The concept of "divorcing the marriage, not the company" is intriguing, but I found the execution lacked depth in some areas. The show skimmed over how their joint business impacted their relationship, which felt like a missed opportunity for some real drama and character growth. Instead, it often relied on typical rom-com tropes that didn't quite resonate with me. I expected more from the writers, given their past work. Did anyone else feel like the humor overshadowed the more serious themes?

So basically you're saying the scriptwriters are getting kind of lazy. I hear you. This is why some people are saying K-dramas are "generic".

The wedding business setting got my attention immediately. These two people make money selling the idea of perfect marriages while their own marriage is falling apart. That contrast is funny without needing some huge comedy setup. I also like that the problem is not simply “they still love each other but are too stubborn.” They actually have something practical to deal with because the company depends on both of them. If they divorce, they still have to see each other at work. That sounds exhausting. I can already imagine them having a serious argument about their marriage and then five minutes later having to discuss a wedding dress with a customer. That alone could make for some very funny scenes.

I am usually not interested in romance dramas where everything depends on whether the couple will get back together. This one sounds a little different because the divorce itself is part of the story. I like that. Sometimes two people can care about each other and still realize that being married is not working anymore. The company makes their situation even harder because they cannot simply walk away and never speak again. I am curious about Mi-Young especially. Losing her parents and throwing herself into work gives her character some understandable emotional baggage. She sounds very serious compared with Won-Ho, so their personalities should create some good arguments. I would watch this mainly to see whether they can actually separate without destroying everything around them.

Honestly, the concept sounds simple but it has enough complications to carry twelve episodes. A married couple wants a divorce. Fine. But then you add a company, employees, customers, family, shared history, and the fact that both people are still important to the business. Suddenly the divorce is not just paperwork. I also like that their company sells wedding dreams to other people. That is such an obvious source of irony, especially when the owners cannot make their own marriage work. I would probably watch this for the workplace scenes as much as the romance. I am also glad the series is only twelve episodes. That feels like a good length for this kind of story because it can tell the relationship properly without stretching every argument for twenty episodes.
