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.

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.

There is nothing to unlike about this show.
Crime Thriller Suspense Drama Subtle Romance Everything.
This show is a situational irony about law system. I like how they are showcasing it in a subtle and realistic way like how it is actually persist in our society.
There is growth in the characters of leads. The female lead is potraying her chracter with GREY shade which is tempting.
I like this kind of genre.
All in all i am really enjoying it. And you can also go for it if you want to see Dark and grey shade series.

PLEASE do not rate the show unless you've seen most of it. I won't spoil anything, but some things that happened in the first episode do not represent the full picture. The show is trying to break boundaries in South Korea, and to do that, the writers must cater to them first, and then reveal information as time goes on. In my opinion, the writers have done an amazing job at that. The show grabs your attention immediately, and you want to keep watching to find out what's really going on. Why Her? Is devoid of a lot of clichés. And I love that it's a noona (younger man, older woman) romance instead of the usual oppa (younger woman, older man) romance. And she is strong as HELL. Oh Su-Jae had to work so hard to get to where she is at now. And you don't know what happened until well into the show. Seo Hyun-Jin makes such an amazing performance. If you like strong female leads, trust me on this - you'll love this show.
