Don't go by my review
I'm apparently the only person in existence that didn't love this drama. This review is not intended to change anyone's mind, it's to remind me that I've seen the show and didn't like it. This show kind of creeped me out. A high schooler with an adult woman. Not just a young adult woman, but one that's old enough to have become an attorney! She was very immature and he was immature as well, but again, he was a high schooler! I loved the cast of this drama, and normally I'm tolerant of age disparity, but I couldn't get past it in this one. Because, in addition to the fact that there was such an age different, she was completely immature, which I found very irritating. I really have to be able to relate to certain characters in some fashion to get invested in a drama, and I wasn't able to do that with this show.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
The cast.. I'm very pleased with the lead actress, she is very good. She pulls off being cold, warm, strong, weak and smart. It all feels very real when she is on screen. The mail leed is a not my favourite one, but he still pulls some scenes off. I could live without his "break-down" since it's just so ugly and feel fake. The scenes he pulled off where the loving and romantic ones though. Aside from the main actors I really found the judges really amusing. And also the other lawyers. They all did a very good job on making the show more light and heartwarming and not so heavy all the time. I especially want to give credit to the Lee Da Hee who as a supporting role really did a great job acting as the "bad girl"
Music, what can I say about it. I fell in love with the opening song right away. It's great and really sets the mood. They really succeded in having the music at the right moment in different scenes. I absolutly loved it.
And to the rewatch point, I probally will rewatch this sometime, but I feel its such a great drama and it really felt good after watching the last episode. I'm just not sure i need to watch it again, it was fulfilling just by seeing it once.
Give it a chance and the show will pull you in and you will end up wanting to be a mindreader and a lawyer at the same time! :)

I was so wrong! This is one of the best dramas I have ever seen. I normally don't get in to criminal dramas but this had me hooked from the start, I was frequently laughing, surprised and also a bit teary.
The acting was really great though I wish the lead ended up with Attorney Cha, or even if there was some romantic interest for him in the end. I found Park Soo Ha didn't have much of a personality to be honest, except as a bodyguard. The romance itself was okay but not spectacular, though it was enough to keep me interested when the story started to lag a bit.
Despite this, I recommend this drama to everyone to watch, even if you don't like criminal dramas you will after this. The story is great, the actors are great, seriously watch this now.

If you start it once you'll have to go to end.Personally I started this drama because of Lee Jang Suk but seriously it's so GREAT drama that I enjoy all of it's episodes. I liked the story & characters. I truly liked the character of Hye Sung, she is strong & wild & do what she thinks is right.All the actors are great in preforming their characters. SUPERB!!! I want to see that psycho behind the bars. He deserve it. But he preformed his character so good that I actually start hating him then I remembered "THIS IS A DRAMA".
Well this is MUST WATCH DRAMA

It may seem too much to give 10/10 but seriously: I couldn't stop watching it because it was that good.
It has the perfect mix of romance, school, thriller, comedy and slice of life at the same time.
The story line was smooth and not confusing or drifting away at all. With so many dramas I'm disappointed because it gets boring somewhere in the middle - NOT HERE. Every episode has its own peak and it is exciting up until the very last scene.
I loved the cast, every character was so unique and special in their own way, which made them so loveable and also so near to ourselves because we all have those feelings they have. And they made you cry sometimes...yes, this drama makes you cry good, but only sometimes.
It's a very moving story and you can feel the emotions of every character even if it's the antagonist.
Also well done on the music - there were very nice piano songs I should find on youtube to put them on my playlist haha :D
I would also rewatch it again because it's such a cute, moving and also nerve-wrecking story - well done!
OVERALL 10/10 <3

Hye Sung is a really individual personality! She wanted to look like uppish and scornful but she was fair what I liked in her. Her character changing was very good.
While I watched the drama the age difference didn't disturb me. The casts were harmonic and the episodes were engrossing. I couldn't bored 1 minute neither. It's one of the best dramas for me. There are always interesting twists and affairs. Must see!

A deeply touching love story wrapped in revenge, reget and the law.
If you're looking for the sort of "fun while it lasts but forgettable when it ends" Kdrama romcom format that's all the rage these days you won't find it here: I Hear Your Voice is anything but forgettable. Its message that everyone deserves to be heard and treated with compassion to avert deeper tragedies - on the personal or societal level - is both melancholy and cheesily heartfelt in the best way and the romance has the same mix of emotional complexity and lightheartedness.First, let's lay some groundwork:
1. The age gap. If you enjoyed Hidden Love it's doubtful you'll have a problem with it considering the leads are the same age when they get together: ML is 19 and FL is in her mid-twenties.
2. MDL complaints about every noona romance having "no chemistry" smack of toxicity. So if you can't get over the visuals of an older FL with a younger ML: don't watch it. Maybe examine your life and your choices.
3. It's no surprise most negative reviews are from people who hate FL or the romance because it features very non-traditional gender roles for a Kdrama. FL plays the ML role: she's an arrogant tsundere who brings home the bacon and can't trust or rely on others. ML plays the FL role: he's a supportive sweetheart who does all the housework and struggles with self worth. Somehow this makes both leads awful to a certain subset because ML behavior from a FL (and vice versa) is unforgivable. See again: your life, your choices.
But enough about the patriarchy. On to the plot.
The format is a mix of episodic and main story with the episodic cases introducing you to how public defenders work in South Korea sprinkled with social commentary. Judges and prosecutors have all the power and a 99% conviction rate; the public defender's job is to make nice and plea for leniency. Not that that stops FL once she gets going because even at her apathetic worst she has a better sense of justice than prosecutor frenemy SFL who's one step away from "I am the law" authoritarian. It's their rivalry that drives the legal story, aided by FL's pragmatic boss, idealistic co-worker SML and ML who forces FL to see the best in herself and is always ready to lend a hand when she can't.
The revenge is a slow burn that develops with the romance as it guides all the connected characters back together to deal with the fallout from a series of events in the past. Not exactly unique for Kdramas, but the difference here is how intensely personal everything is. There's no psycho villain, genius mastermind or corrupt chaebol pulling strings behind the scenes: just flawed people who make difficult choices they have to take responsibility for and struggle and grow as they do.
And no one starts more flawed or grows more than ML or FL. Their romance is them patching up the damaged parts of each other (sometimes literally) through their give and take relationship. It's not a perfect green flag with the circumstances but if you want to watch two leads work out their issues while cutely cohabiting and desperately trying to save each other this really doesn't have a match. FL's journey from someone unwilling to risk herself for others to standing up for ML, her clients and what's right even when there's no chance of success is inspiring to watch. Same with ML starting as someone who completely denies himself in heartbreaking ways because of his trauma to someone who values himself enough to assert himself in heart fluttering territory. I've never rooted so hard for two leads to get together or felt so fulfilled when they finally did.
Honestly, the worst thing I can say about I Hear Your Voice it is it has some gratuitous wrist grabbing near the beginning, some messy SFL family drama near the end and it looks like it was made in 2013. Because it was! If you can get past the older tropes and the uncanny valley of the soap opera effect, it's smooth sailing to a memorable story and the best noona romance I've seen yet.

Wow, this drama is a masterpiece.
Story: I loved it. There was never a moment when I was bored and it was indeed a very well written story. The villain really was impressive. In this drama, I cried, laughed, and felt anxious. It was like a rollercoaster ride. There is suspense, romance, and lastly, A GOOD ENDING! The romance was NOT too much! It was perfect. There was a balance of everything. One of the kdramas I've watched that did not disappoint. And I mean it. It deserves a 10. Good pacing too! Everything is connected, no plotholes!! I'm usually a fan of HongKong dramas due to their fast pacing and great actors/actresses but this kdrama lived up to all of my standards. Definitely a must watch. Needless to say more? PERFECTION.Acting/Cast: Even though, Lee Bo young & Jong Suk aren't the best couple imo, they definitely acted beautifully!
Music: Ooooh, the feels.
Rewatch Value: I will watch this drama again sometime but I already have recently so it'll a while until then.
Overall: This well written masterpiece deserves NO LESS THAN a PURE 10/10. Must watch. I definitely recommend.
