Miss Hammurabi

Miss Hammurabi is not exactly a law drama. It has cases and it is about judges, but it focuses more on the characters than the plot. Those characters are interesting, with rich backgrounds, that usually explain the way they act in the current time of the drama. Through the show, we learn more about them and more about their lives, as they start to develop relationships with one another. In the end, we get friendship, romance, strong office dynamics and a nice conclusion. So, it is inevitable that the performances were good as well. Go Ara has a way to express deep emotions in her every drama, and L has finally grown to a mature actor with flawless performances. So overall, 6,5 out of 10.

The first 13 (out of 16) episodes were so fun to watch. The last 3? I had to watch them using the Netflix's skip button so I could know the 🙄 Koreans just don't know when or how to end their shows, this 16 episode obligation is ridiculous.

The final set of conflicts was overplayed and overcooked.

Ara Go was the most annoying main character. They just kept making her storyline go in a circle over and over. I just can't stand that she always has to be right, always is the innocent one, and always cries when things don't go her way. It's annoying. The drama was way better when it focused more on the other characters, plus, her "I'm the saviour" attitude gets really boring after a while. I just kept hoping they would kill her off and often wonder what it would be like without her or with a different actress.

The show started well but got borinf after a while,the main female character acted like a lawyer rather than a judge,it makes one wonder why she didnt choose to be a lawyer instead od judge?it was really unrealistic in some cases and why she had to be right always? i wanted to see judge im more actively in the cases but the show disappointed me.

I liked everything about this drama. The cast were excellent, the storylines were varied and held my attention. But I could only give it 5 stars. And that is entirely sure to the main character. She was incredibly annoying. She cried literally 5 times per episode in all but 2 episodes. Every time she opened her mouth she looked like she'd burst into tears. It ruined the show, which is a shame as it would otherwise have been a 8 star review.
