This was a very watered down drama with heavily loose trials thrown in. This drama shouldn't have been called Divorce Attorney Shin...It should've been called the American version of Friends because that's basically how the show went. Three best friends hanging out on a daily basis with a few watered down cases involved.

I watched this drama because I love the three male leads. I've enjoyed seeing each in their own respective dramas. I didn't know the MML knew how to play the piano!! Of all the dramas I've seen him in, his piano skills was never introduced or I missed something. It's good to see hidden talents of actors though.


That trot music and them singing...waste of drama minutes for me!

I did like the second FL who worked in her grandmother's restaurant. I didn't care for the first FL. She was too fluffy for me. Her doom and gloom facial expressions was what irked me the most. She did outshine in the last episode where she went off on one of her viewers. If they would've made her a bit more feisty throughout the series then maybe I would've liked her. The mother and son duo with her didn't mix either. It was awkward to say the least. The kid had better sense than the mom.

Other characters that was apart of the law firm was useless. The new male lawyer was annoying to say the least.

The mediocre cases that was presented made me wonder what was the point?

I did, though, like how they portrayed how children react to adult problems. Kids are more in tune with their surroundings more than you think. Those two little boys out did the adult actors!!

I also had a problem with how slow each episode was. Either I'm losing interest in things a lot faster with these dramas or they're that slow. By golly I found myself pausing each and every episode more than 5 times. Don't even get me started on the last episode...OMG!!! It was only 1:20 but it felt way longer than it should've been.

In my reviews I always capitalize on the last episode because that's suppose to bring in the closure of all the previous episodes but a lot of the times the last episode is redundant. This sort of was. By the end only a few just desserts was served. In my opinion I really wanted the new wife to get obliterated but nothing came to be and that made my blood boil.

I've been hitting a lot of Korean drama slumps lately! I don't care for a lot of rom-coms but that seems to be all that's left. I'm hoping Korea will bring some better dramas that aren't slow paced and don't have any romance in it...Otherwise I'll be going back to my old routine before I knew Korean dramas existed.
