Love at first sight

A thrill from the first meeting.

Love is always difficult to explain. Sometimes, just a glance, a word, and two people can overcome geographical distance, age differences, cultural and language barriers, and come together.

Nguyen Thi Thu Ha (born in 2000, Ho Chi Minh City) and Han Chung Su (born in 1980, South Korea) are one such couple.

Thu Ha and her husband have a 20-year age difference.

Despite being 20 years apart in age, born and raised in two different countries, they didn't even understand each other when they first met. Yet, they were still drawn to each other, fell in love, and decided to spend their lives together.

Han Chung Su is an automotive repair and maintenance engineer who currently runs a used car repair and sales shop. He's so engrossed in his work that he doesn't have time for dating, and he's still unmarried in his late 30s.

Thu Ha is an optimistic and cheerful girl, especially fond of Korean movies and music . Since her school days, she has dreamed of studying in South Korea.

In 2015, a family tragedy struck, forcing Thu Ha to drop out of high school. For the next four years, she worked various jobs, from factory worker and assistant at a bubble tea shop to selling goods online, to earn money to support her mother and younger brother's education. Her dream of studying in South Korea also came to an end.

In 2019, introduced to potential partners by friends, Ha decided to "give it a try." She met a few people but wasn't satisfied. "Coincidentally, my husband at the time was also introduced to a few people by friends in Vietnam, but they weren't impressive. It wasn't until he met me that he felt something, and so did I," Ha recounted.

The couple were smitten from the first meeting.

From their very first meeting, the couple were smitten with each other. Chung Su liked Thu Ha's radiant smile, while Ha was impressed by his handsome appearance and politeness.

After their meeting, they decided to get to know each other better. Chung Su stayed in Vietnam for a week, spending time with Thu Ha, before returning to South Korea for work. He promised to return in three months to meet Ha's family and discuss marriage, but the Covid-19 pandemic struck, and they were in a long-distance relationship for almost a year.

“We met for the first time in December 2019. We registered our marriage in July 2020. During that nearly one year, my husband and I only met once,” Ha shared.

Throughout their long-distance relationship, they communicated via text messages and video calls. Chung Su's attentiveness warmed Thu Ha's heart. They proactively learned Vietnamese and Korean to better understand each other.

Despite moments of intense arguments that seemed destined to end their relationship, their genuine love led them to set aside their egos, compromise, and listen to each other.

Happy marriage

In October 2020, Thu Ha moved to South Korea to live with her husband and his family. Nearly a year later, the couple held a dream wedding. Ha's dream of experiencing Korean life and culture had come true.

Thu Ha's happy home

Thu Ha and Chung Su's marriage, with its significant age difference, was supported by both families. Ha's parents were relieved to see their gentle and considerate Korean son-in-law. Her husband's parents were also very happy to have a kind, polite, and well-behaved Vietnamese daughter-in-law.

"My husband and I don't mind the age difference at all. We have similar thoughts and views on life, so there's no obstacle," Ha said.

Thu Ha has given birth to two sons. She lives with her husband's parents and is currently studying Korean while also helping her mother-in-law run their restaurant.

Ha's life as a daughter-in-law was very smooth. She was loved by her husband and meticulously taught everything by her parents-in-law.

Returning home from the restaurant, Ha didn't have to lift a finger. Her mother-in-law took care of everything: cooking, housework, and more. Both times she was pregnant and gave birth, her mother-in-law took meticulous care of her.

"Sometimes there are misunderstandings, but my mother-in-law only teaches gently, not harshly like I used to think about the mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship."

"Moreover, my husband is fair-minded, so everything is resolved in a positive way," Ha shared.

Thu Ha and Chung Su's marriage is going very smoothly.

Although he doesn't say romantic words or express sweet emotions, according to Ha, Chung Su is a thoughtful and responsible man. Especially after having children, Ha has seen her husband's attentiveness even more clearly.

Chung Su is willing to work hard so that his wife and children can have a comfortable life. Since getting married, he has put aside his personal hobbies to spend time taking care of his wife and children. Their life flows peacefully each day, making Thu Ha cherish every moment.

"My husband and his parents have always been my source of inspiration, guiding me towards good things. He also cares about my family in Vietnam, occasionally inviting my parents to visit in Korea so I don't feel lonely being far from home."

"As time goes by, life has its ups and downs, but we always try our best for each other," Ha shared.
