SBS "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny" (hereafter "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2") voice actor couple Jung Hyung-seok and Park Ji-yoon have attracted attention by showing the strong bond and affection of a 17-year marriage despite their conflicts.
According to Nielsen Korea, the viewership rating for the metropolitan area for the broadcast of SBS "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2" on 7th was 4.4%, continuing its upward trend and securing first place not only in its time slot but across all Monday entertainment programs. The viewership rating for the 2049 demographic was recorded at 1.5%, with a peak rating soaring to 5.9% in minutes.
On that day's broadcast, the daily life of the voice actor couple Jung Hyung-seok and Park Ji-yoon, who have a combined 41 years of experience, was revealed for the first time, attracting interest. The couple, who bickered from the beginning of the interview, revealed their "personality differences." Park Ji-yoon noted that she is impatient and thorough, while Jung Hyung-seok has the opposite personality. Jung Hyung-seok said, "I'm a bit of a free spirit. That doesn't seem to match well," to which Park Ji-yoon exposed, "It feels like I'm raising three kids alone instead of raising them with my husband." Jung Hyung-seok added meaningfully, "We have a lot to say to each other," raising curiosity.
On that day, although Jung Hyung-seok promised to have a meal with Park Ji-yoon, he was lost in shopping, even ignoring phone calls. Ultimately, Park Ji-yoon found him after searching through department stores, but Jung Hyung-seok continued shopping. After his shopping ended, the two headed to a distant restaurant Jung Hyung-seok wanted to go to, but they got stuck in traffic and, to make matters worse, didn't know the restaurant's name, resulting in them wandering around. Moreover, when they finally arrived at the restaurant, it was closed, and Park Ji-yoon, feeling frustrated, turned the car around for home. She explained her anger, saying that while she is an organized planner who looks things up in advance, Jung Hyung-seok is spontaneous, stating, "There have been really many cases like this since we were dating. I've experienced this too often, and even when I talk about it, it happens again."
In the end, the couple had a late dinner at home with takeout food. Park Ji-yoon expressed her disappointment that Jung Hyung-seok had not apologized. However, Jung Hyung-seok did not apologize, saying, "I tried to do my best, but it's not like I committed a serious crime," and refused to say sorry. He revealed in an interview, "I went because I wanted to treat her to something delicious, but as harsh words came at me all the way there, I couldn't help but feel bad," disclosing his true feelings.
Meanwhile, on that day, Jung Hyung-seok complained that his monthly allowance of 2 million won was also insufficient, showing a childish side. Seo Jang-hoon remarked, "There are children... If you look only at pure allowance, he spends more than I do." Park Ji-yoon expressed her frustration at her husband, who seems to only think about what he wants without caring for household matters. The gap in opinions between the two did not narrow, and Park Ji-yoon shed tears, stating, "My family comes first," feeling overwhelmed by her husband's unawareness of her efforts.
Park Ji-yoon revealed, "Because I'm not the type to speak up immediately when I'm upset, I think I've been letting it pile up," adding that as her disappointment accumulates, it leads to fights over trivial matters. She also shared a past story of leaving only a letter behind and going on a separation trip with her children. Unlike herself, who values time spent with family, Jung Hyung-seok's neglect of family made her think, "Having a husband felt burdensome, and I thought I would be more comfortable without him," reflecting on that time.
Jung Hyung-seok expressed, "The week without my wife was the scariest during our marriage so far." Nevertheless, Jung Hyung-seok, who struggles to express feelings, stated that after his wife returned from the trip, he couldn't apologize correctly out of a desire to avoid that situation, surprising the studio once again. He explained, "I didn't want to say negative things like separation or break-up. I felt like bringing it up could lead to an ending." Additionally, Jung Hyung-seok mentioned, "I'm not good with words. I want to say something convincing. That's why I like writing," discussing his struggles with apologies.
On that day, Jung Hyung-seok caught attention by giving Park Ji-yoon a thoughtful surprise gift accompanied by a heartfelt letter. The letter contained his sincere feelings and apologies towards his wife. Park Ji-yoon shed tears upon hearing the words she had longed for: an apology, and the studio members unanimously remarked, "Hyung-seok has something special." Park Ji-yoon said, "I used to think I was enduring everything alone, but it was my misunderstanding. I felt truly thankful upon realizing that he had endured with someone like me because of his personality," while Jung Hyung-seok expressed, "I have great respect for my wife. I think she is a much better person than I am," showcasing the warmth and affection typical of a couple married for 17 years.
