Nothing new to see here unfortunately
Plot is one of the weakest I have seen lately.
Quite cliché revenge kdrama flooded with romance and some comedy.
I think the cast is way too good for this series to be fair. I was expecting a lot more and I was pretty much disappointed.
Every storyline is quite interesting individually but they never developed them enough and were resolved in 1 or 2 episodes, which is fine but then the big main plot never got to its climax and it was just weak and poorly written, honestly the villain here is supposed to be bad but was portrayed more like a joke or a satire, I never understood why.
I loved the female lead character because she was strong, steadfast and independent but at the same time there's way too many cliches with her too and you can predict everything she ( or any of the rest of the characters) will do.
The chemistry between the leads is good though and there's many steamy scenes that you don't usually see in kdramas.
I'd say, watch it if you have nothing else to watch and want something simple and lighthearted.

For Romance more than enough
TOO MUCH ROMANTIC THAT it will feel like CRINGE.
This drama was started very well, and if someone like comedy romance then it is good.
And if i talk about character, their acting is so good to watch. I know the lead male character is popular enough to be in a good drama, i saw his more drama. But i never saw this Female main character. She is super cute with hotness. Most of the time enjoyed this drama just by watching her, her smile, face expression was too adorable.
Now come to the drama story line, there was not a logical story to feel you attractive or make you to feel "what will be the next" in story. They just forcefully took a irrelevant story, and pushed the whole drama by highlighting it. So if you thinking there will be a interesting story with romance, than forget it.
Story was about a lawyer(lead actress) and a former prosecutor(lead actor). Lead actress loss his dad in middle school time,by a accident made by lead actor family's company. But they studied together and after so many year they meet again and fall for each other.
Though their relationship was too good to watch, but story was too boring to watch also. I still don't know what was the story wanted to mean. And their romance was too bold that, sometimes it feel like this drama is entering into "blue flim". Whenever they are intimating their dialogue was too annoying to hear( you will hear this type of dialogue in pr**n video).
So if you are searching for too simple, heart fluttering drama then this is good.

The Law Cafe: a special full package of a romantic comedies drama could give
Lee Seung Gi plays Jungho character flawlessly alongside with Lee Se Young who also amazingly presents Yuri character as a persistent yet caring person lawyer is the spotlight. The stories told per episode are something that we can see in our everyday life. So, watching it may like that you see your daily life. Also, we can learn several moral values through the episodes. Some issues like bullying at school and apartment residents clash with the construction company are portrait in it. Love story is also the main plotline, which go back and forth from the high school and college of Jungho and Yuri. They will surely reunite as a couple again, for sure. The supporting roles also play crucial part, especially to enhance the comedy scene. It is a rom-com drama after all. Feel the joy watching it, so worthy!

TOP NOTCH! Healing and Socially Aware Drama.
6 episodes in and am already falling deep inlove with #TheLawCafe.
Apart from the solid and undoubtedly strong chemistry between #LeeSeungGi & #LeeSeYoung, the adaptation of the web novel and the script are well written and executed. The cliche's have a refreshing spin to it, and each episode's ending leaves you curious about what our characters will do next. The sensitive social issues are tastefully dealt with and the strong performances from every cast member leave a mark.
Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young's chemistry is undeniably strong, both their eye-acting is enough to make you feel all the feels!
Definitely a KDrama worth binging and repeating. It's a rom-com drama with all the right twists.👌👍

Are you guys serious?
I couldn't even finish the first episode of this horrible series. It's so childish, pretentious and over-the-top pretentious. The overacting by all the characters, especially those male actors were just disgusting, they looked and acted more feminine than the real women. The weird hairdo of the Korean young guys or even older men, with ugly hairs covering their foreheads is such a disgusting trendy hairstyle popularized by the K movies and dramas. The formulaic twisted and zigzag way of talking by the males also make them feel more like females. Then the poorly scripted dialog, making her look at the camera, delivering a narrative monologue again and again was another formulaic acting cliche that we often see in the K drama series or movies other than talking to themselves to let viewers know what's going on in their brain; their thoughts got to be exposed through their mouths. I really don't know how all of these viewers gave this moronic, pretentious, childish, overly exaggerated series such high ratings, almost every one of them is from 8/10 to 10/10, while I couldn't not survive its 1st episode.

Sweet and Entertaining Melodrama
I very much enjoyed The Law Cafe - the leads had great chemistry and the story was interesting and engaging. That being said, it was littered with cliches and should very much have been labelled/categorized as a melodrama. I was not expecting so many predictable and overly used plot devices, so that definitely affected my rating. These cliches made the story feel at times overly dramatic and sometimes even ridiculous. Although I was certainly never bored.
The acting was good all around, but I have to say the absolute stand out performance for me was the wildly entertaining, entirely insane character played by Jo Han-Chul. He completely stole every scene he was in, and at least half of my enjoyment came from watching him acting like a total lunatic.
Overall I enjoyed this, but probably wouldn't recommend it. Both the leads have been in much better dramas, and seeing them in those would be time better spent.

Refreshing and heartwarming, strong chemistry between the leads
The show gets better in every episode, it's a binge worthy and relaxing drama. Lee Seunggi as Kim Jungho and LeeSeyoung as Kim Yuri showed strong chemistry and perfect comedic timing. This drama is different from the usual law series as it deals with cases outside the court. It gives off a new concept and every cases is interesting as it leaves you with an important life lesson at the end and makes you think and reflect. Not to mention, the OST is also superb and background music fits every scene so well. I'm glad I gave this series a try. Definitely a drama to look forward to every week. All the best to the law cafe team.
Well... not bad but is just little boring show
Finally finished this drama for 3 days. What I can say about this drama is that it was good at the beginning of the drama but in the middle it was quite boring. The story begins with FL father being involved in a case and being accused of being the cause of the deaths of many people in the factory he works in and the person judging him is ML father who was bribed. The story is very monotonous because it is easy to predict, like FL doing law counseling and being helped by ML and so on until the end of the drama. The romance isn't really felt in this drama because from the start there has been a very long time skip from teenage school days to work, so ml and fl already know each other and the romance approach isn't really felt because ml already had feelings from the start and fl had feelings at the beginning. At the start of the episode, it can be said that everyone likes each other, which is a bit of a shame because the romance genre and the law genre, as usual, don't really match because the law is more pronounced in this drama than the romance genre. Overall I gave this drama a score of 7-7.5, even though in the final episodes like episode 14, 16 I skipped a lot of scenes because I was bored, but in the end I was able to finish this drama.
The Law Cafe is more than your ordinary romcom drama
If I am to compare TLC to food, it's a full course with enough portions of everything. It will serve you balance sweet, salty, sour and spicy taste.
I decided to watch this because of Lee SeungGi, I missed him in a romcom drama. Of course, he never disappoints in giving me butterflies. But the drama exceeds my expectation, it is definitely more than an ordinary romcom. Their idea of bringing common people's struggles to high point and resolve the cases outside of the court is a refreshing idea to me, a law drama without the actual court set-up. The intertwined story of the main characters is also something to look forward.
I can't wait for the next episodes. I'm curious how they will solve the next case in ep.7.

Wonderfully healing drama with right dose of law and romance
The Law Cafe is essentially a romantic comedy but the mixing of law makes it pretty interesting. Its not a typical court room drama but its tries to find out of court lawful solutions to people's problems. Some socially relevant topics such as factory worker rights to safety, noise issues in apartment complexes, child abuse by own family, sexual harrasment and importance of consent, bullying in schools were raised in forst six eps in a very interesting manner. The issues are connected with main actor's story. The Actor are all so good specially leads Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young, they do justice to their character. Its really fun to watch the dynamic of a ex-prosecutor and attorney. Loving it.

The "Low" Cafe
Plot is obviously the weakest part of this drama. Full with cliche and mini stories in every episode , didn't get my interest at all.
The main plot never got its climax, while the villain seemed ridiculous.
Supporting roles were annoying as well as the main couple's fights getting tedious and repetitive.
The main leads , even if they had great performances in the most of their previous dramas , they seemed mediocre here. I think the cast was way too good for this series to be fair. The chemistry between the main actors was so-so. I didn't get their feeling but for me the problem wasn't their acting skills but the scenario.
Moreover, characters were "flat" and one-sided. They hadn't any development . I also didn't like the interview part.
Sorry but I was expected more. Low drama for my taste.

Good Lawyer Themed Romance, Suspense
Updated my review to a 10 after the final episode. Lee Seung-gi is cast perfectly to play the really cute intelligent male lead lawyer used to be a prosecutor under his dad. When he re-unites with his first love, who is also a lawyer, you know there will be a romance coming. Problem is, just when it starts heating up, he always runs off or rebuffs her advances because he is holding back something from her which is the theme of the whole series in the beginning - what is he holding back? Why did he quit his job? Why can't he tell her? What is it that he has to fix? It all gets revealed as romance blossoms, violence episodes with villains happen, mystery happens, more than one love interest, love doubts take hold. Loved the complete ending - leaves nothing to double about any of the characters and so love that. I liked the chemistry between Lee Seung-gi and the FLA which is rare for me so that says alot.

Happy ending drama in this year
I started this drama casually but got addicted to the storyline and it's not an ordinary rom com, it engages viewers emotionally and made us laugh cry and enthusiastic about the story, the way they both fight for justice is appreciated and the female lead did splendid job she is funny and lovely, her acting is the highlight of the drama,her mannerisms are the funniest,together it's a package of emotions, laugh moments and finally romance, each and every couple in this drama has their own happy ending which is very rare in this year as most of the dramas are tragic at the end,i was deeply hurt by 25 21 and big mouth,but i really thank the writers of this show for wonderful happy ending.

a fresh rom-com drama that will make your heart flutter
Despite having a drama theme that generally conveys a serious vibe, this drama includes a light comedy to keep the audience entertained. The storyline and cases presented up until episode 6 last week were quite interesting. Not only that, but the characters that Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Yeoung successfully portrayed are also very cute. The relationship is entertaining to watch because of Yuri's bold personality and Jung Ho's pretentious but caring personality. Lee Seung Gi deserves praise for being able to show a different side after his psychopathic role in Mouse. The way he secretly smiled when he saw Yuri instantly made the audience's hearts flutter as well.

I want to go on a journey
Kim Yu-ri (Lee Se-young) is a lawyer who decides to open up a cafe which not only serves coffee and snacks but also offers legal advice to its patrons. Kim Jeong-ho (Lee Seung-gi) is the owner of the building which she rents and lives above the cafe. These two have a past when they were students but due to the involvement of his family with the death of her father they became estranged. The series is amusing and often has characters directly addressing the camera, the villain is over the top and the romance is treated in an adult fashion. The episodes deal with the various cases bought to the cafe and has the main story of the evil uncle running through to the end. I am a big fan of Lee Min-young and I wished she had more of a role as her storyline seemed to be box ticking, but that being said a lighthearted series which is worth a watch.

Great Legal Romantic Drama
The Scam Cafe
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.
Fun, Heartwarming show that has it all: Drama, Comedy, Romance
above and beyond an ordinary romcom
On the one hand the drama has all the elements for a romcom, handsome & pretty main characters, bickering, fall in love, lovey dovey moments, kisses & passionate scenes etc etc. On the other hand it is so much more, it touches on many hot social issues in korea and offers solutions & comfort to people, like noise pollution, bullying, sexual harassment, child abuse, inheritance fight... And these cases are well blended with the main story development, well handled by the director. So it's not cringey like the normal romcom where each episode is about do you love me, do you love you.
Main leads Lee Seung-gi & Lee Seyoung are both brilliant actors, they did a good job in delivering the characters, and had very good chemistry as a couple. The humorous / funs scenes are also perfectly played.
All in all this is a light-hearted, healing drama that gives you comfort. I highly recommend.
