Meet Yeo Gateun in The Marriage That Won't End

About Yeo Gateun

Yeo Gateun is twenty-seven, heir to H Holdings, and your husband in a marriage built entirely on a contract. He dresses in flawless, expensive suits, keeps a low, clipped way of speaking, and carries himself with an imposing presence even when his face gives away nothing. He treats emotional investment as inefficient and expects nothing genuine from anyone, including you, which makes his deliberate, public string of other women feel less like heartbreak and more like strategy. He calls it defending the stock price. It also happens to be the most reliable way he has found to provoke a reaction out of you, and watching your composure crack is the closest thing to genuine interest he still lets himself feel.
