 Robert and Harley, who seemed to be in conflict, reignited the crisis while trimming bean sprouts (decided to divorce)



Robert Harley and Myung Hyun-sook faced another crisis during the divorce meditation period in the MBN entertainment program 「Determined to divorce at least once」.

In the `Decision to Divorce at least once' aired on the 27th, Robert Harley visited Kim Byung-hoo, an expert on marital conflict, and sought to resolve the conflict. Later, he went down to his house in Gwangju to try to reconcile with his wife.

During psychological counseling, Robert Harley said, `My wife treats me like a child," he said, revealing the cause of the conflict. Accordingly, Director Kim Byung-hoo "It seems that the tendency to avoid conflict has intensified since the incident."," he said of Harley's drug scandal five years ago. When Director Kim asked "Have you ever had a conversation with your wife about that?" Harley "I didn't even have a conversation because I wanted to forget.", he confessed.



During the consultation, Harley recalled the past when he became overly dependent on others after losing his father. He believed in the wrong person after his father's death seven years ago and made the wrong choice. As narcolepsy worsened, his judgment became blurred." Director Kim Byung-hoo "Not sharing such feelings with his wife creates a bigger problem", and recommended a solution through dialogue.

Myung Hyun-sook also had time to look back on her marital relationship while receiving psychological counseling. The psychological counselor suggested an emotional card choice, and Myung Hyun-sook was the first to choose 'Thank You'. Robert Harley, who watched it, said "I thought my wife hated me, but I was moved by the fact that I felt grateful." Myung Hyun-sook said, `Although there were difficult times, memories with my husband gave me strength to endure.' She said that she still has happy memories of 37 years.



A few days later, Harley headed to Gwangju for reconciliation. Visiting a foreign school established by the couple, he said, "I bought your favorite ramie rice cake," he said, offering a hand of reconciliation. But Myung Hyun-sook "You asked me to stay away, but why did I come back?", showing subtle tension. Harley mentioned the advice of director Kim Byung-hoo and senior actor Sunwoo Yong-yeo and tried to solve it through dialogue," he replied awkwardly.

Myung Hyun-sook offered "Can you do my routine just for today?" and Harley reluctantly accepted. The two went to the fish market together and bought steamed monkfish ingredients, but Harley, who doesn't like fish, gradually lost patience. In the end, when Myung Hyun-sook said in a commanding tone, "Please trim the bean sprouts" Harley couldn't hold back his anger and left his seat, the conflict escalated.
