Good Enough
PennyReviews25 February 2023
Korean Drama " May It Please The Court " is a law melodrama with strong characters.

And true, the characters, especially the female lead, were the highlight of the drama. Their chemistry was spot-on and enjoyable and it aided the progress of the story a lot. The female lead, moreover, was a strong attorney who had an interesting character and her performance was just right for her character, without overdoing her emotional scenes. The male lead, also, handled his character brilliantly. Their intereaction, in addition, was what makes the drama worth watching.

On the other hand, the main story was not as good. It was predictable most of the time, though there were some really dark moments. And yet, it needed a fresh twist to it.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Great drama with a brilliant performance by the Female Lead

First and foremost.. my oh my.. the Female Lead was superb in this drama.. Her acting was briiliant.. she might not be the prettiest actress out there but she is an attractive lady and definitely can act, very2 talented.

Secondly, i like the Male Lead also.. His chemistry with the Female lead was amazing. Everytime both of them has a scene together, it was a joy to watch. I like the calmness that the ML brought in this drama.. He was always calm, cool and collected.

Thirdly, the plot itself was great.. i like the way the story goes.. yes it had its flaw and can be predictable at times but its not like it will make you boring to watch the drama, its just predictable but the acting will make you stick with the plot/drama throughout the end.

In conclusion, i really like the drama.. Mostly because of the Female Lead. This is my first time watching her and i have become a fan. Will surely be checking on her other projects. Imho this drama would not be that great if she wasnt in it.

Why in English
charlestonsurf22 December 2022
The show would be a lot better in Korean with English Subtitles . An option for English can always be added as an option. This english dub while better than most still distracts from fully enjoying the show. Will add more to review after I finish the series. Show was originally shown in South Korea and I highly doubt they were presented with this english version. The lead I have never seen before but despite the English seems to be very good and will be interesting to see her character grow throughout the show. So far see is a cold hearted bitch in the first episode Is this a thriller or Rom Com or both with maybe a.

Ok with some flaws Warning: Spoilers
Finished watching all episodes and while there are some mystery and suspense there are some logical flaws in the series. Acting between the two actors in the lead is good some of the story line leads you to think that it may be a rom-drama but nothing happens. Lots of characters introduced that led to a bit of confusion at first but as usual with Korean drama. When an explanation is required for the viewers none is given and thus you have to wait until final episodes to get clarification.

Spoiler: Why did the lead actress get fired from the company and sent to another office and above all she doesn't flinch but just accepts it. Why introduce the shop keepeer (old lady) without explaining who or what her role is. Perhaps most of this is lost in translation but some explanation along the way will help viewers a lot more to understand.

8 in its perfection
backnblack-0612317 October 2022
Just started it with 2 complete nothing to not like about this, it not going to be a foolish romcom but there is a little indication that an attraction is building, het its KD but its mature. The two leads are fantastic the girl who ive never seen before is very talented she doesnt blow you away with stunning beauty even though she attractive and the male lead is smooth but not the typical cocky idiot. This is done with some cleaver writing and a good pace plus the side characters are some of the best and my favorites. Ill adjust as needed but for now someone needs to promote this very enjoyable series.

Not finished yet (on ep 7), but hooked since episode 1!! Definitely will be top 5 for me
seventeenthekid23 May 2023
I am truly invested! Lol This show just pulls you in and doesn't let you go! Also, I love the main characters~ Both of them just work so well together and the story and plot are so well done! I can't get enough of this show and it's for sure a must watch!! Each character has an important part to play and you can never just write someone off as simply a "side character" and forget about them. The show brings it around to where mostly every character brought into the show was brought in for a reason! Plus, the show forces you to play detective and try to link things together to get to the bottom of the murders! Still trying to figure out who done it! Lol They've given clues, but you never know for sure with this show! I just have to keep watching! 😁

Courtless Behaviour
Park_Min28 April 2024
At a first glance, the drama got a commendable cast bringing adequate performance to their character. The initial events and the 4 first episodes were eye catching, interesting and kept you looking forward to see where the story is going. However, the story just didn't quite measure up. It's like they've got all the right ingredients, but the recipe just doesn't come together. They very rarely went to court after that, it turned into mystery/investigation. They were also building a mystery around the male lead trying to insinuate something else about his character but that got boring really fast for how obvious and lazy their attempts were. Finally, the last 2 episodes and the climax were weak in general for a finale, nothing interesting or appealing came out of them. Don't expect much beyond the initial few episodes and the decent cast.
