All Love, No Law
I was initially drawn to this show because I thought it would be a legal drama as it had "Law" in the title. If you're looking for a serious story of trial litigation & legal cases, this show is not what your looking for. It's just a love story about a guy who has been pining for a girl since high school and they finally get together. The two just happen to be attorneys but the law is an afterthought, primary emphasis is rom-com story, then neighborhood friendship.
Weak story, weak plot. Predictable storyline. I got bored around Episode 14. Episode 15 was incredibly lame: police with guns drawn have surrounded the villain who is holding a knife to the male lead, and the police do nothing- they didn't think of shooting the villain then?
The story and acting were mediocre and sometimes over-the-top (neighbor ladies). I was not moved by the performances of the two main lead actors, even their romantic scenes seem passionless. Both Lee Se-young's and Lee Seung-gi's acting skills were better in other shows. Also, Ahn Dong-goo is a pretty face but has absolutely no acting ability. Even though he had one major story arc during the series (the bullied middle schooler), he had only one facial expression throughout the series. The only acting performance I enjoyed was Jo Han Chul, who played the villain - he is so versatile in everything he has acted in, from drama to comedy (Vincenzo, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha).
I would not rewatch this show. Watching it once was bad enough. That's 16 hours of my life that I'll never get back!
