Park Sung-hoon effortlessly embodies multifaceted Yoon Eun-seong.

His magnetic presence on screen, whether as a charming love interest or a nuanced rival, keeps viewers hooked. His ability to infuse depth and authenticity into his roles leaves a lasting impression, resonating with audiences on an emotional level.

Unlike the other top characters who inspire admiration or intrigue, Eun-seong's veiled intentions raise a red flag.

He consistently targets both Hae-in and Hyun-woo, inflicting emotional wounds and potentially threatening their families.

His motives remain shrouded in mystery, but his calculated actions suggest a hidden agenda that could wreak havoc on the lives of those he claims to care about.

This underlying malice positions him as a compelling antagonist, but not necessarily a character we want to see on top.
