About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, goofy mix of courtroom comedy and martial arts in the spirit of King of Beggars or Forbidden City Cop; Not for you if you prefer grounded legal dramas or subtle humor.
Pros: goofy courtroom setup; martial arts energy; eccentric duo | Cons: broad humor style; very silly tone; light realism
