In the 196th episode of 'Love Meddling', which aired on KBS Joy on the 10th, the story of a troubled woman suffering from her boyfriend who hovers around her 24 hours a day under the pretext of helping his girlfriend's dreams was broadcast.
Her boyfriend, who was 5 years older than her, had always shown a dependable and dedicated attitude by not only picking her up at the reading room but also providing her with various healthy foods and snacks for a troubled girl who was preparing for the civil service exam. One day, she quit her job under the pretext of burnout. We began providing 24-hour close care to the distressed girl.
To support her, the boyfriend hung around the woman's house and worked part-time as a delivery worker, and even interfered in everything she did, saying, "Think of me working hard for you."
Joo Woo-jae expressed his displeasure by saying that it was a burden and raised a question about her boyfriend's behavior, saying, "If you're going to deliver in a distressed girl's neighborhood, isn't that actually interfering with the civil service exam?" Han Hye-jin also clicked her tongue, saying, "That's too much." .
In addition, the boyfriend who suddenly appeared at a gathering to see off a friend who was immigrating took the troubled woman outside under the pretext of an anniversary and said, “If you think about me, you shouldn’t act like this. Is this because you don't know what I'm doing to you? “I spent as much time playing today as I spent studying in the reading room,” he said, making the MCs of ‘Interference in Love’ goosebumps.
He secretly sent messages to the distressed woman's friends, saying, "My girlfriend is someone who will do the government's work, so please don't date her." He also said, "I supported you more than your parents," and "I gave up my youth, money, and time to you. Kwak Jeong-eun, who heard the story of a troubled woman who wants to break up with her boyfriend who shows attitudes such as "How can you do that?" but cannot easily do so because of debt, was shocked and said, "This is gaslighting," and Kim Sook said, "How many times can you do that?" He reacted in bewilderment, saying, “You risk your life with something that supported you for months?”
In response to the atrocities of her boyfriend who crossed the line, Joo Woo-jae left a final comment, saying, “Why would you give free food to the person next to you who is opening his mouth to eat the dripping bean paste?” and “He is someone you shouldn’t have next to a distressed woman.” Han Hye-jin said, “My boyfriend.” If you continue dating, will you take the civil service exam? “It will fail!” he said firmly.
Kim Sook also said, “If you’re going to do something big, solve your boyfriend problem first. “If we can’t resolve it, everything will end up being the troubled woman’s fault,” Seo Jang-hoon said, adding, “My boyfriend is a very dangerous person, and he is not the kind of person who will fully accept a breakup. He concluded his observation by once again raising awareness about the behavior of the troubled woman's boyfriend, saying, "We need to inform the people around the troubled woman."
Meanwhile, on this day's 'Interference with Love', a story was also aired about a man experiencing conflict due to his girlfriend, who values relieving financial burdens, unlike a troubled man who values saving time for 'new life'.
One day, Go Min-nam, who purchased an expensive air purifier out of necessity, was advised by his girlfriend, “You can return it for free, so download the coupon app and buy it at a cheaper price.” Go Min-nam said, “I’ll return it and ship it again…” He expressed his refusal, saying, “It takes too long.”
Accordingly, the 'Interference in Love' MCs argued about discount coupons. Han Hye-jin said, "I won't return it even if I die," while Seo Jang-hoon said, "If I paid 50,000 won more for the same item, I would cancel it and buy it again with a discount." He surprised the MCs by saying this.
Since then, conflicts with his girlfriend have become more frequent due to their different values, and to the troubled man who is suffering from moving issues, his girlfriend says, “You should move to a cheaper house on the outskirts.” Go Min-nam said, “If you go to the outskirts, commuting to work will take a lot of time,” and “Even if it’s expensive, I’ll borrow 10 million won and go to work near the office,” but his girlfriend, who heard this, responded absurdly, saying, “Don’t you have 10 million won to spare?”
Han Hye-jin expressed the opinion, “It is a question that needs to be thought about whether telling the right story is always right,” and Kwak Jeong-eun said, “Both money and time are important. “But right now, I think it would be better to go on a casual date rather than talk about survival,” he said, concluding his final comment.
