Seo Dong-ju was urged to remarry
In the 4th episode of TV CHOSUN's 'I'm Alone Now', which aired on the 30th, the second act of Seo Dong-ju's life with her mother Seo Jeong-hee and maternal grandmother, three generations, and Jo Yoon-hee holding a pajama party for her daughter Roa were depicted. On this day, the broadcast viewership rating reached a peak of 3.7% per minute and an average of 3.4% (Nielsen Korea, nationwide), ranking first among all programs on Tuesday, including comprehensive and cable channels.
Seo Dong-ju decided to get married because he was anxious and impatient due to the atmosphere around him, but his self-identity was shaken and he revealed the reason why he divorced after four years of marriage. A year after his divorce, his parents also divorced, and Seo Dong-ju, who said, “It was even more difficult because I had no one to rely on,” revealed the story of how he stayed by his mother’s side despite having a harder time than himself.
Seo Dong-ju, who became alone, had strong supporters by his side, including his mother Seo Jeong-hee and maternal grandmother Jang Bok-sook, who lived the second act of his life together. Seo Dong-ju watches Seo Jeong-hee's love story that began at her grandmother's 80th birthday party. Seo Jeong-hee said, “I feel more sorry (to Dong-ju) since I got a boyfriend,” and hoped that her daughter Seo Dong-ju would be as happy as she was. It also showed the story of a maternal grandmother who was widowed at the age of 27 and raised four children alone. The maternal grandmother, who had raised her children tenaciously, worried that they would be called “children who grew up without a father,” urged Seo Dong-ju to remarry, saying that she now wanted only one thing: to have great-grandchildren.
Jo Yoon-hee was surprised by her daughter Roa's shocking confession that she couldn't hang out with her friends and was alone, so she hosted a slumber party and invited Roa's friends. From handmade snacks and animal pajamas that target children's tastes to various play equipment, the perfect preparation captured the hearts of LoA friends. A situation in which the topic of father came up during the conversation. Jo Yoon-hee also spoke frankly to Roa's friend, saying, "Roa doesn't live with her father," and when asked a surprise question about why they broke up, she answered in an easy-to-understand manner at the children's level by saying, "We had a fight, and I don't like it anymore."
Jo Yoon-hee, who was watching Roa playing with her friends, said, “Because Roa is the only daughter, there is no chance to give in. He was worried, saying, “Because I don’t have any brothers,” but contrary to his worries, Roa readily gave in to his friends, and the warm atmosphere continued. However, the happy feeling was short-lived as conflict began to spread between Loa and her friends. Jo Yoon-hee, who could not bear to see Roa unable to get along with her friends, summoned Roa to the 'Room of Truth' and began mediation. Jo Yoon-hee left a deep impression by pointing out Roa's attitude, saying, "The invited friends are uncomfortable," but not getting angry and solving the problem through conversation.
Choi Dong-seok, who watched this in the studio, sympathized with Jo Yoon-hee, but also confessed his changed outlook on education after becoming alone, saying, "I can't scold her because I feel sorry for things that I would have scolded her in the past."
'Now I'm Alone' has confirmed its regular schedule and is scheduled to return after a new makeover.
