Kim Hak-rae and Im Mi-sook, who are on the verge of divorce number one, have finally found a way to resolve their conflict.

Episode 5 of JTBC ‘I Can’t Be Number 1 2 ‘, which aired on the 25th, showed Kim Hak-rae and Im Mi-sook visiting a counseling center to stop their long-running fight, as well as the daily lives of Jo Hyun-min and Choi Seol-ah engaging in an interior design battle.

The couple Sook-rae(Kim Hak-rae + Im Mi-sook), who have been in a cold war for three months, surprised everyone by still living separate lives under the same roof.From the front door lock battery to changing the light bulbs in the house, the two once again had conflicts due to their speed differences.Kim Dong-young, who had been watching his parents’ conflict, personally made an appointment at a couples counseling center and gave them a chance to restore their relationship through experts.

Professor Lee Ho-seon, a ‘counseling expert’ who looked at the test results of Kim Hak-rae and Im Mi-sook, said, “You can see that they are on completely opposite sides,” and identified the cause of the conflict between the two.Kim Hak-rae expressed his disappointment at his wife’s increasingly diminishing presence and her changed attitude.He expressed his doubts about Im Mi-sook’s point that she actively encouraged him to work at the comedy association in the past but now does not care about housework.

Im Mi-sook also said that Kim Hak-rae did not know that she had suffered from panic disorder for 10 years, and that she was upset by her husband’s indifferent attitude, and that all the housework was his, and she expressed her exhaustion by saying, “I want to let go now.” Professor Lee Ho-seon praised the life of his wife who protected her family with devotion instead of the title of woman, and Im Mi-sook burst into tears, which was heartbreaking.


After that, the Sook-rae couple started to work on a full-fledged solution, and Professor Lee Ho-sun said that Kim Hak-rae’s natural disposition was to be insensitive to other people’s emotions.Above all, he said that the fact that Im Mi-sook, who had been embracing everything, was tired was an emergency signal, and that it was the first crisis in their lives.As the Sook-rae couple learned about each other’s dispositions, they realized why they had fought so often, and they felt sorry for each other and found a clue to resolving the conflict.

Im Mi-sook expressed her wish, saying, “I wish Kim Hak-rae would call my name and say I’m pretty,” and Kim Hak-rae surprised her by saying, “Mi-sook, you’re pretty,” with affectionate eyes.Im Mi-sook also responded, “Why are you so cool, Hak-rae?” and smiled brightly.In particular, after finishing the consultation, they walked home holding hands affectionately, making us look forward to their future changes.

Next, while the daily lives of the couple Seolhyun(Jo Hyun-min + Choi Seol-ah)are depicted, Choi Seol-ah arouses interest by embarking on a project to change the interior of her house without Jo Hyun-min’s knowledge.Choi Seol-ah moved the bathtub in the bathroom to the living room, and on the living room wall, she engraved a picture of Jo Hyun-min’s face along with the strong phrase, “May you succeed.” In addition, she changed the sofa, bedding, and even the bedroom wall to a strong red color to wish for her husband’s success.

After arriving home and witnessing the changed scene in the house, Jo Hyun-min expressed his discomfort by saying, “Shouldn’t you be asking me?” and Choi Seol-ah couldn’t hide her embarrassment by saying, “I thought you would be touched.” Above all, Jo Hyun-min, who treasured his daughter’s first drawings on the living room wall, couldn’t hide his anger when even the drawings disappeared due to wallpaper.Choi Seol-ah tried her best to appease Jo Hyun-min by saying, “We could easily become the first to divorce.”

In the never-ending fight, Choi Seol-ah wore a dog mask and acted cute towards Jo Hyun-min.Jo Hyun-min burst out laughing, and Kwon Jae-kwan, who was watching in the studio, said, “The reason comedian couples don’t get divorced is because they each have a dog mask in their house,” which made everyone laugh.In particular, Choi Seol-ah had kept a picture of her daughter separately in advance, and upon learning this, Jo Hyun-min also dreamed of success, saying, “I’m going to move to a house with a bathtub,” and ended the episode on a warm note.
