    Good but the writer lost her way in the script.

    For me, ep 14 was a deal breaker as well as a heart breaker. However, I stayed with the series, and I'm okay with closure. It's just not the great series it set out to be, nor is the relationship between the main leads fully explored as it should have been. It had the potential to be one of the sweetest and most memorable in K-Drama. But the cast is terrific, director did his best with the script given, plot is complex and interesting, but the writer should stay focused better in the next script. I do recommend the series for SHJ's fine performance throughout multiple demands on her as an actor. She is wonderful.

    Good Enough

    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.

    Pretty great! except..

    Seeing the promo pics and trailers for months I was so excited for this drama and it almost lived up to my expectations.. the one thing i didn't like was the romance lol,, it was kinda unecessary i mean everyone was excited for Hwang Inyeop to be the main lead and end up with the female lead but idk smth was off and I think there would've been more impact if there was no romance or just implied romance.. but yeah all the crime and law parts were great the mystery was really good some parts seemed not needed but overall it was pretty good!

    Incredible

    So this drama is a piece of art. It wasn't boring and had a great plot. I really enjoyed watching it, but if you are a fan of a lot of romance I don't think this drama will satisfy you, but for me who is into criminal thrillers this show was great. I really recommend watching this drama.

    Twisted, Thoroughly Entertaining Melodrama

    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!
