Miseu Hammurabi

A young aspiring judges career is progressing well until a girl he had feelings for in the past joins his section. Her opinions and ways of working soon shake up his beliefs and his feelings remain for her, unfortunately he is not her type. The series is well acted with interesting side characters and the cases often involve how judging right from wrong is not always easy. The two young judges both learn traits from each other but will romance blossom ?

Very insightful series into a very interesting justice system. As the judges work out their cases abs verdicts, we see how any society can bring about obstruction to social change, by cultural beliefs and restrictions.

At first it was okay and l like the story line. However, I felt the main character Ara Go was vexing at some times. Her character of being right all the time without thinking of the consequences made me feel really irritating. She makes messy situation and at the same time she cries bitterly for what happened.

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.

This show was quite melodramatic at times, though I certainly cared enough about the main characters to want to keep watching. There was a bit of overkill when it came to the use of emotive background music.

I usually love legal dramas, but Miss Hammurabi compared to, say, Suspicious Partner, for me falls a little short of the mark. It didn't really have one overarching mystery that got solved in the end, so felt a bit haphazard.

I wanted more closure on one of the main cases that we saw the judges handle - it would have been satisfying to see more justice served there. All in all the loose ends were tied up satisfactorily though.

In summation: this was an "all right" drama that didn't make it to my faves list.
