Literal ragebait
stupidest writing I've ever seen, doesn't make any sense and scenes are just made to ragebait I swear to god.Acting failed to get me into the mood of the drama and I'm usually very patient with even the worst writing but after reaching episode 6 I dropped it.
Also the FL stylist needs to be fired her outfits did not match the scenes at all.
The dialogue was so weak I couldn't get invested and that lawyer? How is she leaking her past client's information and telling his ex girlfriend the details of his divorce that's grounds for her licence to be confiscated.
Genuinely pissed me off and I'm not the type to hate a drama and drop it this fast.

An atrocious drama that has your blood boiling the more you watch it
Literally as the headline says this drama will make your blood boil where you will be wishing if only every character went on their separate ways or hell never met each other at all. Absolute idiot of an ML followed by one of the most rage baiting FL's I have ever seen. The drama starts off good with tensions between the couple already on a boiling point but the issues with this drama start from the very next episodes. The writing is trash, the character arcs, well there isn't any as they start of as grownup idiots and are the same for almost the entire drama.You may hate on the ML at start, guy literally acts like a dumb teenager who can't even take hints and has no idea on when to open his mouth and what to say. He keeps getting on his wife nerves and even the viewers will be thinking how the hell did this turd even got married. It is in the latter half when his hidden scars and pain is revealed and well almost the ending where he does a few things sensible that you will feel for him but overall he is a idiot.
The most obnoxious character in the entire drama is THE WIFE. I feel Lee Min Jung did this drama as a way to show off her true feelings she has been keeping towards her cheating real life husband all these years. Her character is absolutely selfish, toxic and a total damsel in distress who blames everyone for her misfortune but not herself. Her character may start off as sympathetic but with each revelation her character keeps falling more and more below where you will be wishing may you never have a wife like that and if you do then may god have mercy. She is a total push and pull, forgives then blames her husband, cherishes him but the very next day shatters his heart with vile accusations. With each episode you will be thinking that both ML and SML are better of without a woman like her.
Even the side characters aren't likeable other than two. The ML's family is a nightmare for any married woman and her ex the so called knight in shinning armor who hasn't learnt to not cross boundaries all these years. The concept was good yet ruined by the horrendous writing.
Don't bother watching this unless you want a headache.

What is with this storyline?
I love the lead actress. She is why I was excited to start this one. But the plot seemed as if someone threw multiple dramatic conflict elements in the air and watched where they landed and said… perfect. The writing feels disjunct and those plot twists were as if a hugh schooler thought it up for a school project. The ML was as annoying as can be. The only person I liked was Calvin and the husband’s lawyer. The whole thing felt like an immitation of RomComDram. Like someone slept up until the deadline. This just did not meet the quality of storytelling I am acustomed to in K-Dramas.Was this review helpful to you?

bite the bullet and don’t watch, unless you LOVE a hot mess!
this drama, as stated prior, is a complete hot mess. (please excuse any typos seeing as this was written on my phone). as of this week or so, the last episode came out and my lovely spouse and i caught every single terrible episode of this tragedy. it was a walking garbage can of a show, but it definitely had its moments. we watched the show initially as a fan of the male lead, and wanted to finally see him not play a side character. unfortunately, ml turned out to be like every single one of his side characters i’ve seen him in: a piece of TRASH with the emotional range of a crumbled piece of paper. i have a lot of beef with ji wonho, and personally feel like too little people hate him as opposed to his wife. not to credit miyoung, seeing as she’s legitimately no better herself. besides the abusive back and forth between these toxic leads, i genuinely couldn’t stand the justification of a literal gangster ceo who was constantly painted as a good guy, but was also a borderline stalker, JUST LIKE the ACTUALLLL freaking stalker that was the second wl. like, c’mon.. heeju was such a creepy, toxic, and amazing shit ball. her trying to kill herself just because wonho refused to keep entertaining her any longer (after entertaining her when he shouldn’t have in the first place..?!), idk. such. a. mess.the constant miscommunication, the bringing up of trauma and downplaying it to use as fuel for their marriage falling apart, and the stalking ex-lovers were insane. and if that wasn’t enough, THERE WAS A VILLANOUS MAN WHO KILLED FL’S BABY JUST BECAUSE HE WAS IN LOVE WITH WONHOOO… this story i feel like wanted pure shock value and to be interpreted as the most hated drama this year. i’m convinced of it.
if you’d love messy relationship trash with lowkey intolerable, but genuinely funny leads / characters, please go watch jealousy incarnate. the drama sucks, but casting is a 10/10 and you’ll love that you hate every minute of it.

Frustrating as hell
This will be one of my short reviews. I realize that it's a waste of time to try to give all the reasons I didn't like something, so I prefer to focus on what I like and write long reviews for the dramas I loved. So from now on anything that gets less than a 7 gets a short review.The actors were awful. The characters and the acting. I have to say that the FL ruined another series for me. Well, not exactly ruined it but the series had a fun concept and she wasn't the right person for it. I didn't stop seeing other actresses in the role. Here, though, with how bad her characters was written she was the perfect actress to hate. Kudos to her for that.
As for the ML, well, I won't look for any other dramas with him. Not a great actor and his character wasn't either great. When you think about it, these two people deserved each other. I wouldn't go as far as say they deserved their misery because that would be cruel, but for goodness' sake I rarely if ever saw a main couple that mean to each other. A disaster. Whom I hated most? The FL I guess, although it's a close call.
As for the ending, this is the sole reason I gave it a 2. They tried to redeem them a bit and they succeeded. That said, there was no chemistry, not even a smudge of it between them.

Sometimes less drama really is more
I really wanted to enjoy this more, because the premise had everything needed for a messy but entertaining relationship story. Unfortunately, there was simply too much drama for me. Every time I thought the characters were finally going to communicate or move forward, another conflict, misunderstanding, or problem appeared and sent everything backwards again. After a while, instead of making me more invested, it just became exhausting. There were still moments I enjoyed, especially when the story slowed down and focused on the characters and their feelings, but I wish it had trusted those quieter moments more. With fewer unnecessary complications and more time dedicated to actually developing the relationships, I think I would have connected with it much more.Was this review helpful to you?

the dumbest trope ive ever seen
i want to preface by saying im not one to critically think in dramas unless theres blatant poor writing and stuff, but THIS drama. the whole story is just them being getting their divorce and then like, all the misunderstandings that led them up to that point being the FL's fault. First of all, how do you not remember STABBING someone?? also,, if the word IMBECILE was a character it would be the ML. he cheats on his wife and the story STILL portrays him as a misunderstood victim (of his wife). I know a man wrote this show.Was this review helpful to you?
A Comedy of Remarriage That Mistakes Trauma for Depth
I returned to Okay, Let’s Get a Divorce because several comments claimed that episode 5 finally balances the responsibility within the marriage. Technically, it does. The problem is how it gets there.We suddenly learn that on the day she lost their baby, her husband did not abandon her. He was actually trying to get back to her when he had a car accident. Then the drama adds an even more extreme revelation: days later, during her suicide attempt, he tried to stop her and ended up with a knife in his abdomen.
Somehow, she apparently remained unaware of this for years until a conveniently introduced character finally tells her. She sees the scar, realizes that her husband never abandoned her, falls to her knees, cries, and apologizes.
The scene wants to be devastating, and the performances give it some emotional weight, but narratively it is cashing an emotional check the writing never earned. We are not discovering the hidden meaning of information carefully established over five episodes. The drama is retroactively introducing extraordinary events to completely change our perception of the marriage and facilitate the eventual reconciliation.
By episodes 5 and 6, I also finally understood what kind of drama this really wants to be: a comedy of remarriage, a genre Hollywood was already doing almost a century ago. The Awful Truth (1937) used separation, romantic rivals, jealousy, and marital competition to bring a couple back together.
This drama follows essentially the same structure. She asks for a divorce, he moves back into their house, they are forced to live together, and each gets a potential romantic alternative. At one point, when both need someone to take care of them, they even call their respective romantic rivals into the marital home.
The problem isn't that I've seen this story before. The problem is that I've seen it done much better.
The drama takes a perfectly functional remarriage-comedy structure and overloads it with pregnancy loss, grief, a suicide attempt, a stabbing, guilt, and emotional abandonment. Then, whenever it wants to become a rom-com again, it simply switches all that emotional weight off and returns to jealousy, caricatured characters, an exhausting mother-in-law, and playful music.
It doesn't integrate genres. It switches them on and off.
And I could forgive it for not being a particularly good drama if it were at least a good comedy. But after six episodes, I haven't laughed once.
I will correct one thing from my earlier impression: the drama eventually does hold the female lead accountable and acknowledges that her husband was not the monster she had constructed in her mind. That is no longer my main problem with the series.
My problem is worse: this is an old story told mediocrely, artificially inflated with tragedies that it mistakes for depth, while constant tonal shifts destroy any sense of emotional continuity.
The Awful Truth understood this formula in 1937 and needed less than 90 minutes.
This drama has had six episodes and is still trying to convince me why I should care.
Dropped for good.

Jesus Cristo
Eu só assisti isso porque estava acompanhando semanalmente, então não foi algo tão desgraçadamente irritante de ruim.Mas por que eu dei 10 para a atuação? Esse drama com certeza foi feito para que os atores usassem toda a sua capacidade de atuação para fazer a gente se irritar. Então, por esse motivo, dei um belíssimo 10. 😂
A única coisa que se salva nesse drama são as OSTs, que são muito boas. Eu genuinamente só recomendo você escutar as OSTs e nada mais. Vá perder seu tempo assistindo outra coisa e deixe isso no Not Interested. Confie nas minhas palavras.
