Should have been better.
Wasted potential is a good way to describe this show. The show had great acting, well-done sets, and sound design. The story's premise was also promising, and the beginning had some impact. In the end it became just another drama nothing to write home about.
The two main settings caught my attention the evil mother-in-law and ex-husband's home is dark, and cold and has sharp objects reflecting their positioning in the story well. The Female lead's office was warm in color yet had strong and hard materials representing her position well. I always appreciate when set designers manage to do this kind of thing. The sound design was also great, and the actors all deserved a better script. The show had a lot of positives to talk about.
The story however missed the mark. The ex-family was involved in every case leaving no room for the title to breathe. It felt like a family feud the whole time, rather than a divorce expert jaded by her past relationship. The romance between the two leads was rather flat but necessary for the story I suppose. The in-show ad placement was fairly obvious almost like it was a cdrama which was something that bothered me for some reason.
Over all I would say the show was not bad, but likely to be disappointing to most people who watch it. I would not personally re-watch this on my own, however, if someone wanted me to watch with them I would not refuse. Mediocre would be my overall vote.
