‘Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell’ A couple who are prickly will appear.

‘Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell’, which will be aired on the afternoon of the 9th, will feature a wife who is hurt by her husband who is overly honest and a husband who claims that empty words are hypocrisy, a ‘Prickly Couple’. The couple said that they decided to get married in just a week because they could communicate so well when they were dating. The wife said, “One of us has to give up for this to end,” and that they have become more distant than others now. The wife, who was on the edge of a cliff, knocked on the door of Oh Eun-young Report for the last time. The husband also said that he wants to find the right answer to this married life. What difficulties are the couple facing?

The wife has been running a patbingsu shop for 1 year and 2 months since early August 2023. This is a special store that her father-in-law set up for her daughter, who was worried about her husband‘s income, by giving her retirement funds. The wife diligently starts work at 7 AM on the day she prepares the ingredients. It takes a whopping 6 hours just to get 3kg of soaked red beans. In addition to preparing the ingredients, she prepared for business without resting, from cleaning to organizing the store, but she never saw any customers. The wife says that during the peak season, summer, her monthly income is 2.5 to 3 million won, but most of the year, except for one summer, she runs a deficit.



The husband is currently unhappy with his wife’s store operation. Not only is it running a deficit, but his biggest complaint is that there is no one to take care of the children due to the absence of adults in the family. The husband sighs deeply as soon as he gets home and heads straight to his wife‘s store. The couple recently got into a heated argument about the wife’s store income and the husband‘s salary. The husband exploded when his wife used the informal language of “your money” while arguing about whose money each of them earned. The wife was afraid to even look at her husband’s face after seeing him slam the desk in anger. The wife even visited a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with depression. On the other hand, the husband said that they only had a conflict during an argument, and he couldn’t understand why he was being branded a bad person. The husband even made Dr. Oh Eun-young and the MCs flustered when he saw his wife criticizing him during a pre-meeting with the production team and handed her divorce papers, saying that he had decided to break up. He decided to appear in the show to resolve the conflict, but he ended up writing the divorce papers because of the pre-meeting. Will this couple be able to find common ground through counseling with Dr. Oh Eun-young?

The father-in-law visits his daughter’s house for the first time in a long time. The father-in-law and son-in-law look awkward. The wife says that what she went through is a problem, but what her father and husband went through is more upsetting. Last September, when business was not going well, the father-in-law asked his son-in-law about his thoughts on running the store. The husband said, “Honestly, I think you’re doing a foolish thing,” and stabbed his father-in-law in the heart with words. The wife said that those words left a deep wound on her and that she felt resentful at her husband’s straightforward speech.



The father-in-law, who was trying to resolve the grudge with his son-in-law, started talking about something that had upset him. When she expressed her resentment about the behavior that had caused the grudge, the husband suddenly made a puzzled expression and started laughing. The father-in-law told his son-in-law not to be sarcastic about his laughter and became serious. She even confessed honestly that it felt like her son-in-law was ignoring her, but when her husband did not accept it, their emotions gradually intensified and they began to have a rough conversation. The husband said that he could not say anything and did not want to. Even if the other person is upset, I think that speaking your mind is honest and unpretentious. On the other hand, the wife and father-in-law think that manners are necessary in conversation by at least showing minimal consideration in a packaging manner. The husband and wife’s way of thinking about beating around the bush were at odds. The husband, who got excited because of the heated conversation, ended up saying something that led to a breakdown. The MCs were shocked by the husband‘s remarks, saying that even the viewers felt stressed when they heard this conversation. Dr. Oh Eun-young, who was closely observing the situation, asked a sharp question, asking if she could talk about the essence of the problem very coolly. She aroused the curiosity of the viewers by saying that there are many difficulties that the couple has to overcome. What kind of healing report would solve the communication problems that occur in a ’bitchy couple‘?



A husband who only spits out sharp, thorny words and a wife who wants warm understanding. Can the marital conflict that has persisted for 13 years be resolved? Dr. Oh Eun-young’s healing report for the ‘Stingy Couple’ can be seen on the 102nd episode of ‘Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell’ today (the 9th), Monday at 10:30 PM.
