Na Hae Soo

Tae-ha is the second, illegitimate son of the Beom family patriarch, Beom Tae-joo. He was taken into the family after his mother's death or disappearance.
Abuse and Neglect: He grew up in an emotionally neglectful and physically abusive environment. His father, while wanting him to succeed him, was cold and aloof, and Tae-ha's legitimate older brother, Tae-hee, deeply hated him and physically abused him.
Lack of Affection: Due to this environment, Tae-ha was not taught how to receive or express healthy love. It is theorized that he associates receiving attention with being beaten, which affects his adult relationships and potentially leads to self-harm.
Connection to Na Hae-soo: The primary mystery of his past is the origin of his obsession with Na Hae-soo. The leading theory among fans is that he met her as a child, and she showed him a singular act of kindness or genuine care which he clung to, forming the basis of his long-standing, intense fixation on her years later.
Involvement in Debt Collection: Tae-ha is involved in his family's dark business, which includes debt collection. It is heavily implied that the very debt Min-cheol and Hae-soo incurred was through the Beom company, and Tae-ha may have orchestrated or been present during the initial debt collection process, observing Hae-soo from a distance before directly entering her life.
