Eu Ouço a Sua Voz (2013)

Top marks for pacing.

It's always great to find a drama that manages to keep all the narrative balls in the air (on a first watch anyway) all the way through 18 episodes. I was hooked from the start, I binged it like a delicious pudding and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has some genuinely original characters and some genuine surprises, it has some excellently meaty moral dilemmas, and I think I might be a little in love with the scriptwriter right now. WELL PLAYED, LADY. Big hearts for you.

What might put you off: it's a noona romance and the FL is pretty much a female tsundere, which delighted me, but might not be everyone's cup of tea. The actress did a great job with her though and all the cast were great: the fantastic mom and the baddie deserve special mention. I liked Yoon Sang Hyun a lot in Secret Garden, and he was very likeable in this too. But it gets a 9 and not a 10 because I wasn't 100% sold on the romance. Not sure why exactly: the actors were both good, but maybe their chemistry wasn't quite up to the script? I shall probably watch it again at some point and see how it hits the second time round.

You know that feeling when you finish a show, and you're relieved that everything came to a satisfying conclusion but now feel confused about where to go from there. After finishing I Hear Your Voice, that feeling is all too real. T_T

Story 〆(・∀・＠): The story in itself is nothing incredibly new. It has plenty of similarities to other shows that use the courtroom as an essential factor. What makes this show unique is the super-powered teenager twist as well as all the other memorable characters. In the beginning, the story went exceptionally quickly in the best ways. You feel every episode is progressing and you never get bored. I'd love to give the show a 10 in the story category, but the high-speed plot did have a slow bump in the road that made some of the actions lose their buildup. But it got back on track and ended strongly. All I can say is that the writers made you feel scared, giddy, and emotional for these fictional characters. And for the leading romantic duo, there is quite an age gap, but you won't even care about that after just watching them together for a few episodes. Their chemistry felt so real that the age gap between them will most likely be forgotten anyways.

Acting ｡゜(｀Д')゜｡: The acting is so well-done and believable. The actors really brought it for both emotional and comedic scenes. And as mentioned earlier, the chemistry between the two characters was played out so amazingly by the actors to the point that you'll feel emotion at times you wish you couldn't. Even side characters that didn't give much impact to the plot were acted out amazingly. I genuinely started laughing out loud at times due to one specific group that really added comedic relief.

Music ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪: I didn't have much of an opinion on the music. There was never a song that felt off-putting, and everything fit together nicely, but that's just it. There was not a particular song that hit me nor caught my attention. That's not to say the soundtrack was bad, but it's nothing especially new or memorable.

Other (ง°ل͜°)ง: As already said, this show has a lot of moments that take place in the courtroom. Two of the main protagonists are public defense attorneys, and another character is a persecutor, so of course, there's going to be a lot of tension and character building intertwined with the cases. I am not a lawyer, nor do I have any experience in that field, so I can't say if the trials are entirely accurate. What I did feel off was the use of all other law-related jobs. It felt as if the attorneys were doing the investigations with very little help from the police or any other research teams. Another thing was the reuse of characters in trials. All the trails had the same people almost every time. This is mostly done for character development, but don't expect anything 100% accurate.

In the end, I recommend this show! It has a fresh new take on familiar tropes and will make you want to watch it all in one sitting. The story writing, acting, and romance are all done so well, and the ending won't leave you feeling confused or uneasy. If you love romance and mystery with a twist of fantasy, this is the show for you.
Happy watching - <3

Sorprendentemente bello.

Iniziato per vedere più che altro Lee Jong-suk nei primi drama sono rimasta sorpresa non solo dalla sua bravura ma pure per il drama in sé. Storia accattivante e ben raccontata da aver voglia di vedere di più. Fuori dal comune l'abilità del protagonista ma non invadente e pure i altri protagonisti non sono normalissimi avvocati procuratori giudici etc sono particolari tutti. La storia d'amore c'è ma non è predominante e forse penalizata un po' della poca chimica che ho percepito tra loro, ma nel complesso ci sta è più un drama drammatico .
Il killer è inquietante 😳
Un drama maturo e ben fatto merita la visione.

Overall a very nice series.

Without adding too many spoilers, the series, overall, is well written and the actors are believable. Although many series created in South Korea might be a bit long, their new approaches to themes is really refreshing. So, I really enjoyed the series, One point leads to a reduced vote: some of the cases in the plot seem to be a bit unrealistic. Unless the laws in South Korea are really different from the law standards in western democracies, they would be not reaching court level. But this is not the problem of the series but the authors choice. And from other series written by him (like e.g. Pinocchio) he writes really good plots.
So, overall the series is really watchable.

Tem Sukinho, tem drama bom..

Ou não, como pudemos ver em Hot Young Bloods, mas ele é a exceção, por enquanto...).

Drama delicinha de bom:
1. Pude presenciar o Suk magrinho parecendo uma vara e com um cabelo charmoso...
2. Conheci mais uma atriz diva, a Lee Bo Young
3. e surtei mais uma vez com um antagonista de dar raiva. Perfeito!

Agora o que eu não entendi foi essa foto da capa ai... PORQUE ELA TÁ DANDO A MÃO PRA ESSE ADVOGADO SECUNDÁRIO?! Se liga ein, se não eu roubo o teu Sukinho pra mim!

Como diria minha irmã gêmea: "Deu mole é vapo!".

Había puesto menos estrellas cuando comencé a verla, ya que no enganchaba, pero a cada capítulo que pasaba, encontraba mas cosas que agradecer. Para empezar, reconozco que esta historia pudo estar mejor contada, había cosas que no me cuadraban mucho, pero a medida que pasaban los capítulos me fui enganchando más y mas. No se que hubiera hecho si hubiera tenido que esperar para ver el siguiente capitulo.
Lo importante para mi es que hay unos mensajes que me tocaron profundamente:
- Decir la verdad por sobre todas las cosas
- Hacer lo que uno cree que esta bien, superando los propios intereses.
- Tener el apoyo de alguien para superar los problemas
- La necesidad de ser mejor persona porque tienes a alguien que cree en ti.
Cuando termine la serie y vi estos 4 puntos, se me apretó el corazón, entendí porque es tan éxitoso. Podría irme al lado técnico y criticar detalles de producción, ahora me parece irrelevante, después de empaparme de estos mensajes.
Que ayudo a que eso fuera tan profundo en mi, las actuaciones, casi todos los personajes eran tan bien actuados que realmente los quería abrazar a todos, ver como cambiaba mi opinión de cada uno mientras avanzaba la historia, el desarrollo de los personajes esta muy bien armado.
Aunque amo a Lee Jong Suk, y sus actuaciones, y estoy viendo esta historia por él, me di cuenta que necesito ver algo diferente. Comento esto porque yo empece por el final, ya he visto casi todas sus series posteriores a esta, espero que cuando vuelva del servicio militar se arriesgue mas en los papeles. Y a pesar de esto que digo, no puedo evitar engancharme en su actuación, podría ver sus series todo el tiempo, su carisma, es mágico, solo sonrie y ya perdí horas de mi vida, no es que me guste fisicamente como fans derretida, es su actuación la que me encanta. Este chico tiene un angel especial.
La recomiendo y la volveré a ver a futuro.

My Ipdeok Drama

This my first korean drama which i can finished and also introduce me to Lee Jongsuk. I like everything, like literally everything from the story itself that's quite unique, the plot that never feels boring at all, the acting and casts was *chef's kiss* a solid 10. The story really flows so well to the point i can't help but binge watched it.

Age gap between the mains didn't bother me at all as long as they create lawfully good chemistry. Which they did!

For the music, i don't remember the music it used so i guess it wasn't memorable or even worth downloading over.

A decent drama with nice plot

This is my first ever drama with Bo Young and Jong Suk. I enjoyed watchin this.

The story developes at a good pace.
Never thought that the director would show all the background connection vetween the characters. But the episodes can be a little shorter, doesn't felt that 18 episodes were needed for this.
Jung Woong-in also played his part quite well.

The romance between the leads developes gradually but as K Drama cliché female lead tries to push away male lead but yeah in the end they all get together.

If you like the leads chemistry then you can watch:-
- W
- Pinnochio

Rewatch value - NOPE.

I hear your Voice

The rate is 9.5, but since I was gonna remove a star for lack of chemistry, I don't think it matters. Actual chemistry is not something I expect much from KD anymore.

The cases were really interesting. Of all the characters, my favorite was Mr Cha. He was deep and human in every possible way. I admired him, and felt for him and even found myself rooting (a bit) for his love. I can never forget him. It didn't bother me to see how miss Jang just didn't care about her clients. I know for a fact that a lot of lawyers are like that. That could be why Mr Cha seemed to be a knight in shining armour.

In fact, I liked all the characters. The friendship between the lawyer and the client he failed to help was really moving.

Of course, the plot was nothing that could happen in real life. So what? This is KD land! They still managed to turn the villain into a victim, isn't that trendy?

Lee Jong Suk was handsome as ever, but what I noticed was his great acting, especially when he grew desperate and mad. The scene with the pay phone is worth seeing.

This show is definitely one of my favorites. Tchuka!

From now on, I will write review from my own ratings. I set the overall ratings to 8.5, here the details:
I like the story: +3 (it's perfect score; 1 means I hate it, 2 means neither I like it, 3 I love it)
The fact that this drama will reveal its antagonist in the 1st episode did surprise me a lot. I think it's the only drama did like that. I thought the drama will be boring, since the antagonist have been revealed so early. But, the drama did well. It makes me curious about how the protagonist survive from antagonist's curse since polices and law could not catch him and his evil plan about doing revenge.
I like the cast: +1 +1 (every protagonist has max score: 2)
That "one" is for Kim So Hyun because she is my only favorite korean actress and I can only give "one" from two because she was not the main role. And "one" for Jongsuk. I don't really like him, but since I have watched so many Jongsuk drama, I did not feel strange when I watched the protagonist as the main role. So, I could enjoy the drama.
The drama has humor: +1
I laughed a lot. I love it.
The drama was touching: +1
If I were a girl, I would have cried when Do Yeon found her father was a no-guilty prisoner.
Moral/education value: +1 (If the drama did not have it, I would not give value)
This drama taught me (makes me realize) that humans always hide their lies to keep their relationship with family and friends connected. I learned something called "Law" a lot.
Plot Twist: +0.5
I thought polices would not come to save Jongsuk. But, the sniper team did well to stop the antagonist's (Min Joon Kook) evil act.
.
Total:
3+1+1+1+1+1+0.5
= 8.5
P.s. Sorry, you read my bad English.
