The Divorce Insurance

I think casting is a big problem here, missing the chemistry.. You feel romace and comedy are both forced and not reactionary..The director is so overacting althought he was great in LIFE.. the sexond lead male actor is either eating or grumpy in every scene.. I don't know exactly how this would be funny... Compared to the same kind of drama (e.g touch your heart) honestly..!!!!!!!No comparison at all... I am trying to complete the episodes but honestly I can't.. I don't know why these decent actors played this drama... directing is terrible...The rythm.. the introduction... everything is out of details.. All actors are underperforming.. even LDW appears infashionable in most of the scenes..

I gave 4 because of some good scenes and because every effort should be appreciated..

First of all, I recommend watching this in the original Korean with English subtitles. The English voiceovers ruin the performances by the actors and throw off the overall tone of the interactions.

The premise of the series is unique and I appreciate the creativity of the show. It portrays divorce as something not to be ashamed of and I think it's easy for people, even in this day and age, to still view divorce as taboo. They highlight the importance of self-awareness and effort when it comes to a relationship, which is easily forgotten if couples have been together for a long time. The concept of this series really is refreshing.

The insurance jargon can be a bit much in the beginning, but the show provides explanations and you don't really have to be an expert to understand what the characters are trying to accomplish. Speaking of the characters, I love the chemistry between the actors. Particularly the love/hate bromance between Noh Ki-jun (Lee Dong-wook) and An Jeon-man (Lee Kwang-soo). They are ridiculous and hilarious together! Overall, it's a cute rom-com that provides a unique examination of divorce.

Lee Dong Wook's star power can't save this very weak passionless rom com. Even at just 12 episodes the series dragged. The male leads behaved without passion and the romantic scenes and kisses were so lame. The humor was often painful and exaggerated. Initially the premise had some potential with the concept of providing divorce insurance. There were some moderately diverting side plots with couples going through marital difficulties.

Also the casting was off. Lee Joo Bin isn't lead rom com material. She is more of a supporting villainess as in Queen of Tears and Money Heist. So she had little chemistry with Lee Dong Wook. The supporting actress Lee Da Hee is tall and beautiful but her styling in this show was terrible. They gave her a short hair style which made her head look too small for her tall frame. And they often dressed her in big padded jackets. She was so beautiful in her earlier shows like Big Man and Secret Love when she had normal hair. The tall male secondary lead Lee Kwang Soo is just too goofy looking for rom com. And Lee Dong Wook just looked out of place as an office worker.

The soundtrack is quite nice with a few romantic songs.

Better to skip this one. No wonder this show flopped in Korea.

It's so weird to see actor Lee Jong Suk in a workplace K-drama after so long. I got so used to seeing him as a grim reaper, a nine-tailed fox, or a secret agent. It was honestly surprising to see him sit in one place for this K-drama, lol. It's short-only about 12 episodes-so it doesn't drag on too much. As the title suggests, the story focuses on adulting, marriage, and similar themes. Since I'm still a teenager, I couldn't relate to it much.

The chemistry between the leads was amazing. I recognized the female lead from "Money Heist Korea" and "Queen of Tears." It's a light watch with forced comedy and awkward giggles, and the drama had its moments too. It's worth watching once-nothing extraordinary, tear-jerking, or out of pocket.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you have a great day!

I've been absolutely blown away by this Korean drama - it's hands down the best one I've seen this month! The plot is so intricately woven, with twists and turns that keep me on the edge of my seat. The acting is phenomenal, and the chemistry between the lead actors is electric. I'm totally invested in the characters' journeys and can't wait to see how their stories unfold.

I'm curious though, does anyone know if there's any chance they might release all 12 episodes at once, similar to how Netflix does with some of their shows? I know it's not common practice for Korean broadcasters, but the anticipation is killing me! I'd love to be able to binge-watch the entire series in one go. The weekly wait is both exciting and torturous.

If they did release it all at once, I think it would create such a buzz and potentially reach an even wider global audience. Plus, it would allow viewers to fully immerse themselves in the story without interruption. On the other hand, I can see how the weekly release format builds anticipation and allows for more community discussion between episodes.

What do you all think? Would you prefer a full series drop, or do you enjoy the traditional weekly release schedule? And has anyone heard any rumors or news about potential changes in how Korean dramas are released in the future?
