'Between Marriage and Divorce 2' PD "The solution itself is not the goal"
Recently, at a cafe in Sogyeok-dong, Seoul, I met the production team of the TV show 'Between Marriage and Divorce 2'. Producers Park Nae-ryong and Lee Jin-hyeok, the directors, and music director Yoon Sang, told various stories related to the program through interviews.
Producer Park Nae-ryong said, "During planning meetings, people say that they want to talk honestly and realistically. This program started with the thought, 'Is divorce bad?' Our intention was to deal with divorce as it is in reality. At the same time, it developed into a project that it would be nice to film people who are between marriage and divorce." Producer Lee Jin-hyeok said, "There were a lot of people like that around us during production. This story came out naturally. The first question was, 'Why did you get divorced?' He said, 'It's better to break up well than fight and break up badly.' It's the same," he added.
There was criticism that Season 1 did not resolve the conflict and only showed the conflict. Producer Park Nae-ryong said, "We didn't try to give a solution while doing the program, but we didn't graze either. We wanted the couple to properly think through their time alone. He said that during the recruitment process. "I gave it time. I think I found a solution on my own. I think I was able to choose between divorce and marriage. We weren't a program that provided solutions." The emotional approach seems to have resolved the conflict at the time, but when he said that the conflict could be repeated again when he returned to reality, PD Jinhyeok Lee said, "We cannot solve all of the couple's problems in a short time. "I think we can have time to see each other in a new way when we appear on ''," he said. "It may be different again when we return home (from the decision made during filming). I think we will have time to see each other while filming the program." Music director Yoon Sang said, "From the perspective of the viewers who watched the preview, I wouldn't have been able to work on the music if it had only been frustrating and stimulating. They say they didn't come up with a special solution, but I think appearing in this program itself is a solution. Ten days of recording. If it wasn't for '', the performers wouldn't have been able to listen to the other person's story neutrally. The production team created that kind of time and space," he emphasized.
Among the season 1 performers, Lee Jung-hwan and Seo Sa-rang's conflict seemed to be well resolved in the broadcast, but later revealed the conflict and caused controversy. Seo Sa-rang, the wife, complained that her husband had been assaulted, and Lee Jung-hwan, the husband, argued that his wife had an affair, and sharply confronted him. Producer Lee Jin-hyeok said, "I don't think the choice they made during the broadcast was not their sincerity. I think they chose to stay married because they tried to live well and saw the light at the time. said. When asked about his responsibility as a production team, PD Park Nae-ryong emphasized, “We are still communicating with the cast of Season 1. Producer Lee Jin-hyeok said, "Some couples (season 1 cast members) said they got better, and some said they were the same. Still, I haven't heard that they went out for nothing. Isn't a breakup between lovers and a divorce between a couple different? Even after the first episode of season 2 aired, everyone kept in touch. "I'm checking to see if there's anything wrong with the broadcast. I feel a sense of responsibility."
'Between Marriage and Divorce 2', which was first released on the 19th, is an ongoing divorce observation reality where couples ponder 'how to break up well' at the crossroads of marriage and divorce. In the first week of release, it ranked first in the number of paid subscription contributors among TVing originals.
