The ‘Tiki-taka’ presented by the two men is considerable. The extraordinary chemistry between the male actors is called ‘Bromance’, but it is the ‘Titakka’ that they create through ad-lib that leads the drama to success.

The two will work together in the new tvN drama ‘Divorce Insurance’, which will be released on the 31st.

The drama is an office romantic comedy that takes place when the best brains gather at an insurance company‘s innovative product development team to introduce a divorce insurance product. It humorously unravels the reality of adults through the process of creating divorce insurance that guarantees life after an unexpected breakup, a potential ‘disaster’ for everyone.

In the drama, Lee Dong-wook plays Noh Ki-joon, an insurance actuary who seems like a perfect man with both qualifications and expertise, but has experienced three divorces and lost both his bank account and mentality. Lee Kwang-soo plays Ahn Jung-man, a cautious and prudent safety-first person.

At the production presentation held online on the afternoon of the 24th ahead of the first broadcast, Lee Dong-wook and Lee Kwang-soo showed off their ‘great chemistry’.

Lee Dong-wook and Lee Kwang-soo said, “The atmosphere on set was really good. We were able to act comfortably, and there were many situations where the director added ad-libs and things outside of the script. That was fun. We received a lot of help on set and had fun filming.”

Lee Kwang-soo said, “Lee Dong-wook and I have been friends since we were young, so he enjoyed any ad-lib we did. It was fun working together, and I looked forward to going to set and it felt like going out to play.”

He then confessed, “When acting, you ad-lib once and that’s it, but this time, I ad-libbed with (Lee) Dong-wook. I wonder if we‘ll be able to see this ad-lib on TV.”

Lee Dong-wook also said, “While reading the script, I asked Kwang-soo a lot, ’Are you going to be an uncle here?‘”, to which Lee Kwang-soo replied with a laugh, “Even when I was outside the set, I came running whenever I heard the word ’uncle.‘”

Lee Da-hee, who appears with them, said, “There’s a so-called ‘uncle series.’ I think it‘ll be on from the first episode. The two of them have amazing tiki-taka. I think it’ll be fun to watch,” and added, “The two of them even analyzed where to put the ad-lib (uncle).”

Director Lee Won-seok, who was in charge of directing, said, “They brought all the ad-libs to life. He raised expectations by saying, “You can look forward to it.”
