Premiere Watch: Strangers Again

Time slot: Wednesday-Thursday
Broadcaster: ENA
Genre: Rom-com, legal
Episode count: 12

Reasons to watch: This drama not only brought Kang So-ra back to dramaland after a five-year absence, but also puts Jang Seung-jo in the leading man spotlight, so *YAY*! He stole my attention in Chocolate, was the only interesting thing in Boyfriend, and I’ve been waiting for him to be in a drama just like this. Indeed, dramaland has been inordinately kind of late, giving us a lot of romances from interesting angles (viz. Trolley, Crash Course in Romance). Now, a bickering divorced couple with unaddressed baggage — who also happen to be divorce attorneys — is up next. Give me madcap hijinks. Give me secret gazes. Give me romance!

TL;DR: Jang Seung-jo and Kang So-ra are a divorced couple with a lot of unaddressed issues

He already has the saddest eyes in dramaland, so I can't even imagine the longing looks! Very excited for this.

He was also great in "Snowdrop." His character had a bromance (given a lot of attention) and a romance (given very little attention) and he was fun to watch in both. Can't wait to see him as a lead. I'm also hoping this has the energy that "May it Please the Court" had in the beginning but then dropped in favor of a darker murder subplot.

2023 is the year of Male-Lead roles for 'perpetual second lead actors with oodles of potential'. This, and then there is the Kang Ki Young drama! Hooray!

I sat through the agony of 'My Familiar Wife' for this man! <3
And it pretty much looks like a non sci-fi take on the better 'second-chance' story of that era (i.e. More like Go Back Couple & less like Familiar Wife, so yay!) ^^

Looks like this will be on Viki in the US. It's on their "coming soon" list under the name "Strangers Again". I was anxiously waiting to see where it would be available, and now I'm wondering if I just missed it before because of the different title. So excited that I'll get to watch!

I am so unbelievably excited for this. Everything about this from the actors to the story is right up my alley if they execute it well. And the poster! God, I love me a classy B&W poster.

Yes to everything you said. From the moment I saw him for the first time in Encounter and then in The Good Detective.

Can't Lose but, hopefully, different? Love the leads! I can't believe that atrocious drama was Kang So-ra's last drama! I hope this one does her justice.

Also, these stills and the teasers show so much chemistry, that's al ready promising. But please, dear god, let there be no track of doom, murder plots and the hair pulling term fate. Too invested from the get-go here...

I haven't watched the first episode yet, but I came here to look at the B&W picture, more than once.
(Fingers crossed the drama will be also so good!)

Oh I just watched the first episode and I am gonna LOVE this! Then I noticed it is 12 episodes long and I thought, why, why? This one needs more time cause it does!

I really enjoyed episode one also. If the drama structure is going to be a divorce a week maybe 12 episodes will be enough.
I tell you though Jang Seung-jo (at 41) is giving Lee Joon-hyuk (1984) a run for his money as far as filling out a suit goes.
