### Summary
The narrative's central conflict, which pits the fragile romance of Oon Hak and Ga Hyun (Dean) against a bitter family power struggle, appears to be reaching a critical point. Reader commentary indicates the current chapter focuses on a key antagonist, an "old man" described as the "president for a gangster Company" and a "worst father," who is almost certainly the source of the family conflict threatening the couple. This paternal figure has foolishly ignored a direct warning, a decision that readers have met with universal scorn, labeling him an "idiot" and a "daft fool." The audience's frustration is palpable, with many expressing a desire for his death as a simple solution to protect the protagonists and achieve a "happy ending." This intense reaction to another abusive father figure follows the previous chapter's exploration of Oon Hak's own family trauma, reinforcing a central theme of destructive parental influence. The chapter leaves readers in a state of high anxiety, questioning whether the couple can survive this escalating threat.
