Il divorzista

The acting is this is fantastic. The most subtle of facial expressions and long takes on the faces of the actors to give you a chance to watch how they're feeling inside. Cho Seung-woo is great - just what his reviews say. His two best friends are caring under sometimes heavy teasing. The one really villainous character is actually shown with some dips. And the vision of Korean society, the differences in similarities from ours, I found absolutely fascinating. The Divorce situations or deeply moving. Wonderful - friendships, great music, and a fantastic sense of humor. I loved the main actors and even the secondary ones were good.

Its a very easy watch, quite relaxing yet also packs quite a few emotional punches.

The story develops naturally and holds few twists. It is more about the emotional connections people have and create, than a thrilling legal show.

The friendship of the three leads brings both the comic relief as well as the safety for emotional breakdown. Its rare to have such a believable, healthy friendship in a series and thus definitely worth watching for that alone.

The premise of the show would have easily allowed for 16 episodes or more. The fact they stayed within 12, makes for a tightly written, fillerfree experience. Definitely recommend this!

This series draws you in gently and just as gently holds you captive; you not only find yourself involved with the characters, you truly feel for them, relate to them. The humor is easy; the drama real, not forced or melodramatic. I especially enjoyed the scenes at Grandma's Noodles. It is a little like the neighborhood bar where "everyone knows your name."

As I do not read or speak Korean, I had to rely on the subtitles, but it did not detract from the visuals or the story.

After researching the actors I was surprised to find that the main actor, Cho Seung Woo really does play the piano, and he sings, too. I will be looking forward to more of his works.

A real gem. It is short enough (12 episodes) and each character and case has a clear personality and story. This show has really good vibes and at times I really wish I was part of their team or I had the friendship of these 3 middle age single guys. Other characters emotional bonds are portrayed with good amount of complexity, heartwarming, painful; not just romance, but also parent-child, uncle-nephew, brother-sister, mother-in-law-bride.

The script is refreshingly mature and and I could say they tried to portray the fact that, in real life, divorces are not that simple. There are some great moments in the shows that I felt deeply for the characters. When I'm not laughing from the silly jokes, I cried a great deal for the traumatized.

It's sad that this show already had a finale. Hopefully we will see more of Attorney Shin in the future.

I'm so torn about this one. I really like the story and the main characters.

I also appreciate the show doesn't follow "the case of the week" format, but instead keeps bringing the characters together and build their relations in meaningful ways, telling a much larger "slice of life" story.

But I ABHOR all the open-mouth eating, slurping, belching and teeth-sucking going on in the "comedic" scenes. Is this really comedy watching a red-faced middle-aged man belch loudly over a bowl of noodles??? Or fart is his bed? Or remove his socks and put his bare feet on a table? Or pick his ears with a stick?

I have no idea why some Korean shows do this. Why do they keep bringing these disgusting habits to the screen?

I the end, the show behaves like my dog. Absolutely lovely one moment, beyond disgusting the next.
