The Law Cafe

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.

6 episodes in and am already falling deep inlove with #TheLawCafe.

Apart from the solid and undoubtedly strong chemistry between #LeeSeungGi & #LeeSeYoung, the adaptation of the web novel and the script are well written and executed. The cliche's have a refreshing spin to it, and each episode's ending leaves you curious about what our characters will do next. The sensitive social issues are tastefully dealt with and the strong performances from every cast member leave a mark.

Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young's chemistry is undeniably strong, both their eye-acting is enough to make you feel all the feels!

Definitely a KDrama worth binging and repeating. It's a rom-com drama with all the right twists.👌👍

Finally finished this drama for 3 days. What I can say about this drama is that it was good at the beginning of the drama but in the middle it was quite boring. The story begins with FL father being involved in a case and being accused of being the cause of the deaths of many people in the factory he works in and the person judging him is ML father who was bribed. The story is very monotonous because it is easy to predict, like FL doing law counseling and being helped by ML and so on until the end of the drama. The romance isn't really felt in this drama because from the start there has been a very long time skip from teenage school days to work, so ml and fl already know each other and the romance approach isn't really felt because ml already had feelings from the start and fl had feelings at the beginning. At the start of the episode, it can be said that everyone likes each other, which is a bit of a shame because the romance genre and the law genre, as usual, don't really match because the law is more pronounced in this drama than the romance genre. Overall I gave this drama a score of 7-7.5, even though in the final episodes like episode 14, 16 I skipped a lot of scenes because I was bored, but in the end I was able to finish this drama.

I very much enjoyed The Law Cafe - the leads had great chemistry and the story was interesting and engaging. That being said, it was littered with cliches and should very much have been labelled/categorized as a melodrama. I was not expecting so many predictable and overly used plot devices, so that definitely affected my rating. These cliches made the story feel at times overly dramatic and sometimes even ridiculous. Although I was certainly never bored.

The acting was good all around, but I have to say the absolute stand out performance for me was the wildly entertaining, entirely insane character played by Jo Han-Chul. He completely stole every scene he was in, and at least half of my enjoyment came from watching him acting like a total lunatic.

Overall I enjoyed this, but probably wouldn't recommend it. Both the leads have been in much better dramas, and seeing them in those would be time better spent.

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.
