Once a highly anticipated Tvn project starring Lee Dong-Wookthe drama “Divorce insurance” Now it is struggling with disastrously low assessments.

This is among the lowest assessments for a drama on Monday-Marzo on TVn in the last five years- A humiliating record.
“Divorce insurance” It is a romantic office comedy on an imaginary task force that treats divorce as a social disaster and tries to solve it through an insurance product. The premise was initially considered unique and refreshing. However, reality proved to be hard, since the spectators found difficult to connect with the concept, calling it “Irmblable” AND “Lack of empathy”.
One of the greatest problems was the disconnect in the tone. The idea of dealing with something serious as divorce as an extravagant commercial concept came out like insensitive and unrealistic. What was supposed to be a humorous perspective on a real social question failed to resonate, with the spectators who criticize the narrative as Soul and deaf.
With a cast that includes Lee Dong-Wook, Lee Da-Hee, Lee Kwang-Soo and Lee Joo-BinThe drama had all the right ingredients on paper. But a strong acting was unable to save the series from such confusion AND Lack of emotional depth.
Many complained that the drama could not decide if he wanted to be an office drama or a romantic comedy. As the episodes advanced, the The structure of the conflict has become repetitiveTHE dragAND The emotional arches were lacking in clarity, making it difficult for spectators to remain invested.
In the meantime, the reality shows and varieties on the air broadcast in the same time slot, with their rapid editing and stimulating content, have removed the spectators from this slow drama. To make it even more evident, the assessments of the spectators of “Divorce insurance”which are reflected below, tells an obvious story:
- Ep 1: 3.2%
- Ep 2: 2.5%
- Ep 3: 2.0%
- EP 4: 1.4%
- EP 5–8: Stagnanti around 1.0-1.3%
- EP 9: small rebound at 1.4%
- EP 10: It went down again at 1.0%
Even a long -awaited romantic progression in episode 10 with both main couples who share their first kisses have not been able to attract more spectators. The lack of hum or interest word of mouth clarified that the drama simply did not capture attention.
Only Two episodes remainIt is unlikely that “Divorce insurance” He can reverse his fortunes. Propagated as Lee Dong-Wook’s return dramaNow he risks ending up with the label of The drama on the worst weekdays of Tvn for years. Whether it’s a satisfactory ending or silently vanish, the hard truth remains: Very few spectators are still looking to worry in both ways.
