[Spoilers!!!][Ddoboja Reviews] Missy Hammurabi

When it comes to Korean dramas, procedural together with medical dramas are commonly a hitting or a lady friend for me. Often, I experience every bit if the drama uses the setting of a hospital, police push clitoris department, or a courtroom room every bit the background for the main dearest line. And that sucks peculiarly for viewers similar me who would rather possess got episodes focused on the cases than episodes focused on the dearest lines betwixt the ii leads. When I get-go saw teasers for 'Miss Hammurabi', I didn't possess got high expectations. Although Sung Dong Il is 1 of my favorite actors I tin trust to watch, I had mixed feelings almost Go Ara together with Kim Myung Soo (L). Go Ara isn't a bad thespian but she does possess got the vogue where her acting seems the same inwards every drama she comes out inwards together with her acting sometimes seems exaggerated, peculiarly during her crying scenes. With Kim Myung Soo, all I knew him was for beingness L from the man child grouping Infinite. I retrieve seeing him inwards 'The Master's Sun' together with 'My Lovely Girl' but his acting wasn't memorable inwards either dramas. So alongside 'Miss Hammurabi', I expected Sung Dong Il to describe most of the weight together with expected the typical procedural drama. But what I ended upwards getting was 1 of the best Korean legal dramas I've ever watched.

The argue I believe 'Miss Hammurabi' worked out thus good was because it's written past times an actual judge. The cases together with situations presented inwards the drama did a truly skillful undertaking at portraying how Korean social club currently is. Some of the most memorable topics for me were: sexism inwards the workplace, chaebols pulling strings together with beingness stronger than the judges, together with the characters going through their ain moral issues. With the cases inwards this drama, I intend it did a truly skillful undertaking at presenting both sides of the victim's perspective together with the perpetrator's perspectives. With the effect regarding sexism inwards the workplace, the viewer would apparently rootage for the woman mortal employee who experiences a miscarriage afterward beingness worked likewise hard. The drama talks almost how woman mortal employees are straightaway cautious almost marrying together with becoming meaning because they don't desire to endure seen every bit a burden to their coworkers. The obvious "villain" inwards this province of affairs is the principal who overworks the woman mortal employee but together with thus at the end, you realize that he's thus hungry for success because that's his cast of validation. The concluding scene of that episode also gave me chills because nosotros meet the woman mortal bailiff (portrayed past times Lee Yea Eun) feeling threatened past times a grouping of men although a few minutes ago, she was showing off her martial arts skills to the friends she was drinking alongside together with showing how tough she was. This scene simply made me truly sorry because I intend it perfectly depicted how at times women tin experience truly vulnerable roughly men no affair how rigid nosotros intend nosotros are...  

I was also shocked past times how the drama showed their characters experiencing their ain moral issues. The most memorable for me was Im Ba Reun (portrayed past times Kim Myung Soo) using personal connections together with his condition every bit a approximate to possess got his schoolhouse friend describe some strings at the infirmary thus that his woman bring upwards could larn a cheque upwards faster. In that moment, all Ba Reun cared almost was his mom, he didn't assist if other patients waited longer than him. He realizes what he did when the MD who examines his woman bring upwards points out the fact that the patients that came earlier him are inwards extreme hurting together with they waited fifty-fifty longer than he did. Im Ba Reun is left feeling disgusted past times himself together with cries spell apologizing to the people he cutting inwards front end of. 

I believe this is why the drama worked thus good every bit a legal drama. Its main focus wasn't on the dearest trouble betwixt Im Ba Reun together with Park Cha Oh Reum (portrayed past times Go Ara), instead it was focused on their dedication to their careers together with to select justice to the people who deserve it. In my opinion, the dearest trouble acquaint inwards this drama felt lilliputian together with I truly appreciated how it wasn't the main focus because it had the viewers rooting for justice to endure brought inwards the cases rather than rooting for ii characters to halt upwards together. Many times when I was translating comments regarding this drama, many commenters pointed out how the the world would endure thus much amend if at that topographic point were many judges similar the main characters. Judges who truly possess got fourth dimension to heed to both sides of the example together with aren't beingness swayed past times other factors. I also appreciated how the drama didn't drag out 1 example throughout multiple episodes but would resolve them inwards a timely manner.

'Miss Hammurabi' ended upwards beingness 1 of my favorite Korean dramas for this year. The drama did an amazing undertaking on beingness an actual legal drama instead of beingness some other romance k-drama trying to top off every bit a legal drama. The acting all felt natural together with non overreacted together with I intend that's because the actors aren't playing stereotypical roles. Kim Myung Soo isn't playing some other chic bloom boy, Go Ara isn't playing a tomboy or a daughter trying to human activity tough, together with Sung Dong Il isn't simply some other angry ahjussi. These characters inwards this drama all possess got a role together with they're all characters nosotros tin relate with. 

I would definitely recommend this drama to whatever viewer who isn't a huge fan on the stereotypical romance k-drama together with is interested inwards watching dramas that are truly focused on legal issues. And for people who intend Kim Myung Soo can't human activity (I used to endure 1 of them), you demand to produce sentinel this because he'll modify your opinion.
