He worked multiple jobs so that he could pay for his wife’s upcoming heart transplant. He was once a loving husband, father and son. Spoiler Alert: The backstory to how Min Joon-Gook became so evil was well done. But Cha Gwan-Woo (Yoon Sang-Hyun) ends up doing exactly that.Īirdates: Eighteen hour-long episodes aired on SBS from June 5 to August 1, 2013. No court would force a public defender to represent a client who had (1) beaten him up and (2) tried to kill his girlfriend.
#I can hear your voice soo ha and hye sung series#
She does grow into a cunning lawyer, who enjoys winning and learns to appreciate the hard work it takes to achieve that goal.Īs with “ Lawless Lawyer,” this series takes liberty with how law is served up. Essentially, she starts off the series as a stereotype of every single helpless female that men use as an excuse to not hire women.
And she throws tantrums and cries at work. She’s dismissive of her colleagues, who are trying to help her. I was disappointed at how the adult version of Hye-Sung was presented as kind of a dingaling. Once Hye-Sung realizes who Soo-Ha is, she opens up to the boy and they share a friendship, which at first is based on what they went through dealing with childhood trauma.Īs the teenage version of Hye-Sung, Kim So-Hyun (“ Moon That Embraces the Sun“) is incredibly expressive and carries herself with poise beyond her years. Thankfully, his identity isn’t kept a secret for longer than four episodes. Blessed - or cursed - with the ability to hear people’s thoughts when he stares into their eyes, Soo-Ha feels indebted to Hye-Sung who, as a child, testified against the man who killed his father.īut now, the murderer - Min Joon-Gook (chillingly played by Jung Woong-In) - is out of prison and seeks revenge on Hye-Sung, who he blames for his imprisonment.Īfter Soo-Ha finds her, he uses his mind-reading abilities to help her win cases and ingratiate himself into her life so that he can protect (and love) her. His father was murdered shortly afterwards. His mother died a month after receiving a heart transplant. And frankly, she’s more concerned with getting a regular paycheck. She figures the system will work things out. Hye-Sung goes through the motions, but doesn’t really care about the outcome. Lee Bo-Young (who was so wonderful in “ Call Me Mother“) portrays a scrappy public defender, who doesn’t do much to champion for her clients. The storyline would’ve been just as effective (and less creepy) if the scriptwriters had made Soo-Ha a few years older. To put things into perspective: The age of consent in South Korea is 20. And while Soo-Ha certainly is more mature than Hye-Sung in many ways, he is still a teenager.
The problem I had with “I Hear Your Voice,” though, is that the boy is a high school senior when the relationship begins. I finished “I Hear Your Voice” around the same time I started watching “ Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food.” Both deal with older women/younger men plots, where the woman is less than a decade older than her partner. ↑ Note: Korean names denote the surname followed by the given name.
