Me too, I want to watch the new drama on PBS Masterpiece Theatre tonight......not having to watch WMBC every night at 9:25 or 9 on weekends after all these years has opened a new world....I don't watch much on network TV either....

Watched the first episode last night - the main male lead is the actor from Beethoven Virus and The King of Dramas...in those two and this, so far, he played the same type of strait-laced person.
The main female lead is dodgerman's fave, Yumi!
Other familiar faces as usual - seems promising for a start but the description says the lead has an accident and loses his memory....so will have to see about that.

I've been watching this drama and a little disappointed that they cut it down to 16 episodes. Since they announced the change, I noticed the story being rushed and alot more narration than acting. Too bad because I thought It was a solid show about a shady crooked lawyer losing his memory and regaining his humanity.
If you like the lead actor and his deadpan style of delivering his lines, I'd recommend another show he starred in called The King of Dramas which was an interesting look into the behind the scenes world of creating kDramas.

madman999 - I did mention above that the male lead, Kim Myung Min, was in King of Dramas....and Beethoven Virus. I didn't realize that this drama was cut back that much - just two episodes I thought I read somewhere not like the other one some of us are watching - Wild Chives and Soybean Soup - cut about 50%.

I will wonder why they cut down this series but unfortunately one thing for certain is that ending won't win any awards or be remembered in any significant way.

I still have a bit more on this - took a break to watch Time Slip Dr. Jin - with one of the same actors...lol.... I think I read there was a schedule issue for the cut in episodes - something about a delay and, I believe, Kim Myung Min had another drama scheduled. Actually sounded similar to the plot of King of Dramas in which he starred.....

I saw Dr Time Slip last year. I finished 4 episodes of New Leaf and besides Park Min Young, I like it because so far there has been little extraneous subplots--like divorced sisters, lost kids, etc. I guess because it is short, the writers couldn't add to much.

Finished New Leaf....it was quite interesting - I liked the info about the Korean legal system - I assume it is more or less what goes on there - amazing that one law firm could have so much power. I am now watching two - one recommended by madman999 Sly and Single Again as well as That Winter, the Wind Blows - recommended, I think, by grace?....

If you like action, I want to recommend Two weeks to you all. I'm my opinion, a very well executed action thriller. The child actress Lee Chae Mi steals every scene she is on.
I watched The Winter The Wind Blows and it's a pretty drama especially if you are a fan of lead actress but I have warn you, it does get a little slow.

Thanks for the recommendation of Two Weeks, madman999 - I have added it to my queue on Dramafever.
Yes, I like the lead actress in The Winter etc - she was in Autumn in My Heart and Hotelier.
btw, madman999, if you don't mind please add future recommendations to the Watching Online Dramas in the Other Dramas topic, third down from the top of Currently Watching Online Board so others who are not looking at this thread will see...thanks!
