Jung Kyung Ho and So Ju Yeon are confirmed to lead 'Pro Bono' After resigning from a big company, Lee Joon Ho returns to the academy where he'd studied, this time as an instructor. He's motivated by his lingering fixation on his first love, academy teacher Seo Hye Jin. Seo Hye Jin has been a Korean language instructor for the past fourteen years. She became a star after the legendary incident labelled “Miracle of Daechi.” Just when her life begins to feel settled, former pupil and troublemaker Lee Joon Ho, whom she'd helped get into a prestigious university ten years previously, shows up and stirs up chaos.

Reviews
Part endearing part aggravating
The male character is endearing - his zest, drive, and heartfelt portrayal of his character are what lifts the show. Unfortunately, the protracted and frequently boring storyline regarding the actual running of the academy, together with the unprofessional conduct, and competitive behaviours - all take away from the overall charm.I guess at the end of the day what really was a turn-off was yet another portrayal of an archaic, face-saving, and frequently harmful society. Destroying someone's career on the basis of them dating another adult - well, that doesn't make for compelling storytelling, it just makes one aggravated.
It is a sweet, slow-burn romance that touches the heart. It is also a slow and frequently frustrating watch.

Conventional Drama with Minimal Impact..
In a world awash with romantic dramas and emotional rollercoasters, a 16ep series must offer something truly different to actually stand out.. Unfortunately, this drama falls short of this and leaves us with much to be desired.. The script lacks significant depth.. And the chemistry between characters is rather mediocre.. The romantic elements are decent but still lacks any actual development.. TMRIH lacked the depth needed to truly keep us engaged or atleast with me.. Overall it’s a “so-so” affair.. Neither compelling nor terrible.. But undeniably underwhelming..Was this review helpful to you?
