Actors Lee Min-jung and Kim Ji-seok will be transforming into a married couple in their 7th year of marriage in the new drama ‘Okay, Let‘s Get a Divorce’.

The new drama ‘Okay, Let’s Get a Divorce’ (directed by Joo Sung-woo, written by Hwang Ji-eon) is about the real divorce experience of a couple who run a wedding dress shop and try to put an end to their exhausting marriage.

In ‘Okay, Let‘s Get a Divorce’, actress Lee Min-jung has been confirmed to play Baek Mi-young, the CEO of G&White, and actor Kim Ji-seok has been confirmed to play Ji Won-ho, the co-CEO of G&White and Mi-young’s husband.

Lee Min-jung will play the role of Baek Mi-young, the CEO of G&White, and will unfold her turbulent divorce story. Mi-young, who dreamed of becoming a female tailor while watching her father run a suit shop, becomes crazy about work after losing her parents in an unexpected accident. After that, Mi-young got married to Ji Won-ho, a wedding shop designer who had been by her side, and they founded G&White together. She tried her best to protect the company even in times of crisis, but after 7 years of marriage, she declared divorce from Won-ho.

‘Okay, Let‘s Get a Divorce’ is garnering even more attention as it is Lee Min-jung’s comeback to the small screen in 5 years since ‘Once Again’. Having built solid acting skills and unique characters in dramas such as ‘Fates and Furies’, ‘Come Back Mister’, ‘Crazy Single Lady’, attention is focused on what kind of acting transformation she will show this time.

Kim Ji-seok plays Ji Won-ho, Baek Mi-young‘s husband and G&White co-CEO and designer. He fell in love with Mi-young at first sight, who stimulated his protective instinct at his first job, and proposed after 6 months of dating. Won-ho, who had been married to Mi-young without any major crises, faces a crisis due to an incident that occurred between the couple in their fourth year of marriage.

Kim Ji-seok, who has doubled the fun of dramas with his unique character digestion in dramas such as ‘New Soldier 2’, ‘Kiss Sixth Sense’, ‘Monthly House’, and ‘When the Camellia Blooms’, is raising curiosity about what kind of joy he will bring to viewers through the character of Ji-won Ho in this production. While expectations are high for the combination of Lee Min-jung and Kim Ji-seok, attention is also focused on the chemistry between the two as a married couple for the first time.

Regarding this, the production team of ‘Let’s Get a Divorce’ said, “We are honored to be able to cast Lee Min-jung and Kim Ji-seok, actors we trust and watch as they play the roles of a couple going through conflict, as the main characters. The two actors‘ strong synergy will bring great fun to the living room theater,” he said. “The meeting of the two will greatly increase the perfection and immersion of the play, so please show a lot of interest and anticipation.”

Meanwhile, ’Let‘s Get a Divorce’ is gearing up for production with the goal of broadcasting in the first half of 2025 and airing on a global OTT platform.
