The series "Yes, let's divorce," which premieres on the 19th (Wed) at 11 p.m. (directed by Joo Seong-woo, written by Hwang Ji-eon, produced by CANVAS N), is a work that captures the real divorce experience of a wedding dress shop owner couple who decide to divorce to put an end to a marriage worn out to the limit.

#reality check 200% guaranteed, authentic empathy in the couple acting of Rhee Minjung·Kim Ji-seok
Rhee Minjung and Kim Ji-seok perform as a married couple for the first time in "Yes, let's divorce." Playing Baek Mi-young and Ji Won-ho respectively, the two are expected to delicately portray the complex emotions of a couple facing divorce based on their long-cultivated acting skills.
As they promised seamless chemistry in earlier interviews, they are expected to deliver not only lively comedy but also deep emotional performances that heighten immersion in the drama. Attention is focused on the realistic married-couple chemistry Rhee Minjung and Kim Ji-seok will create.
#"the beginning of marriage" a fierce pre-divorce battle unfolding against the backdrop of a wedding dress shop!
Another viewing point of "Yes, let's divorce" is its unique spatial setting. The main stage of the drama is a wedding dress shop frequented by couples preparing for marriage.
In a space visited by those seeking the fruits of love, Baek Mi-young and Ji Won-ho—who are both spouses and business partners—talk about divorce. The very situation of two people contemplating the end of their marriage in a place preparing for what should be the happiest moment evokes ironic laughter.
#a new beginning faced at the edge of a relationship!
Baek Mi-young and Ji Won-ho ultimately choose separation after repeated conflicts and wounds. The two, who were once a loving couple, at some point are left only with resentment toward each other.
However, after experiencing the major event of divorce litigation, the two rather begin to look at themselves and each other anew. They reflect on the reasons they failed to communicate properly and retrace moments when they lacked understanding of one another, reconsidering the meaning of the choice of "divorce."
Not simply depicting the process of a couple's divorce, the story of the two discovering a new self at the end of the relationship is expected to deliver weighty resonance along with laughter.
