A fun light law romcom with good ensamble of actors…
What i like:- The mainleads r both great actors, they portray their characters well… ML is a smart conflicted guy who’s in luv with FL from the beginning n FL is a pretty sassy girl who is kinda annoying sometimes but also has the biggest heart… their chems is ok, especially entertaining when they were bickering…
- The supporting casts are good… i like how they r this big happy but with a bit problematic stories, who support each other throughout everything … when they r together, there r lots of funny scenes… the villain is also good, u’ll hate him for sure…
- It’s a HE with a big nice wedding where all casts are present, even their clients, the best kinda ending…
What i’m not too fond of:
- The plot is a bit too predictable… n it’s getting repetitive in some parts, like FL got a new case, she went against the big bad wolf, ML&the casts help, then somehow solved… over n over like that… however i like how the casts r there for each other from the start… i like their dynamic, n it’s what makes me like this drama… so I guess it’s not that big problem for me?
- The hostage scene in the end is ridiculous! Somehow everybody was there n watching while ML was held hostage n fought for his live… there were def times when the police could just take out the villain, but nobody did nothing… ??♀️
- The casts r just there, not really having a background story for most of them… so it’s not the kinda drama u’ll be hooked emotionally…
Anyway… i always like when they mix law with romance, for me it’s just interesting… so overall i still really enjoyed this romcom… however I wouldn’t recommend this to people who expect smart plot & some kinda twisted surprise, there is none… so just keep in mind this is a light fun watch with great casts n some funny scenes… if u like that kinda drama, then just give this one a go, u’ll like it… ?

This show should have higher ratings
The main couple is just perfection.The plot is not the best but is interesting.
As I have said before the couple is what makes the show.
The characters are likable and interesting,
It ends with a wedding what more do you want a couple that has amazing chemistry and their relationship is so healthy and it feels like their equals is partnership.
I just love this show.
Also its so funny.
All do it does deal with some heavy subject matter that might not be easy for everyone, but i really think they did a good job dealing with it especially when they were talking about consent. For the most part is keeps a light and fluffy vibe. Which I appreciate a show that can be serious and fun whiteout it feeling weird because it is a law drama.

a atuação da protagonista é uma vergonha
eu gostei muito do drama pra ser sincera, ele é visualmente muito lindo e os atores principais são muito lindos também, ao mesmo tempo que ele trás um pouco a realidade ele também não trás a realidade, e a atuação da protagonista é uma vergonha, nossa ela é extremamente linda, mas eu me sentia muito incomodada em todas as cenas de choro que ela tinha (que por incrível que pareça tinha muitas) sla gnt, o choro dela parece ser extremamente forçado e dá a impressão que ela está sorrindo em quanto chora, as lágrimas são bem secas e não dá pra sentir a emoção do personagem e sofrer junto se parece que ela está rindo, mas tirando isso até que é bomWas this review helpful to you?
Great acting but with a subpar script
If only the script had been better! The combination of Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young could have made this the best drama of the year. Instead, we got a hot mess of cliches, occasional great one-liners, a few poignant moments in-between telegraphed writing, some non-sensical action sequences and a main plot that was underdeveloped and thus felt like it dragged on too long. The one saving grace of the script is the humor, which the actors played to the hilt (all of them, not just the leads).The saving grace of the overall drama is the acting of the two leads, who somehow manage to deliver some pretty ridiculous lines with enough conviction to draw you in. They're veterans, they've worked together before, and it shows. Oh, and their kissing scenes are hot even by American standards.
The first 10-11 episodes are definitely better than the latter ones. LSG said in interviews that they didn't necessarily follow the script, in order to make their characters more believable. The interviews were given two thirds through filming. I guess towards the end everyone more or less gave up on improving the script. It took several nosedives in the last few episodes.
Even though this was far from a best drama of the year, I feel that LSG deserves Best Actor just for salvaging the script. Knowing now the private hell that he was (and is) going through, I must say I'm even more impressed with his acting. No one would guess that happy-go-lucky JungHo was preparing for the battle of his life in reality, though it probably didn't take much acting to portray his sense of betrayal from family. I found LSY's acting generally strong, too, but her crying scenes were unconvincing.
I enjoy rewatching scenes from this drama, but I don't think I could sit through a whole episode again.
Still, overall I gave it a 9 b/c there is enough in there (humor, acting, hot scenes and some nice one-liners) that it's worth checking out. Also, from a sense of nostalgia, as this is probably LSG's last romcom, and he filmed it under great duress. I suspect he'll focus on 'grown-up' roles from now on, where his character doesn't need to look like an overgrown teenager. At least, his new movie seems to point in that direction.

Dumb
The legal show deals with some very serious issues like sexual harassment, bullying, and child abuse, but the drama can't figure out whether it is a romantic comedy or a legal drama with romance.As a lawyer, Yuri acted like a hysterical and unbalanced teenager who threw temper tantrums and started physical fights. She was supposed to be a strong woman, but she acted like a screeching hyena yelling every time she was faced with adversity. Every episode was filled with her yelling at something or at someone. And, OMG, her overacted crying was like watching a 5 y/o throwing a tantrum in a toy store.
The constant yelling was so annoying that it was hard to take her or the show seriously. Did the writers honestly think it was an appropriate way to portray a strong female character? And it wasn't just Yuri who behaved like that, Jeong Ho did the same. Both of them spent the majority of their time bickering about some stupid crap, yelling, and cursing. Everyone's behavior was rude and tacky, making the characters annoying and unlikable.
It wasn't only the constant screaming, the writers purposely put the characters into situations where they acted ridiculously. In episode 8, Yuri unintentionally ate a bunch of marijuana rice cakes and behaved like a clown. So now, we had characters who perpetually acted stupid in a story about lawyers. Oh boy.
Finally, the show would've been more believable if Yuri opened her own practice and got Jeong Ho to work with her, them being childhood friends at all. Running a coffee shop while doing legal work, and presumably not getting paid, was a pretty silly plot idea. A hard pass.

Must watch! Delightful, warm, funny & romantic
Would rate this as one of the best legal romcom this year! I like it even better than Business Proposal and Extraordinary Att Woo.Well mix of romance, humour, life stories and messages like consent, stalking/obsession, bullying, family issues- all very relatable themes infused inside the drama and some themes foreshadow the main couple’s issues which were a nice touch. Pace was good, nothing felt too longdrawn, luckily the main issue/misunderstanding was resolved in 1-2 episodes. The series never lose its overarching theme of the love between the 2 leads and it was shown bit by bit right fr ep 1.
And LSG and LSY really have awesome chemistry together! Loved the character development of both and despite their bickering and differences, how caring & respectful they are always towards each other esp the ML who is always so careful (too careful haa). ML character is a total green flag, kudos to LSG for his portrayal of a swoon-worthy & charismatic ML (much needed after his previous psycho drama), and his eyes…gosh. He always seem so proud and in love with her.
In ep 11 when he finally confessed his 17 yrs of love, it was one of the most touching scenes ever.
LSY was great as the FL, no damsel in distress yay, equally strong if not stronger, stand up to injustice, took the lead most of the times in expressing affection which is such a refreshing change. And she is so funny! Don’t recall her in any comedy previously but she was so natural here!
Their intimate scenes together- can I say this was so much better than a similar one in Business Proposal (which was a great drama) but that scene felt awkward while in Law Cafe, the kissing scenes of the 2 leads really felt natural and can tell their yearning for each other. Kudos again to the professionalism and experience of the leads and the crew working behind scenes to capture all these.
Supporting cast - loved all the supporting cast as well esp 12 whereby the umbrella signifies we all need support systems around us.
OST - all the songs are beautifully sang and fit the different scenes so well…. been listening daily.
Hope the drama ends on a good note and wins the awards it deserves year end.
Once again, a must watch if you want a feel good, funny, touching rom-com with lots of sizzling chemistry between the 2 eye candy leads! Will definitely watch again after the whole series end.

the best drama
I love this drama because it isn't typical romcom. They also shown very important issues from life.Acting of Lee Seung Gi as former prosecutor now the joblless building owner, gennius is superb, Lee Se Young character is "to much" as should be :), and suport actors are great: older ladys from Eunha club, barista and part-time employee of Law Cafe.
In the same time you can laugh, cry and be angry.
The music, OST from this drama is also very vell choosen. And we can't forget the great Eunha Band with Lee Seung Gi vocal.

Great and Hot Chemistry from LSG and LSY
I just love all of them from main lead to all support cast.The characters are so funny, a light very comfortable, romance, comedy and legal drama.
It has a bit suspense as most romantic comedies. A legal drama, they will eventually team up together to fight crime, solve their neighboors legal concerns, bickering and fall in love. They team up to bring down Dojon Constructions.
Im sniggering everytime they kiss, a sexy and hot kissing scenes.
Lee SeYoung and Lee Seung Gi are doing great job, their hot and great chemistry. This two are in sync.
I love the outfit and beauty of Lee SeYoung and a gentleman and pretty man of Lee Seung Gi.
A great balance between romance, drama and sad and laughing moments.
I hope another series for the two LSY and LSG.

The Law Cafe is a must watch!
The Law Cafe's so good, each episode just keeps on getting better and better. The romance between the leads is so wholesome and comforting. The emotions they have for each other are so pure and real that anyone watching cheers for them.There are also many life lessons in each episode ranging from child abuse by parents to bullying, this show even has a whole episode on 'consent' in the show which is so rare for a kdrama.
I absolutely love the mature writing, aesthetic cinematography and the brilliant acting by Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young, they make me fall in love with Kim Jung Ho and Kim Yu Ri every monday and tuesday. I can't wait for more episodes anyone reading this should definitely try it, it's absolutely worth it and I'm not being biased just trust me.???

best romcom of 2022
The concept of Law Cafe is to help people solving their issues before bringing to the court. It deals with the issues around us, such as noise, children abuse, school bullying, ... there are a lot of heart warming stories while they help people solving their problems. The theme is to let every client walk away from the the Law Cafe with a smile on their face. The chemistry between male and female leads is super. Especially their love sotry is beautiful and touching. It's not a typical legal drama with many court scenes but it provides people with good hints to think about the issues in depth.Was this review helpful to you?
