Yes, there's such a big gap between their positions that it doesn't look like it'll be resolved easily.

우리나라는 동서 지역 어디로 가도 바다를 볼 수 있어서 좋아.

They say in the old days, families used to live together in one village.
그러게. 명절에는 일가가 모두 모일 수 있었겠네.
Right. Then the whole family could gather during holidays.

지난 주말에는 장인어른 생신이라 처가에 다녀왔어.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions
How do you talk about 친족 관계 in Korean?
These 28 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 17 6급 words in this category — 마누라, 양자, 동서, 아비, 일가 and the rest. Each is two turns, so what you see is not only how the word is used but what it is usually said in answer to.
Are these dialogues natural Korean?
They are written examples rather than transcribed speech, so they are tidier than a real conversation and shorter. What they are not is translated English: they were written in Korean, by Korean lexicographers, to show how the word behaves — which is why the speech levels and the sentence endings in them are worth copying.
