    Interesting cases but romance is cringe worthy

    Some good thing make this show worth a watch. The premise of the dreams actually is quite involving and plausible. Fun seeing things come together. The cases are interesting and cleverly constructed to blend in with the characters. The background story is intriguing too. So at least 2/3rds of the show is involving. Faults: the romance is unconvincing and the cutesy parts are annoying and cringe worthy. Lee Jong Suk acts a bit silly here. Some of the gestures the director makes him do look very effeminate and out of place for a romantic lead even by 2017 standards. Totally outshone by the scene stealer Jung Hae In as the cop who acts well. Suzy Bae is pretty but she is too big to act cute. The villain is quite well played by Lee Sang Yeob. Some parts could have been shortened. The ending is very complete at least. Lots of closure.

    Favourite one

    Excellent story with some excellent cast. I never felt bored watching this drama. It is now in my fav list

    Interesting plot. Amazing execution.

    I really liked the plot of this kdrama. I haven't seen anything like this before and it was interesting to see how the story panned out. There are so many characters involved in the situation and it was shocking to see how interconnected they are. A minor detail can affect an event in the life of someone else.

    The cinematography was also very beautiful. I found many of the setting of the scenes or the shot very pleasing to the eyes. I have many screenshots saved because of it.

    The characters that were created were fun and entertaining to watch. Hong Joo was pretty weird but in a good and fun way. Jae Chan was also like that. It was fun to see how brave he wanted to be seen when deep inside he doesn't really know what he's doing with his life. He just tries his best. Woo Tak was a wonderful addition to that. He was kind and adorable and very precious. I loved them all. Each of the actors portrayed their roles wonderfully and they had a good dynamic with each other.

    WOULD WISH TO WATCH AGAIN !

    If I haven't already known the ending i would definitely watch it again! This series will introduce you to other way of thinking. You will know more about "law-court issues" wich are really cool! This series is fictional.. even if you don't like that.. it's worth the try ;)
