Well there are shows like 'While You Were Sleeping' and 'Mad Dog' that manage the perfect combination of comedy, drama, suspense, action and romance and then there is Queen of Divorce... They could have done so much with the concept, but they decided to go over-the-top in the most nonsensical way. The villains really were the most interesting to watch. Also, with all the cases that Solutions took up, children were always at the center. I get the heroine's personal trauma being the driving factor, but did they have to make it so obvious in every single stance? The one with the influencer wife was literally the only exception.
The leads also lacked chemistry. I really admire them as actors, but they didn't have any spark. All in all, you can go for it if there isn't anything fun on your to watch list.

Sorry, but didn't care for Queen of Divorce. The best thing about it IMO was the actor Oh Min Seok, who plays Noh Yul-seong, the CEO of Cha-Yul Law and was the ex-husband of the FL. Didn't like the script - never a fan when there are children involved and then the child gets used between parents., and didn't like the ending either.
Am I the only one that despite the bad things that Noh Yul-seong has done, feel a wee bit of empathy toward him? The fact that his mother was pulling all the puppet strings, controlled him like a cult leader and he followed her every order - even divorcing his first wife who was his love the FL when she was his child's mother and he actually did love her at that time at the order of his mother for business sake? And that, yes, he had an argument with the FL's mother but it was an accidental death not murder? I just liked his acting and didn't like much of anything else about this series.
Didn't like the fact that the FL never once took any level of moral culpability for any of the things that she has done. For example, remarry him just for revenge and to dig for information so get him arrested to get custody of her son. Tell him lies the whole time about how she will support him in his business as a wife, blah, blah, and he actually fell for it at first. Also no culpability for indirectly getting witnesses killed perhaps while doing all this revenge and stabbing her clients in the back (her client was the 2nd wife of the CEO whom she got Noh to divorce) only to remarry him. Revenge is not sweet when you hurt people along the way and just didn't like any of it. And then to dismiss the sanctity of marriage at the ending and suggest it should have a 5 year expiration date when you have a child involved?

Korean Drama '' Queen of Divorce '' is a dramatic law comedy.
The drama, first of all, focuses mostly on the female lead's story and her efforts to redeem herself and bring those who hurt her to justice. Therefore, there weren't a lot, or even any, legal cases other than the main one, which was a letdown, as the main lead was supposed to be the queen of divorce, even though she couldn't be a lawyer.
The romance, in addition, felt forced and it was boring, especially since they were trying to base it on a past that the viewer had never watched.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable.
So, overall, three out of ten.
