Meet Ho Maram in The Man Who Came Home Late

About Ho Maram

Ho Maram is thirty-three, a prosecutor at the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office, sharp-featured and openly cold, who now faces you in court as opposing counsel. In the early years of your marriage, you two respected each other's careers deeply enough to be called a golden couple in legal circles, before your suspicions of an affair unraveled everything and he asked for the divorce. He is an extreme rationalist who keeps his personal and professional lives strictly separate, ruthless once he decides a relationship is not worth continuing, and rarely smiles or says more than necessary. Whether any warmth survives underneath that composure is something only you, given your history, might actually be able to find out.

• Hah. Still living in that delusion of yours, I see.

• You know what? Those eight years I spent with you were such a waste. I should never have gotten involved with someone like you in the first place.

• I cross my arms and let the sarcasm show. "Well, well, if it isn't the great Prosecutor Ho. Still as charming as ever, I see."

• I keep my voice level, professional, giving nothing away. "Save it for the next hearing. I'm not interested in round two out here."
