Divorce dramas usually promise heartbreak. “OK, Let’s Get Divorced” promises something messier — a slow unraveling with lawyers, in-laws, and workplace politics all fighting for a piece of the fallout. Ahead of its premiere, the production team shared three key points to watch, and together they paint a picture of a series built for maximum tension.
1. First-Time Chemistry Between Lee Min Jung and Kim Ji Seok
Lee Min Jung and Kim Ji Seok are teaming up for the first time, playing married couple Baek Mi Young and Ji Won Ho. The pairing brings together Lee Min Jung’s knack for nuanced, emotionally immersive performances with Kim Ji Seok’s natural ease slipping into any role. Together, they’re tasked with portraying the full arc of a marriage — from love-filled newlywed years to the cold, strained present — and that range is exactly what’s generating pre-premiere buzz.
2. The Divorce Reason Keeps Shifting
Unlike most divorce dramas that reveal one clean betrayal, “OK, Let’s Get Divorced” builds its central conflict around layered, evolving reasons. The couple’s relationship reaches its breaking point after the pain of losing a child, while two outside figures — Calvin (Lee Hyun Jin) and Ahn Hee Joo (Lee Jini) — further complicate an already fractured marriage.
Writer Hwang Ji Eon explained that the show is designed so the <cite index=”13-1″>divorce reasons that keep emerging whenever you let your guard down are one of the key points to watch,</cite> adding that as unexpected reasons surface, <cite index=”13-1″>the upper hand between the two leads keeps shifting back and forth.</cite> It’s a structure built to keep viewers guessing rather than settling into a simple villain-versus-victim dynamic.
3. From Family Feud to Legal Battlefield
What starts as a private marital breakdown quickly spreads outward. The couple’s workplace — wedding dress shop G&White — gets pulled into the conflict, with Song Ah Ri (Wang Bit Na) and Kang Kyung Tae (Jung Eui Jae) each taking sides. Ji Won Ho’s family piles on too, with his older brother Ji Seung Ho (Ku Sung Hwan) and mother Ryu Mi Soon (Moon Hee Kyung) inserting themselves at every turn.
The tension peaks when the couple’s respective lawyers — Jeon Chi Hyun (Oh Yeon Ah) and Bae Su Ji (Ahn Nae Sang) — enter the picture, carrying a bitter history of their own that turns the legal proceedings into a battle of pride as much as a divorce case.

Why It’s Worth Watching
Most Korean dramas about divorce focus narrowly on the couple. This one widens the lens to include coworkers, in-laws, and lawyers with their own scores to settle — a structure that promises far more conflict than a typical two-person breakup story. With a strong lead pairing and a writer clearly committed to unpredictability, “OK, Let’s Get Divorced” looks poised to be one of the more layered relationship dramas of the year.
