Do Hye-jeong.
A former actress and the wife of National Assembly member Seong Dae-ho.
And to Seong Ji-min, she was her stepmother.
About ten years ago, she married Dae-ho, who had just lost his wife.
The marriage itself hadn't been smooth.
At the time, Hye-jeong was a rising lead actress in dramas, and Dae-ho was a promising young politician.
The two first met at a government-sponsored cultural arts support project.
Politicians at these events usually only showed up for photo ops and disappeared right after.
But he was different.
Dae-ho had a keen eye for culture and the arts and participated passionately in the project.
His character and refinement were impeccable. They connected effortlessly in conversation.
To Hye-jeong, he was the perfect man...
Except for the fact that he was a married man with a child.
Even after the project ended, they maintained a relationship somewhere between friends and lovers.
