Lee Min Jung and Kim Ji Suk Drama Sets August Premiere With Expanded Cast

Lee Min Jung and Kim Ji Suk’s upcoming drama Fine, Let’s Get Divorced has confirmed an August 19 premiere, setting up a late-summer Korean drama centered on marriage, work, and the painful negotiations that follow when a couple decides their relationship can no longer continue as it once did.

The series follows Baek Mi Young and Ji Won Ho, a married couple who operate a wedding dress shop together. The premise immediately creates an emotional contrast: two people whose livelihood is built around ceremonies of commitment are forced to confront the collapse of their own marriage. Rather than framing divorce only as a dramatic rupture, the story is positioned as a realistic journey through fatigue, disappointment, lingering attachment, and the practical ties that keep couples connected even after love becomes difficult.

Lee Min Jung will play Baek Mi Young, the CEO of G&White. Her character is described as someone who rebuilt her life through work after losing her parents in a tragic accident. She later found warmth and joy through Ji Won Ho, whom she married after their romance deepened. By the seventh year of the marriage, however, pressure from both the business and her private life has become overwhelming enough for her to ask for a divorce.

Kim Ji Suk stars opposite her as Ji Won Ho, co-CEO of G&White and a wedding dress designer. Ji Won Ho fell for Baek Mi Young quickly and proposed after six months, believing marriage would allow him to make her happy. The drama’s conflict begins when that hope collides with daily reality, years of unresolved tension, and Mi Young’s decision to end the relationship.

A Divorce Story Set Inside a Wedding Business

The wedding dress shop setting gives the drama a pointed structure. G&White is not just a workplace but a symbol of the couple’s shared history, reputation, and public image. Every client and gown can remind the leads of the ideal they once promised each other, while the demands of running the company may make separation more complicated than a private breakup.

The story also adds pressure from the couple’s past. Lee Hyun Jin will appear as Calvin, Baek Mi Young’s first love and former boyfriend. Now the CEO of Calvin Hotel, he reenters Mi Young’s life after years apart and chooses to remain near her because he wants to support her happiness. His return is expected to unsettle the central marriage and add a romantic complication that reaches beyond a simple love triangle.

Lee Jini joins the cast as Ahn Hee Joo, a stylish Gen Z photographer from a wealthy background. Her life changes after an unexpected meeting with Ji Won Ho in Milan, and fate brings them together again later. As she begins to view him as a dependable figure, her growing feelings introduce another emotional thread around Won Ho’s loneliness, need for validation, and confusion as his marriage begins to fall apart.

Supporting Characters Add Legal and Workplace Tension

Oh Yeon Ah will play Jeon Chi Hyun, a competitive lawyer attempting to revive her professional standing by taking on Baek Mi Young’s divorce case. The character replaces an earlier casting announcement for the role and appears designed to bring legal strategy, pride, and personal ambition into the divorce process. Her presence suggests the drama will examine not only the couple’s emotions but also the procedural side of ending a marriage.

Jung Eui Jae will portray Kang Kyung Tae, Ji Won Ho’s close junior and trusted friend. Their bond is expected to bring a warmer, more personal dimension to Won Ho’s side of the story, giving the character someone who knows his history and can respond to the parts of him he may not show publicly. Wang Bit Na will play Song Ah Ri, G&White’s manager and Baek Mi Young’s college classmate. As a single mother who has already been divorced for two years, Song Ah Ri offers a perspective shaped by experience rather than theory.

Together, the expanded cast points to a drama built around intersecting forms of pressure: unresolved first love, new attraction, workplace loyalty, friendship, legal risk, and the expectations attached to marriage. The central question is not only whether Baek Mi Young and Ji Won Ho will separate, but how they will understand the years they spent together and the identities they built around being a couple.

Fine, Let’s Get Divorced is scheduled to premiere on August 19 at 11 p.m. KST. With Lee Min Jung and Kim Ji Suk leading a story that mixes romance, workplace drama, and the realities of separation, the series is positioned as a character-driven addition to the year’s Korean drama lineup.
