My Lawyer Mr. Joe : loving the relationship of Eun Jo and her mom awwwww

This is the first drama Ive seen that Kang Sora's character
(this time as lawyer Lee Eun Jo) is enjoying a
cool not to mention normal and loving relationship. with her mom...
holy sweet drama. youre fresh. im all ready to savor you
with just twin eps...now now...
....lemme give you a hugs eommoni!

Tho, in Doctor stranger, Sora's character (Dr. Soo Hyun) had a mom in her early childhood
years, but then it was shortlive because her mom (who had terminal illness) sent her to her rich father
for her to have a better education and lifestyle..
poor SooHyun, to this day, i will love her character to bits,
regardless of what others say of the drama.
SHE was my bae of all baes , soo to speak.
awww did i say i love her to bits???
that's my SooHyun :)

Then of course, there was ace intern Young Yi of Misaeng... of course YY has a mom, but
this time, its another let down. Mom was a push over and totally overpowered by a bum of a
father. i cant for the life of me, imagine life would be if i have a quarter of YY's hardship... so , again,
no adoring and loving mom there...

In Ugly alert, Dohee's character was motherless. and the mother figure growing up was a power grabbing aunt who is neither loving nor forgiving in the early parts, soo that too was a nahhhh.

In dream high, Sora's character Hae sung was also motherless. aigoo. again.
and in Sunny... hmmm well, the girls fam was never focused except for Nami,
soo Sora's character- the famous Chun wa, dont have the mommy figure too...

Then we skip to Warm and Cozy, Jung Joo had a mom somewhere (or soo we thought she and geun woo shared the same mom :) and it turned out mom was a conniving little liar, ready to squeeze in some cash
even from her long lost daughter (to be able to support hospital bills for JJ's half sibling) awww sounds to makjang-ish but harsh . cold. reality.

soo again. im thanking kbs and drama gods.! thank you for a normal loving daughter
relationship this time. For EunJo and her mom...it may not be the main focus since this
is legal drama. but knowing Eun Jo's character has someone to rely to this time..
then im a happy camper.
and its not just someone. its a mother!

My Lawyer Mr. Joe episode 2 review

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho" Episode 2

"Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho" has had one pretty impressive first week with episode two continuing to build our characters and their strengths and weaknesses, giving us a better look into our villains and delivering on the comedy as well. Most importantly, it is potentially a major turning point for Deul-ho and Eun-jo, showing us a glimpse into their future together.
The episode delivers some well-paced progression. Deul-ho (Park Shin-yang) now has Ae-ra (Hwang Seok-jeong) and Dae-soo (Park Won-sang) working with him, and he is getting back his groove in court despite some hilarious mistakes. We also get a glimpse into what makes our villains tick. Ji-wook (Ryoo Soo-yeong) feels inferior and wants to prove himself to his father, Sin Yeong-il (Kim Kap-soo). Yeong-il is motivated by success. Both are slaves to the Big Bad, played by Jeong Won-joong, because neither of them can see it hurts them and their relationship.

Episode 2 sets the foundation for our leads' upcoming internal conflicts. Deul-ho still has confidence, but he is angry and very emotional, which makes him a loose canon. He is too selfish and too driven by revenge over the events the new case is related to. His feelings of guilt and frustration make him forget that he is holding a person's life in his hands. The man is still haunted by the death of his beloved friend, however, so all hope is not lost.
Eun-jo (Kang So-ra) is kind and has a rookie's energy, respect for rules and will for work, but she is too naive. She clearly has a loving family and she lives in a world where superiors always look out for you and where justice always wins. Her biggest flaw is that she lacks faith in herself, so she plays it safe, even if that is not what is good for her client. She is essentially blind to people as individuals and trusts the established order.

This makes the episode's ending a remarkably profound moment for her and Deul-ho. For the first time, Byeon Ji-sik (Kim Gi-cheon) was not a tool in Deul-ho's revenge. He was a human being who had faith in him. To him, his lawyer was hope for salvation and justice. Deul-ho saw that and the realization of his responsibility hit him hard. Eun-jo had a similar revelation. For all her efforts and kindness, her client does not trust her.
It is some pretty riveting storytelling. I want to see Eun-jo's innocence and faith in a working, honest system collapse, but be replaced by determination to make it a reality. I want to see Deul-ho realize the importance of being a hero, rather than an avenger. They both have something the other lacks and they have good people around them to support them as they grow and learn how to become lawyers who earn and deserve people's trust.
What did you think about the first two episodes, folks? You can tell how much I liked them, but I would love to read what you have to say. Are you watching "Jackpot" or "Monster - 2016" as well?
"Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho" is directed by Lee Jung-seob, written by Lee Hyang-hee and features Park Shin-yang, Kang So-ra, Ryoo Soo-yeong and Park Sol-mi.

"Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho" is here and he aims to seek justice with every fiber of his homeless attire. He will troll you into submission and make you pay for your wrongdoings - in servings of spare ribs. Park Shin-yang is in town, folks, and he is back with quite the entrance. There is no better indication of a promising show than laughing, crying, cheering and fangirling all in one episode.
Episode one is a roller coaster ride of emotions and exposition. We get to know our hero's roots, where life has taken him and we get to see just how wrong things can go and why. The why is simple and something we have seen many times before. A guy holding hands with less-than-honest people decides to be honest for once and pays for it dearly. The show might be upbeat and deliver plenty of laughs, but it is also very raw and ruthless with its portrayed reality.

In other words, Jo Deul-ho (Park Shin-yang) cannot buy a break. He is betrayed by fellow prosecutors, including Sin Ji-wook (Ryoo Soo-yeong) and even his wife, Jang Hae-kyeong (Park Sol-mi). Then comes life on the streets and as if that were not enough, he loses his little brother figure by the end, too. Yet there is one thing Deul-ho has which keeps him going. He is a freak. He is a freak in the nicest way possible. Seeing a relentless, kind, and yet flawed hero fight for justice is something anyone, anywhere can root for. And root for him you will.
"Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho" perfectly hits the sweet spot between comedic and somber, between characterization and plot progression. Speaking of those characters, what a hoot they all are. You know you are witnessing something special when you see a loan shark give free money to someone out of pity. And when our leading lady, Lee Eun-jo (Kang So-ra) gets a man (you can guess who) arrested and then offers to represent him for the same case. The cast does a great job with their roles and the chemistry is popping and sizzling all around.

If I have one complaint at this point, it is that Eun-jo did not get much screen time and development. She is lovely and a weirdo herself, despite acting scandalized by Deul-ho's unsavory manners, but she is still very much your typical bubbly, hardworking gal. She does offer a nice contrast, but she can do that with more development as well.
"Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho" is the type of series which makes me the most afraid. It is a vibrant, fresh, unapologetically forward and fun show. It is also exactly what Dramaland usually manages to ruin the most by turning it into a sob-fest and killing what makes it so great. I really hope it will not be tempted this time. Can we please have nice things, Dramaland? Pretty please? I will give you a spare rib if you say yes.
