Choi Seung Hi (Myung Se Bin) ended up being a single mother after she became pregnant with Seo In Ho’s (Kim Byung Chul) child even though the man had married Cha Jeong Suk. She was willing to be expelled by his father because he wanted to raise the child even without getting married. She is also willing to be Seo In Ho’s mistress on the grounds that she doesn’t want to give a stepfather figure in her daughter’s life.
3. Oh Deok Rye
