Kya, kang so ra again.
I love her acting so much.
March 7th, 2016 at 12:27 pm
It is Park SHin Yang (lovers in Paris) a favorite and my beloved Kang Sora. What a great team. I am sure the acting will be great since both are acting greats (for me).I’ll be waiting. Good luck my beloved entertainers.
March 8th, 2016 at 12:00 am
After doctor stranger and then warm and cozy i be like so much to kang so ra. She is a great aktris. Hope this drama is good too.

March 15th, 2016 at 12:55 am
Hope for success in this drama, especially this is Park Shin Yang 1st KBS Drama.
Sounds pretty promising, even there’s a li’l doubt about Kang So Ra and 2nd lead.
I’ve wait his drama since “Sign” ended. Need to expand to more tv channel for PSY.
March 16th, 2016 at 10:47 pm
Love kang sora’s acting. Cant wait to see her new drama!
March 17th, 2016 at 10:55 am
Two entertainer who could really act, not just the cute factor. These two are the real deal. Love Kang SOra and Park SHin Yang. I had a cruch on him in Lovers in Paris and I really like Sora’s acting Dream high 2, Misaeng, Warm and Cozy and Dr. Stranger.SHe acted better than the lead in Dr. Stranger. She will go far in her career. Fighting. GoddLuck to both and May the writers give us a really good story.
March 25th, 2016 at 7:38 pm
No much like Kang Sora acting, look much mature than her ages. That’s why she always pairing with veteran actors in every dramas? Enough tired about politics and corruptions dramas, always the same plots.
March 30th, 2016 at 11:50 pm
Welcome back PSY!
April 1st, 2016 at 12:22 am
At ep 1 now.
story quite exciting but too bad the cameramen seems amateur because the shots quite shaky, not stable which makes me giddy…..
Hope there is improvement in coming episodes… 🙂
April 1st, 2016 at 10:34 pm
This drama looks good with Kang So Ra in it. 🙂
April 3rd, 2016 at 8:04 am
Great drama. My two favorite actor and actress! Way to go Kdrama!
April 3rd, 2016 at 1:12 pm
I like Park Shin Yang smart and never give up attitude. Kang So Ra though she is new in her lawyer post, hope she will get smarter and smarter under Park Shin Yang’s influence. 😛
April 4th, 2016 at 4:05 am
enjoying this drama very much. exciting and well acted.
April 7th, 2016 at 7:13 pm
This drama has such a unique storyline with great cast. Park Shin Yang nails his role really well, do does Kang So Ra. They made an odd but adorable pair. I enjoy this very much! 👧
April 14th, 2016 at 12:48 am
Nobody is mentioning Kang So Ra in Misaeng, I really loved her there she did justice to the/her character.

May 13th, 2016 at 9:18 pm
This is the most funniest law drama to date.
May 14th, 2016 at 2:45 pm
This is awesome drama! I like Park Shim Yang and his gang. He is a great actor.
Thank you for the wonderful drama…………
May 19th, 2016 at 12:35 am
Romance missing in this drama. Hope two main leads to end up together! Kang So Ra so pretty, i like her because not like other Korean actresses, she’s not too thin, love her figure!
May 19th, 2016 at 12:06 pm
ep 15 and ep 16 is really good because leading man Park Shin Yang finds all means to force the unscrupulous fat business man to stand trial — so funny and interesting. 😛
May 25th, 2016 at 11:48 pm
I stopped watching at Ep 15. I am disappointed because the actress portraying the Ex wife of Lawyer Jo has more scenes than the Main lead Actress Kang So Ra especially in the 2nd half or last eps. Kang So Ra is only a support here, i thought she is the leading lady, reason why i got interested. Also, this is purely a Legal or Law Drama and Comedy with Zero Romance.
May 26th, 2016 at 10:22 pm
What a shame .. Kang So Ra is just a filler in this drama
May 27th, 2016 at 1:43 am
Funniest law drama LOL .. not even close . Watch Japanese drama Legal High and just forget this half baked comedy
June 2nd, 2016 at 5:24 am
Two big problems.
1) Why was Kang So Ra so underused in the back half of the series? She was the female lead but was clearly pushed into the ensemble towards the end.
2) Where did Kim Dong Joon disappear to? Part of Jo Deul Ho’s team, not even in the last few episodes.
June 2nd, 2016 at 2:04 pm
Finished ep 20
I like to watch belong its not long winded like Mr Black.
Kang So Ra no romance with Park Shin Yang. Maybe the writer change its mind during filming.
1 – age gap, not match?
2 – family reunion after divorce can happen.
3 – Kang So Ra more match with younger prosecutor Ryu Soo Young which they are together in the end episodes.
4 – writer want to concentrate more on lawyer’s case. 😛
June 4th, 2016 at 10:24 pm
This is a very funny law drama to watch. I highly recommend it.
June 5th, 2016 at 9:24 am
They did not even try putting romance or sweet moments in Kang So Ra and Park Shin Yang’s scenes not even one, how can we say they are not a match? Kang So Ra ended up only in the level of those supporting guys, the gang or loan shark they call, in short , she is only a Support here, and i got disappointed. How come they gave highlights to that woman (the one in the end who got preggy), too irrelevant.
To those who would want to watch, this drama is purely Legal Comedy drama. No Romance or love line, as in zero in this drama.
June 9th, 2016 at 3:05 pm
sad it had to end :'( hope this drama will get many awards 😉 well done (‘v’)V
June 14th, 2016 at 9:28 pm
Kang So Ra (korea) though different age, but same face like Hong Xiao Ling (taiwan)
July 8th, 2016 at 10:50 pm
This is just a pure law drama. I’m disappointed because I think this is a romance drama. No romantic scene, no kiss, no hug.
December 21st, 2016 at 7:18 pm
Wow… I just finished seeing NEIGHBORHOOD LAWYER, JO DUEL HO! It was a great drama. The stellar cast did a phenomenal job. Park Shin Yang is so awesome in his role as the neighborhood attorney who defended disadvantaged folks or as his daughter called him “superman.” I do believe this is one of the best dramas I’ve seen in 2016. CONGRATULATIONS!
January 2nd, 2017 at 10:17 pm
It’s been bothering that Kim Dong-jun has been out from scenes of this K-drama since episode 13 if I’m correct. Is there anyone who knew the story behind his absence until the drama ended?
Admin do you know why? Thanks
January 3rd, 2017 at 3:51 am
@kurayuzaki666 (42),
According to the source from forum, he missing out on filming is because he’s busy with music, he just released his single.. just had his solo debut and probably is promoting on music shows.
August 22nd, 2017 at 4:25 pm
As expected Park Shin Yang really carries the show well. Contrary to what many has asked for I’m thankful the focus is not on romance. We have an overload of dramas out there that talk about nothing but romance. So its a refreshing change. Other topics are just as interesting and valid.
