Anyways, I really liked the story. You know, law and order, the boy trying to keep a childhood promise, and the girl becoming lawyer...It is sweet and touching.
No need to mention that all three leads' acting-chemistry was really good. Yoon sang- hyun, I love you! ^^
and Lee Jong Suk, he just cries so good that when I see him crying my eyes become watery,too. -.-
THe only problem is in the second half of the drama, the story kind of loses its' spark and we have long,unnecessary episodes..I think the writers wanted to show us Soo-ha's growing up and I admit that it was necessary for the plot.
But, that murder case and love interests between these three took slightly different twists than I expected so, honestly I had to skip some parts.
I have to give it to them though, I did like the final.....^^
One last thing is....there is one specific OST which I listen to at certain times...It is so emotional that I would love/want to meet the composer so much...That music fits the story so well...*.* Maybe that's why I keep remembering this drama.
P.S. The poster is very beautiful and meaningful,right?

Shades of justice.
Drama, supernatural rom-com fictional story, don't count only on that. This story tells how hard is to forgive some one. If you think justice have only one shade, then you must watch all episodes. Stubborn nature of human for revenge, only take person to destruction, loneliness. How injustice can destroy the families, shown beautifully. Hope you guys love this series.Acting, direction, casting is fabulous. Key point in this drama is story. How story turn your view about all characters shown beyond the expectation.

The acting was impressive. Lee Jong Suk stole my heart! The first drama i have seen with him and for me it's his best drama even now at the end of 2016 it is still his best. The female lead is a great actress i love her, i love them both XD
The music 10/10 the OST is now 3 years later still in my head...lol.....

This drama was recommended and as I was open to recommendations, I went in with little knowledge of the story other than a brief summary indicating it would revolve around law. After episode six, I desperately appealed to people who have watched this with one simple question "does this ever get good?" I feel people who don't get the rave reviews asked the same question. The whole drama in general has a feel good lackadaisical aspect about it. The law is poorly done, the characters uninteresting and there is little to cling to. I was told the characters are very compelling. Yet, you have a pretty boy highschooler crashing on his "noona" who helped him like 10 years ago, I'm surprised he remembers her. Unsurprisingly, the "noona" happens to be a pretty lawyer who is hired for no reason at all. She is neither qualified nor has taken her job seriously prior to that point. Then is the innocent lawyer Cha who is actually, the only character I felt any affection towards. The acting though is decent, nothing worth raving about. I've seen them all in different dramas before and the feeling is the same.
The selling point could have been the villain, who is the best actor in this alongside the mom. However, he is such a nonsensical villain who up to episode 10 has no backstory hence rendering anyone who can't tolerate this anymore, disinterested. It starts with him committing a murder which is never explained. He then nonsensically wants to kill the girl/later woman who witnessed his murder and testified against him. What makes even less sense is that no preventative measures are taken by this little girl and her family to prevent any future mishaps. I'm just saying if I testified against someone and they yelled they were going to kill me. I would not only expect witness protection but I would appeal to the government and relocate somewhere! Plus, evidently, you can now burst into a courtroom and just testify.
It would have been great if the villain plotted his revenge well, but it's not that any of his actions are done well. It's that the officers and system is so terribly incompetent that I just don't get it. That is unintentionally incompetent. The drama doesn't portray it so but you find yourself wondering why no one is investigating shit or even finding very blatant evidence that I as a viewer could find...
I honestly have so much more I can write about especially in regards to how incompetent they are as lawyers and what a dumb law system that is that seems to pardon people based on reasoning rather than evidence. My 5 is generous.

When I read the intro for this drama I liked the whole concept idea for a moment thought it would be a nice twist to the regular K-dramas with a hint of police work (You know something like CSI). But truth be told it was far away from my expectations.
The acting was well done, nice amount of humor, not enough "police feeling" and perhaps too much DRAMA. I don't regret watching it, but I would definitely not watch it again at least in like 20-30 years from now. This could have been completed on a 16 episode series 17 tops. The last one for sure it was a waste of Time.
But... I guess as a drama addict you must face all kind of dramas.

Charming, solid plotline, cute and intense moments, but lacking in a subtle way.
So, I've always been a fan of older lady-and younger guy love stories. Maybe its because it's unrepresented in Kdramas and maybe I like it because I'm in an age gap relationship myself, but I always like watching dramas with this premis to see how they are going to do them. I found this drama while searching for these type of stories, and after all the glowing reviews and the supernatural element I was super excited going into this.'I Hear Your Voice' is a really good drama and I enjoyed it immensely. But in my humble opinion (which as you can see many disagree with) it could have been better. Why? Maybe my expectations were too high after reading these reviews but... well, my biggest disappointment with this drama is that I feel like the leads lack chemistry. As I watched, I was sold on the male lead loving the female, but I didn't quite get the same intensity from the female lead towards the male. Maybe its because I watched 'A Witch's Romance' just before this drama and their chemistry in that is the best i've seen in a Kdrama EVER-- its hard to top that level of interaction and chemistry and perhaps I went into this a bit spoiled. But in 'I Hear Your Voice' the FL falls in love very subtly, and as such, maybe its too subtle. The ML feelings are immediate and intense, they are a core part of the plot, and at first she isn't on the same page, but when she catches feelings, it seems a bit forced. And while it was nice watching them those feelings play out, I kept hoping they'd have super heart-stopping romantic scenes and they never truly did. I mean yes there are many cute moments between them, but as someone who loves to internally squee at cute scenes, there just wasn't enough for me, and this made me sad. And part of the problem might be that the second male lead is a great match for the female lead too, in terms of personality and chemistry--so it's almost difficult to root for the main male over the second lead at times. In the end, I felt like I wasn't given enough GOOD reasons to want the two leads together, even though Jang Hye Sung seemed to be drawn to Park Soo Ha, I would have liked to feel it from her more intensely. Ultimately she treats him like a child for a lot of it (and he acts like one too sometimes) and I never felt the drama managed to quite break that dynamic for me-- perhaps because Park Soo Ha's actor comes across as so young in this. His inital attraction to the FL starts as a crush when he is a boy, and the drama (in my opinion) never quite shakes this-- He really does seem like a High School Student with a long-lingering crush. Dont get me wrong, the love story is cute AF, but I would have liked to see their love evolve and feel more 'real' and I was disappointed in that respect personally.
Other things I didn't like were just tropey things that plague most dramas-- the 'horror movie' trope where people do stupid stuff instead of running away, taking precautions, etc, are par for the course for kdramas so it was fine, but they did rely on it a bit to advance certain dramatic plot points, which was frustrating. Also some of the courtroom stuff was kinda laughable in the way it was dramatized-- they tried really hard to make the legal stuff seem realistic, but they definitely broke/bent the law in this drama to fit the plot and it is a tiny bit silly at times. That said, the second female lead-- the rival lawyer of the LF was great though, and they do an amazing job of turning her from conceited villainess to a real person with real feelings. And the main villain really shines too--- he is terrifying at times, and is a real highlight of the show. In fact, all the acting of the side characters in this is really solid, and at times they outshine the leads.
The plot itself was very different and rather cool with the supernatural element in it, and the premise itself is where the drama shines. Its very clever and riveting and it makes you sad and mad and all at once. I was stuck on the edge of my seat for a lot of this drama. I was not bored at all and I dont think I fast forwarded unlike I usually do with other dramas. The flashbacks of the female lead are also where this shine, Kim So Hyun does an amazing job as the young version of Jang Hye Sung, and those scenes stood out to me as really memorable.
Over all, it was a pleasant drama with a great premise, intense moments and quite good acting. It's a good first step into noona-type romance kdramas. If you are a fan of that type of kdrama definitely give this one a try! The suspenseful story will keep you hooked for sure. It's not my fave Kdrama but its definitely worth watching.

When clichés are done right
There is a reason why some plot points are overused so much that those become clichéd because when those are done right, you get something wonderful.This drama contains a lot of clichés --
Traumatic past/childhood ✅
Leads childhood connection ✅
killer chasing female lead ✅
love triangle ✅
temporary amnesia plot ✅
situational cohabitation ✅
Frenemies ✅
I hear your voice is not a typical fantasy romance drama because despite having fantasy element like Mind-reading it still is very much rooted in reality. It's a heavily character driven drama where each character has it's own charm with strengths, shortcomings and dedicated character growth.
characters :-
1. Jang hye sung (Lee Bo Young) :-
One of the best female protagonist in any kdrama. A strong female with imperfect/flawed personality. She is not an ideal character but rather a realistic character who has her shortcomings , embarrassing moments, selfishness yet comes out stronger as the situation demands. She comes out childish and immature at times like, when attorney shin was ashamed that he couldn't get justice to his client in the past which hye sung did but she was cluelessly asking him again and again to praise her, and also acts selfishly at times like when she didn't have any proofs for min joon guk's trial in her mother's case she begged seo do yeon to do anything to get him behind the bars But when she is faced with challenges where she herself was wrong like the twins case or the gramps case, she does not hide it and tries to fix her wrongdoings.
2. Park soo ha (Lee jong suk):-
Another protagonist with tragic past and a supernatural ability however what makes him different is how he matures with each episode. He is somebody who has a tragic past and the ability to read minds because of which he does not act like typical teenagers However he is still immature in his own ways e. g. He has a very perfect image of jang hye sung in her mind whom he is writing in his diary however when he faces her in reality his delusions are immediately shattered which shocks him so much that he throws that diary in dustbin however he picks it up immediately after a few second because he still have a debt to pay for saving his life. His character has seen a tremendous growth throughout the season e. g. when he meets min joon guk at the restaurant he loses his temper however later on when he kidnaps hye sung, soo ha doesn't lose temper and calmly tries to solve the situation , first he confirms that whether hye sung is really there and also informs the police beforehand. There are other examples of his growth too like how his behaviour towards attorney cha changes overtime.
3. Min joon guk (Jung Woong In):-
A perfect villain who was once a kind-hearted human being but slowly turns into a cold-hearted pure evil villain. I didn't feel sympathetic with him at the end because in the quest of revenge he actually became so evil that he was not only attacking people to whom he has resentment (park joo hyuk or jang hye sung) but also innocent people who actually treated him well ( hye sung's mother, attorney cha and the fruit seller lady). He was well aware that he has gone too far ( even asks that random lady the same question in a roundabout way ) however he decided to still walk on the same path
4. Cha Gwan-woo (Yoon Sang hyun):-
A very mature and idealistic lawyer who losses things he care about because of his ideals e. g. He tried to save his girlfriend's mother's murder suspect despite knowing his connection with hye sung's past which lead him to lose hye sung as his girlfriend and in the end it turns out that he was wrong all along because of which he was so ashamed that he resigned from his job. However there are many moments throughout the show where his maturity even outshines the leads
5. Seo Do Yeon ( Lee da hee) :-
Very selfish and Mean prosecutor superficially but a very complex character who regrets her past actions yet still embarrassed to admit her mistakes. Her growth arc is one of the best.
6. Hye sung's mother (Kim hae sook):-
Best mother in the world
7. Seo Dae-Sook ( Jung dong-Hwan) :-
Somebody who never admits his mistake
8. attorney shin ( yoon joo sang):-
a wise senior public defender who has many regrets
The soundtrack of this drama is amazing especially "why did you come now" from jungyup or the acoustic version of "Echo" from The band "every single day".
There many trivial scenes which makes this drama special for me e. g. the train scene where hye sung sees all the used news papers and realize how bad her attitude was towards that old gramps or the dance scene of hye sung's mother where despite acting cold on-phone to her daughter she was dancing in happiness.
I've seen many kdramas and cdramas but this is the first time I'm writing review because I loved this drama that much.

Good Drama :)
Story (My key points):- I am not a fan of the first half of this drama. I thought it was pretty slow and it was missing something to keep my attention during the first 8 or so episodes. There were parts I did like though, just not the majority.
- However, the second half did keep my attention for the most part. I loved a lot of the character's interactions! Their struggles with their morals and decisions were great to watch and everyone learned from each other throughout the show.
-The court cases were ok, I was a little disappointed with one of them as I wanted to see the end result but overall they helped to develop the characters :)
- I don't feel strongly about the romantic relationship. I actually shipped the leads with different people for a while because the relationship seemed one-sided. The noona romance ended up being cute but they could have ended up in a sibling/platonic relationship and I wouldn't be bothered. Something wasn't 100% clicking for me so I'm neutral when it comes to the romance.
Acting/Cast- I grew to like almost all the characters in this show (The villain is the main exception haha) The acting was good and funny when needed! Certain moments were kind of awkward but I think they fit the essence of the show. In conclusion, the cast/acting was good :)
Music- The music fit the show well! My favorite song is Why Did You Come Now by Jung Yup <3
Rewatch Value- I typically don't rewatch shows but if I did I probably wouldn't rewatch this one but it's a good drama! Maybe if someone else was watching it for the 1st time I would watch with them but I'm unlikely to on my own.
Even though the 1st half of the show wasn't my favorite, I liked the 2nd half (it was interesting and there was great character development). If you're a fan of any of the actors/actresses I think this drama is worth the watch! Happy watching :)

THE CHARACTERS
First of all, I did love/hate the characters (that is always a good sign if I hate a character). Jang Hye Sung played very well by Lee Bo Young, well, she was simply repulsive through the first half of the show and then I loved her for the last half. The writers and the actress did a fabulous job fleshing out the somewhat incompetent defense lawyer. From her nasty eating habits to her prickly attitude, she was not boring in the least. She was a perfect foil to the upright forth right outstanding lawyer Cha nicely done by Yoon Sang Hyun and the hot headed but very loyal young Park Soo Ha (Lee Jong Suk – I might have to add him to my oppa list).
The three make for a very interesting and plausible love triangle that did not nauseate me in the least. A whole host of other interesting legal-type characters such as Prosecutor Seo Do Yeon (Lee Da Hee), Defense Lawyer Shin Sang Duk (Yoon Joo Sang), and Judge Kim Kong Sook (Kim Kwang Gyu) plus a few more lawyerly types kept things interesting. A little levity was provided by high school friends played by Park Doo Shik and Kim Ga Eun. All in all, there wasn’t a character that wasn’t nicely written or portrayed in the whole show.
THE STORY
So then, why don’t I give this 10 out of 10? Simply, because it wasn’t funny. It was actually quite scary and sad. We see the murder of parents and the subsequent trials for them. We see a father who was obsessed with always being right….no matter the cost. There is also a case of a false accusation and a mother losing her livelihood because of it, causing the family to be homeless for a time. All of this could be just fine and actually really good, especially the mind reading part if there would just have been a moment of two of humor to alleviate all this trauma……but alas, not ONE joke.
The story is of Park Soo Ha who witnesses Min Joon Kook murdering his father and Jang Hye Sung and Seo Do Yeon also witnessing the murder. The two young women grow up and become lawyers on opposing sides. Park Soo Ha goes to school and spends all his free time practicing martial arts so he can protect Jang Hye Sung who he is eternally grateful to for putting his father’s killer in jail. Years later they meet again and lawyer-ish drama ensues. The older woman/younger man thing is done very nicely….not at all creepy (but I’m a woman and any character played by Lee Jong Suk is just dreamy).
I especially love love love love how the two women (not friends) lawyers learn something about themselves and the law...that is what I really found fun about this show. Interesting women characters are hard to come by and Lee Bo Young and Lee Da Hee were fabulous together....so worth watching just for their performance.
THE MUSIC
The music was not over the top or repetitive, but truth be told, I can’t remember a single song, so it wasn’t very outstanding either. It didn’t hurt the story but I’m not sure if it did anything at all for the story.
CONCLUSION
This is a very well-done lawyer drama that showed a very passionate side to the business of justice. If you like lawyer dramas, then this will definitely entertain you. If you like a scary and manipulative bad guy, then this drama is for you. If you like interesting characters that are well performed, then this show is just perfect for you. If you want a little humor in your drama……well watch it for the lawyer stuff and the cute romance anyway. Then contact me if you can’t find a good drama with humor….those are my favorite types of dramas. I’ve got a list!
