"Lee Hosun Counseling Center" launches what can be called the ultimate battlefield of marital conflict, the "Marriage War." Couples who began their relationships with love but now live scarred by pain reveal their true feelings on the red sofa, without filters or pretense.
The program is a real talk show that dissects wars of relationships within families through psychological counseling and presents solutions for reconciliation. In the episode titled "Mother-Daughter War," aired on the 6th, tangled issues of discrimination, financial dependence, and late-life childcare were laid bare, drawing deep empathy from viewers. Professor Lee Hosun’s sharp diagnoses and blunt advice sparked conversation by showing the possibility of a true "relationship reboot."
Continuing that momentum, Episode 2 moves the battlefield to the world of married couples. In the preview, Professor Lee Hosun asks a heavy question, "Should this marriage be broken or preserved?" Heightening the tension, she adds, "I can predict whether a couple will divorce or not with 97% accuracy," intensifying curiosity about the outcome of this marriage war.
This episode exposes the stark emotional temperature gap between real-life couples. A wife who seeks comfort and empathy versus a husband who looks for immediate solutions. A wife who values spending time together versus a husband who wants to protect his individual life. Though they live in the same space, they speak entirely different emotional languages. These are conflicts many viewers have experienced at least once, making the immersion even stronger.
In the "Red Sofa Close Counseling" segment, the stories of two couples come into focus. First appears a couple who pleads, "This is our third marriage. We do not want to fail again." The husband wants to protect the marriage, while the wife repeatedly brings up the word "divorce" whenever conflict arises. Even their brief exchanges carry emotions on the verge of explosion, drawing attention to the hidden roots of their conflict.
The second counseling session features a husband who confesses, "I want to stop my wife’s excessive devotion to her parents’ family." The clash between his financial burden from supporting the in-laws and his wife’s belief that such support is a natural family responsibility reveals another raw side of marital conflict. Their opposing standards and emotions collide head-on on the red sofa.
How will Professor Lee Hosun identify the essence of these endless marriage wars? And what kind of "ceasefire declaration" will she offer to couples tangled in pain and misunderstanding? Anticipation continues to build.
tvN STORY’s "Lee Hosun Counseling Center" Episode 2, which captures real marital conflict in its rawest form while searching for clues to relationship recovery, airs tonight (the 13th) at 8 p.m.
