did the stepmom of his nephew kill off his sister `? The way she speaks makes it seem like that. "I made this perfect family" I shuddered when she spoke like that, as if she is playing with dolls..

 

There's sometimes scenes for me that I dislike, in kdramas, that are like cringe to me, e.g.: FL moving into ML's house without asking (bulldozing her way in) etc.., 

 

In this case FL just comes in and demands a job (although in a more elegant style than usual FL in kdramas). This is however the first time I remember when the FL apologises for her actions! My jaw dropped...

Divorce Attorney Shin: Episodes 3-4

by lovepark

Our hero’s small circle rapidly expands as he finds his office teeming with potential clients and new allies. While most lawyers would be thrilled about the increase in business, our divorce attorney runs from the spotlight since he never chose this profession for money or power. Rather, the shift in career comes from a deeply personal reason involving loss, and the anger burning inside of him continues to grow.

 

We pick up the morning after Sung-han’s drunken antics, and our divorce attorney wakes up with a massive hangover. While he rolls around the couch in pain, he receives a video from his friend and screams in mortification as he watches his drunk self playing the piano. Paranoid about people identifying him from the clip, he sends angry messages to the uploader to take it down but gets no reply.

 

While Sung-han waits for Hyung-geun to come in to work, a surprise visitor appears: the building cleaner PARK AE-RAN (Hwang Jung-min) a.k.a., the client of the week. As established in the previous episode, Ae-ran hit her mother-in-law after witnessing her daughters get mistreated, and she explains all of this to Sung-han. She tells him that she wants her share of the building that her mother-in-law “owns” since it originally belonged to her husband. Though her request is difficult, Sung-han looks at Ae-ran with sympathy, and eventually, he agrees to take her case.

Nursing upset stomachs, Sung-han and Hyung-geun go out to eat soup and light up when they see their favorite ramyun shop open again. They enter in high spirits but are met with a new face who laughs at the sight of them. Apologizing for her response, she tells them that she is the owner’s daughter and was informed about the three poor saps who come all the time.

 

The new owner wonders where the third person is, and on cue, Jung-shik pops up. He demands his friends to reimburse him for last night’s meal since they both left the restaurant without paying, and they tell him to shut his trap lest the new owner gets the wrong impression. However, from the look on the owner’s face, I’d say it is too late for that.

Too bad, why ratings are low. Such an amazing show.

Not fan of female lead actress, her acting is so...not there and her character is also not quite good one. She is unnecessarily forced into his cases.

 

Having said that everything except her in the show is like perfect. All 3 friends their bonding and stuff. Even noodle shop owner. Crazy rookie. Really the show makes you cry.

Well, I am enjoying this and look forward to finding out what happened to the ML’s sister and hope he gets custody of her child along with grandmother receiving visitation rights if the child wants.

 

The three amigos are the best.  I hope the one friend’s wife has a safe delivery and he and the noodle-macarons lady get together.  

 

As for the FL, she has some hidden talents yet to be displayed.

Don't know what to make of this drama aha. The friendship of the "3 weirdos" is the only thing it has goin' for it. And maybe the fallen actress turned counsel investigator, Seo Jin is what keep me from dropping this. Her personality is quite interesting LoL.

To be honest the cases are a bit too simple. It was weird to see the divorce of the FL being finished within one episode. For such a jerk of a husband, he capitulated easily, there was no consequence after that, clean break. Maybe he will resurface later? 

 

One wonders how this law office stays afloat, since there is not much work for two people let alone five people they have now. I did like that the young lawyer confessed immediately and the others asked him to get the money so they can use it for a team dinner :D

Divorce Attorney Shin: Episodes 5-6

by lovepark

https://d263ao8qih4miy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/DivorceAttorneyShin0506-007.jpg

 

A messy divorce case lands in our attorney’s lap this week, and though he will try his best to win, the entire situation leaves a bitter taste in his mouth. As he witnesses his clients’ self-serving fight that harms everyone around them, will our attorney learn from their mistake or will he fall prey to the same temptations?

 

EPISODES 5-6

 

The main divorce case this week depicts a messy love triangle between three selfish people: a professor with cancer who cheated on his wife and is willing to accept his girlfriend’s liver, a homemaker blinded by rage who would rather become a widow than a divorcee, and a hairdresser lacking shame who envies and steals for her own gain. In the end, everyone is consumed by their desires and rushes headlong into the fire, unaware of the damage caused by their actions.

Unlike the previous cases, the story of the cheating professor, his wife, and his mistress acts as a juxtaposition to highlight other strands in the drama. The unsavory end of the divorce may be a message in and of itself — the folly of humans, perhaps — but the greater impact comes from its effect on others.

The unsavory end of the divorce may be a message in and of itself — the folly of humans, perhaps — but the greater impact comes from its effect on others.

The other character affected by the divorce case is Hyung-geun. At work, he plays the role of mediator, especially when it comes to their new recruit Jun and Sung-han. However, in his personal life, he flounders, not knowing what to do about his wife. Whether it stems from stubbornness or love, he hopelessly holds onto an empty relationship at the cost of his own heart, until one fateful evening.

In the midst of another pity party, Hyung-geun receives a call from his wife, and with the help of the ramyun shop owner KIM SO-YEON (Kang Mal-geum), he takes her to the hospital where he meets the other man for the first time. Forced to face reality, Hyung-geun realizes that his wife found someone new who cares for her deeply, and unlike Sung-han’s nasty divorce case, the cheater hangs his head in shame.

Divorce Attorney Shin: Episodes 7-8

by lovepark

https://d263ao8qih4miy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/DivorceAttorneyShin0708-014.jpg

 

Things start to heat up for our divorce attorney this week as he faces his opponents in earnest for the first time. Despite the obvious trap laid out for him, our hero accepts the challenge, and with the help of his friends, he uncovers a crucial secret that may turn the tide of this case.

 

EPISODES 7-8

 

The time has arrived for Sung-han’s big battle against the ones who have wronged his sister, so he gears up and buys himself a new suit. Looking stunning, he marches to Attorney Park’s office and verbally drags him through the mud (just for fun). After destroying his opponent to the point of silent rage, Sung-han reveals the real reason for his visit: a message for Young-ju. “1225, nice timing.”

As the dutiful lapdog, Attorney Park immediately reports to Young-ju who positively beams at the thought of Sung-han falling into her trap. However, her smug smile disappears as soon as she hears his cryptic words.

Backed into a corner, Young-ju turns to her father-in-law, Chairman Seo, for help, but the old man pays more attention to his model kit than to her. Whine as she might about Sung-han, the chairman merely sighs at her complaints and tells her to get over it. (He said it more tactfully than that but just barely.)

 

While Sung-han busies himself with his next divorce case against Attorney Park, Seo-jin has her hands full with a different one. Teaming up with Jun, they hope to help a wife with schizophrenia, and they head to the hospital after hearing about her attempted suicide.

There, they run into the family, including the husband, but the latter’s tears feel insincere to Seo-jin who is reminded of her ex. She tells Jun to keep on an eye on him, and he follows the husband to the lobby where he snickers to himself while watching variety shows.

Meanwhile, Seo-jin meets with the wife again, but unlike their previous exchange, she maintains eye contact with her. She shares a personal story about her ex and tells the client that she wants to be happy even if that makes her shameless. Hopefully, like her, the wife can choose a different path and be happy one day.

 

Returning back to the Haenam farmer case, Sung-han finds a few peculiarities surrounding the situation, and his consultation with the client only muddles it further. However, before he can make sense of the facts, Young-ju strikes first and releases their side of the story to the press. She paints the farmer as an abusive husband who bought a young wife from overseas, and public sentiment swings in her favor.

Fighting fire with fire, Sung-han uses the media as well to reframe the issue, and reluctantly divulges his identity as piano man to get on a radio show (his initial plan to garner attention as a sexy attorney was mocked out of the meeting room). When he reveals his latest case on air, the comments switch from glowing to outraged. It even creates an online campaign to bring him down, and everyone accuses him of being an attention-seeking jerk.

 

In order to figure out some of this case’s inconsistencies, Sung-han sends Hyung-geun down to Haenam and tells him to borrow Jung-shik’s car. Of course, Jung-shik refuses, but as soon as he hears Attorney Park’s name, his expression darkens and he willingly volunteers to drive.

When Sung-han learns about his friend’s sudden addition to the trip, he pulls Jung-shik aside for some alone time and tells him to stop feeling guilty. As it turns out, the one to introduce Ju-hwa to Attorney Park was Jung-shik, and no matter what anyone else says, he feels responsible for what happened.

Can't relate to the radio jockey's case, she cheated, got her video leaked, too bad for last bit but she is not the victim as she is painted for her cheating and then her entitled attitude at wanting back the morning show, sorry but I wouldn't want to tune into shows of married men or women caught in cheating. Also her acting is so uncharming, she has 2-3 expressions entered into her expressions database and they always repeat in the same order. If female lead character was so uncharming atleast should have hired a better actress.

 

Also not vibing with vietnam case. A 50 something guy will marry a woman half her age because she was in poor condition, if at some point she won't cheat whatelse will she do. I don't know why one is supposed to feel so much sympathy for him when he was on young bride shopping.

Well the cases are simple at least.  The older husband and young wife viewed like a gold digger or someone poor looking for a sugar daddy.  They seemed not to have any shared interests for her not to resist having an affair with someone her own age.  Even the idea of her large family being subsidized was not enough for her so, adios.

 

I know the new wife in law is created to be dirty and lowdown, but I want to know how low did she take things to get her way and will she be able to keep what she took.  Also, if his nephew is not within his reach or custody by story’s end, I may be upset.  It seems the daughter is her prized possession and the stepson a spare to be used based on the prize’s feelings. The children are innocent.  Leave them be!

Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching (April 1, 2023)

by DB Staff

DaebakGrits

Divorce Attorney Shin: I’m probably the most excited about this drama each week, although I do find myself enjoying the bits about Sung-han’s past more than the legal cases. I want to know more about his time as a pianist.
