Fight for Justice w/ Heart & Humor

A “gangster lawyer” who doesn’t trust the law & isn’t adverse to using his fists + a young lawyer that believes the law is sacred who got her license suspended for hitting a judge. Together, can these unlikely allies bring down the most powerful people in the city?

This is such a stellar drama, imo. The story flows well without any major plot holes or inconsistencies to confuse/irritate the viewers. The pacing is also well executed - things keep moving right along without a lot of unnecessary filler scenes. I think all of the cast did really well, both the good guys & the villains were very believable in their roles. And, of course, the Leads did fantastic!

I know romance wasn’t the focus of the drama, but their chemistry is so good that their love story couldn’t not be a focus, ya know? I love when that happens!

The ML’s protection of the FL made me swoon so many times. I mean… gah, this man! When the baddies kidnapped her for ransom & he rescued her? Swoon. That scene when she’s being held at knife point & he grabs it with his bare hand? Swoon! The whole backstory of why he sought her out (in essence making his whole life about protecting her)? SWOON!!! Seriously, I loved the whole revenge plot & watching them go up against the corrupt officials & slowly unravel their web of deceit, but I totally adore this drama because of the Leads’ relationship. 🫠🫠

Don’t think the FL is some damsel in distress type, though, because she most definitely is not! Girl knows how to stand on her own two feet & take on the villains too, it’s just that she’s not trained in fighting like the ML is. Her strength shines through in her ability to overcome all the shocking truths thrown her way & continue to fight for justice against all odds. She has some serious girl-crush moments for me. Her foundation of what she believed to be true her whole life is shaken & dismantled, but she refuses to crumble. Instead, she shows her bravery & courage in standing against those trying to manipulate & use her, determined to get justice for those who’ve been wronged by these horribly disgusting people.

Where they start with distrust & dislike due to the FL being unaware of all that’s happening behind the scenes, she quickly comes to realize that the ML is worthy of her trust & respect. I loved watching their bond form & mature, both as colleagues & friends. They make a dynamic duo with a hilarious crew of crazies backing them up. (Seriously - their team made me laugh so many times, which brought levity to the heavy moments the drama served us.)

Even without the romance, their bond is deep. But once they cross from friends to lovers, their bond becomes unbreakable. Which is proven when others seek to break them apart - some for selfish reasons, others with good intentions. And even though the ML takes a step back out of respect to a request made by her parent in order to protect the FL, she knows deep down that something more is going on & chooses to trust him, despite how much it hurts. Which is why I don’t classify it as a real break up (watch it & you’ll understand my reasoning.) This duo is honestly one of my favorite couples in this genre, as is this show. If you haven’t watched it, you’re missing out, imho.

Lawless Lawyer in a very small nutshell has:
- Great action scenes.
- Suspense & tension.
- Plot twists & turns.
- Believable storyline.
- Evil & corrupt villains.
- Stellar heroes/heroine.
- Beautiful family bonds.
- Loyal friendships.
- Both humor & intensity.
- Ultimate Happy Ending 💖

If you like these things, then I highly recommend you give this drama a shot.
