He owns a building and lives off the rent collected, while also living on the rooftop of the building. Kim Jung-Ho is good friends with Kim Yoo-Ri (Lee Se-Young). They have been friends since they were high school students about 17 years ago. Kim Jung-Ho has held a crush on Kim Yoo-Ri for a long time.

Comments

Yeruchii Aug 20 2024 7:58 am I was gonna watch this after seeing Kim Seulgi in one of the snippets but it seems like she's not one of the main cast which is a bummer and the reviews aren't looking good so off I go.

Park Min Feb 04 2024 5:44 am Right off the bat the technical problems were too glaring to ignore. The washed out black levels were a true eye sore that I had to make a custom color profile for it through the media player. A big portion of the drama was shot in direct bright sun light which amplified the problem even further. Enough technicality, the drama was supposed to offer a mix of romance, comedy and law, although hints of these genres do exist but the drama did an outstanding job in failing miserably with incorporating and mixing each one of them. They may throw some cheap lines within the legal field but that wasn't enough to qualify it to slap the law genre tag, let alone its name. I find it hard to believe that someone would find this funny. I think even our primitive ancestors would have a hard time with it. Finally, anything involving the romance as a concept was unquestionably broken. They couldn't even have a chemistry running despite being the first step for any kind of romance. Lee Seung Gi shouldn't have accepted this project. For dramas that waste 90% of its runtime on absolute nothingness, this drama would have a strong placement in my Top 10. With all that being said, unfortunately, this drama isn't the worst of its kind; I've seen worse.

Henna Dec 16 2023 3:09 pm Get past episode #1 and it'll be fine. It's refreshing.

Wolfie Oct 18 2023 10:16 pm Hmm I thought Se Young (Jang Geum's Geum Yeong) would be great in non Joseon series. But I'm truly disappointed with this one. The story line is forced and filled with non believable details. Do Se Young really only good in historical series?

The upcoming "Park Marriage Contract" is combining her best habitat (Joseon) and the modern one. She might break a leg, I hope so.

Btw, she could be the most successful among Dae Jang Geum casts of her generation. Best wishes, *Geum Yeong* :)

Luna Sep 23 2023 12:11 am It’s a good drama but i think it could’ve been done in 12 episodes. It felt dragged out at some points, i still enjoyed it nonetheless. ??

So Lala Feb 14 2023 11:44 am I'll just assume both Lee Seunggi and Lee Seyoung do this just for fun. I mean, the chemistry is good guys, even with the side characters, and LSG & LSY definitely seem to be giving their best as friends-turned-couple who have loved each other for 17 years. I can see both willing to did those cringe-prone scene and give their all, but unfortunately, something about this drama itself pretty much turned down their effort; maybe the story, or the script, but it's really giving "unserious" and feels like insulting the willingness of the actors. Such a waste when the actors really did great really, even the villain. That's why I assume that, especially the big stars, just did this drama for fun in the middle of more serious projects. They did those "give-it-all" actings as their own stress-relieve, not in term of "working passionately". Honestly their acting and chemistry whether as a couple or as a group are what makes this drama bearable, at least in my own experience.

Jestine29 Feb 09 2023 4:52 am There are some good, warm and heartfelt moments but sigh, I feel like this is probably the least drama of Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young that I like and enjoyed the plot is good but I find myself just watching it and not actually viewing it. It's a 6/10 for me

Watch-it Jan 23 2023 9:37 am This drama really melts my heart. If you're hesitating because of comments that this movie is boring, don't care, just watch it.

I'm the type of person who doesn't like to talk at length. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "Warm".

I think what makes this drama great is the acting of the cast and their story. It has the touch quotes that I wanna save for myself.

You definitely shouldn't miss it.

Janet Jan 22 2023 9:08 pm If this drama came out in 2016-2017, it would have been extremely popular, or to anybody who is just starting to watch k-drama, this would be a good recommendation. I'm only saying this cause I've watched k-dramas for couple years and got bored cause I was predicting everything that was going to happen. Had I watched this a few years I would have been obsessed, thinking this is one of the best dramas, but I don't know. It fits the genre of Rom-Com K-dramas, that was released in that year.

Everybody got a different perspective on it, 'to each their own' I guess. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

Dna Jan 21 2023 11:13 am I rewatch this drama again for second time without skipping... first time I do skip certain part because I'm eager to know what is next. Now I really enjoy this drama...lee seung gi acting is daebak..what I alway like about him is...he really can potray a guy who fall in love...his teary eye always make me fall in love with him again and again like his previous drama...korean odissey. I'm screaming when lee seung gi won daesang for this drama. Congratulations!

Ani Nov 26 2022 8:11 am The drama in 2022.. love it so much..

Darmie Nov 11 2022 7:45 pm ok!!!!! I usually never leave reviews on any site but i just couldn’t look pass this one, the negative comment on this site about this drama makes me wonder if we actually watched the same drama, This drama is not boring at all, neither is it slow or disappointing in any way. in fact this is one of the best kdrama this year with a beautiful plot, story line , character with a lovely and satisfying ending.

I Read the reviews before i watched,I was discouraged but thank Goddess i had faith in Lee seung gi oppa, i just knew he would never disappoint, would have missed such a heart warming, romantic and beautiful drama, don’t even get me started on the crazy chemistry and level of skin-ship between the leads??

so all in all, this is a beautiful drama 10/10, don’t let the wrong negative comment discourage you..watch the movie and enjoy, don’t watch it and you’re gonna regret it.

peace✌️❤️

Amanda Nov 05 2022 12:19 am best romantic comedy I've ever watched, the main couple is wonderful, and lee seunggi's character is passionate, I loved every detail, I laughed, I got emotional and I fell in love ❤️

Sid Nov 04 2022 12:41 am I liked it but I think the show didn't need a bad guy. The bad guy felt forced in this show. Yes I know there was history between them but it didn't really add anything to the show, to me it took away from the show. They should have focused more on the lawyer and court than trying to get the bad guy.

Terry Nov 01 2022 5:43 pm Ok my honest opinion of the show was that it wasn't always bored. It started off slow and there were really good parts but there was also really mediocre parts. I didn't understand the relationship with the leads at all. I understood she chased him until he was caught then decided it was too much when he wanted more. That was ridiculous and the other relationships falling apart at the same time to solidify why she didn't want to escalate the relationship was dumb. I know the action isn't up to LSG's normal standards in fact he gets hurt a lot in the series but it was just a light romcom at the end of the day. Do I plan on watching again, no. But I definitely finished it and I am glad I did.

Selena Jung Oct 31 2022 9:20 pm OMG this drama is so boring,I only watched until 8 episode So sorry can't continue this drama

Amy Oct 29 2022 9:38 am Story is boring. Directing is bad. Got annoyed with villain story. Such a waste of Seyoung and Seunggi chemistry.

Mei Oct 28 2022 9:10 am drama is boring only the good chemistry between leads keep me going

Kdrama fanatic Oct 27 2022 9:04 am It's not the best rom com drama but I must say very loving character of Kim Yuri did well here. They are amazing pair to me and those sweet moment I enjoy it.. If you're a big fan of these two leads I'm sure you will enjoy like I did.. If you're only rooting for one lead and u don't like the partner maybe it's not for u. Whatever Seyoung project I always support and never complain.. Maybe it takes a while before we can see another project from her. 8/10 for me

NamHeeJin Oct 26 2022 11:31 pm Sorry but this is Seung Gi’s worst drama ever. I watched ep 1-4 and skipped after many weeks to 16. I couldn’t stomach the romcom scenes. Maybe it’s just me but they felt forced. Couldn’t see the chemistry between the leads. For some reason they acted better apart than together. The script was meh but the villain did well. I hope they both find good dramas next time. But they really felt like brother and sister than lovers despite the cheesy scenes. Even at the wedding scene, I was more entertained by the officiant. First time it happened to me in a SG drama! Very different from SG’s previous rom dramas.

Side Note: I had dramas I didn’t like but was still able to watch the whole thing faithfully, but this one just didn’t fit. Couldn’t do it. If you liked it, good for you! (no sarcasm intended) Hope you had a great time.

Thukha Oo Oct 26 2022 12:34 pm The sweetest drama I've ever watched. The final episode covers all casts included in previous episodes. I like this kind of final episode. It makes me feel all participants in drama will have happy life and won't separate from main casts.

Duh Oct 26 2022 9:08 am Episode 15 that was the most stupid hostage taking scene I've ever witnessed. Police had guns pointed at Lee pyun woong, but they wouldn't shoot even if he is no longer pointing his knife at jung ho. ???‍♀️

Blooms Oct 25 2022 6:58 pm thank for sharing this drama, looking forward to next projects ^^

Cheri Teleri Oct 21 2022 12:33 am Great drama, lots of chemistry between the leads. Love them both. Episode 8 had me screaming ? of course - for most of their lives growing up those older villagers would have grown pot & used it as a medication ?. Another mess the US inflicted on the world - pot wasn’t illegal in SK until 1979, & that was purely because of smuggling - opium was the biggest problem. I had to laugh when that doctor muttered about addiction while any medical person would know that alcohol is the biggest problem. The US is finally getting a clue at least.

Cafeprince Oct 20 2022 10:45 am I think the chemistry between the ML and FL here is ok. You want bad chem go watch Cafe Minamdang.

K Guiley C Oct 18 2022 12:18 pm I tuned into this drama mainly because of the leads-Lee Seung-Gi and Lee Se-Young, having seen them in”Korean Odyssey” (which made me fall in love with their acting). Their chemistry in Law Cafe was awesome- and real. Lovers quarrels amongst some great kissing scenes. I love that Lee Se-Young’s character dressed sharp and was feisty. I especially adored Ahn Dong-Goo and Kim Do-Hoon in this drama. They brought the cafe together and made the cast fee like one big family. I’d love to see these actors again in lead roles. Jo Hahn-Chul represented the “bad guy” perfectly. His character was one of my favorites. His acting is supreme. Altho I enjoyed Lee Seung-Gi in this drama-he’ll always be the Monkey God to me. I’m obsessed with that portrayal even more than his performance in “Vagabond” which was amazing!. So kudos to you Lee Seung-Gi for mastering another character. You’re versatile to say the least! (And you sing? Found you on Spotify-crazy talent)!!!

20 Oct 18 2022 10:29 am seunggi’s worst drama and i don’t feel the chemistry at all between the leads

230_ Oct 15 2022 9:46 am Lee Se Young is the best and most talented actress! I hope people will finally recognize her and her work. She deserves the best!

Akande Damilare Oct 12 2022 10:46 pm So so funny, interesting and I love the acting what a great act from Lee Seung-gi but please help us with vagabond also

me Oct 12 2022 5:43 am The character of Kim Jung Ho is so frustating. He played the role as if he is the most problematic guy in the world. That's very annoying -_-

Bichoko Oct 09 2022 1:11 pm I like this drama a lot so far and I really like how Kim Yuri's character is portrayed.

Kim Yu Ri, played by Lee Se Young, is a unique character who is certainly very loud BUT very mature and knows how to self-question and analyze the situation. Her way of thinking and doing things is something remarkable that we don't often see in dramas.

This makes all its charm!

Kdrama fanatic Oct 08 2022 5:06 am Very different from your perspective law story.. I love how Kim Yuri approach and handle some issue.. She is such a loving and not your typical lawyer.. It's mix of everything about life about this story.. Everything about this story is unique and fresh.. I love Lee Se Young more..

celebesz Oct 08 2022 4:19 am Jo Han Cheol is superb! Every second with him on the screen is truly captivating, funny and deep, like the best 닭강정 <3

Suzy Oct 05 2022 12:50 am If you don't love this drama I don't know what to say to you, very funny and comforting, most people only have bad thing to say about a drama no matter how good they are, am not surprise

fishiesswim Oct 01 2022 11:57 am If you want to watch this drama just go ahead! I love the chemistry and acting between the actors and actresses. The drama is quite comedic but can be serious as well. Great watch for me! Just watch the drama without being objective, without comparing it to other drama. Being able to laugh my ass off and cry while watching the drama is all i can ask for lol

YN Sep 30 2022 11:30 pm Although this drama has elements of Our Beloved Summer, it is more fast-paced. It is light and enjoyable! not complicated. I enjoy it so far because it makes me laugh, and the Kim JungHo’s character is so charming.

Jajjanh Sep 28 2022 12:20 pm This drama is supposed to be a heartwarming one. But why did I experience all kinds of emotion watching every episode. This will always have a special place in my mind. Love it!

BronCho Kerr Sep 28 2022 11:17 am I love the mukbangers of the couple.

Seyoung Sep 27 2022 7:58 pm Omg!! That kisssss!!! I just died... so speechless! They could make a beautiful couple if Seunggi doesn't have a girlfriend. Hihi.. I love how the story gets better and better every episode. Highly recommended for someone who wants light and feel good drama.

Darkeyes28 Sep 27 2022 10:41 am I would love to see a wedding scene at the end of this drama. That would be fantastic ending ??

Lee2x Sep 27 2022 5:01 am Lee seunggi can make a good chemistry with anyone, as always! Beautiful couple indeed.

Hamam Sep 26 2022 11:28 am So funny I really love this drama, their chemistry very good

Laurence Beza Sep 26 2022 5:15 am I absolutely love and recommend it. It is getting better and better each episode

Amy Sep 24 2022 2:39 pm seyoung and seunggi chemistry is very good

Maq Yusuf Sep 24 2022 10:47 am common romantic drama stories. in the past had a special relationship and suddenly meet again. I don't like it when all they do is fight. Personally, I somehow wasn't interested in the story, even though Lee Seung Gi in "Mouse" and "Vagabond" were amazing.

The other players are also less prominent and less visible. I stopped watching in episode 4. I got bored too quickly and wasn't interested anymore, again leaving the title "Law Cafe" which was only interpreted as the setting of their strange romantic story. The title is not used as the main storyline.

kim yuri Sep 22 2022 11:21 am love everything about it.the romance is heart fluterring,the comedy is so funny and the cases so interesting.A wholesome comfort drama for everyone.the rating should be higher!!

Ammie Sep 20 2022 9:39 am Many people said this drama is meh and boring, but i like it? Except the interview scene, i don't like it (it same like the producers) i stopped watching that drama because so many interview scene

AmbassadorCha Sep 18 2022 8:50 pm I tried giving this a chance after a disappointing first 2 episodes, but after the first 10mins of episode 3, I couldn’t do it anymore. I stopped watching it despite Lee Seung Gi. I watched all his dramas before this and I don’t understand how he accepted this. Wait, I actually do. He wanted to act as a professional (lawyer). But the script is so bad I can’t— ?.

Tey Sep 18 2022 7:21 pm So far, so good to the point that I am excited whenever I think about it. I am also hoping that monday and tuesday comes. It’s a good drama and their chemistry is so good. I love how they bicker with each other. Overall, it’s a good drama and I highly recommend it. Watch it now if you don’t want to be spoiled by others because it will have no thrill anymore.

Wizzy Sep 15 2022 10:00 pm I would just wait for this drama be shown on Netflix. Meantime i am curious how the viewers react on its ongoing showing and its rating.. the way i look at it the show didn't satisfy and thrilled the viewers. The pilot ep is like the crucial point that supposedly would keep and attracts (more) viewers but the rating is saying it. Seems the series is on the verge of thoughts like "to continue" or "to not continue watching" and "wow! I love to watch this" feeling of the people.. I hope the director of this show will put more efforts with his project. I had watched a lot of series that has simple plot but turned out good and i gave more credits to the directors (ofc aside from the actors). I am LeeSeungGi's fan and i would wait TLC on Netflix . I wish The Law Cafe rating will climb more..

Hyemi Sep 14 2022 9:48 am It's a really great drama, i wait it since cafe minamdang, and now i love it, the actor, plot, romance building, it's really great and so fun to watch. Legal drama with romance and comedy. Lee Seung gi & Lee se young fighting

Bob Sep 14 2022 9:44 am It's getting better as the plot develops...nice. great cast too.

butterfly Sep 14 2022 5:48 am This drama is great. I really enjoyed it. The characters and transition were superb. And what this show makes it interesting is because of the cases that improves the character development of the main lead.

Oppa Sep 14 2022 4:34 am Cried so much during episode 4. I have two nieces and it breaks my heart seeing young girls cry. Anyway, dont mind those negative comments, this show is great. :)

Jajsjj Sep 14 2022 3:49 am There are so many good romcom than this, what a meh

Emma Sep 14 2022 12:23 am The most frustrating yet gratifying slow burn romance. These actors have too much chemistry cause I’m always screaming “KISS!” at the screen

mystery Sep 13 2022 5:39 pm It a great drama.. each cases was very remarkable and just brings so much emotion and life lessons. And the Great chemistry of main lead.. Those wo were complaining after 1-2nd episodes .. It was just the introduction of characters.. this drama is so good. We don't need to analyze it. for it is balance with realistic approach + comedy and slice of life.

Laurence Beza Sep 13 2022 3:06 pm I love it. It keeps getting better. Today's episode was so emotional. Just give it a try guys.

Darkeyes28 Sep 13 2022 2:28 pm I really love this drama, it's so funny and you can feel the warmth. Fighting The Law Cafe!!!!

Kerrymida Sep 13 2022 7:17 am I watch becoz my fav actors I dont care what people said,ngeee

Kyam Sep 13 2022 6:26 am I watch this because of Lee Seung Gi, maybe I like the beginning of this drama, but I have watched 3 eps and it is boring. Maybe, the little thriller genre will make this drama alive? - honestly I wait for Vagabond hehe

Love Sep 12 2022 11:02 pm Im juz watching this as just hop over from a top heavy ocn drama; it has a breezy sunshiny lighthearted contrast. and if isn't this buja from hwayugi.

Bill Sep 12 2022 10:19 pm Honestly i got high expectation on this drama because of Lee Seunggi and Lee Seyoung but turns up it didn't fill my expectation. I drop this after watching 2 episodes bcs imo the story is boring and it feels like something is missing so the plot feels bland. And the directing tho is just meh.

Hey Hey Seyoung Unnie Sep 12 2022 9:47 pm I guess Se-Young and Seung Gi accepted this drama to fully heal from their Heartwrenching dramas (Mouse and Red Sleeve) Hahaha

Chloe Sep 12 2022 3:23 pm The only reason I am watching this is Kim Do-Hoon. :) Fighting the rookie actor! I hope to see you as a male lead soon!

leesung Sep 11 2022 7:12 am Feels like same plot as My Beloved Summer. Just hope there’s no more interview scenes.

Nathaniel B. Sep 11 2022 7:04 am It's cute and easy watching. I don't expect much if it, but a few laughs, a few sighs and the quick passage of an hour. Yoo-Ri is a bit too strident, but there is much about her that is appealing. It is a series to relax with.

Elena Sep 11 2022 6:45 am Ufff, I like the actors but the first episode was soo boring because each time they break the 4th wall in the form of an interview it completely pulls you out of the story. I wish that they would stop with that kind of nonsense or if you want to keep it at least start with a powerful scene and continue with "let's tell you how we got here" and after that add the interview parts where they punctuate what it was on their mind at that moment.

Also, the way they introduced the characters it was boring. I think everyone would have been pulled in much faster if it would have started with the drama related to her father and why she wanted to started a law cafe.

I want to give it another chance but I'm not sure that I will have enough patience.

Typical007 Sep 10 2022 8:47 am There are some boring parts but for now I'll just keep watching

IWANZ Sep 09 2022 6:17 am i love this drama. it is only in ep 2, but i love the simple story, how the characters tell us the story and the their background with numerous flashback but not diusturbing the continuation of sttory in each episode. the color, the shading, lighting are so good visual. it is artistic, i dont know why but romantic comedy from KBS is always colorful, soothing and beautiful. romcom from other tv station usually cannot get the color and visual as good as kbs, only good in posters but cinematography not that satisfying, but kbs is different they are good with editing and cinematograpphy

Lee seung gi is the MVP here. he can express anger and excitement with both words and gesture corrrectly, really good and realistic, not plain not exhilarating, with handsome lok and great acting like that he can do many romance comedy nicely.

Reya Sep 08 2022 1:19 am Story is boring. Screenplay is bad. I don't know how se young and seung gi accepted this drama. Bad director with Good actor.

queen Sep 06 2022 3:11 pm This is an awesome movie..great chemistry btw the lead actors...I really had fun watching episode one..keep it up oppa and unni..

Anna Sep 06 2022 11:20 am I think Yu ri father death has something to do with jung ho/ his family, that is why sudden breakup and wanted to be far. Story isn't going well, not good start at some point of time I feel boring.

Darkeyes28 Sep 06 2022 4:53 am Good start! Good chemistry, I am loving this drama already. Can't wait for episode 2.

New Sep 06 2022 12:33 am Such a good start. I loved the interview style of directing used to introduce the background of the characters - it was refreshing.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I watched for LSG & LSY and they didn’t fail me. Truly an interesting first episode, Seyoung is made for comedy!

Bareum has repented and is now a prosecutor ??

Kdrama fanatic Sep 06 2022 12:03 am First episode is like introduction to something unique in the next few episode.. I just love this kind of story.. Simple yet entertaining.. Yuri fathers death drive her to be a kind lawyer to help the unpreviledge victim to get justice.. A good start ..

stephanie Sep 05 2022 11:51 pm sSuch a lighthearted and funny drama..fast pace and not dragging at all..both seunggi and seyoung slayin the role!Chemistry is on fire. Their rating gonna hit 2 digits for sure!

Twinnie_ginnie Sep 05 2022 6:07 pm I love them in Hwayugi though I'm already a fan of Seung Gi since My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox, I'm an official fan of Se Young since The Red sleeve. I don't wanna judge the drama is refreshing since it's a slice of life I hope they will make it interesting per episode I badly waited for this.

Laurence Beza Sep 05 2022 6:03 pm @AmbassadorCha maybe it is because you are not use seeing him in this genre. Wait a bit and give it a try maybe you will love it.

AmbassadorCha Sep 05 2022 2:07 pm I waited for this LSG show for so long that I was very disappointed in ep 1. I don't know if the succeeding episodes will be better, but LSG's acting here is so awkward. Definitely different from his other shows. Hwayugi and Mouse were so interesting from ep 1. But this one--I don't know. I don't have high hopes. Not sure if it's the storyline or the script, but both Seung Gi and Se Young are not at their best. They were so good together in Hwayugi, I don't understand why they are failing here. Oh well, I'll probably finish this just for the sake of finishing it, but definitely a no-no. Sorry Seung Gi. I tried.

Wendy Sep 05 2022 1:58 am From being a supporting cast in lee seungi drama to being her co star omo

Blooms Aug 31 2022 5:53 pm I've been watched Special Episode sangat menarik! I can't wait for first airing next Monday ^^

Shaereonfei Aug 27 2022 7:57 am OMG! My bday twinnie unnie and Lee SeungGi oppa!... Son OhGong and Bong Soon, the zombie girl from Korean Odyssey reunites!!! And they will replace Cafe Minamdang wherein Oh YeonSo was the female lead.haha Can't wait to watch this... just hope it's on Netflix.

tina Aug 26 2022 12:48 pm can't wait for this..... love both of them

alset Aug 26 2022 2:56 am That is one ugly poster. They photoshopped it way more than needed.

upi Aug 23 2022 3:18 am no second lead.? that's refreshing..

bigguuu Aug 18 2022 5:38 pm People keep saying it is like cafe minamdang ?? what? Just read the novel it is way different . The female lead in cafe minamdang is so annoying whereas in law cafe was written with a solid background. Even the male lead has some kind of transitions.. being light and happy outside but he has a serious side on him in a given scenario which is so good when you just follow the novel.

Camellia Blooms Aug 18 2022 12:04 am And don't forget Happy Happy 'Seulgi' right there too!

Blooms Aug 18 2022 12:02 am can't wait for this drama LeeLee = KimKim ^^

tokitok Aug 15 2022 1:57 pm I absolutely love Lee SeYoung! I absolutely love Lee SeungGi! I am highly anticipating this drama. Can't wait.

MissA Aug 15 2022 2:46 am I think it's just like the drama they keep airing Cafe Minasomething from the plot. I haven't watched it but that's what I believe from the summary. I need something original.

Kdramawildin Aug 06 2022 8:24 pm Is this not similar to cafe minamdang a little bit ? anyway I’m excited for this lee se young is a new favorite for me from The Red Sleeve
