Actors Lee Dong-wook, Lee Joo-bin, Lee Kwang-soo, and Lee Da-hee are back with an unprecedented blockbuster hit product.

The production team of tvN‘s new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Divorce Insurance’ (directed by Lee Won-seok and Choi Bo-kyung, written by Lee Tae-yoon) released the ‘Insurance Subscription’ poster on the 4th, announcing the birth of divorce insurance that perfectly prepares for your second life.

‘Divorce Insurance’ is a pure insurance-type office romantic comedy that takes place when the best brains gather at the innovation product development team of an insurance company to introduce a divorce insurance product to deal with divorce, the hottest disaster of this era. Through the process of creating divorce insurance that guarantees life after the potential disaster of divorce and the unexpected breakup, the realistic and relatable growth story of adults trying to live ‘their own way’ unfolds in a pleasant way. This is a work in which director Lee Won-seok of the movie ‘Killing Romance’ and writer Lee Tae-yoon of ‘The Inspector General and Joy’, ‘The Handsome Man and the Woman’, and ‘Tamneun Doda’ have joined forces. Lee Dong-wook, Lee Joo-bin, Lee Kwang-soo, and Lee Da-hee star.

The insurance subscription poster released by the production team on this day catches the eye with the smiles of the divorce insurance team welcoming a new customer. Led by Noh Ki-joon (played by Lee Dong-wook) who hands over the insurance subscription form, the confident smiles of Kang Han-deul (played by Lee Joo-bin), An Jeong-man (played by Lee Kwang-soo), and Jeon Na-rae (played by Lee Da-hee) raise expectations for the teamwork of each insurance expert. Here, the phrase ‘Prepare for just 27,900 won per month’ written on the insurance application stimulates curiosity about how they put a value on the abstract concept of divorce and guarantee a second life and happiness.

Lee Dong-wook seems like a perfect man with both qualifications and expertise, but he plays ‘Noh Ki-jun’, an insurance actuary at Plus Insurance’s innovative product development team who has experienced three divorces. With the idea that divorce is an unexpected disaster in life, he decides to develop a divorce insurance product. Lee Joo-bin plays ‘Kang Handeul’, an underwriter (insurance contract review work) at a new insurance company that was born through divorce. Equipped with ‘Bbang-ttol’ (Bbang-geut Do-rai), he joins Noh Ki-jun‘s divorce insurance development team and gains the courage to take a step forward in the world, drawing a new type of relationship with Noh Ki-jun.

Lee Kwang-soo gives a passionate performance as ‘Safety Only’, a risk surveyor who values safety first. He pretends to be cool on the outside but is actually timid. He struggles with the divorce insurance development team members and goes on the biggest adventure of his life. Da-hee Lee transforms into ‘Jeon Na-rae’, a financial mathematician who only sees the world from an investment perspective. Jeon Na-rae, who has no regrets about any of her choices and decisions and is confident, gradually experiences changes in her life after joining Noh Ki-joon’s divorce insurance team as a special advisory quant.

The production team said, “The struggles of Lee Dong-wook, Lee Joo-bin, Lee Kwang-soo, and Da-hee, who embarked on a divorce insurance development project with the novel idea that divorce is also a disaster that requires preparation, will unfold in an exciting way. In the process, the growth period of adults with different stories will be humorously portrayed.”‘Divorce Insurance’ will be first broadcast at 8:50 p.m. on the 31st.
