What will happen if I just stay at home? VS I am so scared of going outside. In Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, Vietnamese daughter-in-law Ma Yoon-ju (24), married for two years. Her mother-in-law, Seong Sun-jo (69), is worried because her daughter-in-law does not come out of the house. The mother-in-law’s wish is for her daughter-in-law to come out of the house. The daughter-in-law, who has been locked up at home for two years since marriage while suffering from depression, does not go out at all without her husband. The mother-in-law, who had only heard about this kind of life, was surprised to see her daughter-in-law not even eating alone... The daughter-in-law is frustrated with herself and is afraid, so she cannot do anything alone. The mother-in-law, thinking that this can’t go on, planned a trip to her hometown to bring her daughter-in-law out into the world. Will the two of them be able to have a happy ending on their trip? ▶ “If you are happy, our son will be happy too!” The mother-in-law raised her two sons with difficulty. The youngest son is like a sore thumb to the mother-in-law. She always feels sorry that she didn’t raise her in a comfortable way during her childhood… When her son, who was like that, got married and brought a foreign daughter-in-law, she was very fond of her because she was pretty and like her own daughter. However, her mother-in-law was shocked when she heard that she had never properly prepared a meal for her husband and that she didn’t even eat well when she was alone. On top of that, she felt lonely and depressed about her life in Korea, so her mother-in-law felt sorry that her son’s married life was filled with only sadness instead of happiness. She was worried about how she could get her daughter-in-law, who only stays at home, out. ▶ “I know I’m pathetic, but I’m scared. What can I do?” Ma Yoon-ju, a wife who has been in Korea for two years. She worked as a nurse while attending college in Vietnam. She met her husband who happened to be visiting Vietnam, fell in love at first sight, decided to get married, and came to Korea. When she first came to Korea, she thought she would be happy… But she became increasingly depressed because she didn’t know how to speak and couldn’t do anything. It’s not that she didn’t try hard, but she was frustrated by the unchanging situation. In the end, she even made an extreme choice. She feels pathetic for relying only on her husband and not being able to do anything, but she is still full of fear about going out into the world. ▶ “A trip to pull her daughter-in-law out into the world” Why did the mother-in-law want to travel with her daughter-in-law? Her daughter-in-law never goes out and stays in her room every day. In the end, in order to change her daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law goes on a trip to her hometown with her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law is more worried and concerned than excited about the trip with her mother-in-law. This is the first time she has traveled with her mother-in-law without her husband... The mother-in-law shows her the only elementary school she ever went to and tells her story. She also tries to open her daughter-in-law’s heart by telling her about her past that she has never told anyone. Will the daughter-in-law be able to come out into the world through this trip like the mother-in-law hoped? #depression #mother-in-law #daughter-in-law #mother-in-law #room #scare #Vietnam #marriage #international marriage #multicultural #algorithm #touching #tears 📺Broadcast information 📌Program name: Multicultural mother-in-law battle - daughter-in-law who doesn't come out of the room 📌Broadcast date: October 29, 2020
