I Hear Your Voice

A young, handsome, brilliant, clever, kind, patient, generous, monogamous, honorable, mechanically proficient, streetfighting adonis who likes to cook and clean-and who also has a superpower--falls madly in love with a cranky, narcissistic, self-centered, lazy, not-too-bright, arrogant, indifferent, rude, cold, ungrateful, ethically challenged, and slovenly public defender.

And this is supposed to be a match made in ...well, one of those places whose name begins with "H"? More like a fantasy cleverly constructed to hook impressionable teens (of the female persuasion).

As for the acting-the villain was sufficiently scary and despicable to hold my attention. And the ML managed to breathe conviction, authenticity, and adorableness into his character. The young women commenting on the top left corner of my television screen certainly thought he was the bees knees. In fact, they seemed completely besotted with him-poor babies! One of them typed, "Oh, Sweetie! When you get tired of her, come live with me!"

The FL's performance, on the other hand, was overwrought, over-acted, and downright silly in places. She had to work awfully hard at being awful. (But some of this was probably due to the impossible script-not to any lack of talent on the actress's part.)

The court cases dramatized in this series were apparently chosen to highlight the ethical enigmas inherent in the legal system. But each case was totally bizarro--fraught with conflicts of interest-and a boatload of complications. Frankly, I couldn't get worked up about any of them. The timeline was also weird-with some suspects being rushed to trial before the blood had dried on the murder weapon (metaphorically speaking). One loathsome character had murdered at least three people and tried to kill a number of others, including a child-and yet everyone felt sorry for him. Well...everyone except me.

Each time the camera focused on the jury, the jurists were nodding, shaking their head, and otherwise expressing their premature judgments for all the world to see. Yikes!

The rate is 9.5, but since I was gonna remove a star for lack of chemistry, I don't think it matters. Actual chemistry is not something I expect much from KD anymore.

The cases were really interesting. Of all the characters, my favorite was Mr Cha. He was deep and human in every possible way. I admired him, and felt for him and even found myself rooting (a bit) for his love. I can never forget him. It didn't bother me to see how miss Jang just didn't care about her clients. I know for a fact that a lot of lawyers are like that. That could be why Mr Cha seemed to be a knight in shining armour.

In fact, I liked all the characters. The friendship between the lawyer and the client he failed to help was really moving.

Of course, the plot was nothing that could happen in real life. So what? This is KD land! They still managed to turn the villain into a victim, isn't that trendy?

Lee Jong Suk was handsome as ever, but what I noticed was his great acting, especially when he grew desperate and mad. The scene with the pay phone is worth seeing.

This show is definitely one of my favorites. Tchuka!

A boy who can read thoughts becomes involved with a public defender who has links to his past. This is a well acted series with a clever plot involving a murderer seeking revenge for most of the episodes. Well paced with an interesting second male lead who is nearer the age of the prosecutor. Who will gain her trust and love ?

This is the first drama I've watched where Lee Jong Suk was one of the lead actors. I was simply amazed and kept wanting to watch the next episode, no wonder they added a few episodes after they reached the initial announced number and of course I get now why the series received so many awards.

Lee Jong Suk plays someone who has gained the ability to read minds, after he was involved in a car accident which killed his father when he was a child. The driver who hit the car, actually aimed at killing both father and child, however the main actress was present and even though she was intimidated into not going to court to testify whether the accident was no accident, she did go. The series starts basically from the point both main actors grew up. It is interesting how they meet, how they work together and how they protect one another.

I would suggest this series to anyone as I believe it can match the tastes of any viewer.

It's quite an intense drama, with a bit of everything romance, murder, a lot of rather interesting lawsuits and a dash of supernatural. Actually, I really like super powers/fantasy/etc. but the mind reading in this story was a bit strange - we weren't suggested any explanation for it and it seemed to come and go for strange reasons (it appeared because of an intense trauma and then went away when the character lost his memories, only for him to regain his powers the moment he remembered the trauma in question). The romance is cute and all the characters are very entertaining, with strong personalities (even the small side characters manage to be easy to remember). Anyway... because I'm too lazy to write a long review I'm just going to say that I recommend this to those that can get into a pretty long story (the episodes are 1h long and A LOT of things happen all the time) with a bit of interesting debates on ethics (and law).
