OK! Let’s Get Divorced (그래, 이혼하자) has arrived with a premise that practically turns the usual K-drama marriage fantasy on its head. The 12-episode series follows Baek Mi-young and Ji Won-ho, a married power couple who built the luxury bridal business G&White together, only to discover that creating beautiful weddings for other people is considerably easier than keeping their own marriage intact. With divorce lawyers, rival partners, workplace politics and seven years of unresolved frustration thrown into the mix, it is hardly surprising that viewers are already searching for shows with the same combination of romance, marital drama and sharp comedy.
The series, which premieres on 19 August 2026, has also divided viewers in an interesting way. Some are enjoying the irony of a couple surrounded by wedding dresses while actively trying to end their marriage, while others are more interested in the increasingly chaotic legal and emotional battle between the leads.
Either way, the central appeal is clear: this is not a simple romance about whether two people will fall in love. It is about what happens when two people who already loved each other have to work out whether there is anything left to save.
If that mix of complicated marriages, exes who refuse to stay in the past, workplace tension, legal sparring and second chances is exactly what you are after, these 19 K-dramas should be next on your watchlist. Some lean towards comedy, others go considerably darker, but all share enough DNA with OK! Let’s Get Divorced to make the transition surprisingly easy.
Shows Like OK! Let’s Get Divorced
1. Queen of Tears (2024)
Queen of Tears is probably the most obvious recommendation for anyone hooked on the troubled power-couple dynamic in OK! Let’s Get Divorced. The drama follows Hong Hae-in, an heiress running a major department store empire, and Baek Hyun-woo, the accomplished lawyer who married into her wealthy family. On paper, they have everything that should make a marriage enviable; behind closed doors, however, they are barely holding their relationship together.
What makes it such a strong match is the contrast between public glamour and private exhaustion. Like Mi-young and Won-ho, the central couple have built an impressive life while quietly drifting apart emotionally.
The difference is that Queen of Tears wraps its marital crisis in a more sweeping romantic melodrama, while OK! Let’s Get Divorced appears more interested in the messy practical consequences of actually deciding to walk away.
2. Strangers Again (2023)
If the lawyers in OK! Let’s Get Divorced are one of the parts you are enjoying most, Strangers Again should move straight to the top of the list. The series centres on Oh Ha-ra and Goo Eun-beom, two divorce lawyers who were once married and are forced to work together after their relationship ends.
The similarity is almost suspiciously convenient. You get professional rivalry, unresolved feelings, sarcastic exchanges and two people attempting to behave like perfectly rational adults while their shared history keeps getting in the way. Much like Jeon Chi-hyun and Bae Su-ji, the legal world becomes more than background decoration, with courtroom expertise and personal grudges constantly colliding.
3. Matrimonial Chaos (2018)
Matrimonial Chaos takes the idea of a marriage falling apart and removes much of the glossy packaging. Jo Seok-moo and Kang Hwi-roo have been married for several years, but their personalities and expectations have become increasingly incompatible.
Eventually, they decide that divorce might be the sensible answer, only to discover that ending a relationship is considerably more complicated than announcing the decision.
This is one of the closest matches for the realistic side of OK! Let’s Get Divorced. Both dramas are interested in what happens after romantic idealism disappears and couples are forced to confront communication problems, resentment and the habits that have quietly damaged their relationship. It can be funny, awkward and painfully recognisable, sometimes all within the same scene.
4. Cunning Single Lady (2014)
Cunning Single Lady gives the divorce-and-workplace formula a much lighter and more mischievous spin. Na Ae-ra divorces her husband Cha Jung-woo when their financial struggles become too much to handle, only to discover later that he has become a successful technology entrepreneur.
Naturally, Ae-ra does not simply shrug and move on. She ends up working at his company, bringing old resentment, pride and unresolved feelings straight into the office.
That professional collision makes it particularly suitable for viewers who enjoy the idea of G&White becoming an accidental battlefield for Mi-young and Won-ho. It also understands that an ex can become significantly more annoying when they are sitting across the office rather than safely out of your life.
5. Go Back Couple (2017)
Go Back Couple follows Ma Jin-joo and Choi Ban-do, a married couple whose relationship has deteriorated under the pressure of work, money and everyday life. Just as they reach breaking point, they somehow find themselves transported back to their university days.
Its biggest connection to OK! Let’s Get Divorced is the examination of how a relationship can collapse without one dramatic event being solely responsible. Small disappointments accumulate, communication disappears and two people who once understood each other begin living like strangers.
The time-travel element makes the story more playful, but underneath it is a surprisingly thoughtful look at regret and whether people can recognise what they had before it is too late.
6. Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) (2021–2022)
For viewers who want the marriage drama turned up several notches, Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) is the obvious choice. The series follows three successful women whose apparently stable marriages begin falling apart as secrets and complicated relationships emerge.
It is considerably more melodramatic than OK! Let’s Get Divorced, but the shared appeal lies in its focus on marriages that look perfectly respectable from the outside while becoming increasingly unstable behind closed doors. The presence of outside relationships and shifting loyalties also echoes the complications created by Calvin and Ahn Hee-joo in the new K-drama.
7. The Divorce Insurance (2025)
The Divorce Insurance takes the subject of separation and gives it a distinctly workplace-comedy treatment. The story follows Noh Ki-joon, an insurance professional who becomes fascinated by the idea of creating a product designed around divorce, bringing together an unusual team to develop it.
The premise is different, but the tonal connection with OK! Let’s Get Divorced is strong. Both dramas take something traditionally treated with solemnity and find humour in the absurdity surrounding it.
There is also plenty of workplace chemistry, complicated personal history and the recurring realisation that relationships are much harder to calculate than they look on paper.
8. Familiar Wife (2018)
Familiar Wife stars Ji Sung and Han Ji-min as a married couple whose relationship has become strained after years of financial pressure, exhaustion and misunderstandings. One extraordinary event gives the husband the opportunity to experience a completely different version of his life, including a different marriage.
Like OK! Let’s Get Divorced, the drama asks whether relationship problems are really caused by the wrong person or by the choices people make once everyday life becomes difficult.
Its fantasy element allows the story to explore regret and second chances, while the emotional core remains grounded in a couple who have forgotten how to understand one another.
9. Emergency Couple (2014)
Emergency Couple begins with a divorced couple who unexpectedly reunite while working as medical interns. Oh Jin-hee and Oh Chang-min thought they had left their marriage behind, but suddenly having to work together makes that rather difficult.
The workplace setting makes this another particularly entertaining companion to OK! Let’s Get Divorced. Instead of rival co-CEOs running a bridal business, you have former spouses trying to survive the same demanding environment while their colleagues watch the tension unfold. Old feelings, irritation and unfinished business inevitably return, because apparently some exes simply refuse to remain archived.
10. VIP (2019)
VIP takes the breakdown of a seemingly polished marriage into a more serious workplace drama. Na Jung-sun works for an elite department store team alongside her husband Park Sung-joon, and their professional lives initially appear as carefully controlled as their marriage.
That illusion begins to collapse when Jung-sun discovers information that makes her question everything she thought she knew about her husband.
Like OK! Let’s Get Divorced, it uses an affluent professional environment as a backdrop for a relationship in crisis. The contrast between immaculate workplaces and increasingly messy private lives is particularly effective.
11. The Lady in Dignity (2017)
The Lady in Dignity follows women living within an extraordinarily wealthy family, where status, marriage and family expectations are constantly intertwined. At the centre is Woo Ah-jin, whose luxurious life begins to unravel as her husband's behaviour and family complications threaten the carefully constructed world around her.
It shares OK! Let’s Get Divorced's fascination with wealthy characters whose glamorous surroundings do little to guarantee emotional stability. There is also plenty of social manoeuvring, family conflict and relationship drama, making it ideal for viewers who enjoy their marriage stories with expensive interiors and absolutely no shortage of problems.
12. Mine (2021)
Mine focuses on two women married into an enormously wealthy family who begin challenging the expectations and restrictions surrounding their lives. Seo Hee-soo and Jung Seo-hyun each have very different relationships with the family and gradually find themselves questioning the world they have built.
The connection with OK! Let’s Get Divorced comes through its exploration of marriage, wealth, reputation and the pressure to maintain a perfect public image. Both dramas understand the irony of beautiful surroundings hiding relationships that are anything but beautiful. If the G&White setting has you fascinated, Mine offers another glossy world where appearances rarely tell the complete story.
13. My Dangerous Wife (2020)
My Dangerous Wife centres on Shim Jae-kyung and Kim Yoon-cheol, a married couple whose seemingly ordinary relationship becomes increasingly mysterious and unpredictable. What begins as a story about an unhappy marriage quickly develops into a much more elaborate game of suspicion and strategy.
It is a less conventional recommendation, but fans of OK! Let’s Get Divorced may appreciate the way both dramas refuse to treat marriage as a straightforward romantic endpoint. Here, marriage is an ongoing negotiation involving trust, secrets and power. The big difference is that this one is far more interested in keeping viewers guessing about what is actually happening.
14. The World of the Married (2020)
The World of the Married follows Ji Sun-woo, a successful doctor whose apparently perfect marriage begins to collapse when she discovers that her husband has been hiding major secrets. Her carefully ordered life rapidly becomes a battle over trust, family and the future.
This is the choice for viewers who want the emotional consequences of marital breakdown without the lighter tone found in parts of OK! Let’s Get Divorced. Both series explore the damage caused when a couple stops communicating honestly, while also examining how a relationship can become entangled with social status, work and the expectations of those around them.
15. One the Woman (2021)
One the Woman follows Jo Yeon-joo, a sharp prosecutor who becomes entangled with a wealthy family after an accident leaves her mistaken for a woman who looks exactly like her. Suddenly she finds herself inside a world of money, family politics and a marriage that is far less straightforward than it appears.
While the central premise is much more comedic and chaotic than OK! Let’s Get Divorced, the shared appeal comes from wealthy-family drama, sharp female characters and relationships complicated by status and expectations. It is also considerably more playful, making it useful when you want the family politics without spending every episode staring into the emotional abyss.
16. My Liberation Notes (2022)
My Liberation Notes is quieter than OK! Let’s Get Divorced, but its exploration of emotional exhaustion makes it a worthwhile companion. The series follows three siblings struggling with the monotony and frustrations of adult life, with Yeom Mi-jeong in particular searching for a way to escape the emotional emptiness surrounding her.
The connection is less about divorce itself and more about the central question of what happens when people become trapped in lives that no longer feel meaningful. Like Mi-young, several characters are forced to confront what they actually want rather than continuing to perform the version of adulthood everyone expects from them.
17. The Beauty Inside (2018)
The Beauty Inside centres on Han Se-gye, a famous actress who periodically wakes up in a completely different body, and Seo Do-jae, a man who struggles to recognise faces. Their unusual circumstances make a conventional relationship extremely difficult.
Although it is far more romantic than OK! Let’s Get Divorced, the drama shares an interest in how relationships survive when appearances and expectations become unreliable. It also plays with the difference between the polished public image people present and the complicated reality underneath, which fits neatly beside G&White's glamorous world.
18. Misty (2018)
Misty follows Go Hye-ran, an ambitious television news anchor whose carefully maintained professional life begins to collide with serious problems in her marriage to lawyer Kang Tae-wook. Their relationship is complicated by ambition, resentment and the question of whether the couple still understand each other.
The similarity with OK! Let’s Get Divorced lies in the marriage between two highly driven professionals who are struggling to separate their personal relationship from the pressures of their careers. It is considerably more intense and serious, but if the combination of ambition, marriage and professional rivalry appeals to you, Misty is an excellent next stop.
19. Was It Love? (2020)
Was It Love? follows Noh Ae-jung, a single mother who has spent years focusing on raising her daughter, before four very different men suddenly re-enter her life. What follows is a romantic comedy filled with old connections, complicated feelings and the possibility of starting again.
It is not a direct match for the divorce-centred premise of OK! Let’s Get Divorced, but it shares the same interest in adults carrying emotional history into new relationships. The story also understands that romance becomes much messier once characters have careers, responsibilities and plenty of baggage. In other words, nobody gets to simply fall in love and call it a day.
The appeal of OK! Let’s Get Divorced ultimately comes from the fact that it treats marriage as something much more complicated than a happy ending. Baek Mi-young and Ji Won-ho are not strangers wondering whether they should date; they are two people who have already built a business, a home and years of memories together, and now have to decide what happens when that shared life stops working. That makes the dramas above useful for different reasons, whether you want more legal sparring, workplace chaos, emotional healing, wealthy-family drama or simply another K-drama where two people insist they are finished with each other and then spend another 10 episodes proving otherwise. Which one would you put at the top of your watchlist, and which K-drama do you think deserves a place on this list?
