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.

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!

I couldn't even finish the first episode of this horrible series. It's so childish, pretentious and over-the-top pretentious. The overacting by all the characters, especially those male actors were just disgusting, they looked and acted more feminine than the real women. The weird hairdo of the Korean young guys or even older men, with ugly hairs covering their foreheads is such a disgusting trendy hairstyle popularized by the K movies and dramas. The formulaic twisted and zigzag way of talking by the males also make them feel more like females. Then the poorly scripted dialog, making her look at the camera, delivering a narrative monologue again and again was another formulaic acting cliche that we often see in the K drama series or movies other than talking to themselves to let viewers know what's going on in their brain; their thoughts got to be exposed through their mouths. I really don't know how all of these viewers gave this moronic, pretentious, childish, overly exaggerated series such high ratings, almost every one of them is from 8/10 to 10/10, while I couldn't not survive its 1st episode.
