Premiere Watch: Divorce Attorney Shin

Premiere Watch: Divorce Attorney Shin

Time slot: Saturday-Sunday
Broadcaster: JTBC
Genre: Legal, drama
Episode count: 12

Reasons to watch: As much as I love my youth dramas, it is always gratifying to have a drama that focuses on the more mature characters in their 40s that are usually relegated to bosses or parents or even baddies. Here, our heroes — all three of them — are a tight-knit crew of longtime pals. They’re led by our main character (Jo Seung-woo), a pianist turned divorce lawyer. Ignoring for a moment the prevalence of divorce attorneys in dramaland of late (is this a new sub-genre trend, or what?), it will be refreshing to get a story of friendship and life through the eyes of some fun ajusshis. Our screenwriter last brought us Thirty-Nine, so take that for what you will. For me, it means I’m hoping (as in *HOPING*) for a script that brings these ajusshis and their relationship to life, but has a plot that steers away from the overly sentimental. Hey, an ajumma can hope, right?

TL;DR: Cute ajusshi bromance, pianist-turned-lawyer, sacred divorce
