The husband recounts that he married his wife in 2008 and had four children, indicating they had a good relationship. He even shares that he felt a cute jealousy because it seemed that his wife liked the children more than him, reflecting on how happy their family of six was, united by love every day. However, he mentions that six years ago, a major incident occurred that completely changed the family's daily life.
Despite having done everything he could to protect the family after the major incident, the husband feels he has reached his limit and seeks Dr. Oh Eun-young's advice on how to move forward. When asked, 'What do you think your wife would think about your appearance on the show?,' he states that his wife would likely have agreed because she always believed in the work he does. What, then, happened to the couple, who were once full of trust and love for one another, six years ago?
In the released daily video, the husband prepares food in the kitchen early in the morning as if he is used to it. While the father carefully packs a lunch of homemade dumplings and handcrafted hamburgers, the eldest son gathers snacks to eat. The father, diligently packing snacks along with the lunch, leaves the house with the second daughter and the youngest daughter. The family of four is headed to the memorial site of their third son.
Six years ago, the third son, diagnosed with 'Moyamoya disease' without any special reason leading to a blockage in the blood vessels of the brain, underwent two major surgeries at the young age of three, but ultimately passed away. The husband, who aims to visit the memorial site of the third son at least once a month with the three other children, shares his concern that if there are months when he cannot go due to being busy, the third son might feel scared and lonely. Hearing this, Dr. Oh Eun-young weeps, acknowledging the immense sorrow from losing a child.
Upon arriving at the memorial site for the third son, the family greets him and lays down chairs to sit close together, playing games to ease their longing. The husband, who prepares for the day by contemplating what his son would like at this age if he were alive, shows his utmost devotion to the son in heaven. However, before playing games, the family starts to search for something intently. What they find is 'the imprint of the wife's lips,' left on the memorial site glass long ago because she wished to kiss their son, who had passed away. The husband mentions that the blurred mark from his wife's lips seems like the third son has missed his mother for quite some time, questioning why she cannot visit him.
Before going to the memorial site for the third son, the four family members have a meal at a pork cutlet restaurant. The husband, as if used to it, films the meal with a camera. The reason he captures daily videos with the children is to show them to his wife, who has been bedridden. Five years ago, his wife was diagnosed with the same illness as their third son and suffered an acute cerebral hemorrhage, leading to a diagnosis of being a 'person in a vegetative state,' shocking the studio.
Shortly after his wife collapsed, the husband decided to bring her home, feeling that he wanted to hear the children's voices more often. He has been caring for her at home for three and a half years. Concerned that his wife might feel bored lying down all the time, he devotes most of his time to her. In fact, in observed footage, the husband shows heartfelt attention by using videos of daily life with the children to stimulate her eye movements, giving her full-body massages to prevent paralysis, and keeping vigil by her side while checking her breathing every one or two hours.
Despite the husband's claims that medically, his wife's body is gradually becoming paralyzed and communication is impossible, he insists that there are facial expressions and eye contact known only to him. In fact, in the daily observation footage, his wife is seen holding his hand in response to his request for her to do so.
Moon Se-yoon is moved by the husband's deep love for his wife, while also noting his concerns for the husband, overwhelmed with economic activities, child-rearing, and caregiving, stating that he seems like he hasn't gotten proper sleep for years. Dr. Oh Eun-young also expresses that 'how could one do this without love,' while shedding tears but advises that such dedication could lead to precarious situations. Even during the actual observation filming, warning signs are evident in the husband, who appears to be incredibly strong on the outside.
What is happening to the husband? The tearful love story of the six couples, which moved not only Dr. Oh Eun-young and the 4 MCs but also everyone in the studio, will be showcased today (7th) at 10:45 p.m. on 'Oh Eun-young Report – Marriage Hell.'
