Misogynistic

I enjoyed this series for the most part - JCW had a lot to do with that - he is handsome - smart - attractive - and a good kisser - what's not to like !!!

He plays a prosecutor (Mr Noh) who has an unfortunate encounter with a female lawyer Hong Bui on a crowded commuter train - she wrongly accuses him of groping her and makes a scene. They meet later in a hotel where he boyfriend is cheating on her with another woman.

She offers Mr Noh to sleep with her - he says "lets do that" and plays along.

Later her cheating boyfriend is found dead in her apartment and she is accused of the crime. Mr Noh gets her off.

What follows is a search for the real killer.

Of course there is a dawning love between them which is complicated by the return of the woman who cheated on him with his best friend.

The annoying thing is the repeated references to how dirty Hong Bui is - how her hair is so filthy it is untouchable - how she doesn't shower and makes furniture smell. This was completely overdone and not at all funny. Also ridiculous was Hong Bui fighting and tearing out the hair of the woman who was cheating with Hong Bui's boyfriend - why would she suddenly end up living with her?

Total nonsense.

All in all it is worth watching - but Kdramas really need to show some respect for their leading ladies.
