Why Her

Korean Drama " Why Her ? " is an office melodrama that centers around the leading lady who dominated the whole drama.

The story has many layers, starting with a scandal that ruins the leading lady's career, and then, slowly, revealing the past and the clues for the main criminal case that binds everything together in the final episodes.

And yet, and even though the drama had many action scenes and suspenseful moments, the romance was unnecessary, cheesy, and not what the story needed. Plus, it was only there to fill in the gaps and had no pace and no smooth progress.

As for the performances, the leading lady gave a killer performance. The rest of the cast did a good job as well.

So, overall, 6 out of 10.

For me, ep 14 was a deal breaker as well as a heart breaker. However, I stayed with the series, and I'm okay with closure. It's just not the great series it set out to be, nor is the relationship between the main leads fully explored as it should have been. It had the potential to be one of the sweetest and most memorable in K-Drama. But the cast is terrific, director did his best with the script given, plot is complex and interesting, but the writer should stay focused better in the next script. I do recommend the series for SHJ's fine performance throughout multiple demands on her as an actor. She is wonderful.

Decent cast decent acting decent plot what else is there...love it actresses are great in roles too and play just right-shame its nearly over.but def one to keep on hard drive.

Another law mystery drama in this year's plate, Why Her started strong, thanks to an amazing performance by See Hyun Jin. The premise is simple, a goal of reaching to the top, due to unfair past behaviour by everyone.

In a world full of injustice, there seems to be no hope of going up against big corporations that can easily influence various institutions in society.

Although fictional, characters like Chairman Han, Assemblyman Lee, and Chairman Choi represent a portion of the powerful in today's society, who abuse the law for their personal gain.

But in the end, there is an end to their abuse of power that disgraces the justice system. The collapse of their empires is also caused by their own misdeeds, which have always been at risk to be exposed.

The pacing was well maintained, although it suddenly rushed in when the 14th episode aired, with multiple layers coming and ending within moments, without giving a proper enclosure. The finale was cliche and had nothing extraordinary, but what made me feel good about the finale is that justice prevails in the end, no matter what.

My Rating : 8/10.

Why Her is an intense melodrama full of well written twists and turns. Seo Hyun Jin is incredible in this, and her performance alone is worth a watch. Hwang In Yeop is wonderful as well, and the rest of the supporting cast are great, particularly Huh Joon Ho as the villain who was absolutely fantastic. The characters are all very well written and well rounded. The score creates the perfect atmosphere for a really entertaining watch that keeps you hooked from start to finish. I am not a fan of noona romances, but the leads had enough chemistry and the characters had a good enough connection that the relationship was believable.

The show is well worth a watch!
