Judge vs. Judge (2017)

Honestly I have a hard time understanding the ratings of this drama.
Compared to many other overrated ones, this one had at least good acting for the most part and a interesting storyline.
The directors made the plots twists appear slightly overdramatic when they were not but the story was still very interesting to me.
I really liked how they portrayed the work of judge and the characters were overall very refreshing.
The romance part was not smothering the rest of the story which was GREAT, and I was happy to see a more mature and realistic romance story instead of the usual cheesy cringy stuff between bright girl-cold guy.
In this drama, I was able to see more realistic main leads with more complex personalities.
So I recommend!

Overall, This 6 out of 10.
The story is average. What had me going is the spark between Jung Joo and Eui Hyun. Although it is minimal, im quite satisfied as they are keeping the drama in a dignified way. I love the judgeship that they portrayed and how they keeping the judges to be fair regardless of other temptation.
What i not like is the plot on the crime because it made me think back the whole point of the drama yet it was justified with the same case that happen in another country (Im not sure if its inspired by true story or not). So, i just let myself convinced and enjoy the drama.
The ending episodes was dedicated for the main leads' romance and I like it.. (That eyes glances, that smile from Eui Hyun, made me cringe).
I did wonder what happen to Han Joon but there's a dialog ''Let's us not meet again''. So, the drama did justify on what and whys of things happen in it. at least for me.

The cast is quite okay. Hmm Its not that bad but i did wonder if Jung Joo played by other actress other than Park Eun Bin, would it be better? Well, we cannot sure of that. I actually started watch this solely because of Eun Bin as I really love her in the series of Age of Youth.. perhaps this is not her cup of tea YET.
Overall, the casts did their job well.

The songs choice is okay. But nothing memorable for me.

All in all, this is a drama that you may want to binge watch when you are busy with daily life and find some time to relax with some entertainment. I think you would get bored if watch the episodes back to back but yet, it depends on your preferences. This is not a drama that you would want to recommend to others, and not so memorable. Yet, it is bearable and worth your time.
Enjoy!
