Story flow, suspense, characters and insights.
The story had a good premise with a really solid back bone. I'm glad that the writers were able to keep up within its theme which is about justice in the view of different people. Since the story started when the main characters where young, justice followed up even after 11 years passed by. As for the pacing, the drama could be quite serious
at one time then funny the next which looses the heaviness of a particular scene and sometimes, its sensibility.
There's also another fact that caught my attention, it's how the main characters were consistent. Even though there were a lot of growth in each of them, their attitude and there personalities were still the same up to the end of this drama. The actors were great when they were acting their roles. It was as if each character was made for them. Even te antagonist didn't feel like the antagonist after watching this drama. That's how good their character portrayal was for me.
Music wise, it wasn't something that stuck into my head but it was still syncing beautifully. What caught me the most was how emotional the background music became when the scene was about Hye-sung and Su-ha's bittersweet moments.
Over all, I would be recommending this to people who have different insights about justice and devotion to one person. I love the loyalty this drama has shown within its characters. It was a really good series.

Have to say, I hear your voice just the made the top of my list :)
Kudos to the scriptwriter first of all; to be able to make such a realistic movie while including a bit of supernatural!! I love the suspense, which grabs you to your seat from the very first episode. The suspense, the romance, and even the light-mood makes this drama of one the best shows I've watched! If you are looking for a drama which will make you laugh, cry, just pause to say "what the f**k" and get you riveted to your screen to the point of making you addicted to the very end- this one is definitely it!
Story:- Amazing, original, not-a-single-second-boring
Acting:- From the secretary in the public defenders' office to the bold Jang Hye Song,the oh-so-eye-candy Park Soo Ha, and the ruthless Min Joon Gook, the kids, every character plays their part so well, you will be left speechless.
Music :- Awesome =D i don't think i will be able to get the opening out of my head so soon XD
Rewatch Value:- usually i don't re-watch non-comedy drama (for instance master piece 1 litre of tears, there's no me watching that again), but IHYV yes definitely!!
Honestly, i don't even imagine someone who finished this drama giving IHYV a negative review.
WATCH IT NOW!

I was totally impressed by the story, it's really interesting to discover korean law when you're studying law yourself... But of course that's not all there is to this outstanding drama !
The cast was awesome, it was as if I was not watching a drama but a real story... As if I was some kind of ghost next to them (except Soo Ha couldn't here my voice... Sadly T-T)
Of course I cried, screamed, tore apart my cushion... Of course I laughed, smiled, and danced with joy... And I loved these characters so much ! It's hard to say goodbye now that the drama is finished...
I highly recommend it if you want to watch a drama that is romantic, but sometimes scary, that can make you wonder about life, and law, and can even change your mind about lawyers, judges, prosecutors and criminals... Romance is not all in this drama, and that's probably why I found it so interesting ! (even though I'm usually going crazy for romantic dramas, I admit it !)
So, if I can make one recommendation... If you've not watched this drama yet, go watch it !!! NOW !

Acting/Cast: I thought everyone did a good job, even the supporting character. I really hated Min Jin Gook for what he did. You will need to watch it to know what I mean.( so go and watch it!). Also as this drama was airing I was watching Cruel City and it's was weird seeing Scale as a bad guy in the drama, but in here he was a good guy. I was glad to see him again after what happen in Cruel City... Also it's was nice to see Lee Jong Suk and Yoo Sang Hyun in a drama together again after Secret Garden. I feel that Lee Jong Suk acting has improved since Prosecutor Princess, so that a good thing. Jung Woo In was a good villain I really hated him. So he should get an award or something.
Music: I loved all the soundtrack. I could listen to it and never get bored.
Rewatch Value: I would definitely watch it again. I would who wouldn't? This drama is awesome. I don't think I can ever get bored of cuteness and amazing cast.
Overall: I enjoyed it, I hope this drama win award! You won't regret watching it because this drama is the best one I have seen in a while. Romance is not the main focus, but is still a good drama. In this drama, the laws seem interesting, but in real life it's not. I feel that the cases in this drama was well put together. I learned something from it, revenge is never the answer you don't do an eye for an eye.

I debated for a while about whether or not I was going to write a review for this drama, since anything that could be said about it has probably been said by one of the multitude of other reviews, and probably said better than my bungling attempts to commit feelings to paper. But this drama is one of the few dramas I have watched that completely bewitched me from the get-go and never lets up! If you haven't watched this drama, you're making a mistake!
OK, so "mistake" is a little harsh. I watched most of the episodes as they were airing, which was absolute torture. Waiting each week to find out what was happening to these people I had grown to love so much was more than I could take, so I ended up stopping and catching up after it finished. It took me almost a month to actually find the courage to watch the last episode. Not because I was worried it would be bad, but because I was not ready to let go, and I still don't think I am.
The reasons to watch this drama are staggering. The cast is so amazingly well suited and have such great chemistry together. It was just such a fun ride to watch the characters grow and change together. And this drama is certainly not lacking in personal growth. There isn't a single character that does not undergo some kind of change in the way they behave or think, and it's really nice to watch how they navigate situations they are unsure of.
The storyline is compelling, I never once felt bored throughout all 18 episodes, which is definitely a praise-worthy feat. The romance is prevalent almost throughout, so it's important to like romance as a prominent feature of your dramas. It's not just the romance, though. There is a dash of mystery, quite a bit of action, revenge, romance, a little bit of a supernatural element. It's a pretty complete package.
Honestly, I have no complaints where this drama is concerned. I don't give out 10s very often, I usually can be pretty pragmatic when rating dramas. But I Hear Your Voice is such a winning combination of all of my favorite things, I am hard pressed to find fault with it.

Story - Consistent and amazing interpretation of "I Hear Your Voice" literally and figuratively. The "cause and effect" factors and reasons for the characters' actions, attitude and way of living were well sequenced and delivered. And the "sense of justice" being subjective had been asserted by each role.
Acting/Actor - Superb acting skills can be seen leading to a downpour of different emotions from each character which were effectively, efficiently and persuasively portrayed making the roles realistically connected with each other.
Music - Sound tracks and sound effects were undeniably fit for each of the scenes they were played. Timing was outstanding.
Rewatch Value - For this kind of story that is deliberately trying to make a point, usually tends to be boring. However, this drama, due to the outstanding performance of the casts and the collaborative efforts of the director/s, writer/s and the whole crew made this series a very worth watching or should I say worth "rewatching" one.
Calling all people who tend to either plan or make "revenge", better watch this series first. It might help you be enlightened of the "cause and effect" of what you are about to do. And for those people who have had made "revenge", this drama might change your "sense of justice" and redeem yourself from your past and be fearless in facing the music of life with positive outlook.

Story: A masterpiece! Although 18 episodes long, the story was told at a nice pace- you will nto realise 18 eps had come and gone! What I like to the storyline is the multiple layers it has. What I meant by 'multiple layers' is the writer & director's ability to incorporate a few storylines into one episode. There are many detective/investigative/law type dramas created and most of them follow a typical "one case per episode" line. This drama follows this time old formula but to a less obvious degree. It incorporates a few storylines happening simultaneously. There are also instances where the main characters need to deal with more than one case per episode while dealing with their personal issues. I love it when a story is able to pull off such complexity without confusing the audience or killing the main storyline in the process. The comic relief throughout the drama is a welcomed addition. It is tastefully done without unneccessary exaggeration. The characters' reactions and rationale are very believable & realistic. It is a mature and well thought off story! One of the best and natural ending from a drama. You will not be left with a rushed ending or feeling as if something is missing. In other words, a complete drama! Therefore, I give the story a very solid 10/10! My heartfelt congratulations to the writer & director!
Acting/Cast: All good actors & actresses. No complains in this department.
Music: A couple of ear & save-worthy OSTs.
Rewatch value: Whilst it is very addictive in the first watch, I doubt I would re-visit this drama again in the near future. The thrill is in the finding out but once you already know what happens and the ending, it will not be as addictive. Unlike purely romantic dramas, this one do not have many memorable scenes you would like to rewind to....unless you get kicks out of re-watching verbal courtroom battles or ppl acting out the crime. This drama is more of a whole package thing. The most memorable quotes (and repeated throughout) is one from the female lead's mother about "an eye for an eye; if you live that way, then the whole world will be blind..." (something along those lines). The main impact of this drama for me is the moral learning (or reminders) that it gives to the audience. I love it when a drama teaches ppl good things!
Overall: If I am to rate this based on story and acting, it is a solid 10/10. However, considering its lower re-watch value, I'd decided on a 9/10. If you had not watch this piece of gem, I HIGHLY recommend that you do!

Personnaly, I gave it a 10/10 in everything so I actually think it still is underated ^^ But I understand why some people might think otherwise.
You won't find as much action as in City Hunter neither as much comedy as in any romantic comedy. And though romance is present (just the right amount in my opinion), it's not the main object of this drama...
But, plotwise it's a MASTERPEACE. I can asure you there won't be a single episode where you won't be dying to see the next one ! Although it's supposed to be about lawyers, this drama actually feels more like a police drama. I'm saying it because that's what kept me from watching it for a long time. (And just so you know, I didn't started because I find the main actor cute ;) )
On a side note, it took me seven years to make my family watch a whole drama and it was with this one that I finally succeded. They were even the ones asking for more episodes ! So trust me and give it a try.

It has been a very long time since I enjoyed a drama so much. It made me wait eagerly every week so as to find out what could happen next. The romance is absolutely cute and the story, brilliant.
It is usually annoying when the leads lack chemistry especially, if they female lead is older. Here Park Soo Ha and Lawyer Jang make you gush, blush and want to hide in embarrassment. There are times when I wished they would get longer screen time instead of being cut into the next scene, but never-mind that. Even Lawyer Cha has a charm that will leave you in moments of awwww.
The main story with Min Joong Gok continues as other court cases carry on and climaxes in the best possible way. His motive may have been silly but I can forgive that as the plot is established well.
I Hear Your Voice is one the first dramas (in a long time) where the ending hasn't been disappointing. It wasn't hurried but written and directed carefully which gave the series a smooth finish. I can only remember one episode dragging a little bit. Just a teeny tiny bit.
The series does not disappoint in terms of chemistry, story, plot, music, characters, directing, acting, dialogues or anything else. Watch it, enjoy it, cry and blush with it. You will miss its voice and long wish to hear it again.
