‘OK, Let’s Get Divorced’ Teaser Reveals Marriage Breaking Point

The upcoming drama “OK, Let’s Get Divorced” has unveiled its first highlight teaser, offering audiences an unflinching look at the dissolution of a marriage bound by both love and commerce. The video captures the precise moment when one half of a couple decides their marriage has run its course—not gradually, but with crystalline certainty.

A Marriage Fractured Beyond Repair

The teaser opens with an image that will define the entire series: Baek Mi Young (Lee Min Jung) stands at the edge of a bridge, removes her wedding ring, and casts it into the water below. The act is deliberate, solitary, and final. This single gesture raises immediate questions about what could drive someone to such a public severance of one of life’s most intimate bonds.

Seven Years of Accumulated Resentment

Baek Mi Young and Ji Won Ho (Kim Ji Seok) have been married for seven years—long enough for the initial spark to fade, but short enough that the break feels sudden to outside observers. The couple runs a successful wedding dress shop together, a business that has become the primary vehicle for their lives. What began as a shared dream has evolved into a source of constant friction.

The Cost of Building a Business Together

As the CEO of the bridal company, Baek Mi Young has surrendered almost entirely to her professional ambitions. She functions as a workaholic, channeling every ounce of energy into the shop’s operations. Her husband, serving as both designer and co-CEO, has watched their personal relationship dissolve while they remained tethered to each other through boardroom decisions and financial interdependence. The marriage has become a professional arrangement rather than a partnership of equals.

Baek Mi Young: Ambition Without Compromise

Lee Min Jung portrays a woman whose drive has calcified into rigidity. Baek Mi Young’s approach to both business and marriage leaves no room for negotiation. When the couple receives an offer to appear together on a variety show, she sees an opportunity to boost their declining sales figures. Her reluctance to participate gives way to pragmatism—the company’s revenue is dropping, and public relations matter.

Ji Won Ho: Respect as a Prerequisite

Kim Ji Seok’s character operates from a different framework entirely. In the teaser, he articulates his fundamental grievance: “There should at least be some respect between a married couple.” His words capture the core complaint of someone whose contributions have been overshadowed and whose voice has been repeatedly dismissed. When Baek Mi Young refuses to defer to his perspective, he escalates: “Stop acting so high and mighty. Is this company yours?” The question is rhetorical but loaded—it suggests that she has appropriated ownership of something built jointly.

Maintaining the Facade While Everything Crumbles

The couple’s decision to appear on a variety show creates the central tension of the drama’s premise. In public, they perform affection and unity. The cameras roll, the audience smiles, and they present as a functioning married partnership. Behind closed doors, this performance becomes increasingly exhausting. Every interaction is freighted with unresolved anger and disappointed expectations.

Baek Mi Young refuses to back down when Ji Won Ho challenges her authority. Their exchanges escalate rapidly into confrontations marked by equally harsh counterattacks from both sides. The teaser suggests that their public personas and private realities have diverged so completely that reconciliation seems impossible.

When Outside Parties Complicate the Picture

An Ex-Boyfriend Resurfaces

The introduction of Calvin (Lee Hyun Jin), identified as Baek Mi Young’s ex-boyfriend, adds a layer of intrigue to the deteriorating marriage. His presence raises questions about whether unresolved feelings from the past are being awakened or weaponized during this vulnerable period in the couple’s relationship.

A Rival Emerges

Meanwhile, Ahn Hee Joo (Lee Jini) makes bold advances toward Ji Won Ho, further destabilizing whatever equilibrium might have existed. These external attractions introduce the possibility that one or both parties might choose exit routes through infidelity or new romantic connections rather than through formal divorce proceedings.

The Strategy That Backfires

Ji Won Ho devises what the teaser describes as a “sleeping with the enemy” strategy—an attempt to either reconcile the marriage or accelerate its dissolution through proximity and manipulation. Instead of clarifying the situation, this approach only adds layers of complication to an already fractured dynamic. The strategy backfires, and the situation deteriorates further.

A Drama About Realistic Dissolution

What distinguishes “OK, Let’s Get Divorced” from conventional romantic dramas is its commitment to depicting divorce not as melodramatic tragedy but as a realistic process. The series centers on couples who have genuinely run out of reasons to remain married. The variety show appearance, the ex-boyfriend, the rival love interest—these are not distractions from the central story but rather manifestations of the chaos that accompanies a marriage’s formal ending.

The highlight teaser frames the series not as a story about whether the couple will reconcile, but rather as an exploration of how two people disentangle their lives when virtually every aspect of their existence has become intertwined. Their business, their reputations, their daily routines—all of it will need to be unraveled.

Premiere Date

“OK, Let’s Get Divorced” is scheduled to premiere on August 19 at 11 p.m. KST. The series promises to deliver an unflinching examination of modern marriage and its dissolution, anchored by performances from Lee Min Jung and Kim Ji Seok that capture the exhaustion and resentment that accumulates over years of unresolved conflict.
