ROMANTIC but not as thrilling as I Hear Your Voice
I came to know about this drama when I saw on one streaming site and the poster and the title quite catches my sight so I looked for the drama's info and found out that this drama is the remake of my favorite K-drama I Hear Your Voice. I decided to watch this drama for that reason as I want a fresher remake of IHYV.
The story:
While the romance part is very cute and endearing with a loyal and one-woman man male lead, I am quite disappointed that this drama does not have complicated cases like the original one. I am not here to compare but since it is a remake, I can not help but find the differences between these 2 dramas. The cases in I Hear Your Voice was complicated and full of twists if I remembered correctly. It was also thrilling with the villain's continuous killing attempts while in this drama, sometimes it is quite bland and sometimes overly dramatic. The law cases in this drama do not really evoke my interest. So, the romance is the only one that is compelling and make me want to watch the next episode. The conclusions of each law cases are also too fast and too easy. But I am not complaining since there is a good romance story told by this drama though. I have not watched the ending so I can not give comments about it.
The acting:
Applause to the female lead, Qi Wei. Her acting is so good especially the crying scenes. She is also very good at comedic scenes. She and the male lead, Jin Han, have got good chemistry. The feels are quite the same as the chemistry built by Lee Jong Suk and Lee Bo Young back then. They seem comfortable with each other. One of the main reasons I loved IHYV was that because the great chemistry between LBY and LJS. The male lead, Jin Han, he is charming as the loyal, protective, and quite calm male lead. He is natural at comedic scenes and he can balance Qi Wei's humour while for some serious scenes, he has not reached the intensity needed for the scenes. But, man, he is very good at looking as a man in love. The one that plays as Gu Si Yu (the female lead's frenemy) is also quite good while the one that acts as Yoon Sang Hyun's character is just so so or maybe he was not given much to show his acting.
The music:
As a longtime Kdrama watcher, I am still not used to Chinese OSTs so I can just say that the music fits well to the scenes.
Rewatch Value:
Because I love the romance, I will just watch the romantic scenes.
Overall:
I recommend you to watch this drama. It is easy to watch. The male lead while he is not that vrery handsome (although I admit that he is much more my type than Lee Jong Suk and he is good looking), Jin Han is very pleasing to watch. He is charming and embodies Jiang Xia role very well.
Correct if I am wrong: this drama is not dubbed unlike other Cdramas. So, we can hear the real voices of Qi Wei and Jin Han.
