Professor Lee Ho-sun Tackles Family Crises in 'Lee Ho-sun Counseling Center'

Professor Lee Ho-sun steps in with urgent solutions for families in crisis due to teenage gambling.

The 11th episode of tvN STORY's 'Lee Ho-sun Counseling Center', airing on the 31st, sheds light on the destructive patterns of misguided love within family walls. It highlights the 'gambling war' of a mother and son striving for a peaceful life, and the 'oppression war' between a mother and daughter unable to break free even into adulthood, calling for a strong declaration of peace.

The episode first reveals the story of a son who fell into online gambling during high school and the mother who has stood by him through the crisis. This session is particularly significant as the son, showing a willingness to change, has sought out the counseling center himself. The mother has struggled to keep the family afloat, even taking out loans to cover her son's gambling debts, amounting to a staggering 20 million won. Professor Lee Ho-sun will critically address the issues in the mother's approach to resolving these problems and offer advice to break the cycle of dependency.

The next story features a 40-year-old daughter fighting an 'oppression war' to escape her mother's excessive control. Despite living independently, the daughter has had to hide her home address out of fear of her mother's interference. The mother, on the other hand, feels compelled to monitor her daughter's every move under the guise of offering advice. The daughter laments living her life trapped in her mother's mold, but underlying this is the mother's own difficult life and the deficiencies projected onto her daughter, adding to the poignancy. Professor Lee Ho-sun is expected to identify the root of the tension between the mother and daughter and suggest ways to respect each other's space and begin a journey towards genuine independence.

The 11th episode of 'Lee Ho-sun Counseling Center' airs at 8 PM.
