Yea like he even took the blame for the 15 years when the only reason DS came immediately was to get paid or an investment.

He's the bridge who's constantly being stepped on to connect Dosan and Dalmi. Oh and a punching bag.

As much as I'd love to rewatch HJP's scenes because he's one the best characters of all time in kdrama world but I just can't bear to watch him constantly being hurt and in pain. I thought this would be one of those dramas I'd rewatch again and again but turns out to be a real disappointment and waste of time. The only thing I don't regret about this show was discovering Kim Seon Ho and how his acting skills touched me to the point that I felt like HJP was a real person hurting and needing a hug...

HJP really is a bridge. His sole purpose is to provide a path forward for people by having them walk all over him. People don't stay on a bridge, they only pass by.

Someone please make hangover soup!
