The Divorce Insurance: Episodes 5-6

by Unit

As our show reaches its halfway mark, Team Divorce must prevent a high risk client from getting a divorce. And as they rally to bring back the spark in their client’s marriage, they just might succeed in fanning the flames of their own romances.

EPISODES 5-6

The week begins with Ki-joon and Han-deul at the FSS office to discuss their violation of insurance regulations. Apparently, the divorce team promised to host divorce ceremonies for their clients in the event of a divorce, but according to the regulations, “during the execution and solicitation of insurance contracts, items exceeding thirty thousand won may not be provided to consumers.” The FSS doesn’t think a divorce ceremony can be hosted for less than thirty thousand won, and this is a problem — that can be solved if the first ten people who signed up for the insurance don’t get divorced until their contract term ends.

As a means of divorce prevention, the team organizes leisure activities for their clients — including dance classes, which Ah-young’s blind date from last week, PARK WOONG-SHIK (Yoo Hyun-soo), is excited to teach. The team also engages various experts to evaluate the clients and determine the ones with a higher risk of divorce. The same set of clients pop up in all the evaluations, and the experts’ top pick is the same person — who also happens to be one of the first ten clients to sign up for the insurance! Uh-oh. Now the team has to stop this client from getting divorced, otherwise their project will be scrapped by both their company and the FSS.

Ki-joon and Han-deul visit the risky client, MI-RAE (cameo by Han Sun-hwa). But Mi-rae is not interested in hearing them out when she hears they’re not here for her tarot reading services. As a last resort, Han-deul asks to consult on the probability of success in a particular task. Mi-rae reads Han-deul’s cards and assures her of success in said task, and Han-deul replies that she’s tasked with making sure Mi-rae doesn’t get a divorce. Oops! This means if Mi-rae goes ahead with her divorce, it puts a question mark in her tarot reading prowess.

Mi-rae tells Ki-joon and Han-deul that she has spent more time alone than she has spent with her husband, HYUN-JAE (cameo by Kwak Shi-yang), because he is a documentary photographer and he’s always on assignment abroad. Hyun-jae is currently in Korea trying to photograph an elusive tiger, but she doesn’t even know where he is. Mi-rae promises to reconsider the divorce if the team finds Hyun-jae for her. Using a picture on his social media, Han-deul and Ki-joon track Hyun-jae to a village outside of Seoul, and they call the rest of the team down to the village for reinforcement.

Ah-young is surprised to see Woong-shik in the village, and we learn that he’s also the village head. He really is a jack of all trades! The team splits to cover more ground, and Woong-shik warns Ki-joon and Han-deul to be careful because it’s easy to get lost in the mountains. But Ki-joon claims to be a human GPS, and those are his famous last words. I hundred percent expected them to get lost, but I did not imagine they would run into a freaking tiger! At least Ki-joon and Han-deul are in the company of a mountain god with a big ass sword to slay the beast. Wait, wrong drama. Danger, danger, y’all gon’ be tiger dinner.

Hyun-jae stumbles upon Ki-joon and Han-deul in the mountains, and he gets his million dollar snapshot of the tiger. Then the trio run for their lives and manage to make it back to safe grounds. Phew! Hyun-jae is grateful he met Ki-joon and Han-deul because he’d have been the tiger’s dinner if he was alone, and he offers to do anything to pay them back. They ask him to meet with Mi-rae, and he’s reluctant because he thinks they’ll really get divorced if he sees her now. But he eventually agrees after Ki-joon’s Schrödinger’s cat “you’ll never know until you try” analogy.

Before retiring for the night, Jeon-man asks Ki-joon if he and Na-rae are really over. Jeon-man is not direct in his questions, but it’s evident that he’s interested in Na-rae and he wants to know if it’s okay with his friend. Ki-joon can’t speak for Na-rae, but he says it’s over for him. Last we checked, Na-rae still had feelings for Ki-joon. But right now, she seems to have given up on any hope of them getting back together. But even if she hasn’t, Han-deul declares her intention for Ki-joon via knitting doublespeak between the ladies. Hehe.

Mi-rae arrives to meet Hyun-jae the next day, and they resolve their issues after an honest conversation where they spell out what they want from each other. To cement the couple’s reconciliation, Ki-joon suggests a vow renewal ceremony as opposed to the divorce ceremony Mi-rae initially demanded. Thanks to Woong-shik and the villagers, the team pulls off a beautiful and intimate ceremony under the thirty thousand won budget. The tiger even makes an appearance at the top of the mountain to bless the couple. Lol. Mi-rae and Hyun-jae will move forward in their relationship as travel companions, and I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Back to our show’s couples, Ah-young and Woong-shik are now on friendlier terms. Things have progressed between Na-rae and Jeon-man, and it looks like they spent a ~night~ together. As for Ki-joon and Han-deul, we get confirmation of their feelings for each other when they make a call to their future selves. Han-deul asks if Future Han-deul succeeded in getting what she really wanted (apparently, she was asking for something else at the tarot reading), and there’s a charged moment when she gives the payphone to Ki-joon. “Remember today,” Ki-joon says to his future self, and I swoon! But he’s not done yet. The next morning on their drive home, Ki-joon tells Han-deul ~~he likes her~~ to move in with him, and we shall hear her answer next week.

I liked how Mi-rae and Hyun-jae’s story played out — casting directors, you have one job with Han Sun-hwa and Kwak Shi-yang! — and I liked how it brought the team out of the office and put them in proximity for teamwork and romance. We saw little of Team Leader Na this week, but his conversation with his hoobae about his glory days in sales and the negative effect it had on his family time and his health, stayed with me. There’s certainly more depth to his character when he’s not being an unfunny comic relief.

The divorce team might be succeeding at romance, but there is fire on the mountain when it comes to work. A rival insurance company is set to launch their own divorce insurance, and they are not taking the gentleman approach with the competition. They’re the ones who reported our divorce team to the FSS in the first place. There’s also the case of the faceless person who keeps using the divorce team’s work computers to send information to God knows where/whom. Someone save Ki-joon and Han-deul from getting implicated in whatever shady business is going on here.
