I cannot say enough how much I love this drama. It is so cute, sweet and heartwarming. Plus, it has an interesting plot with some very intense moments. Perfect. I do think it had a bit of a short-coming in the court-room scenes and the overall pace was hurt somewhat by the extension. But the show stuck true to its original intent and I just love how everything concluded in a similar fashion to how it began only we were able to see the growth of all the characters.
There was such wonderful characterization here I'm afraid all other dramas may fall short and disappoint me now. Can we get another show with this writer, asap? I'm sure we will be seeing more from her in the future do to the fact that I Hear Your Voice was an even greater ratings hit than her previous drama Dream High. I'm so sad it's over but so content with such a perfect ending. THANK YOU!

If you like Lee Jong suk
I honestly didn't think I was going to like this as much as I did. I thought for the longest time that Lee Jong-suk was just another pretty face, but his range was amazing in this drama it really made me appreciate him as an actor. Those who are not considering watching, I would tell you to definitely give it a try, there were parts when I just wanted to stop watching, but I kept on watching because as the story carried on it was amazing. I personally love dramas that show how flawed people can be even the main characters, and how people's judgments aren't always right even if they believe the, to the fullest. This drama showed that we won't always agree with the main leads and how they are people too. At times I was made at Soo-ah (Lee Jong-suk) and Lawyer Cha (Lee Bo-Young) and others too but that just shows how great their character were written. The story has everything you need, romance, action, drama, and even comedy. The smallest things have callbacks, things as a view that I didn't even think were important, and people too.Was this review helpful to you?

First of all, I think this is one of the (if not the only) dramas that I have watched where you can learn something that you can apply in real life. I really really cannot believe this drama has been around for almost 4 years now and I've only decided to watch it now. To be completely honest, the main reason why I wanted to watch this is because I am currently obsessing over Lee Jong Suk after completing W, and boy was I not disappointed at all.
At first, it seemed kinda dragging, but it's not the drama's fault at all. The problem was with me. I was looking for something that would compensate for what was lacking in the latter episodes of W, which was romance. But then I realized, this was a 2013 drama, where knives had to be censored and people were a lot more conservative then than now.
I may be biased, but I think Lee Jong Suk was perfect for this role. He had conveyed the emotions effectively. Overall, I'm giving this drama a 9.5 because though it is not perfect, I love how everything came together in the end.

A Great Story
An unusual story of the supernatural combined with a murder mystery. It was entertaining from start to finish. There was a lot of emotion and drama that will keep you immersed in every episode. I liked every side story and every character in this drama. The script is very well written and will make you laugh and cry.The only thing between a 10 and my rating of 8.5 was the romance. It was sold as a romance so I looked forward to watching that unfold. For me, it never really did. The kisses were awkward. The last kiss, which followed the loving stare of two people, looked like she couldn’t wait for it to be over. I wonder how many takes they had to do to make it look even that good. It looked like he was trying but she was not into it. In fact, she never sold the chemistry between them at all. The words were there but words don’t make chemistry, romantic acting does. This is just one man’s opinion.
So don’t let my opinion of the romance stop you from watching this great drama. It is well worth your time.

The story is original and unpredictable, however what really sucks you into are the characters. None of them is your typical hero or heroine. Obviously there's still a drawn line between protagonist and villlain, but you won't find perfectly moral and just people who always fight for the right. And that's what makes it so interesting, the inner conflicts of each character and their relationships with others and the law as well.
Lee Bo Young does an incredible work with Jang Hye Sung. I'll admit that I had a problem with her character in the beginning, but as I started to see her layers I started to appreaciate, and even like her prickly yet quirky personality. Also, althought the first drama I watched with Lee Jong Suk left a bad taste on my mouth, I still managed to like his skill and his character as well. He did a good job.
Kudos for Yoon Sang Hyun who did a good job as Attorney Cha haha Sometimes he was irritating and obnoxious, but in the end we all knew he was a good person. He also was a good contrast with Hye Sung's detached (at first) approach to her job. As for Jung Woon In, his villain at first seemed kinda generic and uni dimensional, however as the episodes went by we start to see his real self and motives. Obviously nothing excuses what he did, but at least you feel bad for the guy and even shed some tears.
My only problems with this drama were only two: the lack of both romance and a good represation of law. I know I'm not an expert, but some things were kinda cringy to watch, especially coming from people who are, supposedly, impartial and unbiased. As for the romance, I admit I'm a huge sucker for fluffy and squee-worthy moments, but I can kind of understand since the main focus of drama seems to be on the law/mystery/thriller aspect. Still, the small amount of moments was good.
Also, I don't have a problem with age gap, and even if you have don't worry too much because that isn't even the focus (althought focusing more on it would be interesting for the drama).
The music was good but forgetable. I like OSTs that not only are good, but also make me want to download it and listen, hence the slightly low (compared to the other aspects) grade.
Overall it's a very good drama. Not my favorite, but good anyway and I guess I'll rewatch it one day, more than once actually. It has a good feeling to it despite it's heavy themes, so it's pleasant to watch.

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.

This show has some fantastic lines that just stick with you and make you smile. The female lead, played by Lee Bo Young, is tough to like at first, but she grows on you. The male lead, played by Lee Jong Suk, though significantly younger than that female lead is able to put her in her place at times. Their banter/conversations are some of the best parts of the show. The second male lead, played by Yoon Sang Hoon, is also an awesome character. He starts out as someone you might find annoying and ends up someone easy to look up to.
The music is good and fits the show well.
This show is just great. There are a couple episodes that I found annoying because I am not a fan of the trope used in them, but over all, I love this show and will probably rewatch it over and over again in the future.
