'Divorce Insurance' ended with a humiliating rating of 1.1% after hitting 0% ratings.

According to Nielsen Korea, the ratings agency, the final episode (12th) of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Divorce Insurance', which aired the previous day, recorded a rating of 1.1% (based on paid platform subscribing households nationwide).

'Divorce Insurance' is a pure guarantee office romantic comedy that presents a divorce insurance product to cope with the hottest disaster of our time, divorce, by the innovative product development team of an insurance company filled with the best brains. No Gi-jun (Lee Dong-wook) and Kang Han-deul (Lee Joo-bin) portrayed a sweet romance, while An Seong-man (Lee Kwang-soo) and Jeon Na-rae (Lee Da-hee) boarded a flight to Singapore, depicting a happy ending.

With a cast of trusted actors including Lee Dong-wook, Lee Joo-bin, Lee Kwang-soo, and Lee Da-hee, and the witty direction of director Lee Won-seok, the fresh theme of divorce insurance attracted attention. However, after airing, the lack of progress in the romance and excessive explanations about divorce insurance ultimately led to viewers turning away.

'Divorce Insurance' started with a viewership rating of 3.2% and has been breaking its own record for the lowest ratings with each episode. In the 8th episode, it recorded the lowest rating for a tvN Monday-Tuesday drama since 'Half of Half' (2020), which had a rating of 1.1%.

Additionally, in the 11th episode, just one episode before the finale, it recorded a rating of 0.9%, marking its own lowest rating. It became the first tvN Monday-Tuesday drama to record a rating in the 0% range in 7 years since 'The Moment I Want to Stop: About Time' (2018).
