Which is sad because the president truly loves Woo. In fact, everything the president did - getting Tae in, expanding the company, etc - was to make his wifey happy.
It’s obvious that both love each other. The fact that they won‘t end up together makes the reader get invested in the story. The author wants us to get the feeling of betrayal, sadness, pity or whatever. If not why would the author want us to like the president? Just make him seem like an asshole, let tae be the hero and the story would be finished (& probably very boring). If we weren’t invested in their relationship the plot would be meaningless
Why are people so invested with the president and woo together. We all know they both are not going to end up together at the end since this story is about Woo and Tae.
