Kang Sora! ❤

As a viewer, I absolutely love it. The drama has great humor, some very masterful acting by Park Shin Yang and plenty of warmth. Its faults are not hindering my enjoyment.

As a reviewer, my only worry so far is the fact that a couple of important events only came to pass because of highly stupid and highly improbable circumstances. They need to get more creative, otherwise it is going to get too silly to keep tolerating.

If you like the genre (human/sort-of-legal), don't have romance as a requirement and don't mind a potential ajeossi age gap romance if we do get it, it is definitely one of the very promising ones and I recommend it at this point.

Honestly I was planning on not watching this but I haven't got much dramas to watch so decided to give it a go. I'm glad i did, it has reeled me in and look the quirky ajhussi.
however's its not perfect but definitely recommend it for now (the 4 episodes watched).

KBS finally breaks its Mon-Tues curse. I figured Daebak (from the 6FD lead-in) or Monster (because of the writer's trackrecord) would've won ratings in the first week, but that Neighborhood Lawyer would overtake it in the 2nd or 3rd week. I think if this was led by anyone besides Park Shinyang that it would have been seen as a hammy drama though, and would have failed to pull an audience, since the plot progress is flimsy. It's still enjoyable for what it is, worth watching for Park Shinyang to me.

i am liking this drama. just what i needed, upbeat, cute and uncomplicated. okay a little expected but am looking forward to a show where some story lines get wrapped up. The kdrama tropes are all here but somehow i am not rolling my eyes at them. i want to continue watching. i hope there is no romance between the leads though. i don't know why but the age gap is too much for me to deal with. plus i am hurting for the prosecutor who is gonna romance the ex-wife. his dad is nasty and he is gonna make some morally questionable decisions, i can just predict it now.

I love this underdog drama, my fave for monday-tuesday slot. Eccentric lawyer with mischievous gank, TOTALLY LOVE THEM!!!!!!!

I agree with what everyone has said really the USB and the truck of doom. Lame and lazy. BUT this drama has such wonderful feeeeeeels that I am managing to get past it. Plus the acting is good, the characters are enjoyable and the directing is slick. I really like it!

Decided to watch this drama because of Park shinyang and he didn't disappoint, he's a joy to watch, very refreshing, he's a solid actor, love this drama so far.

so far i like this show, because i'm really enjoying watching park shin-yang and kang sora. park shin-yang is an amazing actor. i agree that kang sora is very relatable, and she's just so natural. it's hard to find anything cliche in her acting.

but story wise, not terribly original and not even terribly good. they got lucky with the actors!

The drama that I love for Mon/Tue slot.
It's not perfect + the shaky camera but I still like it.
When he took off his penguin head, I burst into tears.
Park Shin Yang is love.

There's nothing new or extra-ordinary about this drama but who need that things when the simple ordinary things can be entertaining too.
Park Shin Yang & Kang Sora play their character really well. They look really natural.
The first 2 episodes were too shaky and it make me dizzy but thank god that episode 3 & 4 getting better and better, not so shaky anymore.

I love this drama. It's heart-warming and fun to watch. Of course, there're a few flaws but they can totally be ignored. I think it's because they had to wrap up his journey back from a prosecutor to a homeless man to a lawyer within one episode so there had to be a catalyst to push him back to the law game. It's really fun and entertaining how he and his team worked out a way to prove that his client was innocent. We all had already known who the culprit is but we still don't know how lawyer Jo will bring this person to justice. To me it's very interesting. On top of all these, it's great to see Park Shin Yang back on the screen after 5 years. It's a pure joy for me to watch his acting. He had done comedy, action, drama all in one episode. He's such a pro.

From the synopsis on wiki.d-addicts, I thought this would be a feel-good story about a lawyer defending the innocent from corruption. That's nice, I thought. But the actual drama is a lot more layered, with the lawyer coming from corruption, through the gutter of prison and the streets, with friends who are on both sides of the law...I like how connections are unexpected. Not only does he threaten a loan-shark to cough up money to a fellow ex-con, he also uses the same loan shark to ferret out information on corruption on the 'strait' side of the law. I like the unexpected layers, even if it means that sometimes the story seems to switch rails with a bit of a bump before it settles back into its groove.

I started watching this drama (without seeing any of the trailers or reading the synopsis) and I was pleasantly surprised. I like the cast and this drama reminds me a little of Legal High (minus the silliness). I really hope the drama continues to show how PSY's character overcomes the corruption like the first episodes. It's nice to see the underdog win a couple of times during the drama rather than only at the very end.
