I can't believe there aren't enough fans for this! Once I found out Ryu Soo Young and Han Eun Jung were going to be a part of this, I jumped on board! For some reason I find this drama a lot different than the rest probably because I'm still not sure who's gonna end up with who and what's gonna happen next. So far very addictive...Please keep the subs coming!

Biggest surprise for me aren't the two leads Ryu Soo Young and Lee Soo Kyung, but Lee Sung Jae who plays (Dae...lol) Han Min g**k and Han Eun Jung who plays his ex Ae Ri. They fit their characters perfectly! Love this drama!

I love this drama too. True the story isn't really going anywhere as far as the divoice is concerned, but I love Han Min (business guy) character. His character is the right combination of quirkiness and power. Also, how can you not love his driver. The driver is probably one of my favorite characters. It is also interesting because you DON'T know what couple to root for. Honestly, right now I would be happy with any pairing. This drama has some suprising funny moments. The fight in the parking lot (i'm laughing now just thinking about it), the short pants and blazer, and Han Min standing outside the office building telling people to pass. This is a good drama. More people should give it a chance.

Thanks for subbing and uploading this one. I am really enjoying this drama, despite the uncertainty and hazy beginning; the characters and story really do grow on you. The development of the characters and performance of the actors does become more enjoyable as you get into the drama. Next episodes seem very promising and i eagerly anticipate them.

I'm really enjoying this drama, my sister and I are split on who should be with who. I like Han min character but if I look at him from a woman aspect he a jerk. What he did to his wife was shameful and he would do it to the Lawyer Woo in due time. I really hate it when women think a man action is driving by a woman personality. A man action be it good or bad is due to his DNA and good Female role model. In time the love he feeling toward lawyer woo will fizzle and he will start fooling around on her also. If every man being faithful is driving by a Strong woman then we wouldn't have cheater.

I think it more to why Lawyer Byun left for the states but as I continue to watch this drama I really don't care what the reason. I don't want him with Lawyer Woo. I don't think she good enough, she instantly decided to be with her best friend man, know that her best friend is still in love with him, that too much. I wish the best for Han and Lawyer Woo because I like they storyline but it not going to last. Lawyer Woo keep demanding respect from Han Min, he don't know how to give it naturally.

I think Lawyer Byun and the ex wife would make a great couple but they lack chemistry together. Just my opinion on this great drama.

I sort of agree and disagree with you. I think both of the men in this drama are jerks. Lawyer Byun because he thinks he can just come back and everything will be ok and Han Min because he does know how to communicate with a woman. I disagree that Byun is too good for Woo. He is not that good. He is overbearing and conceited. He will not respect her wishes and he keeps pushing for them to be together. He hasn't really made an honest attempt to consider her feeling or all that she had to go through while he was gone. She was a secretary and almost lost her house because he left her in debt. Secondly, he doesn't respect the fact that she is a lawyer. He thought it was funny and that she would be easy to beat. How can a woman be with a man who doesn't respect her abilities?

Also, Ae Ri is not without fault. We just have not yet found out all the things she has done. Han Min said it himself that he felt loney in the marriage because she was only concerned about herself. As for her being Lawyer Woo's friend, I don't think she was. She didn't even tell her she was getting a divoice. I don't care about her not picking her to be her lawyer. I wouldn't have picked her either when 100 billion Won are on the line, but she hadn't spoken with Lawyer Woo since the wedding six years ago. It appears as if she only called her when she needed to hide out from the press or when they met at the school.

How can Lawyer Woo's head not be turned by Han Min? It is kinda cute they way he does things to get her attention. (I loved the shorts and the fan) He's had a crush on her since his wedding day. She is lonely. Her lover left her for six years and she has been slugging it out by herself without any real help from her family. Han Min does treat her with respect and he respects her ability as a lawyer. Sure they fight but that is just their dynamic.

Howver, my prediction is that everyone is going to go back to their original places. The lawyers will be together and the divoiced couple will get back together. Korean dramas love putting first loves back together. Although personnally, I could deal with any pairing.

Same thoughts. I really do agree with you here! Even I couldn't say it better.

Yes I'm really curious to find out what skeleton she has in her closet.

And I agree with you about "them being close friends" i either do think that they really were that close friends. More Lawyer Woo AR's slave she could command around and call when she needs her. And for Lawyer Woo, AR was/is someone she hang around because no-one else would hang around with her . (better to say she pittied her).
Even her (stupid)father said that he never liked her because she used to command his daughter around. And remember ep7 when AR asked her if they still could be friend, because she thought it was her who told the press about the Mother-in-Law prenup. Lawyer Woo for the first time told AR "When you like it, I'm your friend. When you don't, I'm a lawyer. I've told you before, to differentiate clearly whether I'm your friend or the opposing party's lawyer."
But I still do think that she should try to stay away from her "best-fiend's" Ex-Husband. I mean be or not that close friend Lawyer Woo at first considered her as her BEST-FRIEND. She should have shown some fighting against her feelings. (She didn't even try it). Sad

Yeah I loved the shorts and the fan thing too. hehe and their fights. At first I hated HMG because of his personality, but then I fell in love with his cute way. I love it how he puts money at first, and that he doesn't mince matters to tell people directly what he is thinking. and the way he lets Lawyer Woo to command him around is just cuuute. (even his mother said once that "He never does thing she told him to do, but He always does things that his lawyer tells him to do!!!(cute)

Yeah that is, what I am afraid of. I hope they will not put the first lovers back together. I think if you have parted once, you shouldn't start over again because the problemes you had at first, they still will be there (or come up again).
