Legal High

Comedic genius. First half is delightful comedy, second half is more drama. Male lead killed it. How female lead character portrayed made you question one more time 'is this a gimmick?' Do Korean female adults go to college and still leave with naivety of children to the extent that you wonder if higher education doesn't result in fundamental maturing or is this embedded flaw in how women are depicted? It is one thing to have a specific aim in sketching a character but one that is detrimental to the final goal is insanity.

Nevertheless others pushed past that. Both the male lead and the actor who was the boss's in-law left no stone unturned. They mashed it up! The elders are always on point. Excellence is always demonstrated in their acting. The one other disappointment was the actor who played the trainee of male lead. He was pigeonholed and fell flat. He is normally dynamic and outstanding as a supporting actor but this was below his norm by far. Director's error. Can't box him in.

This, along with female lead character, is what led to poor ratings. But others who have on average 8 or 9 stars can't touch this. Just can't. But excellent and popular, while seemingly synonyms in TV world aren't even cousins in real life. One of my friends from school once got 11/10in an assignment for which partner got 8. My point? The hits outweigh the misses.

This is pure entertainment. I love the eccentric personality of the charactors. The whole show is good energy.. The humor has engaged the entire time.

Very underrated but one of the best KDramas I've seen. Cleverly, intelligently written. Hilarious and funny but serious and thought provoking at the same time. Fast paced. Gets more interesting in each episode.

Great leads and supporting cast. No nuisance characters or substories like in other KDramas (acting as fillers or extenders) to make it to 16 eps. Everyone, everything in Legal High has his/her/its place.

Lots of sudden twists and turns. Some are quite hilarious.

Great visuals, too, cast, setting, locations.

Jin Goo (Descendants of the Sun second male lead) and Seo Eun Soo (Dr Romantic) are perfect for their lead roles, especially Jin Goo. The supporting characters are also very remarkable especially the elderly man playing Mr "I once was...." Gu.

And that episode 16 dual court room scenes are so well executed.

Lots of genres represented. Mainly legal and comedy, with a bit of action, drama, romance, medical, paranormal, crime/investigation.

Among the Legal KDramas (or KDramas with court scenes) I've seen, Legal High is now on top of my list, because it really is fun to watch.

Male lead acted in Descendant of the Sun as a stern army officer. In the present drama, he is in a completely different role, a hilarious lawyer. He acts so well and is in par with his Japanese counterpart.

Female lead looks innocent and fits her role perfectly.

My only complaint, that makes me delete 3 marks, is the plot. It is copied directly from the Japanese original. I prefer new law cases.

People who have watched the series descendants of the sun will understand just how much passion this actor has and the way he delivers each of his scene in this is just brilliant. I must say never thought I would be into korean tv series but wow just wow. They have gone above and beyond to bring the audience some of the best shows out there. Trust me guys have a go and you won't regret it.
