SBS Life‘s ‘Roundtable Lawyers’ has brought on a tense atmosphere with shocking stories.

On the 6th episode of ‘Roundtable Lawyers’ on the 17th, the story of a divorced couple’s fierce conflict over custody, the wife‘s suspicion of infidelity, and the husband’s legal battle involving his paranoid psychopathy were revealed.

The first client was a 37-year-old woman with a 9-year-old son, who had given up custody after 7 years of marriage. Ten months ago, the client had no choice but to transfer custody to her husband in order to quickly provide stability to the child while going through a divorce. However, as time passed and the child‘s tic disorder and other conditions worsened, she wanted to regain custody.

The client claimed that her husband neglected the child. The child spent a lot of time alone, and as a result, the child did not receive proper protection even though he was at an age where he should be cared for. Furthermore, the conflict intensified as suspicions of abuse by the husband were revealed. Here, Tak Jae-hoon couldn’t hold back his anger, saying, “What kind of house is that?”, which drew sympathy from everyone.

At the end of the story, the client revealed that he was so confused that the child said that he thought the mom and dad fought because of him, and that he was considering giving up custody, which drew sighs. Lee Ji-hye deeply sympathized with the client‘s worries and said, “I think I’ll give it up for the child even though it‘s hard for me,” and shed tears, touching the hearts of viewers.

The second client was a 43-year-old man who had been married for 5 years and had a 3-year-old child. He suspected his wife of infidelity and filed a lawsuit for 50 million won in alimony against the other man. However, as the case progressed, the atmosphere changed as it was revealed that the problem was not the wife’s simple affair, but the husband‘s excessive obsession.

The wife, who had been popular before marriage, worked as a hotelier and often had to drink and work outside the office, and the husband would always ask her to “send me a picture of where you are.” In addition, the husband showed excessive obsession by calling and texting his wife to the point that it interfered with her work. Lee Ji-hye caught the attention of the viewers by saying, “This is delusional disorder.”

The three MCs and lawyers who heard the story, as well as the viewers, were shocked, and the case went in an unexpected direction. The husband installed recorders secretly throughout the house to illegally eavesdrop, and even secretly checked his wife’s underwear to reveal the fact that she had been having an affair. Even Lee Ji-hye, who was initially confident of winning the case, sympathized with her, saying, “I don‘t think your wife should live with the client.” Finally, Tak Jae-hoon left a big impression on the viewers by criticizing her husband’s hypochondria, saying, “Excessive obsession is a shortcut to ruin” and “This is not love.”

The two stories revealed in this broadcast show how much of a catastrophe a lack of communication can cause in a couple‘s relationship, and once again raise deep thoughts about the topic of marriage and divorce.

‘Lawyers of the Round Table’ is a divorce entertainment program that analyzes and solves stories based on actual divorce cases. It airs every Monday at 8:40 PM on SBS Life and SBS Plus.
