OK! Let’s Get Divorced

Our honest opinion — and the kind of viewer who’ll love it most.

The premise does something most divorce dramas avoid: it refuses to make the marriage’s collapse anyone’s fault in particular. Seven good years, one bad incident in year four, and a slow accumulation of exhaustion that Baek Mi-young finally names out loud in year seven — that’s a much harder story to tell with jokes than a betrayal plot, and it’s the thing worth watching for once the show actually airs. Lee Min-jung hasn’t done straight romantic comedy in a while, and a role built on someone choosing peace over reconciliation is a different kind of showcase than the genre usually offers her.

The wedding-dress company setting is doing more work than it looks like on paper. G&White exists because Mi-young and Won-ho fell in love at first sight — it’s literally built on the premise their marriage is now abandoning. Keeping them as co-CEOs after the divorce isn’t just a plot mechanism to keep the leads in scenes together; it’s the show forcing its two leads to keep proving, professionally, that the thing they built was real even if the marriage around it wasn’t sustainable.

Two episodes in, the tonal tightrope between comedy and genuine marital fatigue looks to be holding — the Cheon Man-joo dress deal is exactly the kind of plot engine that can keep Mi-young and Won-ho in the same room without forcing a fake reconciliation. A crowded supporting cast circling the central divorce could still tip it toward overwhelming across the remaining episodes, but the setup has earned its shot.
