“Sorry, Not Sorry” is a 2024 Korean drama series, with 12 episodes, and categorized as Romance and Comedy (Rom-Com). Currently streaming on KOCOWA+ and also on Netflix in certain regions. SUMMARY: A woman who should be divorced but is technically married “on paper” wants to go on with her life. She went to see a life consultant (aka “shaman”) who told her there was man very close to her. She’s about 40 years old and if she didn’t grab at this chance for happiness she might not find a good relationship until she’s 78 years old. It’s confusing because there is more than one man around her. ♦ An Undivorced Divorcee Who Never Had a Wedding In “Sorry, Not Sorry”, Ji Song-Yi has no reason to apologize because she did nothing wrong. Well! You might say registering her marriage before the wedding and then finding out her husband was cheating on her was a bad decision. But how was she to know? She is no different from anyone else. She just wanted to be in a loving relationship and believed the man she loved also loved her. But now she has to go through the trouble of getting a divorce.

Ji Song-Yi’s life is a mix of identity crises, societal pressures, and personal growth. Her journey of balancing the labels society imposes on her with her internal struggles is what makes this drama so appealing. It highlights universal emotions that many can connect with. I wasn’t sure about Jeon So-Min at first, but she shines here. I wouldn’t say it’s groundbreaking, but it’s heartfelt and perfect for unwinding after a busy day."
 
This is my kind of K-Drama! The mix of romance and comedy with Ji Song-Yi’s absurd predicaments—pretending to be a mom, a business owner, and navigating life as an ‘undivorced divorcee’—had me laughing and rooting for her. I adore the chemistry between her and Cha Hyun-Woo. The slow start might deter some viewers, but trust me, by the third episode, it’s pure gold. It’s not just fluff; it’s about finding happiness amidst life’s chaos.
 
I found Cha Hyun-Woo's character intriguing. His bluntness might seem off-putting, but he’s just adhering to the law’s strict framework. Ji Song-Yi’s struggles with proving infidelity highlight how difficult divorce proceedings can be, especially in a system that demands evidence over emotions. The show portrays this realistically, even if it wraps it up in a rom-com tone. It’s an important reminder of how complex marriage laws can be and how emotions don’t always align with legal realities
 
Sorry but I found ‘Sorry, Not Sorry’ underwhelming. Ji Song-Yi’s character is written to be quirky, but at times it felt forced and inconsistent. The setup of being ‘married on paper’ while juggling these outrageous roles is too far-fetched, even for a rom-com. I also struggled with the pacing; the first two episodes didn’t hook me, and I only stuck around because of the positive reviews. There are moments of brilliance, but it’s not a standout in the genre for me
 
Ji Song-Yi’s story is proof that life throws curveballs, and it’s up to us to adapt. Her resilience is inspiring. From dealing with a cheating husband to taking care of her nephew and facing judgmental neighbors, she never loses her sense of humor. The life consultant’s prediction adds a whimsical layer—will she take the leap? I’m rooting for her and Kim Yi-An. Sometimes, happiness is closer than we think
 
I gave this a shot because I needed something light-hearted, and it delivered. The whole idea of Ji Song-Yi being stuck in a sham marriage is pretty amusing. Her dynamic with Cha Hyun-Woo is hilarious—like a rom-com waiting to explode. It’s not a masterpiece, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s entertaining, and that’s all I wanted
 
What fascinated me most was how ‘Sorry, Not Sorry’ showcases modern Korean societal expectations. Ji Song-Yi faces judgment for her marital status, pretends to be a mom, and deals with all these layers of social pressure. It’s a subtle critique of how appearances often matter more than truth. The script smartly balances humor with commentary, and that’s why it works. Plus, the focus on shamanic advice adds a cultural touch that international viewers might find intriguing

I also thought this series watching it a like taking a chill pill.

Societal expectations? For sure, that struck a chord with me especially because the female lead had not done anything wrong. It was like she was being punished for the sins of others. It is very heartbreaking when the one you love turns out to be a RAT!! Yet she couldn't even bring herself to tell her parents why she called off the wedding. That hurts even more!
