The cast was great. The acting was great. I could actually believe all the emotions each actor was portraying and the characters themselves were hilarious, cute, etc.
The reason why I dropped it down to an overall 8 and a rewatch value of 6 is because of the ending. At some point towards the end, it got predictable and some parts seemed like fillers. When I had heard this drama would have a two episode extension, I was ecstatic and worried because when extensions happen, the story seems to drag on. To me, personally, it felt like there were three different endings in the last episode.
The ending disappointed me but I still loved the drama very much overall. If I ever do end up rewatching this drama, I would most likely not watch the ending.

BUT other than that i real really really like this drama i feel like Soo Ha is much more mature then main chick she annoys me sometime but i come to like her with each episode i think this drama gonna take off because lee Jong Suk in this and his really in demand right now i but with the drama so far you never know how its going to end because there just so much emotion in every character i don't know why she doesn't have friends i wish she was more social but lately the drama settings are A. her house B. his school C. her office D. the police station E. the court room PLEASE MAKE IT SOME OTHER PLACE LIKE .... HIS CRIB. but overall really a good mystery/ Nonna romance thriller plus i LOVE LOVE LOVE NONNA romance

It's not your usual noona-dongsaeng relationship...or your typical law based relation ship or your typical story either.
It's fictional And the plot is moving at a very steady pace.. I am so glad!
The characters are relevant and everything make's sense,THERE ARE SOME HEART-WRENCHING SCENES as well as moments that make my heart turn to mush. I haven't really got a thing for melo-drama's but this drama has started off very well. Fighting that it carries on being fabulous.
The OST I love AND THE TENSE MUSIC IS SO FITTING! DEFIANTLY RECOMMEND!

This drama starts as a drama that people like me would expect... A DIFFERENT KIND OF DRAMA, one that ends with the stereotypes of what a Kdrama is, while not losing that korean charm that is the one that hooks most of us... Well im PRETTY dissapointed. Like most dramas it started EPICLY, i even imagined the day it finally ended and I came here to give it the 10, that by that time, i thought it deserved. It had great comedy, amazing thrill and suspense, and the character portrayal was such i could not pick a favorite. But, it all died mid through. The same pattern of your every day kdrama was adopted, the same melodramatic stuff, and I could start telling what would happened 2 to 3 episodes in advance... It had a glorious beginning, it was fair midway and TOTALLY crashed in the end. If you love your typical Kdrama, you will LOVE this, if you look for something refreshing and different, you will be satisfied for a short while only to be disappointed later on. The cast was great, they portrayed their roles VERY well! no complains there. I didnt sympathize much with Park So Haa midway in the drama but, it was ok (he reminded me a lot of his character in secret garden; but im used to characters being made for actors and not the actors actually portraying the characters) I particularly liked the antagonist. The way he had that "good guy/bad guy" switch was EPIC! (i would say more but im afraid I would be a spoiler)
The music too was great! Not that it had a wide variety of songs, I guess thats the reason I liked it. But the songs that did play were perfect for setting the mood.
The drama has its redeeming qualities, but if i had known it would have been more cheesy everyday kdrama and less trial lawyer/judge/prosecutor/defendant and accused action, I prob wouldnt have even started it. Its sad that for Kdramas to be a hit they have to be so typical and predictable. Anyways~ I give it an overall 6, cause it did have some awesome moments, if i kept thinking about how disappointed i was with it it would get a 3 or so xD BUT im trying not to dwell on that and remember instead the fun and thrilling moments.

When clichés are done right
There is a reason why some plot points are overused so much that those become clichéd because when those are done right, you get something wonderful.This drama contains a lot of clichés --
Traumatic past/childhood ✅
Leads childhood connection ✅
killer chasing female lead ✅
love triangle ✅
temporary amnesia plot ✅
situational cohabitation ✅
Frenemies ✅
I hear your voice is not a typical fantasy romance drama because despite having fantasy element like Mind-reading it still is very much rooted in reality. It's a heavily character driven drama where each character has it's own charm with strengths, shortcomings and dedicated character growth.
characters :-
1. Jang hye sung (Lee Bo Young) :-
One of the best female protagonist in any kdrama. A strong female with imperfect/flawed personality. She is not an ideal character but rather a realistic character who has her shortcomings , embarrassing moments, selfishness yet comes out stronger as the situation demands. She comes out childish and immature at times like, when attorney shin was ashamed that he couldn't get justice to his client in the past which hye sung did but she was cluelessly asking him again and again to praise her, and also acts selfishly at times like when she didn't have any proofs for min joon guk's trial in her mother's case she begged seo do yeon to do anything to get him behind the bars But when she is faced with challenges where she herself was wrong like the twins case or the gramps case, she does not hide it and tries to fix her wrongdoings.
2. Park soo ha (Lee jong suk):-
Another protagonist with tragic past and a supernatural ability however what makes him different is how he matures with each episode. He is somebody who has a tragic past and the ability to read minds because of which he does not act like typical teenagers However he is still immature in his own ways e. g. He has a very perfect image of jang hye sung in her mind whom he is writing in his diary however when he faces her in reality his delusions are immediately shattered which shocks him so much that he throws that diary in dustbin however he picks it up immediately after a few second because he still have a debt to pay for saving his life. His character has seen a tremendous growth throughout the season e. g. when he meets min joon guk at the restaurant he loses his temper however later on when he kidnaps hye sung, soo ha doesn't lose temper and calmly tries to solve the situation , first he confirms that whether hye sung is really there and also informs the police beforehand. There are other examples of his growth too like how his behaviour towards attorney cha changes overtime.
3. Min joon guk (Jung Woong In):-
A perfect villain who was once a kind-hearted human being but slowly turns into a cold-hearted pure evil villain. I didn't feel sympathetic with him at the end because in the quest of revenge he actually became so evil that he was not only attacking people to whom he has resentment (park joo hyuk or jang hye sung) but also innocent people who actually treated him well ( hye sung's mother, attorney cha and the fruit seller lady). He was well aware that he has gone too far ( even asks that random lady the same question in a roundabout way ) however he decided to still walk on the same path
4. Cha Gwan-woo (Yoon Sang hyun):-
A very mature and idealistic lawyer who losses things he care about because of his ideals e. g. He tried to save his girlfriend's mother's murder suspect despite knowing his connection with hye sung's past which lead him to lose hye sung as his girlfriend and in the end it turns out that he was wrong all along because of which he was so ashamed that he resigned from his job. However there are many moments throughout the show where his maturity even outshines the leads
5. Seo Do Yeon ( Lee da hee) :-
Very selfish and Mean prosecutor superficially but a very complex character who regrets her past actions yet still embarrassed to admit her mistakes. Her growth arc is one of the best.
6. Hye sung's mother (Kim hae sook):-
Best mother in the world
7. Seo Dae-Sook ( Jung dong-Hwan) :-
Somebody who never admits his mistake
8. attorney shin ( yoon joo sang):-
a wise senior public defender who has many regrets
The soundtrack of this drama is amazing especially "why did you come now" from jungyup or the acoustic version of "Echo" from The band "every single day".
There many trivial scenes which makes this drama special for me e. g. the train scene where hye sung sees all the used news papers and realize how bad her attitude was towards that old gramps or the dance scene of hye sung's mother where despite acting cold on-phone to her daughter she was dancing in happiness.
I've seen many kdramas and cdramas but this is the first time I'm writing review because I loved this drama that much.

The story was the best thing about this drama, but still, it wasn't very reasonable at some points, as for the acting, they were all great actors, but sometimes they were OVERREACTING.
And the thing i hated the most, was the love story, i don't know if it is just me, but i really really hate it when the girl is toooooooo old for the boy !!! he seemed to be her child, it was disgusting ... beurk!
