“Flyers, Feelings & a Freakin’ Tiger”

If you thought The Divorce Insurance couldn’t get any wilder, Episode 5 said, “Hold my cabbage.” Between illegal flyer drama, an accidental sexy video call, cabbage courtship, and our leads literally running into a tiger — yes, an actual tiger— this episode proves this show is off its rocker in the best way possible.

We start with Ki-jun and Han-deul facing an FSS rep over a flyer from the wedding fair. Turns out, it mentioned “divorce ceremonies” as part of the package for policyholders who end up splitting — which, legally, is a no-go since those ceremonies are considered luxury services.

Oops.

Ki-jun confidently (read: desperately) assures the rep that none of the couples will get divorced. Ever. Because that’s totally how marriages work.

Na-rae and Jeon-man visit a psychologist for help predicting divorces. Her pick? The couple who claims they never fight. Apparently, avoiding conflict is a red flag. Great — so silence is not golden.

Meanwhile, Dae-bok is spiraling. The same couple the psychologist flagged — Gu Mi-rae and her husband — was also marked “high risk” by the physiognomist. Double doom.

Worse? Mi-rae was one of the ten who signed up at the fair. Meaning the whole flyer issue could blow up.

Ah-yeong runs into her clingy blind date Woong-sik, who is somehow:

  • A dancer

  • A building owner

  • A farmer

  • And obviously in love with her

She ropes him into helping with their divorce prevention campaign (through dance workshops, of course), but has zero interest in dating him. He finds her indifference charming. And gifts her… a cabbage. As one does.

Jeon-man is trying to unwind with a yo-yo when Na-rae joins him. There's an almost-sweet moment, until she topples over and he tries to help her up.

Then Ki-jun calls.

Instead of hanging up, Jeon-man accidentally switches to video call — and from Ki-jun and Han-deul’s POV, it looks like things are getting intimate on the floor. Naturally, they hang up immediately and start laughing about it, calling it their “mattress incident” 2.0. Honestly, this show really knows how to milk a misunderstanding.

With Mi-rae’s policy hanging by a thread, Ki-jun and Han-deul visit her. She’s a tarot reader (of course she is) and the cards say: the policy will succeed, but not without bumps.

She confesses she still loves her husband, Hyeon-jae, but he’s never around — the man’s off chasing nature as a wildlife photographer. The only clue? He’s somewhere in Gorangae, looking for South Korea’s only tiger.

Naturally, they decide to track him down. Because why not?

Team Ki-jun, Han-deul, and Ah-yeong show up in the village where the head farmer is… dancing? Oh no. It’s Woong-sik again, shaking his tail feather and declaring fate has brought them together.

To split up, he slyly volunteers to search the village with Ah-yeong (smooth), while Han-deul and Ki-jun hike into the woods.

Cue bickering, dragging, and one extremely winded Ki-jun who cannot keep up with Han-deul’s enthusiasm. As the sun sets, rain starts pouring. He throws his jacket over her head and they run together — her heart fluttering hard.

Is it love? Is it hypothermia? Who knows.

Lost in the forest, soaked and tired, the mood shifts. They hear something rustling behind them…

And then?

BAM. A tiger.
Yes. The. Actual. South. Korean. Tiger.

End of episode.

“Tigers, Tarot, and the 0% Soulmate Theory”

Episode 6 of The Divorce Insurance may have started with a literal tiger, but it quickly shifted into emotional minefields, romantic confessions, and the slowest, sweetest burn between two people who are very clearly falling for each other. If you weren’t already invested in these messy, lovable characters, this episode probably sealed the deal.

We pick up where we left off: Ki-jun and Han-deul facing down South Korea’s only tiger. Just when you think this show can’t top itself, Hyeon-jae — Mi-rae’s elusive photographer husband — shows up, not to save them with logic or weapons, but with... a laser pointer. And somehow it works? Sort of. Mostly they just run like hell.

Once they’re safe, Hyeon-jae drops a bomb: he has no idea Mi-rae wants to divorce him. This man is so conflict-avoidant he probably thinks ghosts are just shy roommates. But Han-deul and Ki-jun convince him it’s time to face the music — or at least his wife.

Jeon-man and Na-rae arrive too, and she immediately starts judging Ki-jun’s decision-making. No one really wants her there, but Jeon-man steps up and says she should stay. Woong-sik, still trying to get some alone time with Ah-yeong, attempts to pair everyone off, only for Jeon-man to sabotage his plan (heroic).

That night:

  • Jeon-man asks Ki-jun if he still has feelings for Na-rae. Ki-jun admits it hurt, but he’s moved on.

  • Jeon-man? Not so sure Na-rae has.

  • Ki-jun tells him to stop playing it safe — a very “bro, take the shot” moment.

Meanwhile, Na-rae flat-out asks Han-deul if she likes Ki-jun (bold). Han-deul uses knitting as a metaphor — because of course she does — and basically says she’s going to pursue him. Na-rae decides he’s not worth it for her anyway. So that triangle? Softly folding away.

While Dae-bok steps out, someone sneaks into his office and accesses files about the insurance policy. Something shady’s brewing, and it smells like corporate theft.

The next morning starts with Na-rae grilling Ki-jun about his relationship with Han-deul. He dodges. Tension builds — until Woong-sik disarms everyone with his cooking skills. Cabbage king strikes again.

Mi-rae finally arrives. But instead of reconciling, she’s annoyed that her husband cares more about tigers than her. Han-deul pushes back and opens the floodgates: Mi-rae admits she just doesn’t want to be alone. Hyeon-jae, in turn, confesses that he always wanted her to acknowledge him — and she did. On the day they met.

They reconnect, but it’s shaky. So Ki-jun suggests... a vow renewal ceremony. Of course. Na-rae tries to stop him, but this time his impulsiveness works.

The whole village gets roped in. Tailors give sage advice. Woong-sik leads the ceremony with an oddly touching speech on resilience. The couple says “I do” again, and suddenly, their relationship has a second wind.

Han-deul, though? Feels a little lonely amid all the love. Ki-jun notices.

At the post-ceremony party:

  • Na-rae gets pulled into a dance and looks like she might combust from embarrassment.

  • Jeon-man joins her with goofy moves and the most awkward charm ever. It works.

Meanwhile, Mi-rae and Hyeon-jae share a quiet moment. He confesses she gave him the strength to go on when they met on a hike. It’s sincere, simple, and just lovely.

Na-rae gets overwhelmed and Jeon-man whisks her away to a nearby hotel. Nothing happens — separate rooms and nervous energy — but in the morning, she gives the three-star stay a five-star rating. Jeon-man beams. Baby steps.

Han-deul and Ki-jun end their day at a convenience store, sipping drinks and bonding like only two emotionally constipated people can. She admits the tarot card reading wasn’t about the policy. He’s curious, but she keeps it a secret — for now.

They laugh, play with an old payphone, and Ki-jun calls his future self to say: “Don’t forget this day.” Cute? Extremely.

On the ride back to the city, the conversation shifts to soulmates. Han-deul doesn’t believe in them. Ki-jun says the probability isn’t zero.

Then, completely casual, he turns to her and says:

“Come live with me. Our chances are more than 0%.”

Mic drop. Episode over.

Opinion of The Divorce Insurance (2025)

From Tigers to Tarot and That Not-So-Subtle “Move In With Me” Line

Okay, so The Divorce Insurance is officially unhinged — and I mean that in the best possible way. Episodes 5 and 6 took us from being chased by a tiger in the woods to slow-burn romance, vow renewals, shady corporate espionage, and the softest, most unexpected love confessions. I came for the satire, but now I’m staying for the feels.

Let’s talk about it.


🐅 Episode 5: “Yes, That’s a Real Tiger”

Honestly, how many dramas can say they threw a tiger into the plot midway through a romantic hike? Ki-jun and Han-deul’s great outdoors adventure turns into an adrenaline-fueled sprint when South Korea’s only tiger makes a surprise cameo — and somehow, it totally fits. This show thrives on absurd setups with emotional payoffs.

And then, boom — emotional gut punch. Hyeon-jae, Mi-rae’s husband and professional nature photographer, had no clue she wanted a divorce. Their lack of communication is painfully real. Enter Han-deul and Ki-jun as reluctant love counselors, trying to fix a marriage to save their insurance product. The stakes are bizarre but weirdly moving.

Also, can we talk about Woong-sik? He keeps showing up like fate’s very own mascot. This man farms, dances, owns buildings, and hands out cabbages like love letters. His one-sided thing with Ah-yeong is chaotic, but I’m kind of rooting for him?


💍 Vow Renewals, Village Ceremonies & Emotional Payphones

Ki-jun organizing a spontaneous vow renewal ceremony? Classic him. Wildly impulsive, but somehow it works. The entire village joins in, speeches are made, tears are shed, and it becomes this genuinely sweet moment. But what got me was Han-deul’s quiet sadness in the middle of it all — the way she smiled for the couple but looked like she wanted that moment for herself. And Ki-jun noticed. Ugh.

Also: Jeon-man and Na-rae lowkey becoming a thing?? I wasn’t expecting it, but the weird tension, awkward dances, and “separate rooms but maybe not for long” vibes? I’m into it. She even gave a three-star hotel five stars. Growth.


📞 Episode 6: “More Than 0%” (a.k.a. I’m Not Okay)

This episode was all about quiet progress. The loud moments? Hilarious. But it’s the subtle ones that hit hard.

  • Han-deul and Ki-jun talking at a convenience store and playing with a payphone like teenagers? Adorable.

  • Ki-jun calling his future self to remember that night?? Who gave him permission to be that soft??

  • And then, that ending:

    “Do you believe in soulmates?”
    “The probability isn’t 0%.”
    “Move in with me.”

SIR???

My jaw hit the floor. The way he just says it, completely straightforward, no dramatic music, no cheesy lighting — just that quiet, meaningful tone that says: “I like being around you. Let’s see what happens.” I melted.


👀 Other Thoughts:

  • Mi-rae and Hyeon-jae’s reconciliation was surprisingly deep — her loneliness, his obliviousness, and the way they finally see each other again? Beautiful.

  • Jeon-man is slowly becoming the underrated MVP of the show. His goofy charm and awkward decency are just too good.

  • The mystery around the flyer complaint and office break-ins? It’s heating up. Jeong-sin is clearly up to something, and I’m ready for the corporate drama twist.


Final Verdict:
Episodes 5 and 6 hit every mark. Romance? Check. Comedy? Check. Emotional growth, corporate sabotage, cabbage gifting, and a tiger? Check, check, check, and check.

If you told me a drama about divorce insurance would become one of the most emotionally rich and charming shows of the year, I wouldn’t have believed you. But here we are — rooting for slow-burn love, corporate survival, and one man’s dream to finish his sister’s final knitting project.

Bring on Episode 7. I’m all in.
