Ultimately, the two can’t stand each other and Jung Woo leaves his job and ends up going to law school and also becomes a divorce attorney.

I love this drama .. simply because I adore Woo Jin from Marriage, Not Dating. He's so adult like in this one but I like :wub:

 

[fun]

So is it worth a shot? I was contemplating whether I should watch this or not. I have so many dramas on my plate right now and I don't feel like quitting half way (that's why my list of incomplete drama just keeps on growing). I need a drama that I won't stop half way. 
 
I enjoyed Marriage Not Dating too even though I didn't like Han Groo. 

 

[cecilia]

I think it's worth a shot ... They did not have a good start and so it'll be interesting to see how they'll reconcile especially when she's so head strong with her logic and he's like so strong but confuses at the same time (he's unusable to tame her at all lol)

 

[fun]

I just finish the first two episode. I am on the fence. 
 
Unfortunately these two nut racks are in the wrong profession LOL So Jung Woo should have became a marriage counselor and Go Cheok Hee should have been a private detective. 
 
But out of the two, GCH is a lot more professional. She may have crossed some boundaries and may look like she is out for only profit but she was earnest in her representation of her clients. She believed in her clients and she did what she needed to do help them (as a reminder, SJW is supposed to be a lawyer and it is a lawyer job). SJW on the other hand is a bigot who tells his women clients to bear the situations they are in because he did not want to destroy their lives and ignores the fact that their lives are already a mess because of their husbands? And he condescendingly told two grown women to go back and list what they like about their husbands, as if they don't have a right to leave unhappy situations. Then when she actually goes to help them get evidence, he acts like she is committing a crime. What's so wrong in looking for evidence? Isn't that what you're supposed to do as a lawyer?

I don't know why I started this one when I'm currently watching a gazillion dramas too lol. I must say that I am on the fence-ish too with Fun.

I want to like the characters but... Something is throwing me off.. So I can't enjoy them as much. I like the cast though, even though the one I know are the older veteran actors and Woo Jin lol. When I see Woo Jin, I'm reminded of the Japanese actor Daito Shunsuke

So far it's comical, but I might be annoyed of the main girl's character. She still acts like she's the boss when she clearly is not... Sure they switched roles now but it looked like nothing changed still. And there is still that misunderstanding from the two. Hopefully it'll get cleared soon, because I wouldn't want it to drag on.

I find the female more likable than the male lol Like I stated she may have a rugged personality but she knows her job. She may use the wrong method at times but at least she is helping her clients. What happens if one of the female client is really getting abused by her husband, is SJW gonna tell her to go home and write about all the things she used to love about her husband? I know in Korea you need a legit reason to divorce because it seems like irreconcilable differences is invalid to use against a divorce case.

 

[cecilia]

Come and watch this with me .. it's getting really good

 

[fun]

Episode 3 was good. A lot better than the first two episode. I don't know why people are hating on Cheok Hee. I don't like the actress or her acting but her character is not worthy to hate. I actually like her and it seems like our male lead is starting to understand her. 
 
But the subbing is so slow!!! Still waiting for episode 4 with English sub. 

 

[cecilia]

I agree .. I want sub too

 

[fun]

I check every hour since Sunday. I wonder why it is so slow. They usually have kdrama subbed at the end of the day.

 

[cecilia]

All the fans who did not like her boycotted it lol
 
I don't like how she's constantly with Chucky .. a bit weird lol

That's what I was thinking.. usually kdrama subs are fast.
 
 
I haven't watched the latest eps yet since I have a ton assignments to complete and are due!! ahhhhhh.
 
 
She has a lot of haters Ceci?  Anyways, I give her props for being able to film with Chucky.. <--- 555... ugghhhh. eek.

 

[fun]

People just don't like her character's attitude. That's all.
 
And I think it has something to do with her hair LOL let me specify... her bangs. They totally distracted me the entire time. Why do Korean like that kind of hairstyle? Wae wae wae!!!

 

[cecilia]

The bang bothers me too ... I like straight or edgy ends lol
 
I just dont' like chucky .. she's quite a psycho for carrying it and patting it like that.

 

[fun]

Chuckie doesnt bother me lol

Anyway don't tell me she was the one who saved him in the subway. It is just too obvious but anywho that will even out and make him less guilty when he turns down the other female who paid his college tuition.

 

[fun]

I think it is safe to say I am totally sucked into this drama. Sure the lead gal is not played by someone I like but the story so far is smooth sailing. 
 
I can't pick who I love more. Min Gyu or Jung Woo. Dilemma. But if Min Gyu does not act up, girl is saying bye bye. 
 
Episode spoiler: 
The kiss came sooner than I thought. But it was such a delight. So I think it is pretty obvious from here on out that the girl who saved Jung Woo is no other than Cheok Hee. And seems like in the next episode preview she will be his heroine once again. 

 

[cecilia]

I love today episode ... love Jung Woo <3 Seems like he remember her at the train station. 
 
BTW, the ost is GREAT too, especially love the ending song to today episode.

 

[x0unerthanlater]

Watched the first episode just now and I'm sort of hooked already. I feel bad for that man in the first case though. Poor guy was set up. Looking forward to watching the rest. - Her bangs are hideous. lol

 

[aikoden]

I find it hilarious how I started on this drama first but... I'm watching the mainland drama "Divorce Lawyers" instead LOL.
 
 
Will get back to this one soon.
