"Even after 10 years has passed, I still recognized you.
Even after I lost my memory, and even after I had erased you,
I loved you again.
Even if 10 years passes and even if I lose my memory again,
or even if that time comes,
I'm going to find you and love you again."

IMO:
This was the first kdrama that I watched for 2013. The last one was City Hunter late last year. Lately, all that's taken my attention are American series. I'm following about 10 shows weekly and it's really time consuming so it's a bit difficult to add more shows. Last year, Jdoramas and Kdramas have taken a backseat. Now, I've just finished Itazura na Kiss and I Hear Your Voice.
Honestly, I almost didn't pick up this show. There was a lot of buzz definitely but I wasn't that particularly interested. But on this one site that I frequently visit, it was always among the top dramas that's currently airing. So, I went and read the synopsis and watched the first episode. From the very beginning, I was hooked.
That was what's really great about I Hear Your Voice. For the months that I've been watching it, I never once felt that it lost steam or got dragging. Korean dramas are notorious for this. They started out really great but gets dragging and even at times, ridiculous in the middle. One can only hope that it gets back its footing near the end and even then, one can only hope.
The actors all have great chemistry with each other. The relationships in the show (family, friends, colleagues, enemies, couples) all felt genuine. The love story developed seamlessly. It never felt forced. It had a good foundation and was given ample time to take root and grow in the hearts of the viewers.
The main conflict of the story revolved around the Min Joon Gook plot and I'm happy to say that it was wrapped up well. The writer was also able to come up with a pretty engaging and heartbreaking back story that served as the main antagonist's drive to exact revenge. It was hard to pity him at the course of the show but when everything was revealed, you will - even just a little bit.
All loose ends were tied at the end. It may not be a happy ending for some characters
Conclusion:
I Hear Your Voice has some of the typical Korean drama cliches but aside from that, it's actually one of the best dramas I've ever seen.
