What's the Story?

DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN (Cho Seung-woo) is a bold and eccentric pianist-turned-attorney. He only takes a case he knows he will win, and for every win, he colors in a grape on a grape bunch chart. After Shin is approached with a child custody battle by Lee Seo-jin (Hye-jin Han), Shin reckons with how the case hits a little too close to home and his past. What drove Shin away from his musical career, and what will happen when he colors in the final grape?

Our review:
Parents say ( 2 ):
Kids say : Not yet rated

This series ties drama, tragedy, and comedy into a perfect union. Divorce Attorney Shin will leave viewers on the edge of their seats one moment, laughing the next, and crying before the end of a scene. Cho Seung-woo puts the right amount of confidence and peculiarity into playing Shin, making the character more complex than he seems on the surface. Some of the subject matter can get intense and dark at times, and paired with strong language, this is more suitable for older viewers.
