Da-eun Lee of 'Love after Divorce' couldn't stop crying while watching the stories of divorcees.
In the 'Love after Divorce' episode that aired on the 31st, the presence of children among divorcees and the duration of their marriages were revealed. In a situation where information isn't public, the divorcees couldn't discuss various topics, seemingly causing a conflict of sorts as they couldn't provide clear answers to the divorcees.
Kim Myung-eun had 10 months of marriage and was childless. Afterward, the divorcees whose stories were revealed could only tear up. Han Ye-won, who received divorce papers from her ex-husband when she was six months pregnant. Han Ye-won, who suffered from stress-induced premature labor, ended up giving birth to a preterm baby after receiving medication throughout her pregnancy. While she knelt and begged her husband to reconsider the divorce during her full term, Han Ye-won ultimately went through with the divorce.
Han Ye-won stated, "My child has never seen a father since birth. She thinks that our father, her grandfather, is her dad. But since that's not true, I slowly explain it, and she shows a sad expression. Sometimes she asks me where dad is." Upon hearing this, Ji-hye Lee, Da-eun Lee, and Hye-young Lee all wiped away their tears.
Han Ji-woo commented, "I am a double divorcee. I've been through two divorces and two marriages," which shifted the mood slightly. Unlike her first divorce, which had a significant reason behind it, her second husband did not make efforts to maintain the family, causing Han Ji-woo to wilt. Additionally, she was coerced into having a child, and unable to endure it, she sought help from her in-laws. When Han Ji-woo said, "But we all know what losing a family feels like. I thought it could never happen twice. I tried with all my might to keep my family together," everyone shared a sympathetic look.
Ultimately, Han Ji-woo ended up divorced. She remarked, "It might be awkward, but I still dream of a happy family," adding, "I also had fears that I wouldn't be understood."
Jang Su-ha, who divorced six years ago, said he intended to leave the child behind but ended up taking the child with him because he couldn't bear to be away. Being a Pilates instructor is also for the sake of raising the child. Jang Su-ha explained, "The reason I exercise is for the child. Moms can't play soccer, so I learned to play soccer with them. My goal is to raise them to be good adults. I cherish and love my child more than myself," revealing his adorable 9-year-old child.
Then it was Jo Ah-reum's turn. Lee Dong-gun remarked, "Isn't one child okay?" However, Jo Ah-reum had one daughter and one son. She stated, "I am the primary caregiver. Naturally, when I divorced, I thought the baby needed a mother's care more, so I said I would take custody, and my ex-husband agreed. They are truly precious to me, as they mean everything in my life," explaining what her children mean to her.
Still, he expressed how difficult life was when he had to pick up his children when they were sick, only to bring them back to the hospital for IV treatment before going back to work. Upon hearing this, Da-eun Lee broke down in tears. She shared, "I also persevered through that time with just Rieun. So I really understand how Ah-reum feels." Jo Ah-reum remarked, "I came here hoping to find a good partner, but I might be a burden to someone else. I don't want to be a burden," she said with an indifferent expression.
