Honestly, it's been a long time since I watched a show that delighted me as much as this one does. You sort of watch it with your heart in a clutch, wanting to wrap her up tightly to keep her safe. In episode 4, when the director gives Woo Young Woo a long, long time to take in the whale photo in the conference time, I found myself tearing up at her simple, open pleasure. I absolutely adore how she dances with pleasure.

Gosh, I really, really love this.

I really dislike it when actors, especially women, are characterized as "fat" or "old".
Also, the version with James and Kimberly was the second version, not the first.

Your take on these never disappoints.

The 2FL is doing a great job of portraying serious personality disorder. In the real world, she'd be under the care of appropriate mental healthcare professionals and medicated or institutionalized. In this drama, her behavior doesn't elicit sympathy. In the middle of one of her tantrums, you just sort of want to roll her up in a rug, and pound her until she shuts the hell up. But you know.

Lakorn.

She is really funny. She's been a delight in every role I've seen her in. Wishing her and her fiancee all happiness and joy.

This show.
It started out so well, and now it's just a typical romance bore with a potential love triangle on the horizon. FL starts out badass, and now her brain is dissolving into man goo. Bummer.

Excuse me for saying, but the FL's makeup is grotesque.

Carry on.

Thanks for the suggestion!

2022 has mostly been a bust for me, drama wise, but then along came "A Dream of Splendor" and "Alchemy of Souls", and now "Lawyer Woo Young Woo". Even if we don't get any other good shows (and we will, I hope), there will be these 3 to re-watch and re-watch, if it comes to it.

I saw that when looked at what part 2 was about :-)

The trailer was more comedic than I was expecting, but it looks fun as heck.

Guess I'll wait til it's over, or there are more reviews. I bailed after the first half. Parts--even lots of them--are really funny, but I wanted a different tone than this.

I love it so much. It's a 10 for me, for sure.

Ffs.

She's sitting in an interview room and her own attorney is so stupid, she's trying to get her to admit to conspiracy to murder? Is it her attorney's first case, or what? Also, I realize law is different in S. Korea, but don't these genius attorneys know that the cops are listening to and watching every thing they say? Don't they know that that's what cops are allowed to do in S. Korean (if they are?) This is a level of stupid representation that ought to get her attorney disbarred. Even in S. Korea, the advice people get is not to talk without their lawyer present. What good is this advice if your attorney gets you to say what the police couldn't, and then that's used against you in court? So very, very dumb, and a real disservice to S. Korean viewers.

Sorry. I had to get that off my chest.

Completely agree. Thailand's law firms, like other law firms the world over, are not known for their sense of play, humor or dress. You couldn't wear any of these clothes, you probably couldn't date a co-worker, you absolutely could not have these kinds of public brawls. It's just too silly for words.

The best thing about this oh, so typical lakorn is the opening OST.

After that, it's beautiful people playing stupid games, winning stupid prizes. It wouldn't be a lakorn if it didn't feature a fairly weak FL, a 2nd FL with a personality disorder who messes with everyone she encounters, and ML and 2ML who are equal parts great looking, nutsy about the FL, and fairly stupid. There's not much original story telling going on here (not that you'd watch a lakorn for that reason, anyway,)

It's going to be too long, and it's already too tropey, and I'm only at episode 8.

Very interesting article! I wish I'd paid more attention to television when I was in China in 2003. The only thing I think I got in my hotel room was the news, CNN, and whatever was being streamed on cable (think HBO). I was in a big hotel, and I'm American, so I have no idea what effect that had on what was available to watch. (My hotel room was searched thoroughly every day!)

Annyeo! I'm Ba Bi's tongue!
I'm dying.

She's had a very difficult last 12-18 months, for sure, but I think a lot of it is some deliberate styling for the show. She's meant to look icy, but it's a bit overdone, I think.

I like it, and I'll be watching to the end. Seo Yea Ji gives her usual compelling performance, and when she's in the scene you can't look anywhere else. She's so very thin and so very pale, though.
