JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Sacred, Divorced' ended with a touching happy ending, conveying support to everyone in life.

The viewership rating for the last episode of 'Sacred, Divorce', which aired on the 9th, recorded 10.5% (based on Nielsen Korea's paid households in the metropolitan area), exceeding double digits and achieving a meaningful result of its highest viewership rating.

In the final episode, the final lawsuit of Shin Seong (Cho Seung-woo), who revealed the truth about his dead sister's divorce and secured custody as his nephew's guardian, was depicted in a heart-warming manner.

Sin Shin stopped the divorce suit of Ma Geum-hee (played by Cha Hwa-yeon) and sought to secure custody from his biological father as guardian of his nephew Ki-yeong (played by Kim Jun-eui). He wanted to take his nephew Ki-young, who suffered from severe childhood depression due to indifference and wrong decisions, from the prison-like castle.

Shin Seong explained Ki-young's current unstable state using collected data and witnesses' testimonies, and among the claims was that Shin Ju-hwa (Gong Hyeon-ji), Ki-young's biological mother and Shin Seong's younger dead sister, was deprived of custody. in the past due to a history of psychiatric treatment. The issue of credibility was raised. However, it is not easy to prove that 'uncles can raise children better than biological parents.' Sinseong asserted that it is not a space of emotional stability, arguing that 'do parents raise their children so that they can grow up fully?'

This kind of persuasion little by little moved the heart of Seo Jeong-guk (Kim Tae-hyang), Ki-young's biological father. As a result, Seo Jeong-guk testified that he received Shin Ju-hwa's psychiatric information from her legal representative, Park Yoo-seok. Park Yoo-seok's claim that he did not know this was revealed as perjury. Seo Jeong-guk's confession of ultimately conscience granted custody to his uncle Shin Shin-guk. Ki-young woke up in the house of his uncle and guardian, Shin Seong, and the happy morning of Shin Seong, who lovingly took care of his nephew, shone with dazzling beauty.

While the first half of 'Shin Seong-han, Divorce' showed the unique history of Shin Seong-han, who suddenly became a lawyer from a pianist, and his competence as a lawyer, the second half ultimately revealed his ultimate goal of becoming a lawyer and unfolded the process of reaching it in a captivating way.

In particular, Shin Seong's difficult years of choosing a thorny path to find out the truth about his sister's divorce became a powerful driving force that made him watch the drama until the end, and the story of his young nephew withering away in indifference following his sister who wasted away in vain, made you unable to take your eyes off it until the last moment. made.

It also showed the colorful life stories of characters with their own stories and circumstances. Lee Seo-jin (played by Han Hye-jin), a radio DJ caught up in a video scandal, Jang Hyeong-geun (played by Kim Sung-gyun) who had to accept his estranged wife's pregnancy and divorce, and Jo Jeong- sik (played by Jeong Moon-seong), who lived with a sense of debt to his friend, endured times of passion and loneliness. The stories of those who endured it evoked a lot of sympathy.

At the same time, I was interested in the fact that it depicted an ordinary daily life that manages to survive each day even while carrying a heavy cross. Even though there is a headache in front of your eyes, when you are with comfortable people, things in the world are temporary, and the cheerfulness of making your worries go away with small and meaningless jokes, etc., made the viewers feel a sense of kinship with realistic scenes. In addition, it broke away from the existing framework of a legal drama in which there were only wins and losses, and added fresh fun as a human drama with the varied results of choices such as forgiveness and reconciliation, taking a step back, bitter wins and heartbreaking losses.

This includes Jo Seung-woo (playing Shin Seong-han), Han Hye-jin (playing Lee Seo-jin), Kim Seong-gyun (playing Jang Hyeong-geun), Jeong Moon-seong (playing Jo Jeong-sik), and the chemistry and passion of the cast who became one with the characters, from actors who appeared in the divorce episode to child actors. There was no point.

'Sacred, Divorce', which provided healing time with pleasant moments with warm people, raised the ending credits, leaving a lingering impression that the world they live in exists somewhere.
