Synopsis

Takako Mamiya is a lawyer who quits her job at a prestigious law firm, and establishes her own office. She confidently sets out to build her business, but soon her former firm is putting up obstacles and interfering, causing Takako's employees and clients to drift away. She finally puts together a new staff consisting of a college student who knows little about the law, a girl who applied for the job in hopes of meeting a rich guy, a hard-nosed lawyer, and a paralegal who hasn't passed the bar exam yet.

Takako reluctantly handles divorce cases with her incompetent crew. For an elite lawyer like her, divorce cases are the most boring and unrewarding cases that exist. Through clashing with her employees and clients, Takako soon becomes a very mature and tough lawyer.

"Divorce Lawyer" also tells the story of how difficult it is to judge love and relationships in legal terms.

Hiro Toyo · 2006

This drama takes a new direction from other more mainstream dramas. The pace is fast, but then it slows down at some key parts, and then picks up speed again. It was hard to accept at first, but by the 5th episode or so, I was hooked. I liked these cases that they had to go through, not to mention educational as well, with all the laws pertaining to marriage or relating to. The characters really builds on you, and there's a moral to every story, some obvious and some quite indirect.
This drama takes you into the world of attornies and what they have to do for their clients and some of the things people go to court for. It made my eyes open and reminds me how easy it is to have disputes and that's why the laws are so complicated and why we have so many laws for so many things.

Super Beautiful Female Cast and Superb Storyline!

This drama for me is the best Japanese drama that I have seen so far...The cast are very pretty especially Amami Yuki...I got hooked to this drama when I first saw it on tv...

Amami Yuki is very beautiful, can act well, and is very cute!

Mimura is also pretty...:-)

She should have been maintained as the secretary in part 2, the new secretary in part 2 is not as beautiful as her...

But I love this drama!
