The hot keyword for MZ couples, ‘Half-and-Half Couple’, the ultimate show, is here.
On the 7th, the Tcast Drama Cube Original ‘The Ultimate Couple’ will tell the story of a couple who got married dreaming of a perfect half-and-half married life.
A couple who have been splitting Dutch since they were dating is the epitome of a half-and-half marriage. The man proposed a half-and-half marriage to the woman, and the woman agreed, saying, “Let‘s rent a house without asking our parents for help. Let’s make the wedding as simple as possible.”.
After getting married, the two created a shared living expenses account and split all food and utility costs half-and-half. They also split the housework equally and visit their parents half-and-half. The couple dreams of the world‘s most perfect half-and-half couple and draws a happy future.
The couple, who have already been married for a year, are continuing their happy married life by maintaining a perfect half-and-half system, even splitting the cost of sanitary pads, razors, and contraceptives. They even pay for their Brazilian waxing from their shared bank account, and the couple sweetly fulfills their dream of a perfect half-and-half marriage.
Then one day, while drinking with their spouses, the wife learns about her husband’s views on marriage that she had not known before. The husband says to a friend of the same sex who is about to get married, “I have no intention of supporting my wife. If you get married and both of you don‘t work, and you have a child, a man will become an ATM machine in an instant. After all, marriage is a business. Marriage based on love alone has not even been around for 300 years in human history,” he says, revealing another value about marriage.
The wife, who overheard this story, begins to suspect that her husband does not love her and feels resentful that her husband treats her like a business partner, but on the other hand, agrees with her husband’s opinion.
While they were living happily, sharing even the small issues of everyday life, the wife suddenly receives a notice of dismissal from her company one morning. The half-and-half marriage that the couple had dreamed of slowly begins to crack, and the husband’s true nature is revealed.
What kind of ending will the couple who dreamed of a perfect half-and-half marriage have? You can find out on the 7th at 10 p.m. on Tcast Drama Cube’s ‘The Amazing Couple’.
