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.
