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.

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.

A real great KDrama. A must watch. Very fun to watch though the court cases are actually serious. Very fast paced. Great leads and cast. Very nice visuals. Finished watching this in 2 days.

A farce in the best tradition of the genre with outrageous exaggerations, rapid-fire delivery of the comedic lines with impeccable timing, and appropriate supporting roles acting as the foil to the absurdities of the farcical elements.

Lee Soon-Jae is noteworthy as the wise and calming counterbalance to Tae Rim's off-the-wall antics, a butler who always seems to be on top of all the madness. Seo Eun-su playing the female lead Seo Jae In, exhibits a satisfying character arc as the initially naïve, innocent and idealistic young intern who gradually comes to see Tae Rim's hidden motives and eventually incorporates them into her own approach to her legal practice without the bombastic approach of her mentor.. I rated this an 8 because the script apparently is an adaptation of a Japanese series, thus diminishing to some extent the originality and creativity of the Korean scriptwriters.

I love watching KDrama. It's one of my de-stressing outlets in this pandemic. Romcom and comedy are the genres I love best.

I've never laughed so hard since Welcome to Waikiki 1. Legal High is really really fun and easy to watch. It's so captivating that I finished it in just 1 weekend.

Fortunately, there's Business Proposal that I am following now that gives the same feel good vibes as Legal High.
