As much as I love the corruption story and how Han Young's going after Sin Jin and the rest of the politicians, what I live for in this drama are the quiet domestic scenes between Han Young and the people he care about. Watching the scenes with his family enhances the contrast with his previous life and it makes me feel so happy to see him make up for his past mistakes and becoming a better person. The dynamic with his parents is funny and sweet and I love their interactions.
His friendship with Jeong Ho is a highlight on its own, Jisung and Won Seok sold the dynamic from early on and I'm looking forward to their scenes in every episode. Both of them made some mistakes in the past and now they're trying to live righteous by standing up for what's right and helping those in need.
As for Mal Rye and her granddaughter, I LOVE their scenes! I felt for them so much in the first episodes and I feel so happy that they are receing so much help from han Young. Their relationship is very heartwarming, I love how Mal Rye cares for her granddaughter and how she doesn't want to burden her grandmother any further. I'm rooting for them so hard.
I knw that this is a legal drama first and foremost but these slice-of-life bits we're getting add so much to the story and the characters. The writers are doing an excellent job balancing them.
yeah thats why romance genre kdrama on netflix can sell if you have a huge fandom and looks. jisung, lee jehoon…
As long as The Judge Returns is getting its flowers, be it South Korea or not, I'm content. Unfortunately, international viewers won't always be drawn to non-romance stories or series that are not easy to digest.
I still think season one was the best of the three but I appreciated two elements of this season: the jettisoning…
The fanserving in season 2 was really irritating, you could tell that the only reason the writers did it was to please the shippers. And while I have nothing against the ship itself, when the writers are trying too hard to sell one ship, it's very annoying.
I will binge watch the last 3 episodes but honestly, so far the show is a 7.5-8 for me. The acting is good, the direction matches with the noir and political theme but the story and the writing fall short in some areas. Maybe the second season will elevate it.
So with the kid in a wheelchair's case...did they completely forget that the hospital is forcing unwanted pregnancies…
Yeah, that was a grip of mine too, they kinda overlooked the abortion issue and while I appreciate that they addressed it, they could have found a better conclusion. I understand however that tackling such a controversial theme in a country which still deems abortion as a crime is difficult, so hopefully we'll see more future projects portray it even better.
This series keeps gettings better and better. The tonal shift (which happens in the webtoon too) really elevated the story even more. I like how they blend comedy and darker themes together, without making the result too overpacked. Jisung delivers a great performance, I love Han Young and I'm rooting for his success in his second chance of life. Watching him developing and learning from his past mistakes is very heartwarming and I personally love his interactions with people from his past life, particularly his parents.
I am looking forward to this week's episodes, I am very excited for the confrontation between Han Young and Sin Jin.
I don't get one thing about these back in time dramas.. they die at older age and come back to younger self with…
In this particular case, I think that the thrill of getting a second chance and fix his mistakes is what makes him act like this. He is still adjusting, this is why he sometimes switches to his older self in order to not confuse those around him. He is excited because now he has the opportunity to be a better person and a better judge.
Gosh, it's barely been 5 minutes since I watched the last episode and I already miss my pro bono family. What a well-written and thought provoking drama. When I started watching it, I didn't expect to become so immersed to the story and the characters and yet here I am.
Pro Bono is one of this type of stories which make you think and question your morals. The writer did an excellent job portraying so many painfully relevant issues which concern not only Korean audience but they apply to global audiences too. The fact that the drama tackled some complex themes (such as abortion, immigration or disability), which aren't that common in kdramas made me respect it even more.
Each episode left me more excited than the previous one and I was always so excited to see how Da Wit and the rest of the team would defend their clients and serve justice. The second half was even stronger than the first one and the final part wrapped the series perfectly.
This was my first Jung Kyung Ho drama and I already consider myself as one of his fans. He was excellent in this role, he portrayed various emotions and his subtle acting encapsulated Da Wit's thoughts and personality perfectly. He owned this role and I am honoured to be introduced to him through this drama.
I will admit that sometimes, I found myself thinking that everything was going too well for the pro bono team. The way some cases ended was too good, which unfortunately doesn't happen in real life. But the more I think about it, the more I realise that this is another reason why this drama became such a comfort to me. Sometimes we need this type of stories. Stories that remind us that even though we live in a cruel and unfair world, there are people out there who will fight for the weak no matter what. Pro Bono doesn't attempt to paint reality in a positive way, nor divert our attention from the problems many people face. What it does is raise awareness to the unfair treatment less powerful citizens endure and make us question the law and who it serves.
The law is supposed to be fair and yet that doesn't happen all the time. So when people who are being judged unfairly cannot defend themselves, who is going to help them? While pro bono teams are vital, what society needs is a major shift. And since that shift cannot happen immediately, the drama shows that through small steps, we can try to improve the world we live in.
This drama will accompany me for a very long time. The writing isn't flawless but it remained very good and I am happy for getting into it.
Yes, I was. Like come on, why can’t it be just real tattoo? ._.)
This happens in the webtoon too, in the webtoon, he actually used his sleeve tattoo to cover a scar on his arm (so far, no scar has been shown in the kdrama, so apparently they must have changed this)
the only romance i will accept is with Jeong in & da wit
I think this is the romance the writers bet on too. I never thought that Da Wit and Gi Ppeum were framed as potential romantic partners. Gi Ppeum viewed him as a role model, an idol who shaped her ideals and made her become an attorney. I was afraid that the drama would follow a romantic approach between them but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
I became a kdrama fan last year. I was never a big fan of romance stories and for now, the majority of kdramas I've watched are thrillers or slice of life stories. Cliche romance tropes don't interest me all the time and usually, I wouldn't watch a romance focused drama.
And yet here I am having the best time watching Spring Fever.
The first 2 episodes have set up the ground for a fun and hectic story. I already love the main leads' chemistry and I'm very interested in their separate stories. I want to learn more about Yoon Bom's life and the incident that got her expelled from her previous school and I want to see more layers of Jae Gyu's character.
I adore the energy between these two and it melted my heart to see Yoon Bom finally letting herself be happy and carefree around someone. I am very excited about the developing romance between them and I hope they will not spoil it by adding unnecessary drama.
The rest of the characters are also very engaging, Han Gyul is such a soft and kind-hearted boy and I'd love to see more of his relationship with Jae Gyu. He clearly loves him but the loss of his parents and the stigma of being an orphan have clearly taken a tool on him, so I'm interested in his own development.
The lawyer is another entertaining character, he wants to come across as serious yet he's such a dork (in a good way). I'm praying that he won't be the third part in a potential love triangle though!
I am looking forward to the next episodes. I can't believe that I'm having such a great time watching a romcom. This shall be a lesson to not limit myself to one genre.
As much as I love this drama, I agree with some people who say that the Pro Bono team's attitude is kinda annoying. I get where they come from but after experiencing first-hand how much Dawit's methods helped them win their cases, one would assume they'd cut him some slack. Especially since he punished a criminal of a CEO. If the series had fleshed out the characters more, this final arc would be a nice conclusion for their development but since we didn't get to see much of them, besides Gi Ppeum, Na Hui and maybe Jun U, their switch seem kinda bizarre. I remain optimistic about the ending though!
