But this drama was just very strange to me. I always try to be positive and to imagine that it could fit some kind of audience depending on their preferences. In the end, I don’t even know how I can recommend it to someone, whatever their taste is. This, added to my serious lack of ship towards the main couple, led me to really regret watching the drama. Needless to say, I was never really touched by any of those scenes. It takes some great actors (like the ones in Goblinhehe) to jump from a light and somehow amusing scene to a devastating one and to bring the audience along with them. It’s one of those dramas that mix an allegedly cute romance with a darker storyline but that, to me, fails to do so. The main plot of the drama resides in Soo-ha’s father’s killer being released and chasing down the girl whose testimony put him in prison – and thus the threat of our two heroes brings drama and character development. I think he was the most interesting character, despite his flaws. Some lectures were really needed from the two main characters so I will forgive him. The beginning of his character was a breath of fresh air compared to his selfish colleague but it quickly turned into the cliché of the man who thinks he’s good and allows himself to lecture everyone. It’s good to have empathy, but we all know anything extreme is never good. That other man, former cop turned lawyer Cha Gwan-woo, is the cliché of an over-empathic lawyer who fails to see what’s right in front of him – whatever is in front of him. And despite his best efforts to make her fall for him, it takes Hye-sung a while – and another man too – before she opens up to him.
Soo-ha manages to imbibe himself in Hye-sung’s life through his ability when she realises it could help her win many court cases. But as fate would have it, he’s been looking for (and crushing on) the girl who bravely testified in his father’s murder case despite being threatened by the killer – that’s right, that’s Hye-sung. Park Soo-ha is a high-school senior who can read minds when he looks into someone’s eyes. Jang Hye-sung is a public defender whose past turned her tough, cold and close-minded. In addition to that, the plot was missing some backbone. When there’s fantasy, there’s usually more than one setting and thus the possibilities were limited from the start. The ground idea of having an entirely normal world except for one person who can hear thoughts was already strange. But in any case, I felt that this drama should have been given more thoughts. Maybe the reason is that I’m not a fan of Lee Bo-young, who incarnates the main female character, lawyer Jang Hye-sung.
I’m not sure what I was expecting exactly, but this drama was definitely a disappointment for me. After seeing W: Two Worlds, I was in desperate need of some Lee Jung-suk content and got myself into I Hear Your Voice.
