love Wei wei and Chi Chwng relationship...but producing could have been better.
When I watched the first episode, I wasn't sold. The dabbing is terrible, but after a while, you will get used to it. Also, the production and editing are not great. The way they change scenes... sometimes I was lost, like, "What just happened?" But despite that, I was totally in love with them. I was so excited for the new episode.I love how Wei Wei is slowly falling in love with Chi Cheng and their bridging. The storyline is great. And I am not surprised, as it's based on the novel of the autor Chai Ji Dan as the drama, Stay with Me, which is absolutely 100/10. To be honest, the Revenged love cannot compare to it in every aspect, maybe because they were on a tight budget and I think if the drama was produced in China, it would be much better quality, but I get that it could not have been because of the censorship.
The last episode felt very rushed, although I loved their moments together.

it is a dark drama but you will love it!
I bridged the drama over two days as I could not stop watching it. The cinematography and acting are amazing. To be honest, Jae Wook was born to play i daesang; it suits him perfectly. I love the storyline and how slowly we are getting to the truth. Not a single episode was boring. The chemistry between the leads is awesome! I love the bond Jae I and Hong Rang had. Their eyes speak for themselves. The fighting scenes were great as well. It was a real surprise to see the real villain, as he had my blood boiling every time he appeared. I will not say more to avoid spoilers.The OST is great, so fitting to the drama. It is not a typical drama; it is dark, and with each episode, there is more suffering, but it is a beautiful story of two people who try to protect each other. The last episode was very emotional.

A Boring Slog Carried by One Actor
While Pro Bono started as an easy watch, it quickly lost its spark. With each passing episode, the story became more boring, and I found myself losing interest entirely. By episode 6, I decided to drop it—I didn’t want to force myself to finish it just for the sake of completion.The "Carry" Factor I really liked the lead, Kang, but unfortunately, that was the only positive. He was truly carrying the entire drama on his back. The rest of the team was terrible and lacked any chemistry or charm. While the individual legal cases were somewhat interesting, they weren't strong enough to save the show from its flat characters and slow pace.
Comparison to a Superior Drama If you are looking for a better version of this genre, I highly recommend "Oh My Ghost Client." That drama had everything this one lacked: it was fast-paced, funny, and featured great teamwork and compelling cases.
Final Verdict: Unless you are a massive fan of the lead actor, this one isn't worth the time. It lacks the "drive" and team chemistry that makes a legal drama successful.

Great action drama- Rain steals the show
This season took a few episodes to find its footing. The beginning felt noticeably slow, and I wasn't sure where the story was headed. However, once the pacing picked up, I found myself completely hooked and couldn't stop watching.The boxing duo remains the heart of the series. Their dynamic is as strong as ever, and watching them fight to protect their loved ones carried real emotional weight. Rain, in particular, delivered an outstanding performance as the villain. He brought depth and charisma to the role, making his character both intimidating and compelling to watch.
The fight choreography deserves special mention — the action scenes were well-executed and genuinely exciting. Across the board, the cast performed admirably.
I also want to highlight Do Hwan, who continues to be one of my favorite actors. His ability to display complex emotions with subtlety and power is remarkable, and he added significant emotional layers to the story.
Be sure to watch both post-credit scenes — they are not to be missed.
The ending strongly hints at more to come, and I sincerely hope the production team announces a third season soon. I would love to see this team face another villain in the future.

Great idea, frustrating execution
The concept of Extracurricular is really interesting. But I'm seriously struggling to keep watching.The female lead is so annoying that I can barely stand her. I could overlook that if the male lead made up for it—but he doesn't. He's supposed to be the top student at school, smart and calculating. Yet he acts like a complete loser and can't solve the simplest problems that come up.
This drama makes me angry, but not in the satisfying way. It's just frustrating to watch. I don't think I can continue. I'm dropping it.

A Masterclass in Acting with a Divisive Finale
Dear X starts with a bang. The first half is a masterclass in cinematography and pacing—I couldn't look away. Kim Yoo Jung’s performance is haunting; she makes you pity her one moment and despise her the next as you realize the depth of her manipulation.The male characters were the heart of the show for me. I was rooting for them the whole way through, and the friendship between everyone was so well-done. Specifically, the bromance between Jun Seo and Kim Jae-young was a major highlight—their bond felt authentic and kept me grounded in the story.
Unfortunately, the drama couldn't maintain its initial momentum. While it stayed "good," it lost the "amazing" quality of the earlier episodes. The last few episodes felt like a bit of a mess, and the ending was quite a letdown. I was expecting a much more polished finale for a show that started with such promise.
Even though the ending ruined the experience slightly, the acting and the relationships made it a journey worth taking.

Average law drama
While this law drama has its moments, it's not without its faults. The cases are interesting and the workplace dynamics are engaging, especially the partnership between Seok Hun and Hyo Min. Their connection builds slowly and genuinely, which is one of the show's better points.For me, the real stars of the show were the second couple Jin U and MIn Jeong. Their story provided a refreshing mix of humor and heart, often stealing the spotlight.
Overall, the show is just okay. It doesn't quite live up to its full potential. The pacing can sometimes feel a little off, causing the narrative to lose momentum and making it easy to lose focus. If you're looking for a consistently excellent legal series, this one might not be it. In that respect, a drama like Good Partner might be a better fit.
The series wrapped up with a finale that left a clear opening for another season, so there's hope for more to come from these characters, though the overall quality remains a mixed bag.

nice drama that will make you cry and laugh
It is a nice watch. I really liked the ghost stories as they were very emotional. It is nice to see how Mi Jin changed working on the cases. Also, the team dynamics is great. I love the trio.To be honest, Mi Jun and Hui Ju would be better much than his wife. They had great chemistry together. For me, wife's character did not bring everything to the drama, quite the opposite, as the scenes in the last episode just left awkward. I like Gyeon U as he lightened the mood every time you see him.
It is a light drama that will make you cry and laugh, but you will not get stressed out as the good guys always win.

beautiful drama about amazing friendship
Beautiful, heartwarming drama. The drama kept my attention from the beginning to the end, and I couldn't stop watching it.I love the storyline, and Song Kang & In Hwan did a great job. I was tearful the whole drama. It's a beautiful story of Deok Chul and Chae Rok, whose lives changed by their encounters, and you will love their relationship. The most beautiful thing was Deok Chul's life advice. Also, it's nice to see how people around them changed for the better. It has a beautiful message that it is never too late to fulfill your dream.
The ending was just awesome.

one word....Overrated!
I was so looking forward to this drama as I was so excited after reading such positive comments and the rating was high. After the first few episodes, I was like, okaaay… I kept watching but caught myself not really focusing on the drama, and instead, I ended up here to check the comments again.I found the drama so boring. The story is interesting but badly executed. I liked how realistic it was as a story of normal people. Also, the production is nothing special. The constant flashbacks were so annoying as well. As it has 16 long episodes, I dropped the drama at episode 6.
It's a shame, as I really liked Gang Du's character, who was cold and savvy but had a good heart. For me the drama is overrated.

the drama is overrated
I was so excited for this drama, especially since its rating was so high, but I was disappointed. The production felt off, and the acting was okayish. The story was interesting but not executed very well. I pushed myself to continue each episode, as I was losing focus and getting bored. I dropped it at the sixth episode. In my opinion, the drama is overrated.

Disappointed...it's so badly written
The story is interesting but badly executed. My favorite thing in this drama is Ji Hun's friends; they are hilarious, and I love Ji Hun's character; he always makes me smile. He is so cute. On the other hand, Do Ba U is getting on my nerves, especially toward episode 7. To be honest, the writing is bad. The ending of episode 7 had my blood boiling, as did episode 8, because after all the fuss he made, he suddenly changed his mind. Waste of time.Was this review helpful to you?
What a crazy ride..... I need more!
You will fall in love with this crazy bloody family. It has a unique and interesting storyline and is fun to watch, full of action, and you won't get bored. The acting was great, and they all fit well as a family.I was hooked from the beginning and binge-watched the drama. I wish the drama were longer, as it's often the opposite. I love the dark humor and the unseriousness of the drama.
Six episodes are not enough!
The ending is open, so I hope we will get a second season soon.

Great storyline with fenomenal acting of Do Hwan that makes you laugh & cry.
I was hooked from the first episode, as the drama keeps you entertained all the time. There is no boring moment or bad scene or useless character. The drama has great screenwriting, and the director has done a superb job. The drama will make you laugh and will make you cry.I have to say Do Hwan was perfect for this role; he slayed! I am really impressed with his performance, and their chemistry is amazing. They took us on an amazing journey, even though we knew it would not be a happy ending. I loved the dynamic of the drama and all the characters.
Even though you will cry your eyes out in the last episode, it's worth it. Do Hwan's acting was phenomenal. It will stay with me for a long time.

Great concept but poor execution!
To be honest, I was expecting much more from this drama. The start was great, but the drama became boring very quickly, so I had to start skipping scenes. I really liked the past story mixed with the present. I wasn't keen on the idol part, as it was not very interesting and did not add much to the story. Also, I loved the brothers, but I was not a fan of the main female lead, as I did not like her portrayal of the character. I would prefer it if they concentrated more on the brothers' story. The drama has a great concept but failed to execute it well. Also, they could have done a better job of lip-singing, as every time the female lead sang, it felt strange.For me, it was a waste a time.
