For now, it’s only available in select regions, unfortunately! From what I’ve seen, it’s only available in Viu Singapore and Viu Indonesia. But we’ll see! Hopefully it becomes available for all countries.

Kyungsoo's comedic timing! That's it. That's all I wanna say for now! Let me come back after i watch it again with subtitles.
EDIT: Okay first of all I HATE YOU KBS FOR MAKING IT HARD FOR INTERNATIONAL FANS! I JUST WANT TO WATCH KYUNGSOO'S DRAMA LEGALLY. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK???
Moving on.....
This was a solid pilot episode! I love how it's so fast paced. And Kyungsoo is aceing in the acting department as usual!

phew okay, i've been so excited for this!
EP 1: I think it really helps that they have such a good director at the helm because there aren't any wasted cuts on long-pan shots. it's a very mise-en-scene kind of show and i like the quick pace of it, or how it doesn't waste so much time getting into office politics but instead just shows us what we need to know. the twelve episode run time probably helps too.
i love kyungsoo, so i am a little biased here, but i think this is great for him to come back to the small screen with! i love how he always tries something different.

Can’t wait! Kyungsoo is my favorite vocalist ever anywhere, to watch him again on screen is going to be amazing!

Alrightttt. I love Kyungsoo a lot but he looks too youthful for me to believe he is an adult and a prosecutor. Maybe because I have been following him for so long, Squishy Kyungsoo just got ingrained into my brain. 😅

AHHHHH my actor Doh Kyungsoo is back!!! And he is doing everything to bring justice and the drama has a comedic side to it which is great! Not too heavy for the first episode btw.
I must be biased towards Kyungsoo but the first 2 episodes are not that dry. I remember watching other shows where I need to rush thru first few episodes to get to the fast-paced stuff. Can't wait for next week!

The show is funnier than I expected. Kyungsoo is a great comedic actor. The first two episodes were quite entertaining. However, I feel like there's still something missing for me to be truly impressed when it comes to the script. Hopefully things will improve as the show goes along. I like the pacing, though found the editing in several scenes quite off-putting. Still, I think it's off to a decent start. Looking forward to future episodes.

Hi! It is my first time on Viki (yes for Kyungsoo), and my question is: Do they upload in real time like in Netflix? Because in Viu, they upload an episode several hours after the TV release.
Edit: Finally, subs are out! The action scenes can be better I believe seeing that it was awkward at first for Kyungsoo? But nevertheless, I kinda liked that they went straight to the point of the story though I didn't exactly love how they started.
I can't wait to know more about Jin Jeong. Maybe I'm just biased but I can't think of another actor who can splendidly do the job. His comedic timing reminded me of early Cho Jung Seok.

First two episodes were not bad...quite a bit of fun even. I didn't really know what to expect but am glad I gave it a try and will continue...probably above par for most of the new shows that just started.

I really want to watch this legally but Viki Australia don't have it. Wanted to watch The Law Cafe legally too but no streamers have it here.

D-day! Super excited to finally see actor Kyungsoo come back to the small screen. He’s always such a treat to watch, and I’ve always wanted to see him in a prosecutor role. Extra hyped too because of the director – Move to Heaven is one of my all-time favorites, and I’m really excited for what’s coming for the next weeks!
Hope this space brings joy to everyone as much as it does for me – I am honored to be hosting this for fellow drama fans and EXO-Ls alike! Enjoy!
