lighthearted rom/com with the usual breakup before the ending
Life is too short for stressful drama. Why spend all that time watching and be stressed? Don’t our lives already provide enough of that?Summary of the series:
- Lighthearted rom/com; series had great flow; fun for sure
- simpatico characters
- villains are kept at bay easily, no long struggles, calamity or miscommunications to cause more drama and stress except for the usual breakup before the ending
- great love moments through out the series
- I also expected a famous actress to be at fancier places sometimes
- the first episode was hard to get past for me for some reason, and then the rest of the series was great; maybe the over acting and the shock of seeing the FL/ML in the beginning
- ending did feel a bit rushed; this would be a higher rating if they show more about their lives afterwards; hence cant add this to my fav list
I like this joyful, stressless series: recommended to watch for sure

I guess that the strength of TYH isn't the story, which, I said, it's very basic and usual, but it's the cast. I loved Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na in Goblin and I knew they had chemistry, and this drama proved it even more. They are what carried the drama forward despite the lack of unpredictable storylines. Had the leads been somebody else, maybe this drama wouldn't have gained interest at all. Their characters have opposite personalities but they attract and their interactions are soooo cute. So if you like cute and fluffy, you'll surely awwww watching these two. The supporting cast was also great. I already knew some of the actors, while some others were new to me. Their dynamics were super hilarious and I kid you not that I laughed a lot of times during all the 16 episodes.
I don't know if I would rewatch all of this, though. Despite liking it, I find the episode length too much compared to dramas airing on the other channels: one episode could arrive up to 1h10, which can be tiring when the story is cute but there isn't suspense. Some episodes felt dragged but somehow, the mood of the drama pulls you to finish them, but I think some people may find this one annoying because of the lack of a deep storyline.

Surprisingly enjoyable
This drama was on my plan to watch list for a long time, initially I decided to give it a try because Lee Dong Wook was in it. I had no idea I would enjoy this drama so much that I wished it was longer. After a few episodes I was wondering "Can I finish this" since there were so many embarrasing moments which made me cringe a bit. I still continued to watch and at some point I realized that I really loved this drama.I kinda wish that the whole stalker issue would have taken more time to solve, since it seemed like it was such a difficult case to solve in the past so it felt like it was over very fast. Even though the issue with the stalker case was that Lee Gang Joon was such a influential man and that made it very hard for them.
Music being the real mood bringer I got goosebumps when Oh Yoon Seo walked in the attorney office while Troubled Kids was playing. I don't believe there was any OST I didn't like.

great acting and cute story line
great acting and cute story line.If you are looking for heart warming series, give this a try. You won't regret this. This series will lift you up.
This will bring you to another world where happiness and joy are filled with. But expect some law suit cases along the way where you can see some twist and turn.
Every characters played well in their own roles.
I watched it twice. I just can't help smiling every time I watch this :)
I love seeing Yoo In Na having this lead role again and want to see her in more leading roles.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my Reaper and his Sun got a show of their own!!!!So, I came for Mr. Reaper and his Sun but stayed for Mr. Lawyer and his Oh Jin Sim. This really felt like a spin-off of the final episode of Goblin with Sunny returning as an actress (named Yoon Seo no less) and the Grim Reaper as a justice worker. In other words, it’s my dream come true!
I want to talk about Oh Yoon Seo for a minute. She’s easily one of my all time favorite female leads, which are very hard to come by if you ask me. She’s warm and kind without being weak or gullible, which is extremely rare in most drama. Only Yoo In Na could have done this role with this much justice. She made this “universe goddess” both relatable and mystical at the same time. She’s a celebrity with a formidable aura yet a girl next door attitude. This character could have just as easily been a shallow airhead but it was In Na who made her layered and nuanced. There’s one scene in particular that stuck with me. It’s the one where they’re at the observatory and she doesn’t know yet if he likes her or not so she asks and when he doesn’t reply immediately she just smiles sweetly and says “never mind.” The way Yoo In Na portrayed that facade of self-assurance yet you can feel her vulnerability despite the air of nonchalance, it was supremely phenomenal. Also, there was another scene that had me bawling my eyes out unexpectedly. I don’t want to give away too much but it’s that scene after she has a “meeting” to discuss the casting, when she goes home and we hear her text “I’ve reached home safely and I’m going to bed now!” All cheerful and chirpy then the camera cuts to her crying her heart out alone. That hit hard. Too close to home. She is the heart and soul of this drama. She deserves more appreciation.
Lee Dong Wook!! Forever my Grim Reaper. Kwon Jeong Rok is charming and endearing. His chemistry with Yoo In Na is no joke. If you thought their chemistry would be boring after Goblin, you’re wrong. They’re incredible together and bounce off each other beautifully.
The cast is here and there. Everyone in the law firm was lovable and entertaining. At least I didn’t fast forward any of their scenes. Unlike the prosecutors office. I literally have no idea what was the need for that plot. Didn’t watch a single scene of theirs and the story still made perfect sense to me. Not to mention his “best friend” Kim Se Won could’ve been any random citizen because dude doesn’t know a single thing about his own “best friend.” The story could’ve done without him and Yoo Reum. Definitely—if not most unlikeable—then least likable characters on this show.
Now I’d like to talk about the plot for a bit because this show really opened my eyes to how messed up the Korean entertainment industry is. It’s like if you’re a celebrity, anyone and everyone has a control over your life except you. They can see you suffering as a consequence of their action yet they don’t feel any remorse or even the need to apologize for their action. It’s like they’re entitled to your existence. Truly disturbing.
Overall, a very cute lighthearted office romance that is worth watching. And if you’re like me, it will definitely satisfy your need and quench your thirst for a fully realized and nicely developed PeeChy story.

Yes, this drama is cliche (cold, arrogant male falling in love with his secretary), but that did not ruin my views on the drama. To be honest, I was skeptical about watching this drama, but I'm glad I did. This drama is tagged as law, but it doesn't focus that much on it. There are actually kisses (that happen several times, not just once). The drama is well paced; with very episode you learn something that you didn't know in the previous episode. The romance is sweet and refreshing and I enjoyed it very much.One thing I was not satisfied with that the ML broke up with the FL because the FL was going to become famous again. Why is the fact the a celebrity is dating someone so scandalous, especially in China and Korea? Done't worry, they get back together soon.
The cast is well put together. I watched a few episodes of Goblin and the leads in this drama are a side couple there. Oh Jung Se (who's casted as CEO of Always Law Firm) is Moon Sang Tae in It's Okay Not To Be Okay. I really enjoyed It's Okay Not To Be Okay (even more than this one!). Oh Eui Shik (who's casted as the FL's manager) did a great job in True Beauty as well.
I would watch this again. If you are reading reviews asking yourself if you should watch this or not, yes! Of course, this is not the best drama, but it never hurts to try. If you decide that this drama is not your cup of tea, some really great k dramas (that I feel are better than this one, in the order of my favorites) are Mr. Queen, It's Okay Not To Be Okay, Hotel Del Luna, Tale of the Nine Tailed, and Crash Landing On You.
I hope my review helped you, and if it did, because click the "yes" button below this when it asks you if this was helpful. I'd love to see how many people I've helped. Hope you have a great day ~

Don’t trust the low ratings here! Go watch the show! It is really good!
I am really surprised to see such low ratings for this show here. On VIKI it has more true ratings at 9.6/10. Trust me these ratings here do it NO justice!! Just watch it it is worth it!This show was really good and heartwarming. It made me laugh and cry. I thought the acting was perfect and the story was simple and was told just right. If you are looking for something action packed this is not it. Instead it is a good and simple story. Reminds me of a Hallmark show but this one is WAY, WAY, WAY better!
I had to download the soundtrack on Amazon. It is also good!
I love both the actor/actress. I have seen them in other shows that are also really good. They were a perfect fit and loved to watch their love slowly build. A great watch. Don’t trust the ratings here!😉

You should watch this one. (it’s a feel-good one)
You would recommend this to others. (maybe)
You could watch this again. (maybe not)
This is such a sweet and refreshing story., The purity and chemistry between the two lead characters is just too adorable. You can’t help falling in love with them. Their innocent banter just endears them to you. The supporting cast is just too funny, especially Yoon Hyuk and Moon Hee. Loved the over-exaggeration of their characters. The last 2 episodes seemed rushed and I wish the end wouldn’t be so abrupt (one does expect a better finale to such a love). If you want to watch a feel-good drama with not much of an expectation then do watch this light-hearted one.

The main plot, although well-written, is nothing original, it has elements of a Pride and Prejudice story. Our leads, who are polar opposites, start off with really bad first impressions of each other but then gradually fall in love as they discover more about each other. What really carries this series is the fantastic chemistry between our leads as well as all the subplots from the side characters and law cases. Their romance has a very sweet and innocent quality to it especially considering they are in their late 20's to 30's. Those who like more mature and heavy romances or more complicated mysteries might not enjoy this but if you want something light to cheer you up and make you laugh, this is a great try.

The Good:The casting for this drama was simply amazing and wonderful. I, especially, enjoyed the naivety that the male lead has (making it more adorable and squeal-worthy) as well as the positive attitude that Yoo In-Na has throughout the whole drama. Many people would comment within the first few episodes that she was annoying and ditsy. However, I thought it was smart to portray her like that from the start. From then on, we can slowly see her character develop from a girl who was easily tricked and inexperienced at everything turn into an actual reliable secretary. The same goes for Lee Dong-Wook, he seemed to be very pricky and biased against Yoo In-Na and had thick ice walls surrounding him. As the drama continues on, we can see how he is smiling more and being more experienced in the field of romance. The sound effects furing the humourous scenes was a great additional plus!
The Bad:
One thing that really bothered me was the fact that we never actually got to see how everything with the Lee Jang-Hoon was resolved. It just seemed that it was really abrupt how it all ended. It did not provide me with a sense of resolution. It felt like, "We have video evidence. Arrest this guy who has basically ruined Yoo In-Na's life and he is never to be spoken of again." That bothers me a lot especially when Yoo In-Na has stated that she was a client and she would like to press charges. I thought it would turn into another case where Yoo In-Na would be able to testify and finally work out all the rumours that have led up to her not receiving any jobs for the past five years. However, that seems to be have resolved all it by itself with help from media. There is also a lot of plot holes that need to be filled.
Overall, this drama is generally light-hearted and is a huge fluffball of romance. I really enjoyed how every actor/actresses have amazing chemistry and relationships with one another. If you are looking for something with an actual storyline, this might not be the best drama to watch. Just a small warning: there will also be times where you would need to fast forward because the plot is being dragged out a little too long.

Maybe it's because I've been stuck in the Thai BL world after Chinese Dramas broke my heart about three years ago, but I've been sleeping on these dramas. This one, the title sounded a little weird but someone recommended it for me and I have to say, great rec. Over the last week or so, I've been catching up on Korean romance dramas and I have to say I'm in heaven. TOUCH YOUR HEART was so good. It had hints of mystery tossed in for a little fun, romance, sensuality--so good.
The female lead - top notch! Loved her personality. Love her spirit, her swag. She was an airhead but it's the kind that is only an airhead when she has to be but not in ever situation. She was light and loving and kind and all the good things.
The male lead - omg. So handsome, and alpha yet sweet - these are the kind of men I usually aim to write. Lee Dong Wook, I am ashamed to say I didn't recognize him until the last five episode. Now, as punishment (lol) I am going to dig to find other dramas with him because I love him. I'm even going to rewatch Goblin.
The character he plays has this air of innocent masculinity to him--you know, the kind of man we all dream of before the toxicity hits. And Lee Dong Wook was perfect in this. The emotions, and the laughter and the friendships!
Let's talk secondary characters for a bit - Love them all. I felt bad for Doo Sub though. He deserved to be happy too. The way that whole story ended for him broke my heart. I wish so much he could get his happy ending too because he's such a sweetheart.
Okay, the music in this was amazing. I know I heard Chen (from Exo) in there. It was romantic and soothing and all the beautiful things!!
There were a few times it dragged a little. But nothing that can't be overlooked.
If you guys know of anymore dramas like this one, send them my way. I will take all the happy endings!
Watch this and if you've seen it already, watch it again! I've been going through writer's block lately and this helped so much more toward being unblocked.
넌 할 수있어 !!!
