More about the plot and characters of Sacred Divorce.

Leading the star studded cast of JTBC’s eagerly anticipated K-drama Sacred Divorce is Cho Seung-woo. Sisyphus: The Myth’s star will bring the male protagonist Shin Sung-han to the screen. Sung-han earned a degree in piano performance and went on to teach at a music university in Germany.

However, he is exposed to terrible information one day, which prompts him to return to South Korea. There, he begins studying to become a lawyer so that he may learn the truth about what happened. After some time, he decides to pursue a career in law and becomes a divorce attorney.

Due to the experiences he had throughout his youth, he made the decision to focus his career on the field of divorce law.

As he continues to do this, he gets closer and closer to the truth that he has been looking for.

Starring opposite him in Sacred Divorce is veteran actress Han Hye-jin. Han Hye-jin will portray the character of Lee Seo-jin, a weather forecaster turned DJ. Seo-jin will meet Shin Sung-han after she gets embroiled in a divorce proceeding which has aggravated to an issue regarding custody.
