Lee Dong-wook conveyed sympathetic comfort to Lee Joo-bin.

Episode 2 of tvN‘s Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Divorce Insurance’ (directed by Lee Won-seok and Choi Bo-kyung, written by Lee Tae-yoon) depicted the TF team that began developing divorce insurance in earnest. Noh Ki-joon’s (Lee Dong-wook) conversation with his ‘former wife’ gave Kang Han-deul (Lee Joo-bin) who was looking for a justification for divorce insurance an epiphany and a great resonance. After much effort, the TF team obtained conditional approval for divorce insurance and began another adventure toward its official launch.

That day, the TF team, which even included quant Jeon Na-rae (Lee Da-hee), had their first meeting. Noh Ki-joon, who thought he should first find a justification for guaranteeing divorce, and Jeon Na-rae, who thought expanding data was the priority, were in a tense standoff. They decided to split up and move forward. Noh Ki-jun and Kang-han teamed up. Kang-han was suspicious of Noh Ki-jun, who only led them to places unrelated to divorce insurance. They arrived at a temple that was said to be good for coffee. A monk greeted them warmly. The monk‘s friendly conversation with Noh Ki-jun, who was told that the monk was a married couple, was enough to surprise Kang-han.


The monk, who was briefly troubled by Kang-han’s words that he was looking for a reason for divorce insurance, told Kang-han about his unique outlook on life and the reason for his divorce from Noh Ki-jun. The monk‘s words that divorce insurance would definitely cause repercussions, but that he would help anyone who had the courage to choose divorce because they wanted to live “like themselves,” were enlightening to Kang-han.

On the way back after meeting the monk, Noh Ki-jun and Kang-han became much closer. The two decided to sit side by side and watch the shooting star, which is said to be a cosmic show that only happens once in a hundred years. As they talked honestly, the two began to understand each other little by little. In particular, “It’s not a cave, it‘s a tunnel. As someone who has escaped the tunnel three times, I can give you some advice. You have to go in first to get out.” Noh Ki-jun’s words of comfort were a great source of strength for the strong.


The divorce insurance TF team began to speed up development. As a supplementary measure to lower the divorce rate, they even prepared a divorce prevention service by subscription period. On the day of the final battle, the team members anxiously waited for the results of the executive meeting. The result was conditional approval. In order to officially sell, they had to achieve 30 subscriptions in 3 days and a 0% divorce rate within 6 months. Noh Ki-jun thought about the best place to break the dilemma of divorce insurance, where the higher the contract rate, the higher the divorce rate. The place he led the team members to was a marriage fair. The idea was to attack the ambivalence of those about to get married. The first reaction to divorce insurance was cold. However, people began to cautiously visit the divorce insurance consultation booth to avoid other people’s eyes, and the face-to-face ending of the masters‘ meeting made people even more curious about the divorce insurance development story that could go anywhere.

In the meantime, Ahn Jeong-man (played by Lee Kwang-soo) and Jeon Na-rae, who started teamwork to expand data, showed unexpectedly great chemistry. While expectations were high as to whether there would be changes in the relationship between the two who value rational choices, Jeon Na-rae’s suspicious presence was also detected. When Jeon Na-rae returned to the executive director‘s office with the divorce insurance conditional approval results, a mysterious man praised her as the ”Vice President of Plus Insurance China, which launched the first divorce insurance,“ raising curiosity about whether he joined the TF team for another purpose.
