KDrama to Watch: I Can Hear Your Voice (2013)

I Can Hear Your Voice (2013)


Grade: B
18 Episodes

High school student Jang Hye-sung witnesses a grisly murder then testifies in court, helping to put the murderer in jail. The young boy, Park Soo-ha, whose father was killed, vows to find Hye-sung again so he can protect her when the murderer is released. Meanwhile Hye-sung has landed a job as a public defense attorney, and that's when she and Soo-ha meet up again. She learns that he has the unique ability to hear other people's thoughts when he looks them in the eye, and he helps Hye-sung win some of her court cases. But what will happen when the murderer finishes his sentence and is released from prison, bent on seeking revenge?

*There was an additional love interest for Hye-sung, played by Yoon Sang-hyun from “My fair Lady,” and he was probably my favorite character in this drama. This show is a good murder-mystery thriller, but it did go a bit dark for my taste and stay fairly serious. I liked some but not all of the music, and I didn't like how Soo-ha's abilities aren't really explained. It was an interesting reflection on the justice systems we have in place, how we are not perfect but we try our best to follow law and serve justice anyway. There are some romantic elements in the show, but it could have been cuter. Might watch again.*
