Yewon
: After high school, she falls for Han Ju-eon , a wealthy man stuck in a loveless business marriage. She acknowledges the immorality of the affair but remains deeply "addicted" to him.
Manipulation and Power

This highlights a theme common in darker manhwas: how trauma and secrets can make an individual vulnerable to further exploitation.
