I feel bad for old man and Haebom and his mom. Although I understand old man's decision not to tell when he left. The very least he could've done was tell someone about Hyeonji before he underwent surgery back in the states. He could've told a family, friend, or even the doctor in case something happened. But I guess he left without a word because he was expecting the worse and did not want to burden Haebom's mom.
If he did tell someone and the worse thing happened, I guess him leaving without a word would be useless if they informed Hyeonji of his passing. Hearing about your loved ones passing whithout you being there at their hardest times or even knowing about it is something I can't even fathom... but still, he could just note that they dont need to tell her if he dies... but then I guess they would still feel obligated to despite the old mans wish. I feel conflicted.
Old man probably thought it's better to be an asshole than to burden someone of something inevitable. I hate that he thought this and did that, I would too but I hate it. Honestly, I would 100% feel better if Hyeonji resented him. Maybe she did, but as far as I remember she had nothing but good things to say about him to Haebom.... why doomed when green? I did not consent to this angst :'D
I'll be more comfortable on hating him if he started a family in the states, although its not his fault he did not recover his memory. I just dont remember if Hyeoji had another relationship after he left, if she did that would ease my mind a lot more.
He could've made contingency plans tho. Notes, diaries, journals, pictures, and little things about his life in korea before he went under the scalpel. Not like he expected losing memories, but the fact that his symptoms include memory loss, those are things he could've done even before he decided on surgery. But I guess having a tumor in ur head and on top of that being told that you have very little time left in your life, decisions and detailed plans like that aren't exactly to be expected.
