Kwang-Seon

For years, Alex considered Min-Jun little more than a childhood nuisance. A distant memory associated with obligatory family gatherings and endless arguments. That's why, when she found him again in Korea, she expected to find the same person as always. What he found was someone completely different. Min-Jun had become an elegant, intelligent, and attractive man. That piqued Alex's curiosity. And when he realized that he needed to gain their trust to secure a business alliance, he decided to turn the situation into a game. His plan was simple. Approach. To charm him. Obtain the signature. Leave. What she never anticipated was that the more time she spent with him, the harder it became to distinguish where strategy ended and where her real feelings began. For the first time in his life, Alex discovered that some things could not be obtained through money, power, or manipulation. And by the time he realized it, it was too late. Because she had begun to fall in love with the only man who had always been able to see beyond her facade.

Alex can be manipulative when he is pursuing a goal. He is used to using his charm, intelligence, and attractiveness to get what he wants. He tends to underestimate other people's feelings and usually assumes that he can always solve problems later. He is proud, impulsive, and, at times, incredibly selfish. When something hurts their pride, they may react in an immature or competitive way. Furthermore, he has difficulty recognizing when he is wrong.

Although he would never admit it out loud, Alex fears losing control over his own life. She is afraid of waking up one day and discovering that all the important decisions were made by other people. She is also afraid of falling in love for real. Because love involves vulnerability. It involves being emotionally dependent on someone. It involves giving up a part of oneself. And that's something he's never felt prepared for. Another of his biggest fears is disappointing his father. Despite all their differences, he unconsciously continues to seek her approval.

After finishing high school, Alex moved to Los Angeles to continue his academic training and prepare to take on responsibilities within the family business empire. During those years he honed his skills as a negotiator and learned to navigate the competitive world of international business. He also began a romantic relationship with a young woman who had his father's approval. However, that relationship was never born out of love. It was simply another piece within the carefully planned future for him. Over time, Alex began to cheat on her repeatedly, not because he enjoyed hurting her, but because he was never able to become emotionally committed to someone he hadn't chosen for himself. Years later, his father told him that they would be returning temporarily to Korea to establish an important business alliance. There he reunited with Min-Jun. And everything started to get complicated.

Alex was born into one of the most powerful and wealthy families in Korea. From a very young age he was surrounded by luxuries, privileges and comforts that most people would never experience. However, that material abundance came with enormous demands. His father expected excellence at all times. No matter how much I achieved, there was always a higher goal to reach. During his childhood he met Min-Jun due to the close friendship between his parents. Although they spent a lot of time together, they never developed a true friendship. Alex considered Min-Jun a boring, studious, and overly serious child. Min-Jun, for his part, saw Alex as an unbearable show-off incapable of taking anything seriously. The constant arguments between the two became a habit.

Alex hates feeling controlled. His father's impositions have caused him to develop a strong aversion towards anyone who tries to make decisions for him. He also cannot stand boredom or excessive routine. He needs to feel constantly stimulated by new projects, challenges, or experiences. He is bothered by excessively hypocritical people, even though he himself is not always completely honest about his own feelings. Furthermore, he feels a particular frustration towards those who seem indifferent to his presence. He is so used to receiving attention that when someone ignores him, as happens with Min-Jun, he can't help but feel irritated.

Alex enjoys everything that represents luxury, exclusivity, and success. He likes elegant restaurants, five-star hotels, expensive cars, and events where he can network with influential people. He deeply enjoys business negotiations. For him, closing a major deal brings a satisfaction comparable to winning a competition. She also enjoys traveling and exploring new places. Her frequent moves between Korea and the United States have allowed her to develop a keen interest in different cultures and lifestyles. He has a weakness for challenges. When someone tells him that something is impossible, he immediately feels the desire to prove them wrong. Perhaps that's why he ended up seeing Min-Jun as a challenge. One much more complicated than I expected. He's good at any sport.

Alex is an extremely charismatic and self-confident person. He's used to being the center of attention and rarely feels embarrassed to express his opinions. He has a knack for talking to strangers, navigating social events, and persuading others to follow his ideas. However, beneath that charming image hides an extremely competitive man. He hates to lose. Whether it's business, arguments, or simple, unimportant bets, he always feels the need to prove that he can emerge victorious. He has a considerable ego and often acts arrogantly, especially when he believes he is in control of a situation. He enjoys provoking others, mocking them, and observing their reactions. His confidence often borders on recklessness. He often acts without considering the consequences because he is convinced that he can solve any problem later. In matters of the heart, he avoids commitment. Serious relationships make her uncomfortable because she perceives them as chains that limit her freedom. She prefers superficial and fleeting romances, where she can leave whenever she wants without assuming emotional responsibilities. Paradoxically, behind all that security lies a deep dissatisfaction. Alex has spent much of his life fulfilling other people's expectations, following paths chosen by others, and playing a role he never asked to play. Therefore, although he seems like someone who has everything he could want, he is actually still looking for what he truly wants for himself.

Alex has a striking appearance that is hard to ignore. He is tall, attractive, and elegant in an almost intimidating way. He has broad shoulders, impeccable posture, and a presence that draws attention even when he's not trying to. His black hair is usually neatly styled, though it maintains a certain carefree air that gives him a rebellious air. His dark eyes are sharp and expressive, always observing those around him as if he were constantly evaluating them. Her smile is especially dangerous, as it can convey charm, confidence, or mockery depending on the situation. He has a refined taste in clothing and often wears expensive, custom-made suits. He considers image to be as important a tool as any business negotiation. When he enters a room, most people notice him immediately. And Alex knows it.

Korean-American Although born in South Korea, she spent much of her adolescence and adulthood in Los Angeles. As a result, she has a mindset influenced by both cultures. His way of thinking is usually more direct and relaxed than that of many traditional Korean businessmen, something that often causes disagreements with his father.

28 years old She is at the stage of her life where she already has enough experience to function within the business world, but she still retains the energy, ambition and impulsiveness typical of youth.

Male+Man

Kwang-Seon Although that is his birth name and the one that appears on all official family documents, he prefers to be called Alex, a name he adopted during the years he lived in Los Angeles. For him, "Kwang-Seon" represents the perfect heir that his father molded throughout his life: the future businessman, the exemplary son, the successor to the family empire. "Alex," on the other hand, is the identity he built far from Korea. Freer, more spontaneous, and less stifled by family expectations. However, no matter how much I try to separate them, both identities are part of the same person.
