If love is a risk, then why not its insurance? A new ke-drama, divorce insurance, takes this idea and moves with it. The series is an office Rome-Com with a fresh perspective on marriage, isolation and practicals in the middle. In an era where divorce rates are climbing, this Lee Dong-Vook drama challenges old taboo and considers divorce as just one more life event-one, one, which is like health or car insurance, you can be ready for it.

Directed by the romance’s Lee Won-Sek and written by the Secret Royal Inspector and Joy’s Li Tae-Yun, the show follows Noh’s-Joon (Li Dong-Wook), a top-level insurance actus working in a company’s insurance product development team. On the surface, Ki-jun feels that it is sub-grain, looks, and a great career. But behind this, he tolerated the triple talaq, each snatched a lot of money as alimony. As part of his innovative thinking, he suggests developing a radical new product: divorce insurance- the result of his own experience.

Kang Han-Deul (Lee Zoo-Bin) is cast opposite to them which is a careful insurance underwriter responsible for assessing contracts. The newly divorced, he has doubt from the point of view of the world, but soon finds himself associated with new product development. Meanwhile, Ego Jean-Man (Lee Quang-Su) plays the role of a serious but helpless person who plays the greatest gambling of his life by joining the ambitious plan of-June. Jeon is na-raya (Li da-he) to add to the riot, who is a financial mathematician, who sees everything as an investment risk.

The basis of divorce insurance is undeniably complicated. It is often treated with stigma in a subject and re -defines it as a financial and emotional security. However, while the show is a smart mix of satire, romance and office drama, if the first two episodes become anything, it executes, waving. Pacing seems uneven, and the script struggles to balance humor with depth.

Lee Dong-Wook once again proves why she is one of the most versatile actors in the industry. As a-joon, he is originally shifted between Deadpan comedy and calm introspection. Their ability to convert to any role – whether a heartthrobe, a grimm reaper, a stoic professional, or an inauspicious divorce – here is on full performance.

Lee Zoo-Bin brings a ground heat to Han-Deul, although her character is still in the predicted Rome-Com trops. Lee Quang-Su, as usual, delivers the comedic gold. Lee da-hee, in a more restrained role, adds a sharp contrast with its non-habitation approach to relationships and finance.

Despite the concrete performance, chemistry among the artists feels that it is still settling. While there are moments that promise a strong coordination in the upcoming episodes, the dynamics of the character do not yet clicked completely – something that can improve as the series improves.

Divorce insurance is an attractive concept that is wrapped in slightly mess execution. It is bold in its approach to divorce, it is considered as a natural part of life rather than failure. However, the first two episodes suggest a show that is still trying to find its rhythm.

For now, it is worth watching alone for Lee Dong-Vook performance, but will it really stand out. The show leaves new episodes every Monday and Tuesday. It is available to Indian fans on prime video.
