However, this first small-screen outing for the director experiences a few growing pains in its early episodes as he looks to match his madcap style to the traditional K-drama formula of the series’ script.
The show is built around a simple and amusing concept with plenty of potential for social observation – an actuary looks to resuscitate his flagging career by pitching a “divorce insurance” product to his company.
Divorces are sad, messy and expensive, but a fact of life for many people although few expect it to happen to them. In a country that is struggling with low marriage and birth rates the show’s theme may appear to make light of the phenomenon, but it is easy to see a path to the typical K-drama happy ending here.
