I ended up being pleasantly surprised with this drama. I especially loved Cha Tae Hyun. After really liking Cha Tae Hyun in Brainworks and now Police University, he’s become one of my most favorite actors.

The story itself was okay but most of the actors did a really good job. I hate to admit that once I figure out who the leader of the bad guys is I tend get impatient for him to be revealed.

Unfortunately the leading couple was boring; however, the male lead was more interesting with his mentor Professor/Detective Yoo. Their relationship was one of the highlights of the drama.

My favorite part throughout the show was the friendship and the loyalty between Seon Ho, Jun Uk and Beom Tae.; also Seon Ho’s adoptive father, Mr. Yoon. I cried when Seon Ho finally started calling him Dad. I know I’m sappy like that.

Waste of time

The first couple episodes were quite interesting. However, too many stupid plot devices were used to keep me remotely interested. The absolute dumbest plot device was Lee Ho Chul finds daughter he doesn’t try to leave as soon as possible. But nooo, we had to wait for the killers to show up.

One complaint was how the police chief was made to look so dense. He never listened to his lieutenant. Detectives Choo and Choi seemed to be the only ones trying to connect the dots. Unfortunately it took the attempted killing of Detective Choi to make them realize that Lee Ho Chul was not the killer.

I also didn’t understand why Lee Ho Chul thought he could handle it by himself when his wife was a detective.

Anyway like I said I kept watching because I was hoping after it went off the rails it would get back on track. . I should’ve known after the two bad guys kept swapping the daughter that it wasn’t going to get better.

Sadly it had so much potential.

Disappointed in the ending

When I watch a drama that starts out with greed to the point of destroying someone as sweet as Soon Young and his baby, I continued to watch because I want to see him get his payback. I was so thoroughly disappointed that even though Kang Chi Hwan ended up in prison he was forgiven by all.

Yoon YI Chang and Lee Soon Young dying such horrible deaths by that despicable Kang Cho Hwan just broke my heart. Plus his bio daughter had to hide who she was from this man. I get that she was sweet and forgiving but dang KCH didn’t get what he deserved.

However, I thoroughly enjoyed most of the supporting cast; especially Lee Hoon, Ahn Dong Yeob and one of my all time favorites, Park Chul Moon.

I won’t watch again, though.

I enjoyed Season 1 much more than Season 2.

I found myself FFing through the FL villain’s scenes. I get that she wanted revenge against all of them but I didn’t get why she killed the Chairman. He should’ve stayed alive at least to watch his company get ruined. I didn’t care for the FL actress in another drama and I cared for her even less in this drama.

Spoiled rich kids fighting over daddy’s I’ll begotten money and power is a bore.

I kept checking the cast and crew during the first couple episodes because Lawyer Joe seemed like a completely different person. I finally warmed up to him and his new team.

I watched because of actor Cho Seung Woo

I resisted “Divorce Attorney Shin” because the titke didn’t exactly excite me. I figured it was one of those awful revenge type dramas.

However, I was pleasantly surprised with the humorous scenes between characters. I especially loved the friendship between Shin Sung Han, Jang Hyung Geun and Jo Jung Shik. They either had me laughing so hard that I was crying or I was crying because of the way they looked out for each other.

This is the 4th drama of Cho Seung Woo’s that I’ve watched. He just never disappoints me. Yet my favorite until this one was Stranger 1 and 2.

I always perk up when I see that Jung Moon Sung is starring in a drama. This is also the 4th drama of his that I’ve watched.

When I see that Park Yoo Seok is in a drama I always wonder what kind of awful person he’s going to portray. He never disappoints me as villain.

Also, the piano is my favorite instrument so I loved piano scenes.

Decoy 1 and 2

This drama was so intense and brutal that I didn’t want to miss a minute. I enjoyed trying to figure out who the puppeteers were that pulled the strings to make puppets out of people who ordinarily wouldn’t have crossed the line.

The con artist was so psychopathic and narcissistic and just made me cringe so many times. He got conned once and immediately figured out what he needed to do to become big time. I found myself laughing at him in the end while he was trying to escape. I liked the flashbacks of all the people he wronged while he was dying yet he still wouldn’t admit he had done anything wrong.

I would go from being sympathetic with the victims to be horrified at how callous the ones that only cared about greed and power.

This drama was so good I unfortunately finished watching it in two days. I enjoyed the whole cast.

Just wondering if smoking cigarettes is becoming a thing again? It’s such filthy habit.

Not Sure Why - Follow up

I’m not sure why I am watching this drama. Same lines get repeated over and over again. No surprise that the evil father and evil daughter are alike; and the grandmother is just as bad. Only person worth anything is the son.

I’m FFing through most of it. All I can say is this is about 50 episodes too many. There’s definitely no intrigue. Even some of the people I should be rooting for are a pain to deal with.

Too many obvious predictable scenes where you know the evil people keep being evil and not get caught. Does the evil daughter ever work? All I ever see her doing is lurking and eavesdropping. Why would the good people be so stupid as to discuss their plans where anyone can hear them.

Again not sure why I’m watching.

Episodes from about 40 - 70 were so unnecessary. For me the payback finally picks up about episode 70. I was relieved that the bad guys did get punished for their evil behavior.

I kept going back and forth about who I wanted with Ba Ram. In the end she ended up with the guy who loved and protected her from day one. It was as if they sensed that they weren’t siblings.

The one thing I hate and always ff through these scenes is the lengths a person is willing to go through for the person they think they’re in love with.

Glad I watched until the end

When I first started watching Search: WWW I thoroughly enjoyed it. Towards the middle the romances that were developing were somewhat frustrating. However, once I let go of wanting the leads to stop with their angst and get together I was okay.

I loved the surprise ending. Seeing three strong career minded women able come out on top without compromising their integrity was a win win for me. The best payoff was getting back at the mother in law. It was difficult as I watched the daughter in law be treated as the MIL’s dog; and satisfying to also watch the dog bite its master.

Glad it was 4 episodes

After about half way through the second episode I thought “it’s a good thing it’s only 4 episodes” because I almost stopped watching.

In saying that I can see how hopeless life must felt to this poor kid ever since her Dad died.

I liked how the writers were able to portray how a little bit of kindness can go a long way. I’m glad the ending was so heartwarming.

I was so impressed with Kim Hwan Hee’s performance as Lee So Hyun. The emotions going from indifference to others plight, her anger towards her mother to being kind and thoughtful to Cho Yoon Ho’s grandmother was compelling. She had me in tears on several occasions as well as making me dislike her when she thought it was okay to use these people.

I loved the friendship between the women.

I don’t know why I kept avoiding this drama because I was immediately hooked because of the three strong female leads. I loved how their friendship stayed at the forefront throughout the drama. Even the moms were strong and they had strong family support.

I also liked how the men in their lives let them be who they were and respected their friendship.

I’m not sure how to say this but even though one of their friends dies, it was still a feel good story.

I was glad that the bad parents didn’t get in the way of their relationships.

Great Job done by the cast

At first I was kinda disappointed in the ending but then by the next day I realized it was the only way. That’s how much the ending stuck with me. I kept asking myself if there couldn’t have been a better ending because Do Han cleared his father’s name but didn’t get to see his father free. However, I then realized he could never forgive himself for Yu Na’s death and this was the price he felt he had to pay.

I loved how Do Han’s brother, Gun Woo and Soo Ji reminisce about Do Han. Their first impression of him was mine and he slowly ended up being my favorite.

I may watch this one again just so I can watch Kim Young Kwang again.

Revenge at its best

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch this drama. Once I started I ended up binging this drama in two days and now I’m sorry it’s over.

I was intrigued as I watched Dong Eun methodically take down the bullies as she got them to all turn against each other. I felt no sympathy for any of them. Relished in the fact that the Mom and daughter ended up behind bars; and that Yeon Jin lost everything. No surprise that she went nuts because she was already nuts in high school.

The ending was perfection for me. I hate when the perpetrators get off easy.

I didn’t want it to end.

I enjoyed Five Enough so much I didn’t want it to end. What I liked the most was that their differences was all about family. I found it so refreshing that there was no angling for inheritance.

I found the merging of the three families so heartwarming. Sang Tae’s former in laws and their maid ended up being some of my favorite characters. They made me laugh so much.


I also just loved the pairing of Yeontae and Sangmin. At first I hoped that Taemin and Yeontae would get together until Sangmin showed up.


The most useless couple was the cheating couple. I fast forwarded through most of their scenes because the dialogue was always so selfishly stupid. How anyone would think that that guy was a catch is beside me. They were a waste of airspace.


I couldn’t wait for Sangmin and Yeontae to get together; loved how Mi Jeong won SangMin’s former in laws over; Min ho turned out to be the sweetest grandpa. In other words, I binged watched because it was like a good book that I couldn’t put down.


I will probably watch it again because it was such a feel good drama.
