Okay, I just watched the 1st episode and I really liked it! It was indeed intense and even feel a little bit too intense for me at times but I REALLY enjoyed it. It had some funny moments that made me laugh and I love the chemistry between the actors and actresses, I can't wait to see more!

Also lmao @ Yeon Woo pissing Jina off during their very first meeting. I'm super excited to see more of Ko Sung Hee!!!

 

No doubt that, im kinda wondering if both of them going to have a love-hate relationship lol laugh.png

Can I just say that I love her character. I've watched Ko Sunghee before but I never feel any kind of connection with the roles she plays but almost immediately I'm liking her as Jina. Now I don't have to worry when she and Yeon Woo get into the office romance lol

those two may end up as love-hate r/ship lol, but if we compare to his bed scene with his grandma lmao

Suits: Episode 1 (Recaps)

 

Suits01-00487.jpg

 

 

 

I was halfway expecting a show about lawyers to be somewhat slow-moving and serious, but KBS2’s new drama Suits (a remake of the American TV show of the same name) looks to be a fast and furious ride, full of witty dialogue, intriguing characters, and unexpected plot twists. The premiere episode is mostly an introduction to the characters and the law firm where they work, and I was drawn to the bright, simple introduction, which gave me just enough to hook me in without weighing me down with too much information.

 

EPISODE 1: “Fate is determined by the choices you make, not coincidence.â€

 

On a dreary, rainy day, a lawyer visits a young man in prison. We hear the young man’s voice narrate: “Fate is determined by the choices you make, not coincidence.†Suddenly, time begins flowing backwards, pulling the raindrops slowly back into the sky.

COMMENTS

I’ll be honest — that was a lot more fun than I expected! I’ve never seen the American version of Suits, but I actually prefer not to be familiar with the original source material when recapping
a drama. Freedom from expectations set up by another show allows me to evaluate this show based on its own merit, without constantly comparing the two. So in these recaps, I may make predictions and ask questions whose answers are obvious to those who have seen the original series, but let’s try not to give away any spoilers. I’d like to keep the discussions to what’s happened in this version, and not ruin things for those of us who are seeing all this for the first time!

 

 

I suppose I was expecting something more dry and straight-laced from this show, and to be fair, lawyer shows aren’t really a genre that usually interests me much simply because they are so often dry and straight-laced. So I was very pleasantly surprised that Suits turns out to be bright and fun, with quirky characters and twisty-turny scenes that kept my attention simply for the fact that I never knew what the characters were going to say or do. Even the side characters like jealous lawyer Geun-shik and Yeon-woo’s smarmy friend Chul-soon seem fully-realized and important, and I have no doubt they’ll both be back to cause problems for Kang-seok and Yeon-woo later.

For me, the main draw of Suits is definitely Park Hyung-shik. He’s been making me sit up and pay attention he played Lee Jin-wook’s younger counterpart in Nine, way back when I first started watching dramas. I have always thought he has the potential to play really complex roles — he just seems capable of handling anything a character can throw at him, from comedy to drama (not to mention, he ain’t half bad to look at). He reliably chooses roles that fit him well, but I’ve always thought he could do more, and I believe that this show could be the one that really showcases his true talent.

 

And I like what he’s doing with the role of Yeon-woo so far. We know that Park Hyung-shik can emote like crazy, but I enjoyed seeing him as this very subdued character, at least at the beginning. I like how he played Yeon-woo as very understated and nuanced, and you could really feel how Yeon-woo’s genius has shaped his personality. He seems stiff and stand-offish, not because it’s how he is naturally, but probably as a defense mechanism from having been treated like a freak by people his whole life due to his perfect memory. I can’t wait to see how he changes now that he’s found someone who finds his ability an asset, something of value to be used to help himself and others instead of something to be exploited like a circus trick, and I’m confident that the character is in excellent hands.

 

Veteran lawyer Kang-seok is particularly unpredictable, and I love how Jang Dong-gun (Oh, I’ve missed him so much since A Gentleman’s Dignity!) played him entirely straight-faced, but with an undeniable cheekiness underneath the super-serious-lawyer facade. And Yeon-woo’s reactions to Kang-seok are understated but entertaining — he’s not sure what to think about this lawyer who seems so serious, but not only doesn’t turn him in to the cops, but invites him to defend himself and hires him despite his lack of a law degree. The fact that Kang-seok knows that Yeon-woo isn’t really a lawyer was the biggest surprise for me (I went in really blind), but I’m looking forward to the dynamic that will form as he simultaneously protects Yeon-woo from discovery, and teaches him how to be a good lawyer.

  • Suits: There’s just something about Jang Dong-gun’s presence that makes a production instantly feel like a movie the moment he’s on screen. The snazzy directorial style helps too, and I felt myself really enjoying the premiere despite knowing how the story is supposed to go. Plus, brooomance! I already love the snappy rapport between mentor Jang Dong-gun and young pup Park Hyung-shik, and the side characters—the badass secretary and petty rival lawyer with the pet goldfish—are making my day.

  • Suits: Kyaaah!!! So slick. Already loving the bromance between earnest genius Park Hyung-shik and polished veteran Jang Dong-gun. I really liked the American TV show when it first came out, so I was worried that the Korean version might not do it justice. However, it takes on the cool vibe of the original, and adds a Korean flair by pulling at the heartstrings with flashbacks of Korean Harvey’s (aka Jang Dong-gun) backstory in parallel with Korean Michael’s (Park Hyung-shik) present.

Suits: Episode 2 (Recaps)

 

Suits02-00393.jpg

 

 

 

With introductions out of the way, we finally get to see both Kang-seok and Yeon-woo in action. It’s interesting how similar they are when it comes to sheer stubbornness and determination to win, yet they’re miles apart in the way they approach a problem. Is it better to come from a place of compassion and understanding, as Yeon-woo believes, or is Kang-seok correct that the fastest way to results is to exploit your opponent’s weaknesses? I have a feeling that they both have a lot to learn from each other.

 

EPISODE 2: “If you have a chance to throw a die, throw it without hesitating. The moment you throw it, you’ll advance at least one square.â€

COMMENTS

We got to know Yeon-woo a bit better in this episode, which confirmed a lot of what I suspected about him after the first episode. He seems to have hit a rough patch when his parents died in a hit-and-run and ruined his chances of going to law school. I can’t help but wonder if his desperation to fix some terrible mistake that he made is related to his parents’ deaths — maybe he was involved somehow, or maybe he was even the drunk driver who caused the accident. His apology and promise to his grandmother to tell her everything someday leads me to believe that he at least feels responsible for his parents’ deaths. Regardless, I can’t see yet how a job pretending to be a lawyer would make things right, unless his goal is to honor his parents’ loss by becoming successful. And I could be way off and his mistake is something else entirely… we still have a long way to go before we get answers.

 

Yeon-woo seemed so withdrawn and detached in the first episode, so I liked that we got to see a bit more of his personality. I’m particularly entertained by his bewilderment at the inner workings of the law firm, but you can also feel that he’s carefully analyzing everything he observes and that he’ll be fitting right in before long. Yeon-woo seems to have a lot of facets to his personality — he was cool and factual when he talked Kang-seok out of firing him, dryly witty with Ji-na, and warm and compassionate when listening to the harassment victim. Then he went to see his grandmother and instantly became so sweet and childlike, it made my heart ache. There’s a lot of love there, on both sides, and I’m looking forward to seeing Yeon-woo extend that love outward to others.

Suits02-00274.jpg

There’s something about Kang-seok’s slick, effective way of handling every situation that makes me want to admire his intelligence and quick thinking, but I’m definitely concerned about the way he goes about manipulating people. His tactics are misleading and tricksy at best, illegal at worst. And now he has Yeon-woo under his wing, a kid who knows the letter of the law from books but has no experience actually applying those laws to real-life situations, and who’s listening and absorbing his — frankly terrible — advice. I mean, it was Kang-seok’s idea to hire Yeon-woo to illegally impersonate a lawyer in the first place, and the fact that the plan is to get Yeon-woo to pass the bar exam within six months doesn’t make it any better (and anyway, why does he need six months when he’s already passed the bar with a nearly perfect score?). I’m concerned that Kang-seok will stamp out Yeon-woo’s instinctive compassionate, human approach and teach him all the wrong things.

On a lighter note, I absolutely adore the female characters in this show, so I hope that they get a lot more screen time going forward. Jin Hee-kyung is always wonderful, and I love how her Ha-yeon is so smart and clever, running this powerful law firm all by herself. Chae Jung-ahn as Da-ham is hilarious, both with Kang-seok and without, and I hope we get to see a lot more of her sassyness. But it’s Go Sung-hee as Ji-na who really makes me laugh, especially when she was so irritated by Yeon-woo’s obliviousness that she was actively trying to get his attention without even knowing why. It cracks me right up whenever she hits him with a zinger and prepares to gloat, only for Yeon-woo to be all Oh, okay, well bye now and leave her floundering even harder. I’m a bit sad that they started getting along so soon, because I could have watched several more weeks’ worth of Ji-na being annoyed and Yeon-woo having no earthly clue what’s wrong with her.

I liked Suits after the first episode, but I love it after the second. My only real complaint is that some of the law procedures seem very rushed (for example, no way would a lawyer let their client be questioned without having thoroughly questioned them themselves), but it seems to be the way of things in dramas, so I can overlook that for the sake of entertainment. I feel like the show hasn’t quite hit its stride yet, but the introduction of a case and a purpose for Yeon-woo to use his intellect got things focused in the right direction. In addition, the side-plot of Chul-soon and the drug dealers looking for Yeon-woo has me concerned, because as much as Chul-soon is bad news and he knows it, Yeon-woo will still feel betrayed that his friend got him in this situation, then ratted him out. I’m eager to see Kang-seok break his own rule of not getting emotionally involved as he tries to help Yeon-woo out of a situation that’s gotten out of control.
