This series will give you good vibes for sure. Its a courtroom drama but not so much drama with just the right comedy. Like the title says, its all about divorce cases. It has its usual korean cliches but quite bearable. What I liked the most is the friendship of these three middle-aged men. Attorney Shin is my absolute favorite uncle, in fact I would love them 3 to be my uncles. They're so cool when all together and even individually. I'm on episode 6 so I'm hoping it doesn't go downhill like a lot of kseries. Similar to Attorney Woo, this is quite entertaining and doesn't give you depressing vibes.
I am almost done watching the entire season and I'm just glad I gave it a shot. Without giving too much away the first main story we can all really relate too. A personal video leaking on the internet. However the consequences of that can literally break someone's life forever. That's where Attorney shin comes in try to save the day. The comedy in this show is off the charts too and the way it's really balanced from such a serious tone to full on comedy but it really works. It's also a show I made my parents watch because besides being a really good show. It doesn't have really explicit scenes that a person would not be comfortable watching with the family. So you want really intriguing real life story and some very funny comedy aswell, LOOK NO FURTHER!

This show is worth to watch. And i think it's too underrated that's why I purposely create account in here to recommend this show.
Love the bromance and the friendship between them. It makes me laugh so hard.
Mostly kdrama will have down hill part in the middle of the show which I didn't find from this show.
Hope netflix will have more of this kind of great show like this. A show doesn't need to spend a huge investment but with the right script and the right story everyone will enjoy it.
Watch it and you'll know and I'm sure you won't regret it. I also will recommend this show to my mum as she also love kdrama.

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!

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.

First of all Han hye Jin is absolutely gorgeous. If I was 40 again I would go to Korea, marry her and give up my American citizenship. All kidding aside , another great well written series. All the actors are wonderful in their roles and it's nice to know there are slimey attys and good ones even in Korea. As always in K-dramas the on scene locations show the beauty of this country. The court room scenes are similar to the USA nonsense but it's nice to see people dressed accordingly. I find it amazing how drinking booze over there is commonplace and the national drink is SoJu. Watching these dramas and checking out on line the cultural differences helps to understand their dating practices and the phrases they use as we are more to the point. Good series.

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.

For some reason, this series is really satisfying me, attorney shin and his ways and friends have really grown on me. He rocks the piano, and his karaoke sessions with trot music and friends have definitely brought me some delight. His pension for defending underdogs (aka women) in divorces is satisfying as he does take the side of the oppressed. I wish I could eat at the Ramen restaurant that they always go to. I love the male friendships that intertwine the story. The use of music and the storyline is refreshing. Overall I have found the series enjoyable.
The unexpected turns of his hiring practices add to the story. He is a unique character and well enacted.

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.

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.
