I ended up being pleasantly surprised with this drama. I especially loved Cha Tae Hyun. After really liking Cha Tae Hyun in Brainworks and now Police University, he’s become one of my most favorite actors.

The story itself was okay but most of the actors did a really good job. I hate to admit that once I figure out who the leader of the bad guys is I tend get impatient for him to be revealed.

Unfortunately the leading couple was boring; however, the male lead was more interesting with his mentor Professor/Detective Yoo. Their relationship was one of the highlights of the drama.

My favorite part throughout the show was the friendship and the loyalty between Seon Ho, Jun Uk and Beom Tae.; also Seon Ho’s adoptive father, Mr. Yoon. I cried when Seon Ho finally started calling him Dad. I know I’m sappy like that.

Waste of time

The first couple episodes were quite interesting. However, too many stupid plot devices were used to keep me remotely interested. The absolute dumbest plot device was Lee Ho Chul finds daughter he doesn’t try to leave as soon as possible. But nooo, we had to wait for the killers to show up.

One complaint was how the police chief was made to look so dense. He never listened to his lieutenant. Detectives Choo and Choi seemed to be the only ones trying to connect the dots. Unfortunately it took the attempted killing of Detective Choi to make them realize that Lee Ho Chul was not the killer.

I also didn’t understand why Lee Ho Chul thought he could handle it by himself when his wife was a detective.

Anyway like I said I kept watching because I was hoping after it went off the rails it would get back on track. . I should’ve known after the two bad guys kept swapping the daughter that it wasn’t going to get better.

Sadly it had so much potential.

Disappointed in the ending

When I watch a drama that starts out with greed to the point of destroying someone as sweet as Soon Young and his baby, I continued to watch because I want to see him get his payback. I was so thoroughly disappointed that even though Kang Chi Hwan ended up in prison he was forgiven by all.

Yoon YI Chang and Lee Soon Young dying such horrible deaths by that despicable Kang Cho Hwan just broke my heart. Plus his bio daughter had to hide who she was from this man. I get that she was sweet and forgiving but dang KCH didn’t get what he deserved.

However, I thoroughly enjoyed most of the supporting cast; especially Lee Hoon, Ahn Dong Yeob and one of my all time favorites, Park Chul Moon.

I won’t watch again, though.

I watched because of actor Cho Seung Woo

I resisted “Divorce Attorney Shin” because the titke didn’t exactly excite me. I figured it was one of those awful revenge type dramas.

However, I was pleasantly surprised with the humorous scenes between characters. I especially loved the friendship between Shin Sung Han, Jang Hyung Geun and Jo Jung Shik. They either had me laughing so hard that I was crying or I was crying because of the way they looked out for each other.

This is the 4th drama of Cho Seung Woo’s that I’ve watched. He just never disappoints me. Yet my favorite until this one was Stranger 1 and 2.

I always perk up when I see that Jung Moon Sung is starring in a drama. This is also the 4th drama of his that I’ve watched.

When I see that Park Yoo Seok is in a drama I always wonder what kind of awful person he’s going to portray. He never disappoints me as villain.

Also, the piano is my favorite instrument so I loved piano scenes.

Decoy 1 and 2

This drama was so intense and brutal that I didn’t want to miss a minute. I enjoyed trying to figure out who the puppeteers were that pulled the strings to make puppets out of people who ordinarily wouldn’t have crossed the line.

The con artist was so psychopathic and narcissistic and just made me cringe so many times. He got conned once and immediately figured out what he needed to do to become big time. I found myself laughing at him in the end while he was trying to escape. I liked the flashbacks of all the people he wronged while he was dying yet he still wouldn’t admit he had done anything wrong.

I would go from being sympathetic with the victims to be horrified at how callous the ones that only cared about greed and power.

This drama was so good I unfortunately finished watching it in two days. I enjoyed the whole cast.

Just wondering if smoking cigarettes is becoming a thing again? It’s such filthy habit.

Glad I watched until the end

When I first started watching Search: WWW I thoroughly enjoyed it. Towards the middle the romances that were developing were somewhat frustrating. However, once I let go of wanting the leads to stop with their angst and get together I was okay.

I loved the surprise ending. Seeing three strong career minded women able come out on top without compromising their integrity was a win win for me. The best payoff was getting back at the mother in law. It was difficult as I watched the daughter in law be treated as the MIL’s dog; and satisfying to also watch the dog bite its master.

I loved the friendship between the women.

I don’t know why I kept avoiding this drama because I was immediately hooked because of the three strong female leads. I loved how their friendship stayed at the forefront throughout the drama. Even the moms were strong and they had strong family support.

I also liked how the men in their lives let them be who they were and respected their friendship.

I’m not sure how to say this but even though one of their friends dies, it was still a feel good story.

I was glad that the bad parents didn’t get in the way of their relationships.

Great Job done by the cast

At first I was kinda disappointed in the ending but then by the next day I realized it was the only way. That’s how much the ending stuck with me. I kept asking myself if there couldn’t have been a better ending because Do Han cleared his father’s name but didn’t get to see his father free. However, I then realized he could never forgive himself for Yu Na’s death and this was the price he felt he had to pay.

I loved how Do Han’s brother, Gun Woo and Soo Ji reminisce about Do Han. Their first impression of him was mine and he slowly ended up being my favorite.

I may watch this one again just so I can watch Kim Young Kwang again.

Revenge at its best

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch this drama. Once I started I ended up binging this drama in two days and now I’m sorry it’s over.

I was intrigued as I watched Dong Eun methodically take down the bullies as she got them to all turn against each other. I felt no sympathy for any of them. Relished in the fact that the Mom and daughter ended up behind bars; and that Yeon Jin lost everything. No surprise that she went nuts because she was already nuts in high school.

The ending was perfection for me. I hate when the perpetrators get off easy.

I didn’t want it to end.

I enjoyed Five Enough so much I didn’t want it to end. What I liked the most was that their differences was all about family. I found it so refreshing that there was no angling for inheritance.

I found the merging of the three families so heartwarming. Sang Tae’s former in laws and their maid ended up being some of my favorite characters. They made me laugh so much.


I also just loved the pairing of Yeontae and Sangmin. At first I hoped that Taemin and Yeontae would get together until Sangmin showed up.


The most useless couple was the cheating couple. I fast forwarded through most of their scenes because the dialogue was always so selfishly stupid. How anyone would think that that guy was a catch is beside me. They were a waste of airspace.


I couldn’t wait for Sangmin and Yeontae to get together; loved how Mi Jeong won SangMin’s former in laws over; Min ho turned out to be the sweetest grandpa. In other words, I binged watched because it was like a good book that I couldn’t put down.


I will probably watch it again because it was such a feel good drama.

Really liked but frustrated at times

First took a look at the cast. When I saw that Lee Joon Gi, Ryu Soo Young and Chun Ho Jin were part of the cast I thought “how could this drama not be good”?

I was not disappointed. Frustrated at times; mainly because of how the law enforcement was portrayed. I kept thinking they can’t be so bumbling that Tae San was the one that actually brought the bad guys down. I kept thinking “dang he sure would’ve made an excellent detective” because he didn’t make a very good thug.

I went through love/hate emotions with Seung woo and Jae Kyung because they were letting their personal feelings get in the way. I understood Seung Woo because of how Tae San left In Hye to raise Sujin alone; plus In Hye didn’t reveal who TS was. Jae Kyung irked me because she kept messing up due to her need for revenge.

I kept wondering when I Chun Ho Jin was going to show up. There’s just something about his performances in any drama that I love. So again he was not disappointing m. When Han Chi gook realized that Mr. Kim was his son and that Il seok had kidnapped Mr. Kim I hoped that Chi Gook with his kind and tender ways would get through to him. Sure enough he did. Before that though, between Mr. Kim and Il Seok I didn’t know who I wanted punished the most.

The hardest part for me to get through was when Moon Il Seok’s went after Sujin. So seeing him in jail with his injuries I thought karma at its best.

I really like the actor Lee Joon Gi and again I loved his performance. This guy brought me to tears so many because his life seemed so tragic. This is the second drama of his where he played such a sweet, tender Dad. He would just make my heart melt.

Wonderful life? I

I resisted watching this drama mainly because it was 100 episodes. I have a tendency to get impatient if it drags on too much. I’m glad I watched.

If I hadn’t I would’ve never discovered the actor who portrays Jin Woo, Oh Min Suk. In my opinion he stole the show. So now I’m going to go back and watch Beautiful Now because of him.

I laughed and cried so much.

I knew early on that Seol Ah loved Jin Woo just by how she tended to packing his suitcase for his trip. If she hadn’t loved him she wouldn’t have rushed to the hospital after his accident; nor would she have stayed angry at Jin Woo for more than a year. There were signs she cared because she worried about him; she knew what he liked and didn’t like. Because of pain, anger and her horrible mother in law her love was overshadowed. I always wanted them to get back together and glad they did. I loved it when Tae Rang told her that only she didn’t know she was in love with Jin Woo. Tae Rang ended up being a good friend to her. However, I was pleased that Tae Rang and Jin Woo formed a bromance in the end. I was disappointed that I didn’t get to see more of there relationship before the accident.

The show did get a little slow at times to where I was starting to lose interest. Once Shi Wol was introduced I couldn’t get enough of his story. Lee Tae Sun’s portrayal of Shi Wol just broke my heart most times. A shame Hae Rang was Shi wol’s sister; otherwise I would’ve been okay if Cheong Ah and Shiwol had gotten together.

My other favorite character was Pa Rang. He was just too cute.
