Divorce Attorney Shin

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.

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.

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.

A real gem. It is short enough (12 episodes) and each character and case has a clear personality and story. This show has really good vibes and at times I really wish I was part of their team or I had the friendship of these 3 middle age single guys. Other characters emotional bonds are portrayed with good amount of complexity, heartwarming, painful; not just romance, but also parent-child, uncle-nephew, brother-sister, mother-in-law-bride.

The script is refreshingly mature and and I could say they tried to portray the fact that, in real life, divorces are not that simple. There are some great moments in the shows that I felt deeply for the characters. When I'm not laughing from the silly jokes, I cried a great deal for the traumatized.

It's sad that this show already had a finale. Hopefully we will see more of Attorney Shin in the future.

This series will give you good vibes for sure. Its a courtroom drama but not so much drama with just the right comedy. Like the title says, its all about divorce cases. It has its usual korean cliches but quite bearable. What I liked the most is the friendship of these three middle-aged men. Attorney Shin is my absolute favorite uncle, in fact I would love them 3 to be my uncles. They're so cool when all together and even individually. I'm on episode 6 so I'm hoping it doesn't go downhill like a lot of kseries. Similar to Attorney Woo, this is quite entertaining and doesn't give you depressing vibes.
