JTBC 'Divorce Counseling Camp' Season 17's final couple, the 'Fighting Couple', shared their story and solution process, stirring viewers' emotions. The 66th episode aired on the 11th, recording a rating of 4.5% in the metropolitan area and 4.0% nationwide, securing the No. 1 spot in the same time slot for four consecutive weeks.
In this episode, the unexpected daily life of the 'Fighting Couple's husband was highlighted. He volunteered for night shifts to help with parenting and household chores, showing the dedication of a father who managed to take care of his child’s drop-off and pick-up as well as bathing, despite only getting 1 hour and 30 minutes of sleep. In response, Seo Jang-hoon praised the husband, saying, "He is not a bad dad."
However, when the topic of their marital relationship came up, the husband's hidden true feelings were revealed. He stated, "I do not want to pass my pain onto my children," yet maintained a firm stance that if the couple's relationship was not upheld once a week after recovery, he would divorce. Additionally, it was revealed that during the first week of chemotherapy, when his wife cried out in pain and pleaded for help in the emergency room, the husband expressed irritation and cursed, saying, "What do you want me to do?", shocking the investigation team. Seo Jang-hoon remarked, "Chemotherapy is naturally painful. The only person who can support her is her husband," and comforted the wife, saying, "You will definitely recover," adding to the sorrow of the situation.
In the subsequent couple counseling session, Professor Lee Ho-sun analyzed that the husband's childhood experiences influenced his current attitudes and perceptions. As the wife cried upon hearing about her husband's upbringing, Professor Lee advised, "Now is not the time to cry, but to focus," warning that divorce could pose a greater risk to the wife who is currently battling illness. In the following couple's psychodrama, the two faced a bright future with a recovery diagnosis, and the husband expressed his renewed determination, saying, "I will do my best to create a happy family."
Meanwhile, the solution for the 'Runaway Couple' also continued. In the couple's psychodrama, the husband realized he resembled his father's violent behavior and knelt before his wife to apologize. The wife also sobbed, saying, "I was wrong too," while holding her husband's hand, but in a later interview, the husband confessed, "I felt like I would become trash if I didn't kneel. I was also worried about my image on the show," and stated he would continue with the lawsuit against the other man, hinting at further repercussions.
As the conflicting issues and changes of the Season 17 couples were revealed, the final adjustment process for these couples is set to be aired on JTBC's 'Divorce Counseling Camp' on the 18th (Thursday) at 10:10 PM.
