Well, I watched this drama because it was trending all over the Internet, everyone seemed to love it, so i just felt like i have to watch it, but then i was quite disappointed, not because it was bad, but it just wasn't THAT good ! I mean, i've watched A LOT of other dramas which were faaaar better than this one, but they are unfortunately underrated :/

The story was the best thing about this drama, but still, it wasn't very reasonable at some points, as for the acting, they were all great actors, but sometimes they were OVERREACTING.
And the thing i hated the most, was the love story, i don't know if it is just me, but i really really hate it when the girl is toooooooo old for the boy !!! he seemed to be her child, it was disgusting ... beurk!

Really the best of kdrama

10/10 is my rating. This is a 2013 South Korean television series with 18, 60 minute, episodes.

Jan Hye-sung (Lee Bo-young) and Park Soo-ha (Lee Jong-suk) share a bond around a crime that occurred when they were children. One was a victim and the other a witness. The tragic event impacts the lives of both main characters as well as the daughter of Hye-sung's mother's former employer (Hye-sung grew up with the daughter as her mother was a live in housekeeper). The killer vows revenge on Hye-sung for her testimony as a witness and Soo-ha states his intent to protect Hye-sung for her brave deed. Time passes and Hye-sung becomes a defense attorney. She had an impoverished childhood which makes her original intention in law just to make money. Soo-ha looks for Hye-sung knowing the killer will soon be released. Hye-sung does not immediately recognize Soo-ha from that childhood connection. However, when she finds out he has a unique ability, he can hear what people are thinking, she beings to utilize his skill in the court room to solve cases. Soo-ha's childhood housemate and frenemy has now become a prosecutor (who was with Hye-sung and was also a witness to the crime but did not testify). When the killer is out he begins his plot for revenge but in a society where reform is believed in, will anyone believe the two that he hasn't changed? Soo-ha will stop at nothing to protect Hye-sung but can she convince him that killing the killer makes him no better?

Spoiler 🚨 I loved everything about this drama. It had romance (and a love triangle of course), suspense, action and mystery. It was very well acted - I have loved everything I have seen with Lee Jong-suk. The roles he takes are complex and the storylines are always exciting and surprising. Lee Bo-young's evolution from a non caring only out for me person to someone that cares deeply about justice is great to see. You can tell it was always there and just took the right person and right set of circumstances to develop. I also liked the friendships that developed and the competitive nature of both the women and men who bettered themselves through their interactions with each other. It is a deep, moving and complex story. I would put it at the top of any list to watch especially for those that love a good mystery or suspense romance. Just a great drama!

A drama that focuses entirely on character development through the use of the plot. Each episode was paced extremely well with no dragging or rushed moments. The two leads, Lee Bo Young and Lee Jong Suk, had a great brother/sister chemistry that later transformed into a passionate romance. The first noona romance I've seen, I can say I've thoroughly enjoyed this show. Lee Bo Young's acting is exceptional as expected from a senior actress with her ability to play any trait for her character well. I was shocked to discover this was one of Lee Jong Suk's starting dramas, seeing how he has already established himself as a A-grade veteran actor. The ending wrapped up nicely, but there were a few plot holes that I almost forgot about. The court scenes were quite unrealistic unfortunately. The OST wasn't memorable but did justice to the scenes it was in.

Just finished this great drama. It has drama, action, legal aspects, comedy and romance in it. Its my first time watching actor Lee Jong-Suk. He is amazing. I will be watching more of his dramas or movies. I also liked the noona romance on this drama. Its so heartfelt and touching. Its also so cool that Lee Jong-Suk's role can read minds. Overall, casting is good and story is right on. Highly recommended!

This is actually a good drama, because it teaches you something. After watching this, you will think about life. I like some of the quotes here. It taught you about courage and justice. The leads here are not perfect but they grow in the series, we can see how they become a better person by the end of the story.

For my preference, I like attorney cha more than park soo ha. Maybe it's kinda weird to have noona and younger boy relationship haha. i think it's better if it does not have love story between Soo-Ha and Hye-Sung. Perhaps they can stay as brother and sister.

Anyway, apart of that, well, the story is good.

REVIEW
I really enjoyed watching this. There's no dull moments here. Even the side characters are powerful contributors to the vibe of the show. I love how they tied all the themes so nicely together. It made the whole drama a coherent piece of art.

Law
Yes, they're clever with the way they use the words. “not guilty” could there ever be sweeter or more evil words?

Romance
I love that the love declarations are just followed by, “Now off you go.” That Korean modesty is charming.

RAMBLINGS
Don't like the hero's looks. His face is annoying. I liked the opening fight scene. That was fun. Don't like heroine's attitude. But she's not wide-eyed ditzy, which is refreshing. She's mean. Which is also engaging. Of course the clincher is that the dude can read minds. That makes it interesting.
I'm curious as to how the romance will play out with the blatant age gap.
The cops are so friendly. That's nice.
Another trend, the girl patching up the hero...with cotton buds.
I like that he's already shown his physical dominance earlier on so from now on, it will just be mind games.
I'm glad the exits don't have the malicious corny smile.
I kind of like how she's impressed by Cha.
These poor kids, stuck in class till 9pm!
It's kind of cute that she likes the geeky Cha.
I like that she is feisty but she's not going to necessarily snap in hysterics when someone snaps at her.
This mother is always hysterical.
Hye Seong is so terrible.
Aww, oh dear, nobody wants him and now Hye Seong is being all rejecting.
“I'm going to admit that I was wrong, you idiot!”
And then he smiles, and everything is alright with the world.
This is the cutest love triangle.
Park Soo Ha was really quick to apologise. Why is that so sexy?
This kid is really good at crying.
I think there's a really good depiction of the Asian mother who will beat the child, call the child lousy, but yet be so damn proud of her and believe in her.
I don't know, I get a kick out of others being intimidated by the hero just because he knows how to use body language.
It is a bit amusing to watch Secret Garden and then come back to this and imagining the stiff Cha in leopard print.
The title of Episode 10 is “What's the purpose of searching for a painful memory?” With the music and Park Soo Ha's tentative tone, it's a bullseye.
the bromance between Cha and Yoo Chang is hilarious.
And also coming back to this drama after having a week long break, makes me really appreciate the soundtrack.
Even the way they film his body language is so brilliant.
You've really got to love how they develop the romance.
After he tells her the truth...what an incredible scene. Bravo. Bravo. And the music! Gut-wrenching.
“Let's look into each other's eyes and laugh together.” That is probably the sweetest thing she could say to him. Also, she's just going for it. I love it.
Isn't it weird that the judges are so scared of Lawyer Jang?
This guy is so tough as Lawyer Cha. I honestly, have no trouble going between Secret Garden and this. I completely forgot he was Oska.
Good one. “I'm not asking you to bury the truth, I'm asking you to look at the person first.”
She is stupid, but that look of defiance? She's damn brave too.
