It's enjoyable and a departure from the usual Western story (think Kung Fu with David Carradine). Brings forth an historical aspect of the influence of Chinese on the North American continent and psyche. There is entertainment value that occasionally transgress moral issues that still exist today. I have to wonder whether dredging up the racial disharmony and animosity during that particular era of San Francisco's history will ignite any ill feeling or otherwise of the treatment of less privileged peoples today. I for one did feel empathetic towards various characters, Chinese or otherwise and ponder whether the human race will always continue to be so selfish and short sighted and have not learnt from history. It is a story of an underdog nevertheless in both a racial and a societal sense, who at the end of the season's episodes, decides he's had enough and sees fit to take his own fate into his own hands.

Good little K-drama that is mesmerising to watch. Heart-warming and at times, frustrating to see how there is still a huge stigma on people with autism. Besides learning heaps about their legal system, the show tackles the issue of discrimination and treatment of people with autism in the wider society - despite their special 'skills', people on the spectrum still seen as disabled and 'abnormal' - but what is 'normal' anyway?
