In episode 2 of MBN’s ‘Decision to Divorce at least once’, which aired on the 21st, the couple of ’10 years of marriage’, Jeong Dae-se and Myung Seo-hyun, were depicted bursting into tears as they agreed to a virtual divorce. Different values ​​were revealed, sparking a fierce debate between studio MCs Kim Yong-man and Oh Yoon-ah and panelists Yang So-young and Noh Jong-eon, lawyers. In addition, Lee Hye-jeong and Go Min-hwan, who have been married for 45 years, started their own lives after their ‘virtual divorce’, and showed their daily lives and inner thoughts with a stark ‘temperature difference’, bringing ‘laughter’ and sympathy at the same time. The broadcast on this day recorded a viewership rating of 3.6% (based on the third division of Nielsen Korea’s paid broadcast households), and the highest rating per minute soared to 4.96%, reflecting the growing interest and support of viewers.

First, the couple, Jeong Dae-se and Myung Seo-hyeon, were shown sitting in an office and writing a (virtual) divorce agreement and waiver of parental rights. Unlike Myeong Seo-hyun, who had a calm expression, Jeong Dae-se was unable to control the tears that flowed endlessly, and was distressed, saying, “It was difficult for me to give up my parental rights.” Immediately after, Jeong Dae-se and Myung Seo-hyeon revealed their real daily life living with their in-laws with their two children.

At 6 a.m., Myeong Seo-hyun was busy preparing her two children for school. On the other hand, Jeong Dae-se went out to exercise, saying, “I don’t have time,” despite his wife’s request to “wake up the kids.” In the end, Myeong Seo-hyeon took care of her two children alone, even riding them to school, and made a quick breakfast out of the food the children left in the car. Instead of feeling sorry, Jeong Dae-se, who was watching this in the studio, confidently stated, “My exercise is more difficult than (my wife’s) childcare,” causing the studio cast members’ silence. After returning home after exercising, Jeong Dae-se went straight to ‘lying down.’ His wife said, “Please come out to the living room,” but Jeong Dae-se responded, “I’m busy sleeping,” causing a second shock. From then on, Jeong Dae-se just did his own thing without showing any signs of discomfort despite his wife and father-in-law having a hard time doing laundry and cleaning. Myeong Seo-hyeon, who couldn’t do anything, asked her to clean out the refrigerator, but she didn’t do it, so her father-in-law hurriedly did it for her.

In a heart-to-heart interview with the production team, Myung Seo-hyeon said, “I feel like I have become an unfilial daughter. “I felt upset and sorry that her own father was watching her son-in-law,” she said, shedding tears. However, Jeong Dae-se said, “I didn’t ask for it, but my father-in-law helped me on his own. I did nothing wrong. “If she had a personality that bothered her, she probably wouldn’t have lived with her wife’s family,” he explained. Oh Yoon-ah and Lee Hye-jeong were vicariously angry at Jeong Dae-se’s logic and beliefs, saying, “From the wife’s perspective, she would think, ‘Well, there’s someone like that.’”Kim Yong-man said, “Still, his personality is correct. Immediately say thank you and sorry. “She won’t even be able to hate her father-in-law.” Hyejeong Lee said, “I’m strangely sucked into that logic,” making her laugh.

As Jeong Dae-se and Myung Seo-hyeon’s precarious in-laws’ daily life came to an end, the story of Lee Hye-jeong and Go Min-hwan’s post-divorce story, who had previously agreed to a ‘virtual divorce’, unfolded. Go Min-hwan, who had previously packed his bags and left home, went to his hospital that day, slept in his staff lounge and concentrated on treatment. He said that when an employee approached him and asked, “Did you sleep here?” he responded, “Her wife asked me to divorce her, so I divorced her. “I’m sure her wife will regret losing me soon,” he said coolly. Lee Hye-jeong, who watched this in her studio, clicked her tongue and said, “I am dreaming (that I will regret it).”

At the same time, Lee Hye-jung met with her daughter and carefully informed her of the virtual divorce that had been decided the day before. She said her daughter said, “Mom, are you okay?” and then she said, “You made a good decision. “She respects your choice,” she replied. However, her daughter later confessed in a heart-to-heart interview with the production team that “actually her heart sank, but she pretended to remain calm because she was afraid her mother would be upset.” Lee Hye-jeong, who belatedly confirmed her daughter’s affectionate feelings, said, “Even though her daughter was over 40 years old, her eyes shook when the story of her divorce came out. “I’m sorry I hurt my daughter the way she did,” she said, shedding tears.

Afterwards, Go Min-hwan cleared the lunch with a ‘salty gourmet meal’ by ‘breaking the refrigerator’ and pairing kimchi soup with roughly toasted toast, and he also passionately participated in a lecture on the topic of ‘life after menopause’, showing ‘zero sense of divorce impact’. showed the appearance of In particular, upon seeing Ko Min-hwan, who gave meticulous advice to menopausal women, Lee Hye-jeong said, “He is such a gallant doctor,” and rushed forward, destroying the scene. At the same time, Hye-Jeong Lee expressed her regret, saying, “In the book her husband wrote, I saw that she wrote down her belief that ‘patients are like family, and her family is like patients.’”

A few days later, Lee Hye-jeong headed to Yanggu, Gangwon-do, where an acquaintance who was like family lived. This is a place full of memories where Lee Hye-jeong and Go Min-hwan established a home with their two children after becoming independent for the first time after a difficult life with in-laws. Hye-jung Lee explained that “she was the spring day of my life,” and then she visited an acquaintance’s house and everyone gathered together to make kimchi. After making kimchi, Lee Hye-jeong looked around the neighborhood where she lived with her husband and relieved her stress by picking radishes from the radish field that her acquaintances had given her permission to do. “I thought, ‘Oh, I am loved. This is the real me.’” She said, “I was properly recharged and healed.” He confessed that he had done it. There is a lot of interest in how Lee Hye-jeong and Ko Min-hwan, Jeong Dae-se and Myung Seo-hyeon, and Ryu Dam and Shin Yu-jeong will lead their lives after their virtual divorce.
