Revenge is Not Sweet When Children/People Get Hurt
7 March 2024
Sorry, but didn't care for Queen of Divorce. The best thing about it IMO was the actor Oh Min Seok, who plays Noh Yul-seong, the CEO of Cha-Yul Law and was the ex-husband of the FL. Didn't like the script - never a fan when there are children involved and then the child gets used between parents., and didn't like the ending either.

Am I the only one that despite the bad things that Noh Yul-seong has done, feel a wee bit of empathy toward him? The fact that his mother was pulling all the puppet strings, controlled him like a cult leader and he followed her every order - even divorcing his first wife who was his love the FL when she was his child's mother and he actually did love her at that time at the order of his mother for business sake? And that, yes, he had an argument with the FL's mother but it was an accidental death not murder? I just liked his acting and didn't like much of anything else about this series.

Didn't like the fact that the FL never once took any level of moral culpability for any of the things that she has done. For example, remarry him just for revenge and to dig for information so get him arrested to get custody of her son. Tell him lies the whole time about how she will support him in his business as a wife, blah, blah, and he actually fell for it at first. Also no culpability for indirectly getting witnesses killed perhaps while doing all this revenge and stabbing her clients in the back (her client was the 2nd wife of the CEO whom she got Noh to divorce) only to remarry him. Revenge is not sweet when you hurt people along the way and just didn't like any of it. And then to dismiss the sanctity of marriage at the ending and suggest it should have a 5 year expiration date when you have a child involved?
