Kang Bong-Ho (Male, 30 years old) - Played by Oh Ji-Ho
A representative Korean single father who becomes stronger with challenges. His professions are pest control specialist and amateur boxing fighter. Despite becoming an orphan at a young age, he is naturally optimistic, like a pine tree—straightforward and strong. After being abandoned by his first love, he has been raising his son San alone.
He would do anything for San. Though living happily with San, deep inside, he carries the scars left by San's mother. After his first love, he began to distrust women. When Ha-Ree launches a fierce romantic pursuit on him, his frozen heart begins to thaw.
At this moment, he reunites with San's mother, his first love Yoon So-I, and learns that So-I will become Ha-Ree's stepmother. He decides to give up his romance with Ha-Ree. The news that San has a brain tumor draws Ha-Ree, Bong-Ho, So-I, and Gi-Seok into the whirlpool of fate. With the determination to save San at all costs, Bong-Ho spares no effort to earn money, but medical expenses seem bottomless. Deceived countless times, his body broken down, yet not even God can stop his paternal love.

Selfish, rational, elegant, and confident pianist. She lost her parents in an accident and was subsequently raised by relatives. More than anyone else, she yearns for success and recognition from others, but the reality of having no money or background prevents her from showcasing her talent.
When she felt most desperate, she met Gi-Seok. She then abandoned her two deepest loves—Bong-Ho and her son San—to study abroad with Gi-Seok. Though not a cold-hearted woman, she does not want to disrupt her current peaceful and happy life, so she distances herself from Bong-Ho and her son San.
She genuinely likes and respects her sponsor Gi-Seok. Though dreaming of marrying him, due to San's illness, all truths are revealed, leading her to decide to break off her engagement with Gi-Seok.
Watching her sick son, she is saddened by the reality that she cannot do anything for him.
