MBC Every1's 'War of the Roses', which will be aired on the 20th, will feature the story of a polarizing couple going back and forth between heaven and hell.
The main character of this day's story is Oleg, a Russian professor known as an authority on Napoleon who received France's highest decoration, the Legion of Honor. Oleg, who was fascinated by Napoleon, began to imitate him not only in his speech and behavior, but also in his clothing. Eventually, Oleg fell in love with Anastasia, a woman who resembled Napoleon's lover, Josephine, and came to call himself a 'modern Napoleon'.
A great tragedy befell Oleg, who lived a life similar to his idol, Napoleon. Oleg's lover, Anastasia, who was Josephine, was horribly murdered by being cut into pieces. It stimulates curiosity as to what the full story of the tragic couple story that happened to the modern-day Napoleon-Josephine couple will be.
Meanwhile, on this day's broadcast, the story of a couple who put into practice the saying, 'Age is just a number' is also introduced. The main characters of the story are American couple Gary and Almeda. The cast was surprised twice: once by the fact that the funeral home was the place where the two people first met and fell in love at first sight, and then when their unimaginable relationship was revealed.
Also, when the huge age difference between the Gary and Almeda couple, who is older than their son and older than their grandchild, was revealed, the cast could not keep their mouths shut. Lee Sang-min, who was listening to the story, shouted at the two people, saying, “I have to stay around.” When it was reported that this couple is continuing their love despite numerous oppositions and prejudices, Jaewoong Yang said, “I have been telling people not to look at the outside, but to look inside, but it is true that I listened to this couple's story with prejudice at first.” “I'm ashamed of myself,” he reflects.
Meanwhile, on this day's 'War of the Roses', a variety of couple stories are introduced, ranging from Hollywood's representative actress Angelina Jolie's bloody love life to the story of a man who committed 'revenge porn', a digital sex crime, because he could not accept a breakup.
