Divorce Attorney Shin (serial)

A 12 episode K-Drama centered around Shin and his two friends (Jang and Jo). Shin is a former international piano professor/performer who gave up music to become a lawyer when his sister was divorced and then killed in an accident. He thought the circumstances suspect at best. In the process, he becomes a divorce attorney to gain expertise in the field and understand what happened. The series takes on a case every 2-3 episodes and is quite heady in addressing the seriousness and difficulty of divorce, abuse, custody, etc. So in that realm, this is a heavy load. But the three guys are outstanding as a trio. They are late 30-something and yet, in many ways, still interacting as teenage boys. At the same time, they have a depth of relationship that takes years to develop. I love this relationship and how it is portrayed in the silliness and the emotional depth of their lives. A fabulous series.  

5 stars (out of 5)
