"Burning Up Inside."
Hello.
I'm a housewife in my 40s who's frustrated.
My husband doesn't move an inch
when he gets home.
Does he stay next to me?
No.
He's stuck to the sofa and
he doesn't do anything at home.
"Honey, can you change the bathroom light bulb?"
"Okay."
"Honey, can you move the fridge?"
"Okay."
I burn up inside when I ask him to do something.
He never gets anything done.
Sometimes for months or years.
That's not all.
"I'm hungry. Honey, food. Food!"
"Oldest daughter. Make me coffee."
"Younger one. Get me the remote."
"Girls, massage my legs."
My husband treats me and
our 12 and 15-year-old daughters like servants.
Please make my lazy husband move.
Jihye, I'm curious about Junhyeong.
What does he do when he gets home?
It's the other way around for us.
I'm always lying down on the sofa.
Really?
I take the kids to school every morning.
I wake up at 6 in the morning
and cook breakfast for our kids.
I tie my younger daughter's hair in a ponytail.
I tie her hair like this.
(It's the other way around)
That means Junhyeong must understand
this housewife's concern more.
I do the dishes for all 3 meals, too.
(I'm sorry, honey)
What do you think, Jihyo?
How would you feel if your husband did this?
Your future husband.
I would hate it.
Becoming one with the sofa.
Since the members all live together,
some members must work hard
and some members must be one with the sofa.
Yeah.
(Intrigued)
Jeongyeon.
That suits her. She's always one with the sofa?
- No, she always cleans. / - She does?
Then who is always lying down?
- They can't say it. / - Sure.
All right.
Please come on out.
(Who's concerned about her lazy husband?)
(Park Miae)
Does your husband always stay on the sofa?
Yes. He doesn't do anything.
(She must be speechless)
She is speechless just thinking about it.
She's getting angry.
We've been married for almost 20 years now.
Once he gets home,
he just sleeps and eats. Even on weekends.
One time, he went to the bathroom.
I waited for him to come back out
so that we could talk.
He didn't come out for over 30 minutes.
In the bathroom?
I heard a crash.
I opened the door.
He was asleep and the toilet paper fell.
He fell asleep while going to the bathroom?
Or did he go in to sleep?
He just sits there and sleeps.
(Who's worse than my husband?)
When are you most frustrated?
He always puts things off.
I don't ask him to do chores at home.
But there are things that only men can do.
Like moving furniture.
When we just got married, I asked him to do it.
He said, "Let's do it tomorrow."
That was it.
In the end, I did it by myself at night.
- I moved the bed and furniture. / - At night?
Even the refrigerator.
It broke down,
so we got a new one.
But they didn't take our old refrigerator.
So I said, "Honey, let's get this downstairs."
I asked him for help, but he said,
"I'm very tired. Let's do it tomorrow."
He kept putting it off for 2 weeks.
In the end, I hired some men to move it.
What task took the longest to get done?
Tightening the screws on our dining table.
He said that he needed a special tool.
- A hex wrench. / - A hex wrench.
I told him to go and get it.
He said, "Tomorrow."
So how long did you wait?
- It took a year. / - A year.
(Unbelievable)
Unbelievable.
You must've tried to talk to him about it.
I did.
"Married couples must talk to each other.
We should at least talk 30 minutes a day."
I kept talking, but he went like this.
(Not paying attention)
- He didn't move? / - He just sat there like this.
You should've said, "If you keep this up,
I'll adopt many, many dogs."
I told my daughters,
"I think I'm going to have to raise a puppy."
You should adopt one!
Adopt one! Adopt one!
I'll give you my business card!
You should get her number.
She'll give you her business card.
(Imagine why I'm doing this)
Let's meet her husband now.
Hello.
(Who's the lazy husband?)
Do you understand her concern?
Yes. Everything she said is right.
Do you really not do anything at home?
No, because it's too cumbersome.
Do you want to help out?
His resolve doesn't last.
I do, but it's not easy to do.
He doesn't. He's lying.
You didn't tighten the screws for a year.
Yes. I kept putting it off
since I didn't feel like doing it.
- For a year? / - Wow.
He's talking like this here.
That's how he talks at home.
Yes. I've signed promise notes many times, too.
I think he's the true master.
Even in martial arts, people who always laugh
tend to be the strongest.
He's unbeatable.
You ask everyone else to do errands for you.
Why do you do that?
It's annoying.
- Too annoying. / - Too annoying.
How did you come here? It must've been annoying.
I'm starting to hear things.
I came because they came to pick me up.
That's right. We send a driver over.
A driver went to pick them up.
If not, you wouldn't have come today?
I would've thought about it once more.
He wouldn't have come today.
Our daughters are older now.
We were quite close when they were young.
Now, it's hard to see them.
I want to see them more, so...
To see them?
I make them do errands.
- That's ridiculous. / - That's ridiculous?
They do something for him.
That should be the end of it.
But he asks for something else.
Right away.
That's why our girls are suffering.
It doesn't happen occasionally.
Excuse me, but his front teeth...
He was in an accident.
- He's getting treatment? / - That's why.
We thought since you don't move,
your wife maybe pulled them out in your sleep.
(Bursts out laughing)
"If you won't talk, you don't need your teeth!"
(It almost became a soap opera)
We might think that he's lazy,
but maybe he works too much.
I work at construction sites.
I tear down buildings.
That's tough.
I get up at 4 and go to work at 4:30 a.m.
Then I get home at around 8 or 9.
You're working 10 hours a day.
Then he can't help but sleep a lot.
That's very tiring.
I think it's because of his tough job.
No. I don't understand it at all.
I think it's because of obesity.
He didn't have a belly before we got married.
He did Taekwondo.
- He was an athlete. / - An athlete?
- He weighs over 220 lbs now. / - I see.
There's a picture of him before he gained weight.
So handsome.
The one in the middle. He is well-built.
- He's so handsome. / - He is well-built.
You've started to gain weight here.
You were a bit bigger when you got married.
It was when I was about to give birth.
My hair was shorter than now.
We both wore baseball caps.
They mistook you two? No way.
My husband was dozing off in the waiting room.
I had my head down, too.
The nurse came and said, "Ma'am"
and helped my husband up.
(The nurse mistook his big belly)
Unbelievable.
- Really. / - Unbelievable.
A woman is mistaken for a man
and he was mistaken for a pregnant woman.
So many similar things are happening today.
It sounds like
you need a lot of sleep.
Yes. My younger sister wrote about me
10 years ago to another TV program
and we did a shoot about me sleeping a lot.
I was tested to see if I have narcolepsy.
- Luckily, I don't. / - That's good.
It usually take people 20-45 minutes
to be sound asleep.
But for me it takes about 45 seconds.
I fall into a deep sleep in just 45 seconds.
In just 45 seconds?
Our girls would ask him to read a book
and he fell asleep after reading one page.
He was only able to read one page.
You were like this before you gained weight?
Yes, if I decide to sleep...
- You fall asleep in 45 seconds? / - Yes.
"I'll fall asleep" and you just do right away?
I was once sitting in the passenger's seat
and my staff was driving.
I fell asleep while we were talking.
Can you do that here?
Can you come up here and show us?
That'd be hard, but can you do it here?
Yes, if I really want to.
It only takes 45 seconds. I want to see it.
You can't do it here because of us, right?
- Can you do it if you want to? / - Yes.
Can you please show us?
I just can't believe it.
I understand how Yeongja feels.
I want to stop her, but I want to see it, too.
Tell us this and you can go to sleep.
Were you ever in danger because of this?
I smoked at home before our girls were born.
Before they were born.
I fell asleep with a cigarette in my mouth.
(Shocked)
- Impressive. / - With a cigarette in your mouth?
That's so dangerous!
Our cotton blanket caught on fire,
so our house nearly burnt down.
He burnt his stomach from the ash.
Then he must've woken up.
"Oh, hot! Oh, hot!"
- No, he doesn't wake up. / - No?
He just screams once and goes back to sleep.
(His sleep beats the pain)
How surprising.
He fell asleep while reading for the younger girl?
It didn't happen with your older one?
He took her out in a stroller a few times.
One time, he sat down on a bench
and fell asleep.
Our daughter stood up on her stroller.
Then she fell over like this.
That happened about 3 times.
Luckily, she never got hurt.
That was fine, but...
(Is he really asleep?)
(A little while ago)
(His eyes were open)
(Closing)
(Flinch)
(He's really doing this)
That was fine,
but when our younger daughter turned one
she got sick and was hospitalized.
It was noisy all of a sudden.
I went to see what happened.
He had her on his stomach and fell asleep.
She slipped and fell.
Oh no.
He doesn't fall asleep when he eats?
He eats very well.
Does he wake up when it's time to eat?
Yes. Even on his day off,
eating time must be set on his body.
He wakes up when it's time to eat
and then goes back to sleep.
I'm sure he can't fall asleep here.
I think he's asleep.
He is?
Is he really asleep?
You can wake up now.
(Not moving)
(Wake up, Dad)
He wasn't deep asleep.
(He sleeps anywhere like this)
Were you asleep? Or could you not do it?
I dozed off for a bit.
- You were asleep? / - Yes.
People doubted me.
But I think it's genetic. His father is the same.
He can fall asleep
even when it's very noisy around him.
But my husband is worse.
What was the longest you were asleep?
After work,
I was about to go home, but I fell asleep.
I slept for 2 days.
In your car?
Didn't you call or go wake him up?
No. If he parks close to our house
I always go down
and yell at him to wake up.
So now he parks very far away.
I went everywhere to look for him,
but I couldn't find him.
I thought he got in an accident.
I called him more than 500 times.
- Then he called. / - He woke up.
"I'm sorry.
I fell asleep on the road."
- For 2 days? / - Yes.
He didn't go to the restroom?
He woke up because he was hungry.
Unbelievable.
Did you really wake up because you were hungry?
Yes.
You must really be concerned.
Their daughters are here, too.
Do you understand your mom's concern?
Yes, I do.
Dad doesn't do anything when he's home.
When Mom is about to ask him for something,
he leaves saying he left something in his car.
Does he make you do things?
Yes. He's always lying down.
"Hansol, get me some water."
"Hansol, get me my medicine."
He keeps calling my name
so I wish I didn't have a name.
(It's that bad?)
Why doesn't he make your sister do things?
My sister acts cute to him
so he makes me do things more.
(What?)
(Realistic sisters)
I hate massaging Dad's legs.
His legs are so strong and hard
so my hands hurt when I massage them.
That's understandable.
Then why don't you say no?
I still do it because
he has a tough job.
He works hard to earn money so
I do it to help him out.
She says such beautiful things.
Hansol, you should learn how to do that.
Little white lies.
As a daughter, you could whine, couldn't you?
But if I do, I'm afraid there may be problems.
What problems?
What happens?
If I get mad at Dad,
Mom and Dad end up fighting.
I stopped them so they won't get divorced.
And when they fight, Dad cusses.
(What?)
- In front of you guys? / - Yes.
So my sister covered my ears so I can't hear it.
It's bad enough to fight in front of them,
but you cuss, too?
She wakes me up
right when I'm about to fall asleep so I get mad.
That's why we fought a few times.
- That's not true. / - She says it isn't true.
I don't ever get mad at the girls.
He says he doesn't get mad at them.
He said that he cusses at the wall.
If we are in the master bedroom
he comes and says, "Am I your enemy?
Why are you leaving me out?" and cusses.
(Please don't fight)
If he continues to do this,
what will you do?
I thought about getting a divorce.
One time, I got so mad and ran out.
After a few hours, my girls called me.
Your daughters?
"Mom, where are you?
I'm hungry. I miss you."
It broke my heart and I went back home.
(She thought about divorcing him)
(But she didn't because of her daughters)
The hardest was when I was sick.
My stomach hurt so bad at night.
I woke him up but he wouldn't wake up.
So I hailed a cab and went to a hospital.
- By yourself? / - Yes.
The ER in the middle of the night.
I must've called him about 50 times.
You need a guardian to get tested.
He finally came and said,
"Where does it hurt?"
He should've asked, "Are you all right?"
I understand that it was late at night
and I know that you must've been tired.
But your kids and your wife want you to be
the man of the house when they need you.
Why don't you talk to her
when your wife tries to talk to you?
Are you mad at her about something?
After we're done eating dinner
they all go into their own rooms
like they planned it or something.
They don't care about me.
I felt left out several times.
I think he's not interested in us.
I once asked him,
"Do you know what grade I'm in?"
He said that he doesn't know.
I asked him, "Do you know how old I am?"
He said, "7th grade? 8th grade?"
Ask him now.
Do you know how old I am?
16.
(Disappointed)
- I'm 15 years old. / - He got it wrong.
But he said that she's 16.
(Disappointed once again)
Your wife will give up if you keep this up.
What do you think about that?
After listening to my wife and daughters,
I had many thoughts.
As long as you change...
I feel bad for my wife.
I should try to change.
After I come home from work
I'll try to do the dishes
and do laundry.
I will try to find things I need to do.
While he was talking,
his daughters were staring at him in disbelief.
Is that what you want from him?
What do you really want from him?
I want him to be a true father to the kids.
I want to be able to rely on him.
Someone I can trust.
I have a favor to ask you.
You need to change your tone. It makes me sleepy.
Your tone can put him to sleep.
I keep dozing off when you talk.
If you want him to change, you must change, too.
"Honey, just eat one bowl of rice.
After you're done, go take a walk."
All you have to do now is get married.
(She knows the theories 100%!)
It's too late. Introduce me to a dad.
(Perplexed)
As the head of the household,
please say a word to your family.
You married me because you trusted me,
but I've changed for the worse.
I'm sorry I was never there for you.
I'll try to become a husband
you can rely on
and become a proud father to our girls.
I'll do my best.
I love you, Miae.
Miae.
(She's holding back her smile)
- Sir. / - An awkward smile.
(Let's be happy)
Honey!
I love you.
(Mom said that?)
He's too shy to look at her.
Are you happy?
I am very happy.

I think it's a concern, too.
I think it's a concern, too.
I think they should understand him, too.
Who isn't tired if you go to work at 4 a.m.
and come home at 8 p.m.?
If you scorn him for that
I think you're being disrespectful.
Thank you.
I think it's a concern, too.
I do understand what you're saying,
but you must be responsible for your family.
He knows what women want.
I nearly fell for you, too.
She nearly fell for you. Be careful.
If you think this is a concern for her,
