Episode 1
I love the first episode., There is so much promise in this drama. Hope it can deliver.
Anyway, Oh Hara is known in the business as the goddess of Litigation because she wins her divorce cases. She had become an expert from her own experience of getting a divorce.
She was married to Goo Eun Beum who she had been together for ten years but in the end, he had an affair and run off.
She was able to get alimony from him of 3Million won monthly, payable until she gets remarried
Goo Eun Beum was in a bit of a pickle. He can no longer afford to pay the alimony as he was in between jobs.
Being a divorce lawyer himself, in desperation, he tried to get a job at the very law office where Oh Hara works.
Oh Hara told her boss to choose, if Eun Beum gets hired, she’ll go. It was really a no-brainer who the CEO would choose as Oh Hara had continuously brought kudos to the company but at the same time, he thinks Eun Beum was too pitiable to just cast off.
It so happens that Oh Hara was dealing with a rather complicated case of a celebrity couple. The guy is a popular actor who married a young actress who also became popular having married him. The actor had a phobia of infidelity as his first wife had an affair and left him.
Now, he was so certain that his wife was also having an affair but he had no solid proof. He hired Oh Hara to represent him and get him a one-off compensation of 5Billion won.
Oh Hara promised but she was really in quandary about how to go about the case, especially since it came out that her client had sought help from a psychiatrist which had some connection to his pathological jealousy.
Eun Beum told Oh Hara that he has a solution but she had to agree to his condition that if she wins the case she will not stand in the way of his hiring by the company.
She promised and his suggestion worked and she won the case.
She was feeling elated and thought to herself that even if Eun Beum is working in the company, it would not really matter to her as she was over him. They would just be colleagues.
Bearing this in mind, when he surprised her with a dinner invitation, she accepted; telling herself that work colleagues go out to dinner all the time.
Oh Hara was startled when he ushered her to a restaurant known as a blind date venue. She became more stunned when he introduced her to her blind date.
Episode 2
Oh Hara ended up having a blind date with Min Jae Gyeom. She has no plan of seeing him again but she kept getting text messages from Min Jae Gyeom and when she told Kang Bi Chwi, her colleague, her convoluted blind date arranged by her ex-husband, Kang Bi Chwi was intrigued and asked if Jae Gyeom was presentable and good looking.
Oh Hara showed Bi Chwi a photo of Jae Gyeom. Bi Chwi was impressed and told Oh Hara to date him and sleep with him. The best revenge on her ex is to tell him that the blind date work and Jae Gyeom was better in the sack than Eun Beum.
Oh Hara was liking the narrative so she went out again with Jae Gyeom and told him that if he wanted, she could sleep with him. Jae Gyeom turned down her offer. Oh Hara went on another date with him and tried to kiss him but he wouldn’t. She likes him and started to go on serious dates with him. Then he kissed her and she was liking it because he is a good kisser.
But still she is curious about her ex-husband especially when the girl he ran off with seemed to be everywhere.
Their case for this episode is about a couple on point of divorce. The husband had sexual dysfunction and had not ‘sleep’ with his wife for four years. She wanted to divorce him but he would not because he loves her. It turned out that he was taking medication for hair loss which has a side effect on his ability to perform. LOL. They did not divorce in the end after having a good old communication.
Love this drama.

Episode 8
Kang Bi Chwi told Oh Ha Ra a foolproof way to get over Goo Eun Beom. Oh Hara had to confess her feelings to Eum Beom ten times. After ten times that he rebuffed her, Oh Hara should be over him.
So Oh Hara carried out his plan. She told Eum Beom that she still likes him. He told her no chance, but she persisted and even told him that she was going to confess to him 10 times and then that was it.
On the tenth time, Oh Hara was expecting another no-can-do answer but Eun Beom shocked her with he was willing to try again with her.
