Episode 8 of "The Divorce Insurance" kicks off with an almost electrifying moment as Ki-jun hesitates mere millimeters from Han-deul's lips, their hearts pounding in synchrony. The tension is palpable as he abruptly pulls away, leaving both breathless and disoriented. In a fluster, Ki-jun dashes off, eventually bumping into Na-rae in the elevator, who has come to attend to some matters of her own. They decide to take a coffee break, where she Na-rae inquisitively probes into his tangled dynamics with Han-deul. Na-rae, tired of being vague, expresses her preference for clear-cut answers, a revelation that signals her definitive move past Ki-jun.
Meanwhile, Jeon-man arrives unannounced at Ki-jun's apartment and is taken aback to find Han-deul there. Similarly intrigued by their relationship, Jeon-man is nevertheless pleased to witness Ki-jun finally dismantling his emotional barriers. As they prepare to depart, Jeon-man and Na-rae's paths cross, and he confidently declares that he doesn't need prior notice to share meals or drinks with her. Her face lights up with genuine delight.
Elsewhere, Seon-hee, visibly distressed and lost in contemplation, sits hunched over at the foot of the stairs. Dr. Park, noticing her distress, ushers her in abruptly. She retaliates by preparing unsalted food and snappishly instructing him to take charge of his own culinary needs. Both harbor regret but struggle to bridge the gap between them.
Elsewhere, Ki-jun and Han-deul find themselves on the phone, confessionally delving into their mutual fear of honesty and cowardice. She boldly proposes that they navigate towards a more ambiguous middle ground, suggesting that he learns more about her as a first step. They share a hopeful smile.
Outside, Jeon-man and Na-rae indulge in a boozy gossip session about Ki-jun and Han-deul's tumultuous situation. Na-rae confesses that her feelings towards Ki-jun were fueled more by spite than lingering affection. Jeon-man, overjoyed by this confession, strikes her as unexpectedly adorable. Together, they lost themselves in the rhythm of shared music.
Delving deeper into the Woo saga, Seon-hee crosses paths with Han-deul, unveiling her struggle with forgetting things. In the vicinity, Na-rae tries to reach out to VP Jeong, but he's absent, leaving her anxious about the Chinese branch. Her calls are abruptly ended as he's entangled in a meeting with Jeong-shin.
Meanwhile, Dae-bok shadows his wife, who harbors a passion for traveling. He attempts to orchestrate a Jeju getaway with her, but to his dismay, she's already there. Racked with guilt for his oversight, he berates himself.
Elsewhere, Ah-yeong and Woong-sik collaborate on planning his dance services for the policy, their conversation veering into disillusionment with marriage. Ah-yeong ponders the solitude of singledom, while Woong-sik reassures her that he can alleviate her loneliness and stand by her in times of need. Though touched, she finds his sentiments a bit corny. A sweet moment unfolds as she stumbles and he catches her in his arms.
Returning to the Woos' tale, Jeon-man and Han-deul accompany Dr. Park to Ms. Choi's abode. A sudden mishap occurs when the elderly man tumbles, prompting them to rush in to his aid. Eventually, a confrontation ignites, revealing the Woos' profound love for each other. However, Seon-hee's dementia diagnosis has driven her to insist on a divorce. Dr. Park is consumed by guilt, as she sold all her possessions to fund his education. Ironically, he was trying to repurchase her sewing machine from Ms. Choi.
Seon-hee openly acknowledges her condition, confessing to Han-deul that she doesn't want to hinder Dr. Park's vibrant life. This is the reason behind her divorce decision and her wish for the insurance money to benefit him. Han-deul persuades her that she's not a burden, leading to a reconciliation between the Woos.
However, one of Dr. Park's heartfelt desires for Seon-hee was to present her with a brand-new home. Yet, his hectic schedule never permitted him to lend a hand during their relocation. Fortunately, the insurance team stepped in as impromptu movers, sparking a series of comical escapades.
Amidst the packing chaos, they stumbled upon luxurious blankets that Dr. Park had thoughtfully acquired for his beloved wife. Additionally, they uncovered Seon-hee's intimate diary dedicated to Dr. Park, filled with cherished recipes and envelopes containing savings earmarked for future milestones such as birthdays and graduations. Evidently, Seon-hee was far from being a reckless spender; she had selflessly funneled her resources into the well-being of her family.
Dr. Park led Seon-hee to their new abode nestled on the ground floor, where her eyes sparkled with joy upon discovering her beloved sewing machine. A nostalgic flashback transported them back to their youthful days, when she diligently stitched aprons for sale while he immersed himself in his studies. Overwhelmed with guilt, he was reassured by her gentle words that he could repay her kindness once he achieved success. In the present, they pledged an eternal bond, vowing to share their lives forever.
As Seon-hee resumed her sewing, Dr. Park delved into the culinary delights described in her diary. The eighth episode of "The Divorce Insurance" culminated in a joyous team dinner, celebrating their remarkable 0% divorce rate. Jeon-man eagerly anticipated Na-rae's arrival, while Ki-jun's doting attention towards Han-deul garnered everyone's notice. Na-rae finally made her entrance with a bombshell announcement: the team was disbanding.
