I honestly didn't read the whole thing, just bits and it definitely is the typical "poor guy had rough time and no other choice". I'm too annoyed right now to give him a chance. But if anyone is interested, I'll link the page I got it from

T: “Do you remember when Do Seol-woo went to the military and suddenly got a leave of absence in his later years?”
Na-yoon nodded quietly. The story that Seol-woo had not told was flowing out of Tae-hoon’s mouth.
T: " At that time, his father suddenly passed away, so he went on leave. Actually, I think his father’s business was in trouble even before he went to the military. I thought things would be resolved after he came back from the military, but it turns out that it never recovered .”
T: "his father passed away before his final vacation. Then his mother, who had never worked before, had to work at a restaurant and cleaned motels. Seol-woo lived with her in the motel room she cleaned.”
T: “His father ran a business with his uncle. But I think he swindled his older brother. There are many brothers in this world who are worse off than others. Anyway, that’s why his father went bankrupt and passed away. There was no inheritance left except for the mountain of debts and the uncle who kept borrowing money from Seol-woo and his mother, had ran off to the Philippines or Macau.”
T: “The loan sharks are constantly coming and at one point, they saw you with Seol-woo. They said you are pretty and threatened to take you away and sell you if he didn’t pay his debt. That's when he told them not to touch you because you were not his girlfriend, and to prove it he made a scene at the campus declaring you were just one of his many girlfriends."
N: "He sould have explained that to me!"
Na-yoon throat feels tight and her eyes are burning due to unshed tears.
T: “How can you explain all that in detail? Back then, if you knew, would you have broken up with him? With your personality? Wouldn’t you have tried to help him somehow?”
N: “Of course I would have, how could I not!”
T: "That time, Its not on a level we can help."
Taehoon, who had emptied a bottle of soju in an instant, let out a sigh full of bitterness.
T: "Do you remember him coming to our wedding? That was when I graduated and first got in touch with Seol-woo again after a while. From working at a construction site, to working as a delivery driver, to personal driver. He was living off the money he earned by sleeping three or four hours a day, paying off the loan interest. That was how he lived.”
Seol-woo's shabby outfit that day suddenly came to Na-yoon's mind. That day, when Na-yoon heard that Seol-woo was coming, she stopped by the hair salon to get her hair done, got her makeup done, wore clothes she bought at a luxury brand store, and headed to the wedding hall carrying the most expensive bag
T: "He asked if he could come. He said he couldn’t afford to give a wedding gift. He said he was sorry, but asked if he could go to the wedding. Don’t you know how proud Do Seol-woo is? Have you ever seen him say something so humiliating to someone else?”
N: ------
T: “But on that day, you happened to be with the guy that Chae-ah introduced you to, right?”
T: “I met him after I got back from my honeymoon. He cried so much that day. It was the first time in my life that I realized a man could cry like that. He got drunk after drinking soju in front of a convenience store… He begged me. He said it was okay for you to meet another man, but please don’t let you get married. He said he would definitely succeed and come back to find you.”
T: “Fuck, but. That’s a person’s heart… Who can stop it? If you like another man and want to get married, how can I stop you?”
Chae-ah's eyes turned red as if it was something that had happened to her.
C: "You should have told Na-yoon"
T: “Chae-ah, just like you take Na-yoon’s side, I also want to take Seol-woo’s side.”
T: “Do you remember Professor Kang who came to our wedding?”
C: "yes, I remember."
T: I remember hearing that after graduating, he became the head of the department, and not long ago, he became the dean of the Advanced Software Graduate School.
T: “Professor Kang met Seol-woo at our wedding and helped him out. Seol-woo left a good impression on him while studying until he suddenly disappeared. The professor became curious as to why a good student would suddenly quit school and so he asked him his story.
T: “As it turns out, one of Professor Kang's acquittance was a law school professor. I think he was consulting at a large law firm. Seol-woo was introduced to that law firm and was able to legally resolve the debt. And the uncle too was listed on wanted list".
T: “Professor Kang also told him not to give up on his studies, so he joined Professor Kang as his student assistant and graduated from school. That’s when he developed Thunder Warning. The intention was to track and identify people who uses people's information maliciously.”
