KBS Drama channel and GTV channel's OK! Let's Get Divorced (directed by Joo Seong-woo, written by Hwang Ji-eon) delicately unravels the complex emotions a couple facing divorce experiences, increasing immersion. The two actors' performances vividly portray the emotional line of Baek Mi-young (Rhee Minjung) and Ji Won-ho (Kim Ji-seok), which moves from tenderness to reconciliation to jealousy, adding a peculiar realism to the couple's relationship, and we looked at moments when the couple chemistry shone.
#when they were everything to each other → two people whose hearts diverge amid a tangled situation!
In episode 3, Baek Mi-young and Ji Won-ho secured a collaboration with a famous brand and began preparing for a VVIP fashion show. But Ji Won-ho irritated Baek Mi-young by insisting on a finale model who had caused a scene at last year's fashion show.
Afterward, Baek Mi-young, who heard from that model, "Director Ji said that his wife and I have very similar vibes. That's why he noticed me," could not hide her complex feelings. She recalled the moment when Ji Won-ho had given her a dress he had made himself and proposed. As the happy memory starkly contrasted with the present reality, Baek Mi-young swallowed a bitter feeling.
Ji Won-ho ultimately decided to divorce as well. He witnessed his mother Ryu Mi-soon (Moon Hee-kyung) — enraged by the divorce petition his daughter-in-law Baek Mi-young had sent — come to the company and cause a scene, and Baek Mi-young suffered humiliation, even having her hair grabbed. Ji Won-ho went to his legal representative Bae Soo-ji (Ahn Nae-sang) and declared, "I will sort this out neatly the way my wife wants."
Even amid sharp feelings directed at each other, the lingering tenderness suggested that the two people's relationship would not end in a simple divorce, increasing curiosity about future developments.
#a couple on the brink of divorce join forces in the face of crisis!
On the day of the VVIP fashion show, another unexpected crisis arose: the finale model had an accident and could not appear on stage. Because the event's outcome was critical to the company, Baek Mi-young, who wanted to successfully finish the show, decided to step in as the finale model herself and asked Ji Won-ho to alter the outfit.
Surprised by the sudden request, Ji Won-ho was flustered but showed the skill of a veteran designer and completed the outfit in just 10 minutes. Baek Mi-young also safely took the stage and overcame the crisis.
Even while facing divorce, the two showed perfect coordination in the face of a shared crisis, leaving a peculiar aftertaste as it showed they were still each other's most familiar and reliable presence.

In episode 4, the straightforward advances of new characters intensified the strange tension between Baek Mi-young and Ji Won-ho. Baek Mi-young's ex-boyfriend Calvin (Lee Hyun-jin) and An Hee-ju (Lee Jin-yi), who has a crush on Ji Won-ho, each approached the two actively.
Baek Mi-young went to find Ji Won-ho, who was staying at Ryu Mi-soon's motel, and witnessed him with An Hee-ju, becoming furious. Meanwhile, her former lover Calvin proposed a collaboration, and Baek Mi-young accepted it in a fit of anger.
When Ji Won-ho learned of this belatedly, he showed jealousy, saying, "If Calvin uses work as an excuse to do something with her, I won't stay still." The sight of the couple — about to divorce but still sensitive to each other's romantic relationships — provoked laughter, and the appearance of new romantic interests brought hidden regrets to the surface, adding interest.
In this way, OK! Let's Get Divorced realistically portrays the intricately entangled emotions of Baek Mi-young and Ji Won-ho, drawing viewers' empathy and immersion. As their presence becomes clearer the more they try to push each other away, attention is focused on what choice the two will ultimately make.
