Divorce Lawyer in Love (2015)

Drama sympa, accrocheur, porté de bout en bout par le CL !!

Bon drama, animé par des acteurs de talent.
Mix de romance et de cas juridiques de divorces (1 cas par épisode). Le fil directeur de cette série est l'histoire de la FL, avocate, puis sa licence est suspendue et elle doit travailler avec les gens qu'elle a auparavant maltraités.
On assiste alors à un joli hate-love avec le ML.

Quelques remarques quand même :
- certains passages sont "tirés par les cheveux" : la greffe de moelle osseuse se déroule avec un processus médicalement pas du tout crédible.
- le personnage du ML2 est très excessif.
- la haine de la mère, persistante, ne tient pas la route...
- l'actrice qui joue la FL2 est condamnée aux rôles d'amoureuse à sens unique persistante (je crois que je ne l'ai jamais vu obtenir "le gars" :)
- j'aime beaucoup la partie "organisation du mariage" qui est peu conventionnelle :)

MAIS :
Il y a de l'humour, de la romance avec des scènes très cute, la réalisation est dynamique et les OST sont sympas.

This will not be my usual drawn out review. I just know that this drama hasn't gotten much love and I actually think it's a much better romcom and drama than many more popular ones. The plot in particular being a nice cohesive whole that seemed to be pretty well-thought out from beginning to end was refreshing.

Aside from the plot being quite well put together, the last episode was extremely good by Kdrama standards (and if you watch a lot of Kdramas you know what I mean about their endings often being a trainwreck). And this also belies the plot being well-thought out.

I also liked the actors. I didn't see great chemistry between the leads but it was enough to find them a cute couple and individually I liked their characters a lot. In particular I liked (and was surprised by) a decision made by the female lead near the end that I really didn't expect, and how that decision bolstered the theme of the entire show. The theme and "lesson" of the show regarding the nature of marriage/romantic relationships. I'm not going to say what the theme was, but suffice it to say it was strung together throughout the whole drama in a nice way and they never deviated from it, which is why the plot feels so cohesive.

All in all, this was never "must watch" for me, but on the other hand, I really appreciate that it did some things right regarding theme and plot that so many dramas fail to do.
