Lawyers of Korea (2008)

I really like Lee Sung Jae on Gu Family Book, believe it or not. His character was my second favorite after Choi Jin Hyuk's so I decided to look up other dramas of him and OMG! This guy is really handsome! They made him look old but in reality he's only 45 though he doesn't look like it to me. So I found this drama but o boy when I came to check the reviews, it looked like not that many people. My only question is why?? I know it's their opinions but I really liked it. It was a really cute drama with lot of cute light moments. It’s the small moments, the exquisitely-handled romantic scenes that pepper almost every episode, that lift this drama above average, but it’s not just that. It's also the characters. Lee Soo Kyung as lawyer woo did fabulous job portraying her character. And of course Lee Sung Jae as millionaire Min-Gook was amazing. I loved the way he portrayed the character. Well, consider me one of his fans now. If you're looking for a drama with laws and stuff then don't watch this but if you're looking for cute, light romance then go ahead. For me it was absolute delight from beginning till the end.

When your enemy is an obnoxious maverick

I found this drama while looking for more work by the screenwriter, Seo Sook Hyang, who wrote two of my favourite dramas, Pasta, and Jealousy incarnate. It did not disappoint. I loved this drama for the wonderful characterisation of the male lead, the sassy female lead, and a great supporting cast. Lee Song Jae makes a credible and charismatic male lead,. So often, the comedic storyline in romances is overplayed, so that it degenerates into soap opera.This is somehow neatly sidestepped, without losing colour. Sung Dong Il is a chauffeur/confidant/comic relief/commentator, and executes his role brilliantly.
This is an old drama, defineitely worth rewatching .
