The episode aired on the 5th of this month on JTBC's 'Divorce Retreat Camp', featuring the story of the first couple of the 19th season, who had reconciled after a divorce, drawing significant attention. The 73rd episode recorded a viewership rating of 3.0% in the metropolitan area and 2.7% nationwide, according to Nielsen Korea (based on paid households).
During the episode, a household investigation was conducted on the couple who experienced divorce and reconciliation during their two-year marriage. The wife claimed that her life was ruined twice due to conflicts with her in-laws and her husband's issues with other women. She revealed that during their first marriage, she left home after just two weeks due to in-law conflicts, leading to their divorce. It was shocking to discover that the husband had a patriarchal attitude, telling his wife, who was scolded by her mother-in-law for an hour, "My mother thinks of you as a daughter."
However, in the husband's video, it was revealed that he suffered due to his wife's excessive suspicion and obsession. The wife was mistakenly jealous of trips with women that happened 10 years ago and misunderstood his female acquaintances as "your women," feeling disrespected. Seo Jang-hoon criticized her behavior as "obsessive and blind." It was also revealed that she would call him over 100 times if he didn't answer and once vandalized his car with whipped cream out of anger, shocking viewers.
Throughout the household investigation, the wife continued to express her frustration, claiming, "They are making me out to be a paranoid person." Even after the investigation, she couldn't acknowledge her faults and continued to be angry, leading the husband to pack his bags and declare his intention to leave. What will become of this couple at a crossroads?
Following the reconciled couple's story, the story of the second couple of the 19th season will be revealed on 'Divorce Retreat Camp' on the 12th at 10:30 PM.
