High
school student Jang Hye-sung witnesses a grisly murder then testifies
in court, helping to put the murderer in jail. The young boy, Park
Soo-ha, whose father was killed, vows to find Hye-sung again so he
can protect her when the murderer is released. Meanwhile Hye-sung has
landed a job as a public defense attorney, and that's when she and
Soo-ha meet up again. She learns that he has the unique ability to
hear other people's thoughts when he looks them in the eye, and he
helps Hye-sung win some of her court cases. But what will happen when
the murderer finishes his sentence and is released from prison, bent
on seeking revenge?
*There
was an additional love interest for Hye-sung, played by Yoon
Sang-hyun from “My fair Lady,” and he was probably my favorite
character in this drama. This show is a good murder-mystery thriller,
but it did go a bit dark for my taste and stay fairly serious. I
liked some but not all of the music, and I didn't like how Soo-ha's
abilities aren't really explained. It was an interesting reflection
on the justice systems we have in place, how we are not perfect but
we try our best to follow law and serve justice anyway. There are
some romantic elements in the show, but it could have been cuter.
Might watch again.*
