A little background to one of the most entertaining shows this decade and some thoughts so far.

So the lead declined the part of the extraordinary lawyer Woo Young Woo because she felt she wasn't ready. And filmed another drama.

As a result they didn't seek out another actor but decided to wait and ask again.. this time she accepted.

She did her homework on what autism is. Met with a bunch of people and found out how she would portray her And I don't know if it because of that some scenes were altered or if it was there allready but the whole script comes across as genuine, kind and thoughtful.

I have seen one other series with her that I know of and the lead is almost unrecognizable. So all I can say is give her the highest international possible for her performance. It puts the majority of performances of people with autism to shame.

In the first few episodes a big effort is made to make the viewer aware of autism in general . And the preconceptions they still have to face.

So far this has been done in a respectful manner and I hope they continue to do so.

I am not a big fan of some of the special effects. Like the thundering steps of the younger son of a family and some other stuff.

That is why I can't give it a 10. But I will gladly put that aside while watching the stellar performance of the lead. I am in awe of her appearance.

She describes a friend / colleague like the spring sun or was it autumn, the episode with nicknames, a similar strong description befits her.

Some cases don't have a happy end. And some do.

So I like that. While it feels random, maybe it is. At least I felt that the writers tried their best and maybe that is what life is ... random at times.. sometimes you need luck, or an understanding judge.

At the moment I am a bit fearful of the mother daughter storyline.. It has yet to unfold, if the writers did an extraordinarily great job I will adjust my ranking to 10. The reason I am fearful is because of how the father reacted to her when she asked about a customers behavior.. This action is defendable but one I am very conflicted with , so I hope this gets further explored later on.

If they botch it up I will lower the current 9.. But even if they messed it up I will gladly continue watching this character grow.

Goes into top recommendations together with sky castle.
