Shin, abogado de divorcios

I am almost done watching the entire season and I'm just glad I gave it a shot. Without giving too much away the first main story we can all really relate too. A personal video leaking on the internet. However the consequences of that can literally break someone's life forever. That's where Attorney shin comes in try to save the day. The comedy in this show is off the charts too and the way it's really balanced from such a serious tone to full on comedy but it really works. It's also a show I made my parents watch because besides being a really good show. It doesn't have really explicit scenes that a person would not be comfortable watching with the family. So you want really intriguing real life story and some very funny comedy aswell, LOOK NO FURTHER!

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.

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.

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.

This series draws you in gently and just as gently holds you captive; you not only find yourself involved with the characters, you truly feel for them, relate to them. The humor is easy; the drama real, not forced or melodramatic. I especially enjoyed the scenes at Grandma's Noodles. It is a little like the neighborhood bar where "everyone knows your name."

As I do not read or speak Korean, I had to rely on the subtitles, but it did not detract from the visuals or the story.

After researching the actors I was surprised to find that the main actor, Cho Seung Woo really does play the piano, and he sings, too. I will be looking forward to more of his works.
