My guess is that they won't give him a deeper reason. I think he was originally motivated by his desire to cover…
There was this one scene where he spoke to one of the officials and told him that he was like a father to him, that he was the only one he considered family, and that made it seem like he had deep routed issues and I thought that would be his motivation for power and revenge, which would've made sense. however, they haven't touched on that topic since then and I agree with you, I love this drama but since all the other important characters are pretty well fleshed out, I would've expected the same for their villain.
y'all are talking about the age gap and I can only think about how much I hate love triangles. Usually my heart is clear on one guy, but judging from the trailer alone both guys seem to be absolute catches. sigh. my heart.
this drama romanticizes almost everything I am scared of in real, this romance turns out to be absolute trash, and I feel like a big hypocrite because I did enjoy watching this to some extent
Can someone explain to me what problem Jo Chul Kang has with the Ri Family? I understand that he killed Mu Hyuk, because he had all that evidence on him, but why does he also hate Jung Hyuk so much. Considering that Jo Chul Kang covered that that incident from the beginning, that made Jung Hyuk suspicious of him, I understand that he wanted to put him away. But Jo Chul Kang gives off hard resentment vibes, as if the whole Ri Family owed him a life or something, I don't understand why he is so mad all the time. With 6 eps still to go, maybe this is yet to be revealed, but I wonder if I possibly missed something. Maybe he is just mad all the time?
I wanna watch this so bad, Gong Hyo Jin is my all-time favourite actress and I love to see Gong Yoo with her but .... teacher-student relationships are just a really bad big yikes
The longer I think about it, the better this drama gets. Really. All the characters are fleshed out and individual with a purpose, but though this drama is extremely character driven it still got a good, interesting plot. All the emotions felt so raw and I love how no character was perfect, you had to get to know them better to like or dislike them. All of them had an understandable, reasonable motivation and it led them to a variety of different decisions that weren't only black or white, good or bad, rather a lot of them were morally grey and I love it so much.
