Real Love Is Complicated

Must watch break from sickly sweet immature love stories that are so common in dramas. (Not bashing as I totally have a sweet tooth too!) This was a refreshing modern love story about finding value and meaning in partnerships. Centered around a family law office, each episode imparts a lesson on managing relationships. The main leads’ history, office family dynamics and episodic case studies align well for addictive pacing. Honestly wish this was a full 16 episodes to see more of the love backstory (like Our Beloved Summer) and added side character development. Think some of the negative reviews are due to the portrayal of divorcing clients however these somber character illustrations match well to highlight the main character growth and reconciliation opportunities. Anyone who has experienced a break up (not necessarily divorce) will be able to empathize with the characters complex intimacy and self reflection. Don’t worry about the naysayers and give it a go!
