The couple Park Seok-cheol (played by Lee Dong-wook) and Kang Mi-young (played by Lee Sung-kyung), who were continuing a sweet romance, faced the variable of a breakup. In a complexly entwined relationship, Kang Tae-hoon’s (played by Park Hoon) growing greed led him to demand a breakup between Kang Mi-young and Park Seok-cheol.
The scene of the two facing an unwanted breakup evoked sympathy and heightened curiosity about the future direction of their romance.
In addition, the ongoing battle between organizations reaching extremes, the threat closing in on Park Seok-cheol, and Park Seok-hee’s (played by Ryu Hye-young) worries at the crossroads between dreams and reality add interest to ‘Kind Man’. Thus, we highlighted the key points to watch for in the second half until the end.
# Lee Sung-kyung declares a breakup! Under the precarious variable of Park Hoon, where will the romance lead?!
Despite the harsh reality, Park Seok-cheol and Kang Mi-young supported each other. Their love, as lengthy as the time they longed for each other, was tender and exciting. To Park Seok-cheol and Kang Mi-young, each other’s presence was like a ray of light in their tough reality.
However, when Kang Tae-hoon revealed his irresistible greed to Kang Mi-young, a variable appeared in their romance. Under Kang Tae-hoon’s orders, a truck suddenly collided with Park Seok-cheol. Kang Tae-hoon admitted to Kang Mi-young that he orchestrated the incident and urged a breakup by saying, “Let’s break up. At least in that way, Seok-cheol won’t get hurt because of me.”
The thought that Park Seok-cheol, who always sacrificed for her, might be in real danger tormented Kang Mi-young. When Park Seok-cheol, always kind and caring as usual, inquired about her wellbeing, Kang Mi-young declared, “I think we should stop seeing each other.” Their deeply entwined feelings had ultimately become a weakness for both.
In a previous teaser, Park Seok-cheol heightens tension by asking Kang Tae-hoon, “Do you like Mi-young? Will you really kill me because of a woman?” With Park Seok-cheol and Kang Mi-young facing the greatest challenge, their romance’s future is more intriguing than ever.
# ‘Resignation Submitted’ Lee Dong-wook, can he break free from the organization → Who is the perpetrator who stabbed Lee Dong-wook? ‘Curiosity ↑’
Park Seok-cheol, who didn’t want to but became a gangster to support his family after his father, Park Sil-gon (played by Cheon Ho-jin), was imprisoned. He diligently endured organizational life, and to set his twisted life right, he decided to leave the organization.
Leaving an organization he had been in for a long time was not as easy as he thought. The constantly problematic members and the escalating rivalry between Myeongsan Industrial and Samjun Construction entangled Park Seok-cheol.
Determined, he submitted his resignation, but the threats against Park Seok-cheol did not end. The identity of the man who shocked audiences from the opening of episode 1 by wielding a knife at Park Seok-cheol remains a mystery.
Viewers are forming various speculations, wondering if it could be Kang Tae-hoon, Kim Chang-soo (played by Lee Mun-sik), or Oh Sang-yeol (played by Han Jae-young) who was not acknowledged as the second-in-command in a tangled misunderstanding with Park Seok-cheol.
It remains to be seen who will plunge Park Seok-cheol into a dire crisis and whether he can overcome numerous challenges to completely leave the organization and begin a new life.
# Cheon Ho-jinXOh Na-raXRyu Hye-young reflecting on the meaning of a destined family! The last story of ‘Seok-cheol Family’
Attention is focused on the final story of the family bonded by blood, which is thicker than water. The oldest sibling, Park Seok-gyeong (played by Oh Na-ra), who failed in marriage and business and then entered a gambling den, had left the house. Her longing and maternal love for her son Hyeong-geun (played by Choi I-jun) finally brought Park Seok-gyeong back home.
The problematic eldest returned home, but unresolved issues remained for the family. It concerned the enormous debt Park Seok-gyeong borrowed against the house. In a situation where they might have to sell their cherished house filled with family memories, the weight on patriarch Park Sil-gon’s shoulders felt heavier than ever.
Moreover, Park Seok-hee’s internal conflict between an old dream of studying abroad and family reality evoked empathy and sympathy from viewers.
They sometimes resented and hated each other but also cared more about each other than anyone else, reflecting the meaning of family ‘Seok-cheol Family’. The conclusion of their final story as an inseparable family is highly anticipated.
Meanwhile, JTBC’s Friday series ‘Kind Man’ episodes 11 and 12 will air consecutively on the 22nd (Friday) at 8:50 PM.
