Diary of a Prosecutor Series Highlights
Realistic Kick of the Plot
While most of the prosecutors portrayed in several dramas had the glamorous life and heroic ending in solving cases, Diary of A Prosecutor conflicts with these ideas interestingly. This drama offers a humane representation of prosecutors.
It carefully wraps cultural and socio-political issues in present times. When we thought that the case ends favoring the weak and poor, we are suddenly slammed by the naked truth that things don’t always go the way we wanted to.
Still, what makes the drama highly commendable is that the whole production made such an earthly and sensible drama that destroys all stereotypes built towards prosecutors and legal workers.
Genius and Wit-Infused Screenplay
Several prosecutor dramas plummet into humorless and crucial topics. Contrary to that, Diary of a Prosecutor serves a slap that not all things end beautifully— because that’s the main concept of life. Life can’t be treated seriously, in such a manner that in several situations, we may lighten a little bit and have fun.
It was both an extraordinary comedy as well as a great procedural drama tackling common elements and the humanism of prosecutors. Life lessons aren’t just the things the viewers can acquire all throughout the drama, but also the technical methods and form in solving cases.
Cleared cases are good news — not until every perspective has been exposed. It instills advice not to be prejudiced by only looking at one point of view. Because sometimes the things that may seem real may not be true. And in order to achieve justice, personal emotions should not get in the way — being rational at all times is the best way possible to solve cases and mysteries.
Winsome and Amendable Characters
In various K-Dramas, the relationship built by the characters in the story often makes viewers reflect. Frequently, they are highly admired for the strong bond they established. Diary of a Prosecutor can probably flaunt this one too. The resolute and firm connection created by the five prosecutors is highly commendable.
They prove that they are not just merely colleagues but a family too — a family member that is willing to give a hand in times of hardships; a family selfless and willing to look out for you. Their strong relationship is tested several times, yet, they remain unwavering. They are courageous and tough in battling the greatest trials in life — whatever it may be, career, family, or even their own dreams.
