In the 13th episode of Channel A’s ‘My Dad is a Flower in Middle Age’, which will air on the 18th, 54-year-old father Ahn Jae-wook will be shown visiting a specialist for psychological counseling, saying, “I want to find the cause of the unbearable weight of life.”
On this day’s broadcast, Ahn Jae-wook said, “I’ve always been interested, but I was afraid of going to the hospital because I was concerned about what other people thought,” but he visits a psychiatrist for the first time in his life and fills out a preliminary questionnaire.
Afterwards, he enters the counseling room, faces the specialist, and begins to cautiously tell his story while feeling very nervous. Here, he confesses, “15 years ago, I suffered from severe depression, so I stopped what I was doing and went on a trip for about a month,” and “I tried many times to relieve my (depressed) emotions, but honestly, I think it was always difficult.”
Meanwhile, Ahn Jae-wook calmly confesses his current situation, saying, “Regardless of my life with many twists and turns and the emotions I have because of it, I have an increasingly strong obsession with wanting my children (Soo-hyun and Do-hyun) to grow up brightly and without problems.” He also recalls his past when he had to shoulder responsibility as the head of the household, saying, “Because I didn’t grow up in a very good environment, I was never able to escape the fence and responsibility for my family,” and he keeps wiping away sweat.
Above all, Ahn Jae-wook adds to the sadness by revealing the biggest turning point in his life, the emergency surgery he had to undergo for a subarachnoid hemorrhage during a trip to the United States 11 years ago. He recalls that the surgery cost a whopping 500 million won at the time, saying, “It was a major surgery that opened up more than half of my brain, so I put everything down.” He then honestly reveals his feelings at the time, which were not entirely happy, saying, “I asked the medical staff, ‘If the surgery goes wrong, please use this opportunity to erase all the memories I want to forget. ‘”
The specialist who was listening to Ahn Jae-wook’s story said, “At that time, OOO was on the verge of collapse,” and explained, “After the surgery, it seems that the trauma and anxiety about the disease and danger have increased,” shocking Ahn Jae-wook. People are even more curious about Ahn Jae-wook’s psychological state diagnosed by the specialist and how Ahn Jae-wook will change after the consultation.
‘My Dad is a Flower in Middle Age’ will air at 9:30 PM today.
