In "Dad and Me," actor Oh Kwang-rok and his son confessed to their family history of estrangement for seven years.
A preview was shown on the 17th's broadcast of TV Chosun's "Dad and Me."
In that episode, actor Oh Kwang-rok was depicted spending time alone with his son for the first time in seven years. The two took a train together after a long time. Their relationship had been severed since the COVID-19 pandemic, and now, seven years had passed.
The first journey they embarked upon was to visit the columbarium of Oh Kwang-rok's mother, who had passed away, and the children's maternal grandmother. Oh Kwang-rok's son sat quietly before cautiously opening his mouth. "I wish I had received a phone call from grandma. At that time, I was angry with dad, so I didn’t answer grandma's calls. I regret that. I’m really sorry for coming late," he said.
Listening quietly, Oh Kwang-rok calmly said, "My son regrets it. He feels sorry for not having contacted grandma, and it's weighing on his mind..." With a mix of emotions, he continued, almost blaming himself. Oh Kwang-rok noted, "In fact, it’s all my shortcomings. I should have reached out more to my son without any contact. I should have knocked on the door more and made an effort... My efforts were lacking."
Upon arriving at his mother's columbarium, Oh Kwang-rok prayed silently, expressing his true feelings, saying, "Please help me to become a good dad for my son in the future, mother." Awkward words and difficult emotional expressions. Could they narrow the distance that had been empty for so long and once again hold hands? This raised anticipation for their future journey.
