Truly Touches Your Heart
This is such a feel good drama, the acting, the story, everything was so cute. I loved the casting and we saw the two leads as a secondary couple in another kdrama. To see the two actors again on screen was very enjoyable. Everyone from the ALWAYS lawfirm were full of charisma and really made for an entertaining drama. I can't remember the amount of laughter that ensued in my living room while enjoying the drama but its probably the most I've laughed watching a kdrama. The dialogue and story really makes this such a heartwarming drama. I wish Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na would grace the drama screens together again because there chemistry was explosiveWas this review helpful to you?

Too much of cliché with butterflies in stomach at times
O f course watched for pairing of Lee dong wook and Yoo in na. They have best chemistry and both look great together,Strong points: Definitely, the chemistry shines not only of main cast but also of supporting actors. Moreover, I was more anxious about their love life than main actors.
All the supporting actors are great especially all comedy scenes were hilarious that lights up the whole drama content. Oh Jung-se is such a versatile actor so special mention was necessary.
Cute sweet moments specially showing affection to each other of main leads were quite heart fluttering.
Weak points: The main story is very poor, Though it is about law firm, the cases shown were very less. That makes it boring to watch. The same old troops of romance could not save to make it enjoyable.
The pacing is slow, After 10 episodes, nothing much happens to make it interesting. It really feels stretched out. The antagonist also shows up so late even didn't has much tot do.
Story doesn't justify the great pairing and even supporting actors good performance not worth watching for me.

Boring drama with a side of cute and fluffy
Honestly, this drama was hard to get through and I found myself wanting to quit multiple times throughout the series. I get that this is a character-driven type of drama but I really wish they had more plot and story to go off of. I only got excited to watch near the end of the drama when things were actually happening.I also thought many of the side characters and couplings were either unnecessary or annoying. I really didn't like the Dan-Choe coupling, they annoyed me to no end and it irritated me more that it seemed like they got even more screen time than the supposed second couple, Se-won and Yeo-rum. And the one side couple I was most excited for and rooting for ended up not even being together! I think the only saving grace of this drama were the main leads, but still, I'm quite disappointed. I remember putting this drama on my list years ago and being so excited for it, only to have it be such a letdown.
Definitely won't be re-watching this drama anytime soon. Whelp, onto the next!

This drama surprised me every episode, it didn't follow the stereotypes that most dramas do!!
I talked about the story in a generic way so it didn't spoil it to anyone, but be careful if you are reallyyyy sensitive to spoilers - just a little warning ;)- Cute and healthy relationship, they trust eachother and the jealousy is sweet instead of toxic. He just wants her to be happy with whatever her choices are and she wants to be there for him, see him succeed inwhat he likes and to help him connect emotionally with the people that care about him.
- There is no female rivalry! Even if there is some jealousy between two women, it never becomes agressive and the one whe was jealous realizes how stupid she was actin and apologizes. Then they talk about it, plan to leave their jealousy at home and decide to really trust each other.
- The female protagonist is feminine, gentle and naive but is also really strong, brave and has a great personality. It isn't one thing or the other like most dramas, she isn't just vunerable e cute or strong and independent.
-No love triangle, it's just them falling in love and learning to respect each other. At first I thought there was going to be one but then it just became a great secondary story without any unecessary drama.

I'm so in love with this show it's not even funny. Yoonseo and Jungrok are so disgustingly in love and I hate them theyre so stupid <3333 Yoo Inna shines as this ditzy, terrible actress who somehow falls for a man who literally spouts out legal jargon when he's drunk HES SO PATHETIC I LOVE HIM DEARLY. And the whole law firm is just <333 This concept is just so ridiculously silly but I loved watching Yoonseo becoming more interested in her job and wanting to help out the clients she was just so sweet <33 Definitely what this law firm needed when your star lawyer is incapable of emoting. Also Lawyer Dan and Lawyer Choi are the loves of my life I love my silly, hopeless romantic Lawyer Dan and absolutely pathetic mama's boy Lawyer Choi and the ridiculously campy music that plays whenever theyre together THEYRE INSANE. And as we all know Oh Jungse is the actor of all time, I'm absolutely obsessed with him as this idiotic, fan boy CEO what a guy. This show is just SO FUN <33 like yeah the plot with Yoonseo's ex fell a bit flat and it does take the show a few eps to really get into the groove but once it does its so enjoyable. Jungrok becomes such a more likable character and the way he asks out Yoonseo is my favorite kdrama confession of all time just behind her drunken confession like !!!! HER DRUNKEN CONFESSION IS EVERYTHING I LOVE HER SO MUCH. And him just being like ?????? I'm sorry but if a man that pathetic handed me a note that just said 'lets date' after I drunkenly confessed to him it's over I'm marrying that man. Yeah the whole 'breaking up for her sake' trope is SOO OVERDONE and im glad he was depressed because of it he deserved it but as always it worked out in the end. Ugh Yoonseo and Jungrok are really just one of the cutest kdrama couples ever THEY DID THIS FOR THE GOBLIN FANS <333 Was this review helpful to you?
The story is too worst, the direction and the camera angle in the drama is worst of all.
The story is so worst that even an amateur or a first time writer could write much better story than this.
It has 8.4 rating and trust me it is only because everyone are hyped about these main leads acting together again.
But if you want good plot and also a good acting than this drama is not for you. Really disappointed me.

Cute but rushed, unfulfilling, and lazy
Great acting, supported by very cute and adorable moments, let down by mediocre music, and there being no reason to rewatch due to a failed attempt at writing. This "classic" is plagued with poor writing from the start, but it becomes most apparent - painfully so, in fact - when multiple major side stories are entirely abandoned. The super rich and powerful stalker ex? One minor incident in he's in jail, guess he wasn't so powerful after all. The love story with Lee? Apparently all that buildup through the entire drama was pointless since his story ends with rejection and him crying. The main couple? Their big "happily ever after" moment is making their relationship public. No marriage, no wrapping up of the story, just an out-of-the-blue shot making them look as good as possible so that fanatics go "awww" and the story ends right there. Disgustingly lazy, and painfully slow, all for nothing in the end.Was this review helpful to you?
In my opinion, this drama didn't have a lot to offer in story, the characters and the character development. It was mediocre at best. There are way better similar story dramas out there. If you do decide to watch it, do it for the main actors, as they're very charismatic.

I really liked it from the first episode . It had this feeling that i actually missed in kdramas and it actually suited my taste.
The leads had an amazing chemistry and the side couples were really cute . :)
other than that I AM IN LOVE with the OSTs of the drama . I actually downloaded all of them . lol.
If you are a fan of a light and warm romcom , this one is a definitely a drama you should try .

Underrated rom-com gem
This is one of my favorite dramas, I think it's underrated. It's a very cute, lighhearted and funny drama, but there are actually many interesting serious subplots going on there aside from romance story, if you care to dig in. The major one being how a public person's career can be ruined by easily swayed public opinion. It's real, you can see such sad stories about Korean actors and idols quite frequently. And it doesn't matter if allegations are proven wrong, it's still very hard to come back to work in the industry once the public image is ruined. It takes a strong, thick skinned person to overcome this. There are also several interesting legal cases shown throughout the series, a creepy stalker as a villain and funny side plots about law firm's coworkers and ML's friends.It seems like people are downwoting this show for superficial reasons after dropping it after first two episodes, not giving it a chance, which is a shame.
No, FL is not really a dumb diva, but actually is a strong willed, hard working, kind and quite intelligent woman. But she is a bit of a narcissist, because she knows she's very pretty and has high self-esteem. Her main problem is that she acted in so many TV projects, experiences taken from which sometimes interfere with her sense of reality.
No, ML is not really an emotionless rude ass - he's an introverted, hard working guy, who quite frankly is overworked at his workplace, so he comes initially as very cranky and intolerant towards incompetence and anybody bringing chaos to his boring scheduled life. He also lacks self-awareness and they're both quite naive in some life aspects, and that's what makes it funny.
All the actors nailed it here, not only the main leads, who have great chemistry together and are great actors in general (I actually liked them here much better than in Goblin). But I also was really impressed with all the secondary cast, which is actually rather rare to see. I especially liked two Yeon relatives - law firm's and entertainment agency's CEOs, they were quite funny.
So if you want a nice, feel good drama with a happy ending without tired cliches like love triangles, angst, LDR, sappy childhood traumas, destiny etc. then give it a try. It's actually much better than many more recent overrated dramas, where there's always either some sort of toxic relationship, drama for drama's sake, obligatory love triangles, prolonged misunderstandings, etc. But this one is just a pure and sweet drama with nice characters that you don't have to stress about while watching it.

Sweet story
I was looking forward to this rom-com since I first heard about the casting of Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na. I love both of their works as actors, and I already knew they had amazing chemistry after watching them in Goblin.I'll have to admit, the first couple of episodes had me a little worried. I was afraid her character was going to be too over the top. But this is an example of why you should be a little patient with Asian shows. By episode three I was pretty much hooked. There wasn't really anything original about the story line, but the way the story was told was Lovely! Romantic, funny, touching, believable. The two main leads were just wonderful together and watching this gave me such a warm feeling. The nod to Descendants of the Sun was very funny. My only complaint is that the ending was too rushed, but this is one I can definitely watch again.
