Under the Eaves—Marriage Is Not a One-Person Show
Set in a modern urban family, the drama revolves around the tense relationship between a pregnant daughter-in-law, a domineering mother-in-law, and a husband caught between the two. Using pregnancy care as an excuse, the mother-in-law moves into their home and forcibly interferes with her daughter-in-law's diet, daily routine, and lifestyle under the pretext of doing what is best for the baby. She stubbornly clings to outdated beliefs about pregnancy and childbirth, even searching for folk remedies to ensure the baby will be a boy. Initially, the daughter-in-law silently endures and gives in, while her husband constantly tries to keep the peace and avoids confronting the problem, allowing the rift between the two women to deepen. When the mother-in-law forces her daughter-in-law to drink an unknown herbal remedy supposedly meant to protect the pregnancy, nearly endangering the unborn child, it becomes the breaking point. Heartbroken and disillusioned, the daughter-in-law decides to move out.
