Hyena

Not gonna lie but I started this drama for Kim Hye-soo (the brilliant leading actress as Jung Geum-ja). This is not really a drama about court and legal cases, it's more about the characters - how Yoon Hee-Jae and Jung Geum-ja do things similarly but also very differently. The script is good, something totally different from the cliche romantic kdrama (no offence), the acting of Hye-soo and Ju Ji-hoon are excellent as always. Hye-soo really can pull off a wide range of characters, I can't think of any other Korean actresses that can do a great job portraying this role. (So, kudos, Hye-soo unnie.) What I didn't expect that I'd root for is the chemistry and tension between the two main characters. I don't usually get attached to pairings on kdrama but this is really good. A must watch, trust me.

Loved every single moment: Great actors. Great acting. Extremely well-written script, witty alongside a good portion of humor. Also, love to get an insight to the Korean culture, their way of thinking and the lifestyle. Definitely worth a binge. 😄

From IMDB: "Hyena' deals with very competitive private lawyers who only work for the richest 1% of society. Stars: Ju Ji-Hoon, Kim Hye-su, Kyeong-Yeong Lee."

Of course there's much more to pack into 16 x one hour episodes, in this (so far) first series. Hopefully there will be a second. IMO, it's that good.

Standout amongst the three main leads is veteran S. Korean actress Kim Hye-Su, who plays lawyer 'Jung Geum Ja', at high powered law firm 'Song & Kim.' IMO she steals every scene and is the epitome of a mature Bad Azz Boss Lady, who grew up poor and worked with "lowlifes" before being recruited for 'Song & Kim', as she was rough and tough and willing to bend the rules. With short hair and couture clothes she gets the job done. (BTW: She is a third Dan Black Belt Taekwondo, in real life and her nickname from fans is "Wonder Woman.")

Of course there's romance, betrayal and jealousy - as usual at the law firm, where gossiping is a way of life, and Jung uses her female wile's to get what she wants, when she wants it - leading her into a 'love-hate' relationship.

Clever and fast paced, this 'Hyena' series will keep you satisfied until the end. I rate same an easy 9/10.

I have watched a few courtroom based Kdramas and this one I classify as epic! Not a dull moment and omg don't even get me started on the last 2 episodes that were out of this world hilarious, amazing and downright addictive.

Kudos to the writer for such an outstanding character like Jung Geum Ja, and Kim Hye Soo who portrays her. I bow down to the mistress. Let's be honest, the woman stole the show and every scene she was in.

I need a season 2!!!

Okay one episode but man was this a wild ride, going along kind of fun and cute and maybe 45 min into it all hell breaks lose, never ever seen KD have a first episode impact like this, Kim Hye Soo is the best Korean actress in my book and the most beautiful still i wont watch a bad show because of pretty face.Give it a chance and don't give up on it Three episodes in now and its getting even better, this is one vicious bitch, her sidekick assistant is funny and cute adds a lot to the show.
