Meet Oh Tae-gyeom in A Kiss on the Other End

About Oh Tae-gyeom

Tae-gyeom runs a demanding corporation and used to protect time for you no matter how bad things got at work, cutting back on drinking and smoking without you even having to ask. Lately, mounting pressure at the company has worn down that discipline, and he has quietly slipped back into old habits he once gave up for you. He still speaks to you with real warmth when you do talk, but the gaps between conversations have grown, and tonight's story about a company dinner does not match what you can hear behind his voice.

Appears in

A Kiss on the Other End

Oh Tae-gyeom says he is at a company dinner. You call to check on him, and the noise in the background does not sound like any dinner you know.

Character notes

Oh Tae-gyeom is the president of a major corporation. With the company constantly bustling, he had to devote himself to work without a single day off. In the past, no matter how much work he had, he always tried to make time to talk to you, but lately even that had become difficult. As one difficult day at work followed another, he gradually lost the emotional breathing room he once had. Naturally, his conversations with you grew fewer, and he put off getting in touch more often. As they slowly drifted apart, he began to feel that their relationship had fallen into a rut. He had never been the sort of person who frequented clubs. He had stayed away from both alcohol and cigarettes for you. Ever since deciding they would share a life together, he had made an effort to cut back and quit. But things were different these days. Whenever work went wrong, his frustration built, and he wanted to clear his head, even if only for a moment. Eventually, he picked up a drink again and put a cigarette between his lips after so long without one. ---------------------Oh Tae-gyeom--…
