A Strong Premise, Rushed Feelings, and a Divorce That Never Quite Lands
đź“ť Review
(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I’m Not Saving You from Any Emotional Damage)
This drama has an interesting premise, but it never quite figures out what it wants to do with it.
An arranged marriage, ten years of no contact, and a sudden request for divorce should have been emotionally loaded—but instead, Hello, Nice to Meet You. Let’s Get Divorced. plays out in a strangely uneven, rushed way.
The setup is compelling on paper. The female lead reappears out of nowhere asking for a divorce, and the male lead is understandably blindsided. Unfortunately, once the story gets moving, it settles into a repetitive loop: he falls fast and tries desperately not to get divorced, while she focuses on finding herself and asserting independence. That dynamic could have worked—but it never deepens.
The emotional pacing is off. The male lead’s feelings escalate too quickly to feel earned, and the female lead’s journey, while understandable, isn’t given enough nuance to really resonate. Instead of growth, we get a lot of circling.
Then there’s the randomly placed second male lead, who feels less like a meaningful complication and more like a narrative afterthought. His presence doesn’t add much tension or clarity—it just exists.
The saving grace here is the runtime. Because the series is short, it never overstays its welcome. Had this been longer, I probably wouldn’t have finished it. As it stands, it’s watchable, mildly frustrating, and ultimately forgettable.
đź’ Final Mood
“Interesting idea, odd execution, glad it was short.”
