Realistic husband or indifferent husband? ¶ Media English 2008

Have you ever watched the TV show named “We are married!”? This is one of my favorite TV shows and I really enjoy watching it. In this show, there are 4 couples who pretended to be married and each couple is dramatically different. Among them, what I want to talk about is Jung Hyung Don who is a husband of Saori in the show. He doen’t want to help his wife, acts like typical Korean husband who most women don’t like and almost every his word is based on patriarchy so Saori is distressed and annoyed at him. So were many female viewers. Some people say he is the only husband in this show who is exactly realistic and there are no reasons for him to be blamed. On the other hand, other people say that he deserves to be spoken ill of because he is overly indifferent to his wife and he shouldn’t act like that. However, I would like to ask people who defend Jung Hyung Don a question. Does ‘realistic’ mean ‘ok’ or ‘alright’? Is his behavior ok enough to be forgiven only because it’s realistic? I don’t think so. (Of course, it’s a diffent problem that whether we have rights to blame him or not just because his acts are wrong) He is nothing but an indiffernt husband and it’s not right and it’s not ok at all. He definitely needs to be changed and that’s the only way to make the viwers think that he is a good husband.

One thought on “Realistic husband or indifferent husband?”

I have seen this TV show once. Jung Hyung-don’s couple is a bit difference from the others. While each member takes an interview in a dark room, Hyungdon was trying to tell the truth that he felt. He even said, “Frankly speaking I know many netizens will attack me if I am being honest. However I’ve got to be honest. I decided that I am not going to care what netizen would say to me, blame to me. I am sure that most of men will strongly agree with what I am going to say.” Truly, male guests nodded their heads and totally understood what he said. Why do you think there are tons of books which are about difference points of views of male and female? With trust and sinsere mind we should try to understand each other. When we do that we are beautiful. That’s what we are supposed to do and why human is being seperated into two genders. Nature has reasons all the time. When we step on the track that was made by nature, happiness comes.
