9th year of marriage, a couple on paternity leave with three children. The maritime police husband has been on paternity leave for 20 months, taking care of his three children and housework. The wife of a linear designer asked her husband to take a paternity leave until she settled down at the company. The husband, who said he had not been able to go out properly once after taking paternity leave, complained that he was only waiting for the day to return to work.
On the show, the wife reacted sensitively to her husband's small mistakes and speech, surprising viewers by sending out abusive texts about her husband's housekeeping habits such as housekeeping and laundry. The wife confessed that her husband's failure to keep his petty promise felt as if he was deliberately ignoring himself, saying "Once you're angry, everything becomes unjust and out of control" In response, the husband said, "I'm sorry for the children, but it's hard to bear and I think I'm going to go crazy."," he said, sobbing in front of the production team.
Economic issues were also at the center of the conflict. The husband invested 150 million won at the recommendation of an acquaintance, but it is unclear whether he will be able to find even the principal. Even an acquaintance who encouraged the investment said he had died, shocking the studio. The wife is living in a negative bank account even though her annual salary is more than 100 million won. Interest alone costs more than 2 million won per month, he said, calling for economic pressure. The wife then wanted her husband to find a way to recover even the principal. On the other hand, the husband blushed at his wife, who was talking about the principal in front of death, saying, `I've fallen out of love.'
