#FirstImpression: Suits (슈츠) (2018)

Snippet of the drama (From AsianWiki)

I think this is a bad synopsis of the drama but oh well, you know me. I'm too lazy to write my own.

Choi Kang Seok (Jang Dong Gun) is a legendary lawyer at the top law firm in South Korea. He has charisma and an attractive appearance. He hires Go Yeon Woo (Park Hyung Sik) as a rookie lawyer for the law firm. Go Yeon Woo has excellent memory.

My first impression

Firstly, I have to mention that I'm such a huuuuuuuge fan of the original Suits though I only watched the show until season 5. lol! The original Suits and I had this special connection as it helped me to get through my Business Law class when I was in my 4th year of university. 

So, I was a lil bit skeptical when I read that Koreans will make a remake of Suits. I had dozens of questions running in my head. Will it be as good and entertaining as the original? Will they cast a perfect Harvey Specter and Mike Ross? How are they going to Koreanized the scenarios? Y'know, All sorts of stuff.

4 episodes in, I can say that Suits (슈츠) managed to steal my heart and I definitely will keep watching the rest of the show, unless something major happens. I'm no professional in any way but I think the cinematography looked luxurious and it gave a film vibes instead of a drama vibes. The show also exuded a modern feeling. You'll understand what I meant by this if you watch the show.

As for the cast, I'm not feeling the female characters yet. The Rachel's, Jessica's, and Donna's equivalents were a lil bit lacking? Hope they all will have character development soon. As for the male characters, I think Jang Dong Gun (장동건) is the perfect Harvey Specter and Park Hyung Sik (박형식) is an okay Mike Ross? I can see Harvey and the qualities that define Harvey in Jang Dong Gun. They were crazy synced and in tune. It was a different case for Park Hyung Sik. I can't see Mike Ross at all in Park Hyung Sik but I kinda liked his interpretation of Mike Ross. And, Park Hyung Sik definitely looked more suave and good-looking than Mike Ross. Hahahaha :D

In any case, I will try to remain partial and see Suits as a standalone show instead of comparing it to the original from now on. I can't wait to see which cases will be highlighted in this show and how the characters will overcome all the challenges. I'm also anticipating high-quality humour and jokes for the rest of the show. Hopefully, it will be a fun ride! :)
