The Divorce Insurance Kdrama Plot
In a world where there’s an insurance plan for everything, product developer No Gi-jun, who works at an insurance company, is both a commendable worker and sort of a misfit. After being married and divorced thrice, his soul is suffering as is his wallet but his conviction and positive outlook towards his past might just separate him from his peers, social conventions be damned. With divorce rates skyrocketing every day around the world Gi-jun comes up with a unique plan in this new Korean drama to insure divorces! It’s definitely a different plan and one that everyone finds amusing, but Gi-jun stands steadfast behind his idea and is resolute in his effort to offer support in a time of unexpected crisis, as he puts it.

She is a patient woman and has lived her life following these morals but when she goes through her divorce, she decides to throw caution to the wind. Plus, we also have An Jeon-man, a risk surveyor who comes up with accident prevention measures and effective insurance programs, who decides to live “dangerously” by keeping his cautious personality to the side after joining the divorce insurance team. Last but not least, we have Jeon Na-rae, a financial mathematician who is sure of her abilities and her decisions and never regrets them. After divorcing her husband immediately after their honeymoon, she joins the team as a special advisory quantitative analyst.
The four teammates with varying qualities and temperaments are at odds with one another over their surprising new idea. Will they have takers? Will they be able to find a healthy balance and bring this quirky idea to life?
