1. [+1,443, -23] Kim Hye Soo's acting is too good. I applauded while watching, for real.

2. [+582, -8] There's just too much blatant PPL in broadcast channel dramas. They ruin the flow of the drama with the random stops to drink or eat something.

3. [+382, -17] Kim Hye Soo is a true legend...

4. [+143, -0] Kim Hye Soo has been a wall since 'Signal' and 'Hyena'. The plot of her new drama is as good as expected. I thought it moved at a slow pace at first but her judgment at the end was not only touching but refreshing. It shows how scary the job of holding someone young or old responsible for their crime in order to set an example for the rest of society. It makes you reflect on whether the judgments of our own society are just.

5. [+137, -1] If this drama had been produced by a broadcast channel, Kim Hye Soo would be depicted putting on a random lotion before heading into court. After trial, Kim Moo Yeol would hand her a hongsam drink stick while the judge takes a seat in a massage chair because he needs a break. I love Netflix because there aren't random PPL scenes that disrupt the flow of the plot.

6. [+83, -0] Watching the trailer alone, you'd assume that Kim Hye Soo is just some prosecutor who has it out for young male criminals, but it's actually a cold, hard look at the issue of young male criminals today. It's a great drama. 

7. [+83, -3] The drama lacks reality in that there is no judge in our country who is as just as her

8. [+75, -1] The drama felt like an American TV show. Every case moved at a fast pace without any bloat. Simple script and cinematography, a great piece of work all around.

9. [+45, -1] Broadcast channels have gotten too used to pouring money into celebrity variety shows who do nothing but sing and chat. They have no balls to produce something like this. 

10. [+29, -0] The drama is great and Kim Hye Soo's acting is top notch, but what I enjoyed the most was being able to see justice played out at least vicariously through the screen since it doesn't happen in real life. Children these days aren't simply children anymore. They can be just as, even more evil than adults.

11. [+27, -0] Probably one of the best recent Netflix dramas. Way better than 'All of Us Are Dead', though they are different genres.

12. [+28, -2] A well made drama indeed. KBS could only dream of producing a drama like this once every 3-4 years, at least it'd be worth my taxes then.
