Like the main character’s wardrobe, there is too much color and no proper application of all that rich hue. This feels like a Legally Blonde revisit without the original’s wit, charm or heart. What will become of our red Audi-driving fashionista prosecutor when she learns that in the real world, people and laws aren’t black and white, but shades of heather and sadness, a color scheme not found in her vocabulary much less her designer bag?īetween the frantic tempo of the character introductions and the cartoonish depiction of the female lead, I somehow missed the part where I was supposed to find these people interesting.

He’s got one interfering eye on Kim SoYeon, and while he’s charming enough and full of flirty smiles whenever she’s around, it is unclear whether this interest a good thing or reflective of a darker twist yet to reveal itself. Another man with ambiguous interest in the affairs of Kim SoYeon is a well-to-do-lawyer played by Park ShiHoo. He’s drawn to this carefree new recruit, but his reasons may be one of nostalgia, more of a face thing than anything else, as she resembles someone from his past. The lead prosecutor in the office, also a love interest, is Han JungSoo, the hunky ab-licious actor who played General Choi in recent KBS saeguk blockbuster drama Chuno.
Her talent for self-justification is a defensive barrier that her coworkers are unable to break down. The problem is, every Kim SoYeon action is motivated by selfish instant-gratification and not only is she unable to see anyone else’s point of view, but her me-me-me world is narrow and insulated. These dedicated and hard-working birds don’t like her skimpy and expensive feathers, nor do they care for her lack of consideration for their more humble lifestyle, and most especially, they can’t abide her brand of work ethic, which comes across as thoughtless and lazy. Now, at her new salaried job, which appears to be more an act of prestige-climbing for her father than any true passion for justice on her part, she’s a bright pink flamingo in a field of monochromatic ostriches. She’s got a good-sized brain, but she chooses to utilize it for fashion and frivolity rather than waste it on the duller side of life. As she points out early in episode 1, she has a rather high IQ and is quite the clever femme fatale. She’s not so much an airhead as a shallowhead.

counterparts because unlike in the States where there are grand juries for evidential review and a trial by jury-the right to be judged by a panel of one’s peers-is a constitutional right, there is no true system of juries in South Korea, although their judicial system has recently evolved to allow for special civil participation.īack to our heroine: she’s gorgeous, fashionable (well, expensively dressed anyway) and completely self-absorbed. They are not too dissimilar from an American district attorney, but they hold far more authority and influence than their U.S. In Korea, qualified prosecutors are appointed to office after completing a two year training course in acquiring their law degree they are civil servants who participate in an investigative judicial process that includes fact-finding and sentencing. legal system (if, of course, your frame of reference is like mine and coming from this side of the ocean).
Just as a side note, South Korea’s Prosecutor’s Office is not to be confused with the procedures of the District Attorney’s Office in the U.S. Kim SoYeon plays a newbie prosecutor in the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
