5. The Divorce Insurance, 2025

IMDb Score: 6.8/10

Noh Ki-joon has already been divorced three times, which prompted him to create a marriage insurance policy. It was designed to solve two problems at once: help preserve the relationship and mitigate financial losses when separation is inevitable.

The creators offer to look beyond the happy ending. What remains when first love fades? What to do when feelings collide with everyday life? And is it true that love ends after marriage?
