lestari Mar 16 2023 2:06 am I don't know what to say about the ending, because I didn't expect that the ending would be too unexpected, I mean yeah, the title is strangers again, and it really happens again to the main lead couple. like I expect they are going to be together again. hahaha but its a nice drama though

Rosemary Mar 14 2023 9:31 pm Too realistic. Would have preferred a romantic ending. After all, it's supposed to entertain!

Crazyformusic101 Mar 10 2023 11:59 am To be honest I don't really get the hate this drama is getting cause i absolutely loved it....even the ending..it's unfinished but i don't think forcing them to get together when it's clear they both need to work on themselves to fully commit to eachother...the open ending seems perfect especially when it's clearly shown that Hara doesn't want to date anyone cause she will never get over Eun Beom and Eun Beom working on his trauma and himself to be the person Hara needs.

I really recommend this drama for people who want to watch something more than a normal Rom-com.

DA Mar 09 2023 12:59 am I really like the plot and the character development. Well done to the main actors for portraying the characters so well with their micro expressions, gestures, intonations, etc. The complexities of many relationships are also being discussed in the episodes (parent-adult children relationships, ex-es, co-workers, etc.). In my opinion, the writer did a very good job in writing the script to make it quite realistic, succinct, without dragging it for too long. The open ending may be a disappointment to some, but I think it's interesting because it allows us to think that there may be something more in their future. After all, relationships are always dynamic and we never know what the future holds, right?

Marjan Mar 08 2023 11:10 am Wait Are they really done with the show???? How????

bella Mar 02 2023 9:14 pm great storyline, very unique and never seen in other kdramas about getting back with your ex spouse.. but like everyone else the ending was really weird... it's like they cut off 2 episodes and ended it there???? I thought there were more episodes after I saw ep 12 but theres only 12 ep...

fabulous acting. would be 100 minus the ending so i gave 90

Lia Mar 01 2023 9:39 am Angry with the ending just like the tittle?

hana Feb 25 2023 9:48 am actually good drama to watch~ but the ending is hmmm idk to explain but well both Jang Seungjo & Kang Sora acting were all good~ also all the supporting casts

Joshuarenealvarez Feb 25 2023 6:55 am Strangers Again is one of the best K-dramas of 2023. This series doesn’t deserve anything less a 9/10 rating, in my opinion. The ending was beautiful, emotional and realistic and I have nothing but respect for the writer.

Onyip Feb 23 2023 5:51 pm Wish for season 2

Marilyn Feb 23 2023 3:12 pm After watching the ending of this series! I am very disappointed of the ending. It started fine, boring at times and a terrible and disappointing ending. From a scale from 1 (lower) 10 (higher), I will give it a 3. Writer 1

starlight Feb 23 2023 2:57 pm Really????

sha Feb 19 2023 4:23 am last week with my fav ongoing kdrama :((((

saram Feb 18 2023 11:09 pm jang seungjo and kang sora chemistry is chemistrying!!!!

. Feb 18 2023 10:49 pm the different cases every episode are so entertaining to watch... point plus!

nn Feb 18 2023 10:28 pm i love this series, hope for the best for the main couple

Nabi Feb 18 2023 1:33 pm I’m with Nom I’m not part of the people rooting for this annoying drama. It’s not worth watching.

Nom Feb 17 2023 1:16 pm I’m not rooting for them at all. They’re not meant to be.

SA? Feb 17 2023 6:13 am It will be a happy ending or Sad?

myung Feb 11 2023 10:44 am i like the plot. but i keep skipping some scene on episode 1 to 6. but this drama get hella better on episode 7. and now i cant wait for next episode

seina Feb 11 2023 8:11 am this drama is exceptionally Good, I do enjoy the story also both the leads actors are good!!

Ned Feb 10 2023 2:20 pm This drama had a potential in the beginning. It still has, but i literally cannot root for the main leads to be back together. The ML is too wimpy and the FL is insufferable. Even the second leads were hopeless and bland. I'm on episode 8, too late to turn back now. Will just keep watching for kang so ra eventhough her character arc had no development since the day she got divorced.

natheerin Feb 10 2023 8:26 am Started watching this series mainly because I am a fan of both ML and FL. Also got hooked by the trailer I've seen in FB, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, love the mature storyline and the intertwine of legal proceedings. Will definitely watch this til the end!

Lael Feb 07 2023 11:47 am Even with both of the couple's flaw, I can't help but still root for them. The leads have amazing chemistry. Obviously, those two still love each other. They just need to communicate. In the end, it's a question of how much they could compromise to still be together and how the ML could overcome his trauma.

I dont like the second ML. He's condescending. Lol.

Gj Feb 04 2023 2:04 pm I'll drop this one if the leads want to get back together.

Joshuarenealvarez Feb 04 2023 12:18 pm Strangers Again is becoming one of the best K-dramas of 2023. This is a very mature series about the perspectives of both parties within relationships and marriage.

sf Feb 01 2023 9:47 am @Jeremi He didn't use her. It was an agreement between them. How do you think if what you claim was true, she would have asked him to be her lawyer?

shanks Jan 29 2023 12:49 pm This is quite nice. Both leads have flaws that make them great characters. I can see why ML wanted a divorce and they wouldn't have had a happy marriage.

I'm hoping that in the end they both find a better life and don't get back together...

Omoblaqee Jan 29 2023 11:23 am IMO marriage is supposed to be joint efforts of the couple. No matter how accommodating one of them is of the other person’s character it will get tiring somewhere along the line. The ML is always giving in, the FL should as well… he knows the kind of work that will come out when they have a child and he sure doesn’t want to quarrel with his wife.

I don’t think he’s actually going to be dasol‘s dad.

Jeremi Jan 28 2023 10:39 pm I cant help but hate the male lead. He use another woman just to have a divorce? I hope Oh Hara will make Eun beum suffer more than he is now

11100 Jan 28 2023 9:52 am His reason of divorced was he doesn't suit to be married and when hara bring up the child, That's his end game. But if he accepted someone else's child and be a family of them, his so hypocrite.

Millie Jan 28 2023 6:24 am I wonder who was the other child that had the same age as the kid of soo hee, looks like there is something about it. Cant wait for the next episodes

mint Jan 27 2023 12:18 pm Both ML and FL are insufferable, I literally cannot root for them ? I think I'm gonna drop this

susu Jan 27 2023 3:24 am Enjoyed this series. Hopefully Oh Ha Ra will move on. It seems that Eun Beom has no feeling left for her. And yes, I hope Eun Beom regret his decision divorcing her without trying to discuss and communicate.

sf Jan 27 2023 3:14 am @allergictoannoyingpeople Didn't you see episode 4? Her husband was allergic as well to annoying people.

sanshi Jan 27 2023 12:02 am have to say..it's really good. After ep 4 , I can't blame either Eun Beom or Oh Hara. If he was really feeling like he had no autonomy, he should have discussed and communicated that to her. But even Hara is in the blame as she didn't give him such an environment where he can openly discuss his problems. They both lacked communication in the relationship and I am unsure why this seems to be the case for a ten year relationship. It's realistic. His reason for wanting a divorce but also somewhat of a preventable circumstance. It seems the show will focus more on the importance of communication in a relationship. Looking forward to the following episodes!

allergictoannoyingpeople Jan 26 2023 11:43 pm @sf Theres nothing wrong with her behavior. We never saw her life before the divorce. How she is acting is perfectly normal for someone who has to work with her cheating ex. What do you want her to do? Be completely chill abt it or happily greet him. Its obvious you're talking out of your butthole. Besides, he dated her for 10 years before marrying her. If he didnt like a boss, he should have let go of her.

Baby Jan 26 2023 7:44 pm I finally got something interesting to watch... woohooo... For me, the first episode was great : the story line, the casts, the comedy... Just hope that everything will go in the right way till the end..

sf Jan 26 2023 12:16 pm Eun-Beom was sick of his ex-wife after seven years. I'm sick of her after only four episodes. A woman who wants to be the boss, even at home, becomes annoying to her partner. Not to mention her friend. Annoying as hell.

merry goh Jan 23 2023 11:47 pm Mu Jinsung is here as a 2nd lead or just supporting actor/cameo ??? He did well on his acting at perhaps love that lead him win Best New Actor at Daejong/Grand Bell Film Awards. I wish here he did as 2nd lead for Oh Hara, he's very good actor

seina Jan 23 2023 9:54 pm storyline is very good, Jang seungjo & Kang sora chemistry also beyond excellent!

btw as a new channel, ENA producing good quality dramas, I have try to watch some of them and it's very good!! My favourite is Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Gaus Electronic, Unlock My Boss, Summer Strike, and now Strangers Again

Millie Jan 22 2023 3:14 am I love jang seung jo that literally loved all his works especially detective 1 and 2. This one is quite refreshing because he’s a bit ligther than the others. Hoping to see more romcom for this handsome boy ?❤️❤️❤️ btw the drama looks promising ?

Jjang!! Jan 20 2023 11:08 pm Decent first week but their chemistry is beyond excellent..

Can't wait to see what made them divorcing because I believe there is no cheating involved.. it's 100% misunderstanding I'm sure

Sui Jan 20 2023 9:16 am The chemistry between them just so insane ??? Jang seung jo so handsome ? Kang so ra so pretty ???? The visual go crazy ??

Blooms Jan 20 2023 8:51 am wow first case : reuni casting of Priest drama from OCN

Jo Jan 20 2023 12:57 am The song at the end of episode 2? Title please.

Eunice Jan 19 2023 5:22 pm @Nass, exactly what I'm going with. There must be some misunderstanding, I refuse to believe that the writers will make Oh ha-ra get back together with a cheating husband

Nass Jan 19 2023 7:26 am @ozeezs I don't think he really cheated on her.. there must be a misunderstanding!!

Apple Jan 18 2023 5:11 pm I think I'm going to like this one!! Lol

Ozeezs Jan 18 2023 1:20 pm literally wtf?? It's about cheater and people making female lead to get with cheater? That's so stupid. Prolly directed by males. I was really hoping ugh

ren Jan 17 2023 11:06 pm i’m so ready for this drama!!

withjoyfulsenescence Jan 16 2023 8:47 am Waiting for this too! Can't wait to see their chemistry. Love Kang Sora! :)

Phoenix Jan 02 2023 3:46 pm I love Kang sora will watch for her

Kahi Dec 30 2022 9:59 pm I don't care what other dumb people say, I will watch this. So excited

Lalala Dec 28 2022 7:24 am I wonder why do they care about the age gap, 9 years isn't that big tho.. plus jang seung jo's face literally looks 15 years younger than his actual age

Rosemary Dec 23 2022 6:23 am I love the two leads! I can't wait! I am so excited!

April Dec 05 2022 2:22 pm Actor Jang Seung-Jo is so handsome. And this is Sora's comeback after giving birth! So excited for this, its like Emergency Couple but in court. The other comment was sad cause there's a nine year age gap, I mean, is that even an issue? I just don't get that.

Aremaq Dec 04 2022 2:28 pm Cannot wait is yes

Peter M Nov 30 2022 10:38 pm Both leads are extremely good performers. I particularly enjoyed Seung-Jo's performance in the series 'The Good Detective' and So-Ra's in 'Warm and Cozy'. Sadly, this is another Korean drama with a large age gap between a romantic couple.

Shairli Nov 28 2022 10:31 am Love both! Looking forward.... January come fast!

Withjoyfulsenescence Nov 27 2022 9:51 am Kang Sora’s return and with Jang Seung Jo. They look so charming together. I will be waiting for this! I hope it’s also on Prime/Netflix ENA! :)

Jill Nov 22 2022 9:11 pm Always tend to like Law themed Korean dramas. Love Kang Sora. She's always feisty. :)

Nourel Nov 18 2022 4:39 pm Look insterested...can't wait Seung Jo ya <3
