🎬 Episode 2 Recap: The Risk of Love and the Math Behind Marriage

🔍 Data vs. Emotion: The Team Splits on Strategy

The episode opens with Jeon Na-rae (Lee Da-hee), now leading the task force, demanding hard data to model divorce like an actuarial risk. She’s laser-focused on numbers and trends. But Kang Han-deul (Lee Joo-bin), fresh from her own divorce, argues that people won’t buy divorce insurance for statistics—they’ll buy it for emotional peace of mind.

Noh Ki-jun (Lee Dong-wook) surprisingly backs Han-deul, causing low-key tension with Na-rae, his ex-wife and former intellectual equal. An Jeon-man (Lee Kwang-soo), Ki-jun’s awkward best friend and the team’s risk surveyor, tries to stay neutral but mostly adds to the confusion with his jittery antics.

🧘 Temple Talks and Poetic Pain

To gather “real data,” Ki-jun skips spreadsheets and brings Han-deul to a mountaintop temple, insisting that stories, not stats, hold the truth about why marriages fail. There, we meet a monk revealed to be one of Ki-jun’s ex-wives—played by Jo Bo-ah in a delightful cameo.

Their peaceful parting—she left to pursue spirituality, he let her go without resentment—gives Han-deul a new perspective. Under the stars, Ki-jun recites a poem called The Funeral of Words, hinting at unspoken grief and deeper emotional scars. Their chemistry simmers, but both remain guarded.

💻 Café Chaos and Karaoke Power Moves

While that duo goes deep, Na-rae and Jeon-man attempt a more traditional research route—at an internet café. But Jeon-man gets lost in Reddit-style divorce forums, giggling at gossip while Na-rae fumes in frustration.

Back at HQ, the team reshapes the insurance product to include couples’ bonding services, a unique twist aimed at reducing divorce risk before it starts. They pitch this angle to the board, hoping for greenlight.

🎳 Bowling Rivalries and Office Tensions

To blow off steam, the team heads to a bowling alley—where emotions resurface. Ki-jun helps Han-deul with her form, prompting a clearly jealous Na-rae to demand her own lesson. A playful but tense match (Na-rae & Jeon-man vs. Ki-jun & Han-deul) leaves Na-rae visibly annoyed as Ki-jun celebrates with Han-deul.

Later at karaoke, Na-rae offers Jeon-man a ride—not-so-subtly trying to ruffle Ki-jun. But Ki-jun already has plans to leave with Han-deul, brushing off the jab with a smile.

📈 A Boardroom Challenge: 30 Policies, 3 Days, Zero Failures

The board finally sets harsh conditions:

• Sell 30 policies in 3 days
• Maintain a 0% divorce rate among clients for 6 months

Ki-jun proposes a wedding fair as their best shot—targeting anxious couples looking for reassurance. Na-rae, eyeing a promotion to the company’s China branch, pushes them to succeed quickly.

🎪 Wedding Fair Cliffhanger: Meet the Moms

The fair is packed. Their booth draws skeptics, romantics, and hesitant brides. Their first clients:

• A jittery bride-to-be
• Her groom’s overly involved mother
• The bride’s own mother

And just as contracts are about to be signed… the two moms lock eyes and recognize each other.

They were in-laws from a previous marriage—cue stunned silence and a cliffhanger worthy of Episode 3.
