JTBC drama depicts intense divorce disputes and property division conflicts

The fourth episode of the JTBC drama "Can We Get Married?" portrays a couple's relationship collapsing due to infidelity, leading to demands for 100 million won in alimony and monthly child support of 5 million won.

The fourth episode of the JTBC drama "Can We Get Married?" depicts scenes where complex family interests clash, from the conflicts of a couple preparing for marriage to the intense demands for property division during the divorce process. The episode highlights the sharp confrontation between a couple whose relationship collapsed due to an affair and their respective families.

"100 Million Won in Alimony, I'll Take Custody"... Sharp Disputes Surrounding Divorce

The breakdown of the marital relationship began when the infidelity was revealed. The mother-in-law, enraged by her son-in-law's brazen attitude, even went to the hospital to cause a scene. In this process, the emotions between the couple reached an irreversible point. One individual declared the end of the relationship, stating, "It is much better to break up while preparing for marriage than to get married and then divorce."

The divorce process moved beyond a simple emotional fight into realistic issues of property division. Alongside a demand for 100 million won in alimony against the at-fault spouse, a specific list was presented to secure parental rights and custody. The demands included hospital land in Namyangju, five condos and officetels in Busan, half of the cash assets, and 5 million won in monthly child support, drawing a reaction from the other party that they were "like robbers." These demands, based on the seven years they lived together, demonstrated the depth of the conflict.

Between a Cathedral Wedding and a Hotel Wedding: Swapped Plans and Misaligned Sincerity

Family intervention continued even during attempts to restore the relationship. One individual tried to create an atmosphere of reconciliation by preparing eco-friendly couple T-shirts as a gift for the formal meeting between the families. The original plan for a hotel wedding was changed to a cathedral wedding, and in this process, a psychological war unfolded among family members regarding the wedding venue.

The gap between the side insisting on a hotel wedding and the side advocating for a cathedral wedding could not be narrowed. In particular, sudden changes in plans, such as claiming "there are no seats at the hotel" or "I have already spoken to the cathedral office," shook the trust among family members. This acted as a device to reveal the attitudes and power dynamics of each individual toward the ritual of marriage, beyond a simple matter of location.

"Two-faced"... The Raw Face of Families Where Sincerity and Calculation Mix

The actions of family members are sometimes wrapped in goodwill, but it is revealed that calculations lie beneath. While one individual showed their best efforts by preparing a luxury handbag to please the other party, a situation was staged where they were criticized for being dishonest, with comments that they were "two-faced."

The psychological pressure of "wedding preparation depression" occurring during the wedding planning process, along with the difference in the scale of the ceremony based on economic capability (such as loan issues), shows the realistic hardships faced by the characters without filter. The drama portrays the complex psychological dynamics occurring under the name of family, as the fundamental question of "who you are with is what matters" intersects with cynical responses such as "you will come to know why where you do it is important."
