Rikon Shiyou Yo (2023)

Other name: 離婚しようよ, Rikon Shiyouyo, Let's Divorce, Let’s Divorce

Description:

"Rikon Shiyou Yo" follows a prominent lawmaker from a political family, whose five-year marriage to his popular actress wife is nothing more than a public performance. For the sake of their careers and public image, they project a perfect union, often appearing together on social media. However, behind closed doors, their relationship is completely broken; they rarely speak and live entirely separate lives within the same home.

Despite their mutual unhappiness and profound disillusionment, immediate divorce is not an option due to immense pressure from their families and lucrative endorsement contracts. With no other choice, this seemingly happily married couple must form an unlikely and strategic alliance. Their unshakeable, shared objective becomes clear: to meticulously plan and execute their own public and permanent separation. This compelling drama delves into the intricate and often absurd lengths people will go to dismantle a marriage under intense public scrutiny.
