series was Kim Dong Goo, the way he acted the characters name should have been Kim Dong on glue. That's way he really portrayed himself. Would I recommend this ? Only if you like watching Hyun Jin like I do. The 7 stars were all for her. Next time they should try to cast a younger villain or at least like in some of the action flicks I grew up watching a young guy in a wig pretending to be old and doing some martial arts.
Another law mystery drama in this year's plate, Why Her started strong, thanks to an amazing performance by See Hyun Jin. The premise is simple, a goal of reaching to the top, due to unfair past behaviour by everyone.
In a world full of injustice, there seems to be no hope of going up against big corporations that can easily influence various institutions in society.
Although fictional, characters like Chairman Han, Assemblyman Lee, and Chairman Choi represent a portion of the powerful in today's society, who abuse the law for their personal gain.
But in the end, there is an end to their abuse of power that disgraces the justice system. The collapse of their empires is also caused by their own misdeeds, which have always been at risk to be exposed.
The pacing was well maintained, although it suddenly rushed in when the 14th episode aired, with multiple layers coming and ending within moments, without giving a proper enclosure. The finale was cliche and had nothing extraordinary, but what made me feel good about the finale is that justice prevails in the end, no matter what.
My Rating : 8/10.

Decent cast decent acting decent plot what else is there...love it actresses are great in roles too and play just right-shame its nearly over.but def one to keep on hard drive.
Korean Drama " Why Her ? " is an office melodrama that centers around the leading lady who dominated the whole drama.
The story has many layers, starting with a scandal that ruins the leading lady's career, and then, slowly, revealing the past and the clues for the main criminal case that binds everything together in the final episodes.
And yet, and even though the drama had many action scenes and suspenseful moments, the romance was unnecessary, cheesy, and not what the story needed. Plus, it was only there to fill in the gaps and had no pace and no smooth progress.
As for the performances, the leading lady gave a killer performance. The rest of the cast did a good job as well.
So, overall, 6 out of 10.

Why Her is an intense melodrama full of well written twists and turns. Seo Hyun Jin is incredible in this, and her performance alone is worth a watch. Hwang In Yeop is wonderful as well, and the rest of the supporting cast are great, particularly Huh Joon Ho as the villain who was absolutely fantastic. The characters are all very well written and well rounded. The score creates the perfect atmosphere for a really entertaining watch that keeps you hooked from start to finish. I am not a fan of noona romances, but the leads had enough chemistry and the characters had a good enough connection that the relationship was believable.
The show is well worth a watch!
