YA Entertainment proudly presents Lawyers, a powerful 16-episode Korean TV drama mini-series from MBC, now with English subtitles.

Life, it would seem, is all about choices. Even the smallest of decisions can effect your entire life. Kim Joo Hee (Jung Hye Young) is a simple hard-working young woman. All she craves in life is happiness. She works hard as a secretary in a law firm, struggling to make enough money for her sister's operation. Secretly, Joo Hee is in love with her boss, the honorable young lawyer Seo Jung Ho (Kim Sang Kyung). Alas, he is married, so Joo Hee suffices to be a diligent and hard-working secretary as her way of expressing her forbidden desires for him.

Suddenly, out of the blue comes Yoon Suk Ki (Kim Sung Soo), Ju Hee's ex-boyfriend who has become a mean and shameless man. His client is under investigation by Jung Ho and now Joo Hee is forced to see him every day. But that suits fellow secretary Yang Ha Young (Han Ko Eun) just fine - she is out to land herself a rich husband, and thinks Suk Ki might just fit the bill.

Part courtroom drama, part thriller emerging (or you could even say escaping) from the syndrome of love triangle melodramas, Lawyers feels fresh exactly because its characters don't necessarily live for, of, and because of love alone. The best thing this Drama does is create a microcosm within society, as the moment characters enter the law firm's offices, they step into another world, with its own rules and dynamics. Seo Jung Ho and Song Yi Ryeong are the navigated veterans, workaholics for whom the office is a breathing space, their life, the beginning and end of their world. Jung Ho is living a marriage waiting for failure, with a hypersensitive wife suffering from depression and panic attacks, and Yi Ryeong is a career woman who prefers work and friends like Jung Ho to burdensome marriages and all the consequences that come from that kind of life. On the other hand we have Alex Yoon, slick and smart import from the US, with a dark past and secrets to hide. Right in the middl... [Read more]

Unrealistic legal melodrama

Thursday, April 10, 2008
Reviewer: Kevin Kennedy

(See all this customer reviews)

Since I am a lawyer myself, I thought that "Lawyers" might appeal to me. I discovered that my knowledge of lawyering probably decreased my enjoyment of the series. But let me set this point aside for a moment.

In "Lawyers", a Seoul law firm is hired to represent a rich guy who is seeking to protect his cash from an investigation into charges of criminal activity. At the client's direction, the firm brings in Korean-American lawyer Alex Yoon (Kim Sung Soo) to work with attorney Seo Jung Ho (Kim Sang Kyung) on the case. Jung Ho thinks the case stinks of illegality, so he wants nothing to do with it. Instead, he begins investigating the client's activities in an attempt to uncover the client's misdeeds. Alex Yoon and Jung Ho butt heads as they battle over the case, with the menace of the evil client always lurking in the background.

Alongside this storyline, we have the inevitable love triangle. Kim Joo Hee (Jung Hye Young) is a secretary at the law firm. Five years earlier, she and Alex Yoon had been engaged to be married. However, after her parents were killed and her sister maimed in an auto accident, Yoon mysteriously dumped Joo Hee and departed for America. In the intervening years, she has fallen in love with Jung Ho, who is trapped in a loveless marriage with a woman who is experience serious mental problems. When Alex Yoon returns from America and joins the firm, Joo Hee enters an emotional tailspin.

The series steamrolls through the first ten episodes, powered by the nefarious doings of Alex and his evil client. The story may be unrealistic, but it makes for very compelling viewing. Unfortunately, after the tenth episode, the wheels come off of this steamroller; the series bogs down in over-the-top melodrama. In these later episodes, Jung Hye Young's torpid, almost somnolent acting becomes a black hole sucking the life out of the series.

Now let me return to my opening theme. The series' depiction of law firm life simply is absurd. No lawyer working in a law firm would be permitted to work against the interests of his firm's client, but that is exactly what Jung Ho does here. Talk about a conflict of interest!!! Moreover, from the start to the finish of this series, we never see a single moment in which Jung Ho does any work for a paying client; he simply pursues full-time his unauthorized investigation into the firm's big client. In the real world, Jung Ho would have been fired in a heartbeat. Whenever the series attempts to depict discussions of legal issues or legal strategy, the discussions are meaningless gibberish; couldn't the producers of the series have hired a legal consultant to hone their scripts? A legal consultant surely could have helped make the series' lone courtroom scene less nonsensical.

Putting those issues aside, the first ten episodes tell a gripping yarn. It is unfortunate that the series gets so far off track in the concluding episodes. Kim Sang Kyung does an excellent job of depicting his deeply conflicted lawyer. Also excellent are Chu Sang Mi as Jung Ho's best friend at the law firm and Shin So Mi as Jung Ho's wife.

Reviewer: lightening fast (See all this customer reviews)

This k-drama has so much potential to be at the top of recent k-dramas. It has a very promising beginning, with enough suspense to get you hooked till half way through the series. But that's as far as it could go, and never made it to the top. The last 1/3 of the series just drags on until a very crappy ending - no conclusions and just plain weird. So all the suspense and all the stories amount to nothing. This series would leave you feeling unsatisfied. But, if you really have nothing else to watch, take it.

Lawyers is a Must See!

Saturday, March 03, 2007
Reviewer: Dee (See all this customer reviews)

I watch a lot of Chinese and Korean dramas, and Lawyers is a must see if not for the two hot lawyers, then for the love story between KSK and JHY. The love was so subtle and yet so powerful. I find myself rooting for them to get together even though he's married to a nutcase. And the fight scene between the wife and the secretary will leave you shaken. KSS is gorgeous as ever, but in lawyers, KSK steals the show with the way he looks at JHY. It's a wonderful series. Loved it!
