In the latest episode of tvN STORY's 'Lee Ho-sun Counseling Center,' Professor Lee Ho-sun delves into the 'war of words' plaguing a newlywed couple on the brink of separation after an 8-year-long relationship.

Airing today (14th), the 13th episode of 'Lee Ho-sun Counseling Center' sheds light on the tragic lack of communication hidden behind the facade of love. Despite overcoming familial opposition to marry, the couple has become each other's sharpest adversaries. The episode explores the story of a family fractured for seven years due to everyday cracks, seeking ways to mend their relationships.

The episode reveals the story of a couple who met at 23 and married after an 8-year passionate relationship. While it's common for couples to argue in the first three years of marriage, this couple's long history raises questions about their ongoing conflicts. In the preview, they shockingly declare, "Talking is meaningless," and "One of us is not normal," highlighting their deep-seated issues.

Their daily life has turned into a battlefield, with arguments occurring at least once or twice a week. Professor Lee Ho-sun delivers a harsh truth, stating, "The husband cannot comfort his wife, and the wife does not cherish her husband." As Lee's sharp diagnosis and solutions unfold, the couple, known for their harsh words, break down in tears. The episode raises curiosity about the couple's true feelings and the impactful solutions offered by Lee Ho-sun.

The episode also previews the tragic 'missing communication' within a family. It tells the story of parents searching for their daughter, who vanished without a trace at 23 and has been missing for seven years. Inspired by a past story of reconciliation between a mother and daughter estranged for two years over childcare issues, the parents seek counseling. However, they are overwhelmed with emotion upon sitting on the red sofa, unable to speak through their tears, evoking sympathy from the studio. Despite the daunting seven-year gap, Professor Lee Ho-sun aims to uncover the root of the communication breakdown and provide heartfelt counseling.

The episode, filled with the tears of a couple marred by harsh words and the desperate plea of parents wanting to turn back time, airs tonight (14th) at 8 PM on tvN STORY.
