Finding your “other half” is a blissful idea, until it all comes crashing down. Let’s Get Divorced (離婚しようよ) is the upcoming Netflix Japanese romantic comedy series releasing this week that will unravel the politics of love and marriage when real life and its shrewd diplomacies gets involved in the mix. Sometimes love isn’t enough to carry us till the end, but don’t take this cautionary statement as a let down pushing you to believe that the new series is all serious and no fun, because that’s not at all what you’re in for!
All the bubbly and romantic feels of the show soon wash out to make way for a hilariously chaotic race against politics. As the two supposed “soulmates” face off against each other, they unveil new flavours to what it means to be in love or hate each other. Brace yourselves before things are about to get rocky in this relationship and equally amusing for us to watch.

Let’s Get Divorced Plot/Storyline
As the trailer of the show goes, the initial moments reveal a starstruck couple who’re lucky to have each other as partners in their life and soon embark on their married life together. They believed their happiness to be entwined with the idea of their other half being beside them. But, as all dreams fizzle out, this one, too, fades away soon, leaving room for only bad blood and harsh comments for the other, and the only thing they seem to be looking forward to now is divorce.
It seems as if Taishi Soji, the leading man gives way to an extramarital affair in his life and it solidifies the desire for Yui Kurosawa, the leading woman to cut ties with him as soon as possible. The people around them dictate otherwise due to the arising circumstances, and they’re forced to stick it out and play pretend in front of society. To keep up the looks of it as the Taishi Soji is a third generation politician and Yui Kurosawa a renowned actress, the two stick it out together till the former has won the elections.
The common enemies to lovers or lovers to enemies (as it seems) trope makes you wonder if they were ever in love with each other or if it was just a ploy to make ends meet for their convenience. However, there’s always a chance of the two leading players falling for each other in the end, regardless of what they may have begun with. What does the future hold for them – a divorce (what they’re hoping for) or a plot twist?
