Lawless Attorney is a well thought out written and directed drama. The pacing of the twists and turns are no joke. I like a drama that keeps me guessing as to what is going to happen next. I'm not usually into trial dramas but this one isn't bad to watch. I think some of it is ridiculous, but dramas don't have to be perfect in court or in a hospital. They are just dramas after all. Plus, I lived in a town where the FBI came and arrested police, attorneys, and judges and I don't think it is that easy to get away with that level of corruption. Of course, the South Korean president was impeached for corruption. So, maybe it is easy to a certain extent until it is exposed. Who am I kidding? With the way the US government is run, there is no telling what they get away with in the US also. They probably busted the small town because they weren't giving big government their piece. But I digress. Lawless Attorney is a mix of murder, fighting, drama, comedy and a little romance. The characters are well developed and it is fun to hate the bad guys. Some of the dialog leaves something to be desired but it isn't horrible. I think that the outcome for some of the bad guys could have been better and equal to the suffering of the good guys. The female lead characters are strong, good or bad, and it is enjoyable.

The acting is good even if some of it is over the top. Lee Hye Young as Cha Moon Sook is so unbelievably well done. She stole the show. I have never seen Choi Min Soo act like that. The way he bows down as Ahn Oh Joo is really strange to watch. I like him as an actor, but this character was totally weird. The fight scenes with Lee Joon Gi and Choi Min Soo are awesome though. I thought the actors worked well together and all had great chemistry. Actually all the fighting is fun to watch. I wonder if some of them accidentally got hurt. Seo Ye Ji as Ha Jae Yi was strong and vulnerable at the right moments. She did her character proud.

The music is good.

i won't rewatch this.

If you like lawyer movies, then you will probably enjoy this one.
