Sacred Divorce

First of all Han hye Jin is absolutely gorgeous. If I was 40 again I would go to Korea, marry her and give up my American citizenship. All kidding aside , another great well written series. All the actors are wonderful in their roles and it's nice to know there are slimey attys and good ones even in Korea. As always in K-dramas the on scene locations show the beauty of this country. The court room scenes are similar to the USA nonsense but it's nice to see people dressed accordingly. I find it amazing how drinking booze over there is commonplace and the national drink is SoJu. Watching these dramas and checking out on line the cultural differences helps to understand their dating practices and the phrases they use as we are more to the point. Good series.

I'm so torn about this one. I really like the story and the main characters.

I also appreciate the show doesn't follow "the case of the week" format, but instead keeps bringing the characters together and build their relations in meaningful ways, telling a much larger "slice of life" story.

But I ABHOR all the open-mouth eating, slurping, belching and teeth-sucking going on in the "comedic" scenes. Is this really comedy watching a red-faced middle-aged man belch loudly over a bowl of noodles??? Or fart is his bed? Or remove his socks and put his bare feet on a table? Or pick his ears with a stick?

I have no idea why some Korean shows do this. Why do they keep bringing these disgusting habits to the screen?

I the end, the show behaves like my dog. Absolutely lovely one moment, beyond disgusting the next.

The acting is this is fantastic. The most subtle of facial expressions and long takes on the faces of the actors to give you a chance to watch how they're feeling inside. Cho Seung-woo is great - just what his reviews say. His two best friends are caring under sometimes heavy teasing. The one really villainous character is actually shown with some dips. And the vision of Korean society, the differences in similarities from ours, I found absolutely fascinating. The Divorce situations or deeply moving. Wonderful - friendships, great music, and a fantastic sense of humor. I loved the main actors and even the secondary ones were good.

Its a very easy watch, quite relaxing yet also packs quite a few emotional punches.

The story develops naturally and holds few twists. It is more about the emotional connections people have and create, than a thrilling legal show.

The friendship of the three leads brings both the comic relief as well as the safety for emotional breakdown. Its rare to have such a believable, healthy friendship in a series and thus definitely worth watching for that alone.

The premise of the show would have easily allowed for 16 episodes or more. The fact they stayed within 12, makes for a tightly written, fillerfree experience. Definitely recommend this!

For some reason, this series is really satisfying me, attorney shin and his ways and friends have really grown on me. He rocks the piano, and his karaoke sessions with trot music and friends have definitely brought me some delight. His pension for defending underdogs (aka women) in divorces is satisfying as he does take the side of the oppressed. I wish I could eat at the Ramen restaurant that they always go to. I love the male friendships that intertwine the story. The use of music and the storyline is refreshing. Overall I have found the series enjoyable.

The unexpected turns of his hiring practices add to the story. He is a unique character and well enacted.
