Ahjummai

The CEO seems to have had it against FL since the beginning like storming into the divorce team's floor when the divorce came out and even being at the courtroom and walking out. We still don't know much about him except that he's the CEO and father of Woo Jin.

not related to the story. they are narrator and audience of story - to further reiterate to the viewers that this nothing but make believe hahahaha that's cn censorship for you

lols they're also a couple in delightfully deceitful

Yuna is definitely getting attention with her performance on this drama! https://k-luv.leonparenzo.com/good-partner-child-actress-yuna-steals-the-show/

I appreciate how she's written. She's naive and clueless primarily as a rookie lawyer, but it's more than that because her ideals about family, marriage, divorce, and affairs makes her world view limited (especially her parents' messy divorce happened at a young age for her). Despite all the cases they've handled, she can't just change her world view in a snap of a finger. It's a slow realization that divorce lawyers can actually help people, not just help break families up.

There are plenty rookie characters in dramaland who don't have as solid a backstory as Han Yuri which often makes them hard to appreciate.

Sending virtual hugs to CEK... the law firm she dedicated 17 years of her life is trying to rug pull her and she's feeling inadequate as a mom ending with JH injured.

for a family thriller, it's serving

midway checkpoint

Every character is sus yet could also be innocent. The actors are doing a good job at being both. Except the detectives... they are just slow and seem incompetent at this point lol. I'm all questions and no answer hahaha let's see how this will progress.

The man thought he saw a head and called the cops, but only SY's things were found but no body (I'm thinking it was the wig only, not her whole head)

maybe you can find a viu premium code reseller for the country you're vpn-ing to. it's fairly cheap

More than how it talked about forgiveness, I liked it a lot because of how it talked about receiving an apology especially a real one.
Very true in situations where trust among family is broken. It's rare to receive an apology but be told to move on and past-is-past and forgive-and-forget. When you've felt wronged to the very core of your being, not getting that apology will leave a residue of bitterness that never fades. (worse if you're being gaslighted ugh, cheaters! smh)
Another point was how children blames themselves, not the parents. It doesn't make sense but it's easier to think as a child that I did something wrong than think my parents who I should look up to did something wrong.

To forgive is the right of the giver, and simply receiving an apology doesn't obligate a forgiveness.

I did not think I would be snotty crying while watching this drama. But one episode after another just really punches hard there be a horde of onion peeling ninjas beside me

Halfway mark drama checkpoint.

I know a lot of people turned away from this because of a cheating spouse plot. But if you're not totally repulsed just by the idea of that, then give this one a try.
In terms of the divorce cases, I like how they don't delve into breaking the marriage but it's about the family - the spouses and their children.
They are also able to tie up the divorce cases versus CEK's own divorce proceedings that both sides of the story progresses (we see HYR slowly coming to terms on being a divorce lawyer and the boys of Daejung Divorce team). It is able to talk about law while being very human in its treatment.
The actors are all delivering their roles really well especially Jang Nara.
By Ep8, you'll have some emotional attachment to the characters.

If there was one complaint, it's Yuri-EunHo game that's being set up but it's not landing for me.

No, they are not his accomplice. Remember that they told him that when it comes to their daughter's relationship, they want her to make the decision. So ML approached FL on his own.
I know the subs are horrid, but to not understand that means you weren't really watching

She's not a regular employee yet, so she doesn't get a bonus for her performance. That's why her first step KPI is to get regularized, then get x amount of deposits.

She was just a nice kid back in high school. He's the smart and popular one, so it's not unusual for her to know of his existence.

She was totes lying to her parents. It's funnier cos ML already approached FL's parents before and telling them everything, that's why their reaction was like that.

"she was the matured one" hehehe maybe that's why she never gave bad relationship advice to FL like almost every FL bestie in cdramaland

"he can't even let her pay for food without having an existential crisis." OMG you made me laugh with this line hahahaha

Yes, I don't think it would work out for both of them.

I get that Qi Yu sacrificed going to the city to be with her, but he is his father's son. You can see how traditional they think with who should be providing the money. That if he lets Weiyi spend her father's money, it would make him have a "matriarchal" family.

Weiyi also tried to live off her wage only. But to restrict herself from the things that she likes having been exposed to the finer things in life, it's also tiring for her. All that self-imposed restriction to not bruise Qi Yu's ego eventually implodes.

Unless Qi Yu meets her halfway when it comes to financial aspect, it won't work out. Let her spend her father's money as long as he's not the one dictating when and where she spends it. It's hers to do with and not his business. I think Weiyi understands that he can't give her that richy-rich life and she never asked him to.

In the end, it's hard to see things work out for them.
