If you don't like silly dramas with exaggerated scenes, stay away.
7/10 Amazing with some not-so-great moments. It's silly and cute with some social justice points and mildly inappropriate romance. wouldn't be comfy watching it with my mom, but can recommend it to peers. Though this one is full of flaws in my personal opinion, I still enjoyed it and can easily recommend it.PROS:
I love how much he loved her and how he fought for her and vice versa for her at the start. There wasn't any unnecessary, "let's break up and be apart for something we can get over in two seconds if we just talk it out," kind of stuff. I also loved how even if sometimes it felt preachy, in the end, they always tried to kind of balance it out. It left a smile on my face.
The supporting characters and even the villain are just phenomenal. they made the story sometimes. You will be laughing your face off and then crying at some points as they touch on a lot of issues.
It's a happy ending and I am a sucker for those.
I'm not someone who likes to complain about plots or acting or OST because I go with the flow of the story and accept it as it is. I don't criticize the writer or blame it on the attitudes of FL or ML.
CONs:
So now that you know this, it's shocking to me that this story had so many unwarranted highs and lows with the love story, that it made me consider badmouthing the plotline in my mind, which I never do. I just hated how she always treated him like crap and he had to apologize for everything, even though he had her best interest in mind.
It also felt a little too preachy with the girl power. I'm sick of this girl power, independent woman crap that keeps getting shoved down everyone's throats in American media and now seems to be infiltrating my safe space with K-dramas. they even had to ruin her style to do it(the ugly dress, in the end, distracted the audience from the story because it was so questionable and cheap).
This honestly was the most immodestly dressed FL I've ever seen and I've watched a TON of dramas. I like K-dramas for their purity and innocence. this one broke that. if you're into that then I guess you'll love the 16+ rated scenes. I didn't. Also dislike how they turned FL into an insufferable person at times for her wild takes that made no sense.
But if you wanna have a laugh and you don't care about innocence and purity or rollercoaster love journeys, then watch it. You'll have a blast.

It has bigger potencial...but...
I give 4* because of Jo Han-Chul. I only know him as a positive character, and here he gave such psycho-switched scenes that I was incredibly fascinated. The other characters did not significantly surprise, but they did not disrupt the series either. I know the I-love-you-but-pretend-to-hate-you type of relationship rejection is corny but I enjoyed this Lee-Seung Gi fest as well as the constant bickering between the main characters in the beginning. The character of the clever and wise main female character is great. Perhaps the chemistry between the main characters on the part of Lee Se-Yeong was a little lame for me. Lee Seung-Gi was great and played it really well, but I feel that it was somehow cold from the female character's side. More emotions went out of her in The Red Sleeve with Lee Jun-Ho. On the other hand, Ahn Dong Goo was throwing such glances here that he deserves more space and scenes :). Overall, it was a fun watch, had a lot of funny scenes, and dealt with important legal issues along the way.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
fun To Watch
I started watching this drama because Lee Seung Gi is one of my favorite actors and singer. I new he would not let me down on this drama. I was right his performance was great. I fell in love with both lead characters. I love the lead female character with her strength, demanding, yelling and harshness on crooked and evilness. I loved her compaction and humanity for the victims. I love the male leading character conviction, commitment, and honesty. I love how he would appear coldhearted but yet he really was kind and loving. All the characters in this drama was great. The characters in the café made the whole Idea of the café fit into the story. The actors did a great performance which made the story sincere and believable. The twist and surprises in each episode made you wanting more. Great ending and great story.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Storyline meh, chemistry great!
First few episodes were a little hard to swallow. It’s the typical Korean shouting, bickering, slapstick humour which I don’t particularly like. I initially didn’t really like it- the typical over-reacting, the bickering and shouting, the humour etc... but it started to grow on me after a few episodes and I found myself more drawn to it. Not your typical law drama, nor your typical romance drama. The FL character is somewhat interesting- she’s loud, VERY outspoken, has no filter and will just tell you exactly what she thinks IN YOUR FACE! ??Some eps are more interesting than others..Up till around Epi 14 it was quite engaging. The villain however was just too overdone and annoying. Last two episodes was kinda dull.. so in terms of storyline it was a 7, but the chemistry between the leads was a 9. Some nice PDA scenes in Epi 11&12, and it’s a happy ending.

Though it's always predictable to see the rich and problematic businessman who does all certain things to get what he wants.
The comedic part on bits and pieces makes it enjoyable to watch without having it too heavy to digest.
Both Lee Seunggi and Lee Seyoung did a fantastic job in the comedic aspect, as for the serious acting we don't need to doubt it. But my scene stealer would be Ahn Donggoo and Kim DoHoon, it seems like they are only supporting but their supports really makes the whole team completed.
Would love to see Kim DoHoon on another project, and I hope his career will be brighter along the way.

Nice Story with great execution
There are lot of people are unaware of the laws in the society which are created by the government for people. The lawyers and rich people and many multimillionaire companies use those for their beneficial. This series leads us to being aware of your human rights and laws which we are not aware of.In the series both characters are lawyers and well educated law professionals. The story starts from the lead cast of the story resign her law firm job to start a cafe which also gives law advices to the people. The place of which The law cafe is going to open is owned by the another lead cast and hero of the series. Then many uncertain events occur between them as each episode is going.
A full of comedy, Drama, Love , Romance with some law studies The law Cafe creates a soft corner in your heart. Someone who is in Law industry must watch this series and others can also learn some of Law hacks and how the lawyers do it though!
One of the most thing I liked about the series is how they build the characters, as they are firm on their principles and attitude of doing what they do. They both do mistakes and they learn from it.
Another thing is how keep the chemistry between the two lead cast and ignite the romance between them as connecting the past scenarios and reasons behind it.

A fun light law romcom with good ensamble of actors…
What i like:- The mainleads r both great actors, they portray their characters well… ML is a smart conflicted guy who’s in luv with FL from the beginning n FL is a pretty sassy girl who is kinda annoying sometimes but also has the biggest heart… their chems is ok, especially entertaining when they were bickering…
- The supporting casts are good… i like how they r this big happy but with a bit problematic stories, who support each other throughout everything … when they r together, there r lots of funny scenes… the villain is also good, u’ll hate him for sure…
- It’s a HE with a big nice wedding where all casts are present, even their clients, the best kinda ending…
What i’m not too fond of:
- The plot is a bit too predictable… n it’s getting repetitive in some parts, like FL got a new case, she went against the big bad wolf, ML&the casts help, then somehow solved… over n over like that… however i like how the casts r there for each other from the start… i like their dynamic, n it’s what makes me like this drama… so I guess it’s not that big problem for me?
- The hostage scene in the end is ridiculous! Somehow everybody was there n watching while ML was held hostage n fought for his live… there were def times when the police could just take out the villain, but nobody did nothing… ??♀️
- The casts r just there, not really having a background story for most of them… so it’s not the kinda drama u’ll be hooked emotionally…
Anyway… i always like when they mix law with romance, for me it’s just interesting… so overall i still really enjoyed this romcom… however I wouldn’t recommend this to people who expect smart plot & some kinda twisted surprise, there is none… so just keep in mind this is a light fun watch with great casts n some funny scenes… if u like that kinda drama, then just give this one a go, u’ll like it… ?

This show should have higher ratings
The main couple is just perfection.The plot is not the best but is interesting.
As I have said before the couple is what makes the show.
The characters are likable and interesting,
It ends with a wedding what more do you want a couple that has amazing chemistry and their relationship is so healthy and it feels like their equals is partnership.
I just love this show.
Also its so funny.
All do it does deal with some heavy subject matter that might not be easy for everyone, but i really think they did a good job dealing with it especially when they were talking about consent. For the most part is keeps a light and fluffy vibe. Which I appreciate a show that can be serious and fun whiteout it feeling weird because it is a law drama.

a atuação da protagonista é uma vergonha
eu gostei muito do drama pra ser sincera, ele é visualmente muito lindo e os atores principais são muito lindos também, ao mesmo tempo que ele trás um pouco a realidade ele também não trás a realidade, e a atuação da protagonista é uma vergonha, nossa ela é extremamente linda, mas eu me sentia muito incomodada em todas as cenas de choro que ela tinha (que por incrível que pareça tinha muitas) sla gnt, o choro dela parece ser extremamente forçado e dá a impressão que ela está sorrindo em quanto chora, as lágrimas são bem secas e não dá pra sentir a emoção do personagem e sofrer junto se parece que ela está rindo, mas tirando isso até que é bomEsta resenha foi útil para você?
Great acting but with a subpar script
If only the script had been better! The combination of Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young could have made this the best drama of the year. Instead, we got a hot mess of cliches, occasional great one-liners, a few poignant moments in-between telegraphed writing, some non-sensical action sequences and a main plot that was underdeveloped and thus felt like it dragged on too long. The one saving grace of the script is the humor, which the actors played to the hilt (all of them, not just the leads).The saving grace of the overall drama is the acting of the two leads, who somehow manage to deliver some pretty ridiculous lines with enough conviction to draw you in. They're veterans, they've worked together before, and it shows. Oh, and their kissing scenes are hot even by American standards.
The first 10-11 episodes are definitely better than the latter ones. LSG said in interviews that they didn't necessarily follow the script, in order to make their characters more believable. The interviews were given two thirds through filming. I guess towards the end everyone more or less gave up on improving the script. It took several nosedives in the last few episodes.
Even though this was far from a best drama of the year, I feel that LSG deserves Best Actor just for salvaging the script. Knowing now the private hell that he was (and is) going through, I must say I'm even more impressed with his acting. No one would guess that happy-go-lucky JungHo was preparing for the battle of his life in reality, though it probably didn't take much acting to portray his sense of betrayal from family. I found LSY's acting generally strong, too, but her crying scenes were unconvincing.
I enjoy rewatching scenes from this drama, but I don't think I could sit through a whole episode again.
Still, overall I gave it a 9 b/c there is enough in there (humor, acting, hot scenes and some nice one-liners) that it's worth checking out. Also, from a sense of nostalgia, as this is probably LSG's last romcom, and he filmed it under great duress. I suspect he'll focus on 'grown-up' roles from now on, where his character doesn't need to look like an overgrown teenager. At least, his new movie seems to point in that direction.
