First of all, I want to say that I loved this drama! Lee Jong suk and Lee Bo young are two of my favorite actors and seeing them together in one drama is a dream come true!
I Hear Your Voice is the kind of drama you watch over and over again without ever getting bored. The story is a mixture of drama, comedy, thriller, fantasy, mystery and romance, oh my god the romance! It centers on the life of Park Soo ha who had witnessed his father's murder when he was a child and Jang Hye jung who had also witnessed the murder and corroborated Soo ha's story in court. Their lives change when they meet again ten years after the incident. Soo ha is now in high school and Hye sung is now an apathetic public defender who doesn't care about her clients and only does her job for the salary. Soo ha, meeting Hye sung again, gets disappointed of what she's become because she's so different from what he's expected. At first, Hye sung didn't recognize him but there comes a point when Soo ha has to tell her who he really is.
Young Soo ha comforting Hye sung after she testified in court. It was also when Soo ha's crush/admiration on her started and he promised that he will protect her.
The story picks up as Soo ha and Hye sung work together on Hye sung's cases with the help of Soo ha's mind-reading ability that he gained after witnessing his father's murder. As time goes by, Hye sung also becomes more sincere on handling her cases and starts to put her heart on it, making Soo ha fall for her even more. There's also Lawyer Cha who is gentle and geeky and who uses his idealism and empathy on solving his cases. He is a good lawyer and later on will fall in love with Hye sung too.
It continues as the three of them work together on different cases and as the murderer of Soo ha's father eventually shows up again. It's when the suspense and thrill happen. And as they fight their legal cases, they also deal with their personal problems. Another character in the drama is So Do yeon who was the other girl who had also witnessed the murder of Soo ha's father. She wasn't as brave as Hye sung so she didn't testify against Min Joon gook, the murderer. But when Joon gook appears again, Do yeon's beliefs change and now wants to do what she should've done ten years ago.
From the beginning, Hye sung and Do yeon were enemies but as they work together in revealing and preserving the truth, they began to forgive each other.
What I loved the most about this drama are the characters. I strongly believed that Lee Jong suk gave justice to his character and the other actors were great as well. The plot and twist were also perfectly made! Now this drama is definitely on my top 5 favorites!
[Screencaps]
This is when Hye sung goes to Soo ha's school to gather information for a case she's working on and Soo ha lends her a hand on using the computer. ke ke.
It was funny when Hye sung thought that Soo ha was the one who was calling her and in fact told him that she knew that he liked her and that he should stop now because he and she would never happen for he is a high school student and she is a lawyer. It was so embarrassing that she had to cover her eyes as she made her escape.
Soo ha: Who likes whom?
Hye sung: You. Me.
I loved it everytime Hye sung took care of Soo ha because she was always hard on him but deep inside she also cared for him.
Another thing I loved about this drama is the chemistry between Jong suk and Bo young. Aren't they adorable together? :")
There are more...
Can't they be more adorable?
This scene was when Soo ha finally went to the aquarium with Hye sung. When he invited her there, I knew something was going to happen and true enough, Soo ha said his goodbye to Hye sung (though Hye sung didn't really realize it). But before that, he told her not to make Lawyer Cha wait any longer because she liked him too that's why she was having a hard time. He then turned to go but Hye sung called out to him, trailing off, unable to finish what she was about to say and instead saying 'thank you' and 'to study hard'. Soo ha just stood there for a while, contemplating whether to go or stay and just before he changed his mind, he turned back to Hye sung saying "There’s one more thing you don’t know." and then ohmygodohmygod, he kissed her! :)
And then the plot twist happened. Soo ha disappeared from some time and when he was found again, he had lost all his memories and his ability to read minds so when he was accused of murder, he can't even help himself. But thankfully Hye sung was there for him.
Have I mentioned that I adore Hye sung and Soo ha? And on this scene I loved them more than ever!
Here, Soo ha already lost his memories but after finding his journal that tells everything about Hye sung, he finally concluded that he liked Hye sung and he also figured out why Hye sung cared for him that much. He went to confess his feelings but Hye sung rejected him, telling him they can't date because of so many reasons blah blah! But of course Soo ha didn't give up and waited for her. I really loved this scene because for the first time, Hye sung finally admitted that she liked Soo ha, too. And I liked the reversal of things, Soo ha losing his memories but still feeling the same way towards Hye sung and Hye sung now liking him, because it just showed that no matter what, they will always fall back to each other. Soo ha will always care and protect Hye sung and Hye sung, no matter how much she denies it, will always care for Soo ha. Gah, too much feels on this episode! :")
Hye sung: It doesn’t make any sense, but… I think I like that kid.
And in hard times, Hye sung was there for Soo ha. :")
Soo ha: When no one else will take my side, you’re the one who will.
Even when Soo ha didn't remember her, even when he can't remember anything about his past, Hye sung stayed by his side, protecting him.
After a while, Soo ha finally regained his memories, running to meet Hye sung but not telling her about it.
Soo ha: Do you still hate me?
Hye sung: Yes.
Hye sung’s Brain: No. I like you.
Soo ha: Do you want me to go?
Hye sung: Yes.
Hye sung’s Brain: No. I want to ask you to stay with me.
Hye sung: Yes.
Hye sung’s Brain: No. I like you.
Soo ha: Do you want me to go?
Hye sung: Yes.
Hye sung’s Brain: No. I want to ask you to stay with me.
It was hard when Hye sung said something that was opposite of what she really wanted to say but good thing Soo ha can read what was really on her mind.
“In that moment your lips were telling lies, but your eyes were telling the truth. Your eyes were saying the thing I so badly wanted to hear for eleven years… but to stay by your side, I had to pretend not to hear those words.”
For not telling her that his memories had come back already, Hye sung got mad at Soo ha. She avoided and ignored him for a night that it made Soo ha feel so bad. When morning came, Soo ha apologized and told Hye sung, “I won’t ever look at your eyes again, ever. You can just use my eyes in court. And if… you don’t want that either… if you never want to see me again… I’ll do that too. Just let me stay by your side until Min Joon-gook is caught.” Uhh, what a martyr Soo ha was.
But of course, Hye sung can't afford to get mad at him for too long so when Soo ha said he'd just come back to pick her up after work, Hye sung finally faced him and told him what she really felt.
“I like you, Soo ha. As a dongseng, as a friend, and… as a man.”
This next scene was also hilarious! It was when Hye sung didn't know how else to hide her feelings for Soo ha. At first Soo ha thought that she was thinking of awful and hurtful things towards him but when he finally read what was on her mind, it was the opposite. Hye sung was actually panicking because she can't stop feeling those things towards Soo ha anymore. I guess she was already deeply in love with him by that time and the only thing she can do to prevent him from knowing it was to cover her eyes. Tsk! It was funny and cute at the same time because Soo ha kept on teasing Hye sung.
Every character has his story and towards the end, we got to hear Min Joon gook's side of story. He told us the reason why he killed Soo ha's father and it actually teared me up. Of course he had his reason but he shouldn't have put justice into his own hands.
What he did was wrong but I somehow understand why Joon gook did it. Being penniless and feeling like he didn't have a chance to get justice, he put matters into his own hands just so he can tell himself that he at least did something. And I can say that sometimes justice doesn't work the way we want it to especially when we're penniless and no one listens to us. It's sad but it's the truth.
Overall, it was a really good drama! From the beginning to the end, I loved every episode. Now we go back to Hye sung and Soo ha. :")
Soo ha and Hye sung fought their battles together whether they bring harm or not, in pain and in bed. Tsk.
Their Happy Ending.
I hope you enjoy this drama as much as I did! :)
THE END.
