Unpopular opinion: Mediocre
The only reason I started watching this title was because I’m interested to see Seo Yea Ji in another drama after watching IOTNBO. I don’t think I’ve seen Lee Joon Gi’s drama except for Moon Lovers. I think his acting in Moon Lovers was great, but unfortunately his acting here on Lawless Lawyer disappoint me a little.
Lawless Lawyer appreciates unpopular actors and actresses, making them as an important support role. The “gang” in this drama made the drama more interesting and more bearable. But sadly, it didn’t made me laugh. Lee Joon Gi’s acting here seems a little too arrogant. He dives deep into his role, and his acting’s a little overboard. After watching Seo Yea Ji here, I can now say that her acting improved A LOT. Her acting in IOTNBO is far more natural, and it looked effortlessly beautiful there. Her acting here seems a little forced in my opinion. On the other hand, the antagonists, Choi Min Soo and Lee Hye Young did a great job portraying their characters. Their accent was something that’s truly memorable to me as a viewer.
The story. It’s a little too perfect for me. The protagonists are portrayed too excellently. Every decision made by the protagonists is always right, and almost every of the assistants betray their boss. That storyline gets replayed and replayed all the time along this drama. As a result, it gets a little cringy. It gets a little boring near the end since the “main conflict” is revealed right from the very beginning. The problem is that the story moves too fast, the second half didn’t get their portion of conflict: more unnecessary fight scenes, and the couple’s relationship conflict. But I’m truly glad they wrapped it off nicely at the end (Ep. 16).
What I like about Lawless Lawyer is that it leaves you wondering of what will happen next at the end of every episode. They succeeded in doing that, eventhough the beginning-near ending may be a little boring. I think it would be so much better if this drama had no romance, or maybe if this drama had plenty conflicts to be solved each episodes, not just one big conflict for the whole 16 episodes.
Overall, a 6.5/10! ⭐️
