The Law Cafe

Plot is one of the weakest I have seen lately.

Quite cliché revenge kdrama flooded with romance and some comedy.

I think the cast is way too good for this series to be fair. I was expecting a lot more and I was pretty much disappointed.

Every storyline is quite interesting individually but they never developed them enough and were resolved in 1 or 2 episodes, which is fine but then the big main plot never got to its climax and it was just weak and poorly written, honestly the villain here is supposed to be bad but was portrayed more like a joke or a satire, I never understood why.

I loved the female lead character because she was strong, steadfast and independent but at the same time there's way too many cliches with her too and you can predict everything she ( or any of the rest of the characters) will do.

The chemistry between the leads is good though and there's many steamy scenes that you don't usually see in kdramas.

I'd say, watch it if you have nothing else to watch and want something simple and lighthearted.

The show gets better in every episode, it's a binge worthy and relaxing drama. Lee Seunggi as Kim Jungho and LeeSeyoung as Kim Yuri showed strong chemistry and perfect comedic timing. This drama is different from the usual law series as it deals with cases outside the court. It gives off a new concept and every cases is interesting as it leaves you with an important life lesson at the end and makes you think and reflect. Not to mention, the OST is also superb and background music fits every scene so well. I'm glad I gave this series a try. Definitely a drama to look forward to every week. All the best to the law cafe team.

Updated my review to a 10 after the final episode. Lee Seung-gi is cast perfectly to play the really cute intelligent male lead lawyer used to be a prosecutor under his dad. When he re-unites with his first love, who is also a lawyer, you know there will be a romance coming. Problem is, just when it starts heating up, he always runs off or rebuffs her advances because he is holding back something from her which is the theme of the whole series in the beginning - what is he holding back? Why did he quit his job? Why can't he tell her? What is it that he has to fix? It all gets revealed as romance blossoms, violence episodes with villains happen, mystery happens, more than one love interest, love doubts take hold. Loved the complete ending - leaves nothing to double about any of the characters and so love that. I liked the chemistry between Lee Seung-gi and the FLA which is rare for me so that says alot.

If I am to compare TLC to food, it's a full course with enough portions of everything. It will serve you balance sweet, salty, sour and spicy taste.

I decided to watch this because of Lee SeungGi, I missed him in a romcom drama. Of course, he never disappoints in giving me butterflies. But the drama exceeds my expectation, it is definitely more than an ordinary romcom. Their idea of bringing common people's struggles to high point and resolve the cases outside of the court is a refreshing idea to me, a law drama without the actual court set-up. The intertwined story of the main characters is also something to look forward.

I can't wait for the next episodes. I'm curious how they will solve the next case in ep.7.

Lee Seung Gi plays Jungho character flawlessly alongside with Lee Se Young who also amazingly presents Yuri character as a persistent yet caring person lawyer is the spotlight. The stories told per episode are something that we can see in our everyday life. So, watching it may like that you see your daily life. Also, we can learn several moral values through the episodes. Some issues like bullying at school and apartment residents clash with the construction company are portrait in it. Love story is also the main plotline, which go back and forth from the high school and college of Jungho and Yuri. They will surely reunite as a couple again, for sure. The supporting roles also play crucial part, especially to enhance the comedy scene. It is a rom-com drama after all. Feel the joy watching it, so worthy!
