Tomorrow (14th) at 10:45 p.m., MBC's 'Oh Eunyung Report – Marriage Hell' will feature the second story of 'six couples,' continuing from last week.
Last week, a husband's story about personally nursing his wife, who collapsed and was diagnosed as a person in a vegetative state due to moyamoya disease after losing their 3-year-old third son to the same condition, attracted a strong response. Immediately after the broadcast, discussions flooded portal sites and online communities about the husband Yang Kwan-sik from the recently popular drama 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' with viewers realizing the greatness of love while watching the husband caring for his wife in a vegetative state.
In the second broadcast of the six couples, the eldest son, who steadfastly supports his father, appeared in the studio and met Dr. Oh Eunyung. In a video of their daily life that followed, the eldest son, about to start high school, went out to find a new school uniform and, upon returning home, immediately approached his sick mother to greet her warmly.
During dinner time, the son, dressed in his new school uniform, showed it to his mother. After noticing that his mother seemed to want to say something but couldn’t, he gently asked, 'Mom, are you frustrated because you want to talk but can't?' He comforted her by saying, 'I’m listening to everything.' The son, who concentrated on his mother’s expressions to decipher what she wanted to say, eventually entered the clothing room, stifling his sobs. In particular, it was noted that the mother in a vegetative state slightly moved her mouth upon seeing her eldest son in his high school uniform. During a subsequent interview, when asked by the production team if he had considered seeking help from psychological counseling or psychiatry, the son revealed an unexpected reason for not having received psychological counseling until now.
The eldest son’s unexpected response brought tears to Dr. Oh Eunyung and all four MCs, turning the studio into an ocean of tears. What was the eldest son’s true feelings that made Dr. Oh Eunyung cry?
In the final video of 'six couples,' the husband is seen revealing his true feelings to his wife for the first time in five years since she collapsed. Lying beside his wife, the husband quietly gazes at her and shares a story from a dream he had the night before. He recounts dreaming that his wife brushed herself off, stood up, and smiled, saying, 'I’m better now.' Despite knowing the reality that recovery for his wife is nearly impossible, he cautiously admits that he still holds onto hope that she might wake up.
Suddenly, he reveals his feelings that he had kept deep within, saying, 'I don't know how to handle everything...' The husband, who always thinks of his wife's situation before his own struggles, expresses concern about whether continuing treatment while caring for her could be causing her distress and whether he is holding onto her unnecessarily when she might want to be free.
The husband, who decided to appear on the show to find answers on how to move forward in order to protect his beloved wife and children, poses the question: what advice will Dr. Oh Eunyung offer him? The final story of the six couples can be seen on April 14, Monday, at 10:45 p.m. in the 118th episode of 'Oh Eunyung Report – Marriage Hell.'
