Lee Dong-wook revealed his feelings about playing a divorced man.

On the afternoon of the 24th, an online production conference for tvN‘s new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Divorce Insurance’ (directed by Lee Won-seok, Choi Bo-kyung, and written by Lee Tae-yoon) was held. Lee Dong-wook, Lee Joo-bin, Lee Kwang-soo, Lee Da-hee, and director Lee Won-seok attended the event.

Lee Dong-wook said about his character, “I’ve literally been divorced three times. I‘m a person who has experienced divorce multiple times. After going through three divorces, I’ve experienced hardships mentally and financially, and I think of divorce as a disaster, quantifying it and creating a guaranteed insurance product.”

On playing a character with multiple divorces, he said, “People around me asked if I felt burdened, but I didn‘t. As you’ll see when you watch the show, the divorces weren‘t due to someone’s fault, but rather because I acknowledged their differences in personalities. So I thought, “Why don’t we bring that character to life?” he said.

“Divorce Insurance” is a purely guaranteed office romantic comedy about the innovation product development team of an insurance company, which is comprised of only the best brains, introducing a divorce insurance product to deal with divorce, the hottest disaster of this era.
