Lee Dong-wook and Lee Kwang-soo will show off their ‘real bromance’.

The two will work together in the new tvN drama ‘Divorce Insurance’, scheduled to air in March. The two actors, who belong to the same entertainment agency and are usually like brothers, are drawing attention to whether they will continue the ‘bromance’ craze that Joo Ji-hoon and Choo Young-woo brought through ‘Severe Trauma Center’.

In particular, since they have shown off their extraordinary friendship on YouTube and entertainment programs and made people laugh, attention is also focused on their acting showdown without the humor this time.

‘Divorce Insurance’, which the two have joined hands for, is an office romantic comedy drama that quantifies all matters related to divorce and sets an appropriate insurance amount to launch a ‘divorce insurance’ product.

It stimulates curiosity because it contains the honest process of the best brains gathered at an insurance company putting a price on divorce. Director Lee Won-seok of the movie ‘Killing Romance’ and writer Lee Tae-yoon of the drama ‘A Teacher and Joy’ have joined forces.

It is also eye-catching that the two are appearing as ‘divorced men’. In the drama, Lee Dong-wook plays Noh Ki-joon, who is handsome and brilliant, and who quickly gets promoted by hitting the jackpot with every product he releases as soon as he joins the company. He is a character who has divorced three times and has given his ex-wives alimony equivalent to their annual salaries.

Lee Kwang-soo, who appears as Lee Dong-wook‘s elementary school classmate, plays Ahn Jeong-man, who suggests accident prevention measures and suggests the most efficient insurance program. He divorces suddenly due to his wife’s notice and pretends to be fine on the outside, but he is actually timid and values safety the most, just like his name.

This is the first time the two have acted together.

They appeared together in the 2021 film ‘Happy New Year’, but they did not appear in one scene because 14 top stars appeared in an omnibus format.
