To be honest without the regular cast it wouldn’t be worth watching . This show has alot to offer but if two main characters aren’t in it this will throw the entire show off. Off them more money 💰
Lee Tae Gon and Sung Hoon make Love/Divorce! Will NOT be the same. Producers better come up with more CASH!💰💰
They are two main character you need to keep them especially the doctor going lose wstchers
Lost me for sure. Lee Tae Gon was a big draw for me. Though I had no idea who he was prior to this series, his sincere portrayal of a complex character had me riveted. Loved Season 2 and its emphasis on his crumbling marriage, and was fascinated by how he was convinced of his love for his wife but either too lazy or self-serving to kick that vixen out of his house. Though I suppose with the direction the show was going, maybe it’s a good thing he bailed. Weird spirit possessions and little hope of winning back his ex doesn’t sit well with me.
This is pretty disappointing, they are two key people! Hope it’s still good because I love this show
It will NOT “be good” because 1-they are removing the two most famous and excellent actors, 2-these 2 actors have interpreted their characters brilliantly (specially LEE TAE GON), 3- at this stage of the Series (the FINAL Season) the audience is used, and readily relates, to the two characters as portrayed by THESE actors not any MALE actor will be the same. Perhaps the problem is not more money but the wish of the screenwriter to change the theme of the drama from one mature, well developed analysis of different types of triangle caused marriage problems and their effects on the families close to them to the apparently crazy events that SEASON 2 THREATENED! There is a name in Korean that describes those types of melodramas where emotions and reality are exaggerated but I cannot remember it right now. I would understand, this last being the possible resin, why these two famous and serious actors would not want to participate in that circus!
OMG! They were NOT “removed”. They are ACTORS…they had other projects already lined up! LMD should’ve ended at Season 2…and is should’ve ended better than it did! Season 3 “might” be a mess…but I’m still gonna watch! But yeah sure gonna miss those actors! Plus the actress who played Kin Dong Mi also not returning.
The show was getting a bit weird with the ghosts and all, but I’ve caught the first episode of Season 3 and decided to drop the show because (weirdness aside), Lee Tae Gon’s portrayal of the cheating psychiatrist was the biggest draw for me. Never heard of him before this series, but he did a riveting job. Like even with his actions (bubble bath scene had me screaming at my computer monitor), I still couldn’t hate his character and wished he and the ex could find a way to patch things up, which is so against my MO. Only other time I felt sympathy for a cheater was in Circle of Friends.
I love them!!! Bring them back!!!
There is something wrong with this article this drama is not produced by JTBC
Why???????? I don’t understand. Just no.
I will miss them both in the series. The way they carried their parts made it so believable and you felt the emotion. I hope the new actors can bring more to the table. I will miss both Lee Tae Gon and Song Hoon. Love you both
It will not be the same without them it’s silly to replace them so please don’t replace them!
Bring them back and give up the cash to them, they are original and main characters.
I agree. Both the best!,,
I will missed both them the drama will not be the same without the image of the of them but probably they have a good reason why they are not going to join them I respect what ever decision they make Hope and pray that everything will be ok love you both GOD bless
OHHHH NOOOOOOO! They MUST return! I cannot watch it without them!!!!! Great Drama!😭😭😭😭
If Lee Tae Gon doesn’t play his row in the third season then I feel like it would just be a waist of time to watch. He was the one I got so angry at for cheating on his wife and then tried to come up with all those lame excuses and reasons for her not to divorce him. She treated him like a king and had so much trust in him. I guess it bothered me so much cause I’ve been where she was. Just had to voice my opinion!
watching this show is not going to help you. this drama is just a fantasy. i felt better after getting counselling.
Why why why?!
What is the point for Season 3 without them both???!!!🤦🏻♀️😫
😭😭is not fun anymore
I wait for so long just for them
Why, they are such good actors, make absolutely no sense. #disappointed
Can you translate the OBS interview Sung Hoon gave this weeK? So many of us international fans would love to know what he said. There is a 6:33 question & answer segment that would be so interesting understand. I would also like to know more about Sung Hoon’s Burger King commercial?
Hello, Rose! We translated the OBS article just for you! Here is the link to the article – https://zapzee.net/2022/01/20/sung-hoon-talks-about-his-role-in-love-ft-marriage-and-divorce-his-new-drama-and-more/. I hope you find what you’re looking for in the post! (It has some information about Sung Hoon’s Burger King commercial.)
Thank you so much for your translation. I am really impressed with your site. Now I wish I could know more about Sung Hoon’s dance in the “emergency soup” commercial (March 2022). Is anyone writing about this? He is certainly an advertisers’ favorite, but having discovered Korean drama through Sung Hoon (Love Marriage Divorce), I’d love to see Sung Hoon get some really fantastic roles.
Thank you for the translation! I’m honored that you took the time to do this for a reader of your website. 🙂
Devastated by this. Both actors will be sorely missed by me. Watched first ep with new actors, so far okay but feel so let down. Lee Tae Gon was so charismatic he made this show and an incredible actor. So hard to understand the rationale around this. Disappointing.
Horrible decision to replace the 2 actors. Was so looking forward to 3rd season. Now I can’t even go past the 1st episode. What a disappointment!
We need the two actirs to bring back on the third season….please…
I was confused when I first was watching, glad I found this article. Yes, it is a major blow to the drama. Yet I will still be watching and hoping the other actors will make it just as good, already loving the way this older gentleman seems to be going.
Its very dissapointing that Lee Tae Gon and Sung Hoon are no longer in season 3. Lee Tae Gon is the reason I watched this series
OMG wrong decisions to replace all 3…just dont feel the same and chemistry la!!!
I just start with season 3 and all the sudden change in character making me don’t want to continue watching and here I am looking for answer why they change them 😒😒
Not impressed with the replacements they add nothing to this drama. I really enjoyed watching Lee Tae Gon. This is one of my favorite dramas I watch.
Storyline with the ghost going in and out of bodies is terrible
After seeing the first episode of the third season without those three brilliant actors, we were sooooo disappointed that decided not to continue watching the series. Two more viewers they are losing – who knows why…
