Lee Dong-wook is introducing a new concept of divorce insurance that guarantees a second happiness.

The production team of tvN‘s new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Divorce Insurance’ (directed by Lee Won-seok, Choi Bo-kyung, written by Lee Tae-yoon) released character stills of Lee Dong-wook, who has transformed into the role of insurance actuary ‘Noh Ki-jun’, who has jumped into the development of divorce insurance, a type of insurance that has never been seen before, on the 13th.

‘Divorce Insurance’ is a pure insurance-type office romantic comedy that takes place when the innovative product development team of an insurance company, which is said to have gathered only the best brains, introduces 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 collaboration between director Lee Won-seok of the movie ‘Killing Romance’ and writer Lee Tae-yoon of ‘The Inspector General and Joy’, ‘The Handsome Man’, and ‘Tamneun Doda’. Lee Dong-wook, Lee Joo-bin, Lee Kwang-soo, and Lee Da-hee star.


More than anything, attention is focused on Lee Dong-wook’s cheerful transformation. Lee Dong-wook plays the role of ‘Noh Ki-jun’, an insurance actuary on the innovation product development team at Plus Insurance who has lost both his wallet and soul due to three divorces. In an era where divorce rates are skyrocketing, he is determined to develop a divorce insurance product with the idea that ‘divorce’ is an unexpected disaster.

In the photos released by the production team, Noh Ki-jun is a passionate ‘hard worker’. Noh Ki-jun, who has both qualifications and expertise, has been suffering from failure with every product he has launched behind the glorious title of ‘Genius Insurance Actuary’, but he ends up proposing divorce insurance as a winning product. His absurd appearance at a wedding fair, wearing even a promotional ribbon, which doesn‘t go with divorce insurance, hints at the arduous process leading up to the launch of divorce insurance. In another photo, Noh Ki-jun’s empty eyes draw attention to the hidden story of why he, who has gone through three divorces, launched divorce insurance.


Lee Dong-wook said, “I was drawn to the unique subject matter of ‘divorce insurance’ and the writer‘s witty lines,” explaining why he chose the work. Lee Dong-wook, who described the character of ‘Noh Ki-joon’ as “a considerate, deep-thinking, and loyal person”, said, “I hoped Noh Ki-joon would be seen as a lovable character”.

‘Divorce Insurance’ will premiere at 8:50 p.m. on the 31st.
