My latest English-language bed-time show (or zone-out show or whatever show when I don’t want to expend brain power translating) is The Good Wife, which I am watching expressly because I’m curious about the upcoming remake (JUNG DO YEON and Yoo Ji Tae, y’all). Also because I know it has Alan Cumming in it.

I typically don’t watch legal shows. I like criminal shows and I like procedurals, but lawyer shows? Eh, forget it.

However, I’m surprised to realize I’m actually really enjoying it, courtroom scenes and all. Mostly because the ladies are awesome. All of them. I think I might have a crush on Kalinda (then again, who on this show doesn’t have a crush on her?), and now I’m a little worried about how her character will be adapted for the Korean audience. I know it’s going to be on tvN, but I think even cable networks would be hesitant to have a main character who’s bisexual.

I was also surprised that Logan Huntzberger is in it, too. Yeah, I know that’s not his name, but that’s all I really see when he’s on screen, so I’ve just been calling his character “Lawyer Logan.” My Gilmore Girls headcanon can totally accept that Logan went to law school.

Also I find that the husband part of the equation isn’t all that sympathetic to me, and while I think Yoo Ji Tae would do a good job with that role, I’m hoping the magic of dramas will make him more likable because it’s Yoo Ji Tae y’all.
