In ‘Hani Gyeol’, Jung Dae-se and Myung Seo-hyun meet with an expert and receive formal couples counseling.
In the 13th episode of MBN‘s ‘Decision to Divorce Once’ (hereafter ‘Hani Gyeol’), which airs on the 13th (Sunday) at 10 PM, Jung Dae-se and Myung Seo-hyun, who are ‘in their 11th year of marriage’, visit a psychiatrist to receive couples counseling, seeking advice on the ‘in-law conflict’ that has been a struggle for them for a long time.
The two previously shocked viewers by revealing the story of how they virtually cut ties with Jung Tae-se’s Japanese family due to ‘in-law conflict’. Here, the two go to a psychiatrist for couples counseling to untangle their long-standing emotional entanglement. First, Myeong Seo-hyun, who entered into ‘1:1 individual counseling’, recalls her ‘mother-in-law relationship’ that was rocky from the start, saying, “After we started dating, about 4 months had passed when Dae-se‘s mother called us and we met for the first time”.

Myeong Seo-hyun mentions the questions that Jeong Dae-se’s mother asked her at the time, saying, “At the time, I had to kneel in front of my mother-in-law and was pressured for 2 hours during an interview”. Everyone in the studio gapes at the mother-in-law‘s aggressive questions, and Jung Tae-se, who heard his wife’s words for the first time in the studio, is flustered, saying, “I didn‘t know that story at all” and “I thought my mother would only say good things.”

On the other hand, Jung Tae-se partially agrees with what his wife says, but says, “My mother also suffered from being ostracized by her in-laws in the past. That’s why my family completely cut ties with my father‘s family,” and talks about his mother’s loneliness and wounds. He then says, “I think my mother became very negative due to the wounds of living with her in-laws at the time,” and asks for people to understand her.
The story of Myung Seo-hyun‘s mother-in-law conflict that shocked the studio and the experts who heard about their marital problems are stimulating curiosity about what advice they will give.Lee Seul-bi, Donga.com reporter misty82@donga.com
