Weddings usually mark the end of a K-drama’s story. This time, Lee Min Jung is starting where most love stories stop. Ahead of her upcoming drama OK, Let’s Get Divorced, the actress has opened up about why the project pulled her in — and it isn’t the fairytale you’d expect.
The series follows a married couple who run a wedding dress shop together, only to realize their own marriage has quietly run out of road. Lee Min Jung plays Baek Mi Young, the shop’s outwardly successful CEO hiding a far messier reality at home.
What Lee Min Jung Revealed
| Topic | What She Said |
|---|---|
| Why she took the role | Drawn to a realistic story about people discovering who they truly are and what love actually means |
| How she prepared | Researched wedding dresses and spoke with real co-CEOs of wedding dress businesses |
| Building the backstory | Wrote diary-style entries imagining her character’s and co-star’s shared past |
| Chemistry with Kim Ji Suk | Called it “really great,” adding he brought more depth to his role than she expected |
What stands out here isn’t just the divorce premise — it’s the level of prep work behind it. Writing imagined diary entries to build a character’s emotional history is a level of detail that suggests this won’t be a typical breakup drama; it’s aiming for something closer to lived-in realism.
OK, Let’s Get Divorced premieres August 19 at 11 p.m. KST. For more upcoming drama interviews and entertainment coverage alongside trending sports news, head over to TechnoSports.
