** [[JerkassWoobie Lee Dong-seok]] once lived a happy life with his sister, father and mother. Unfortunately, a series of tragedies led to both his sister and father dying at sea. A month after this his mother remarried to one of his father's friends, a decision he vehemently disagreed with. [[spoiler:When he tried to dissuade his mom (who told him that ''[[ParentalAbandonment she's not his mom anymore]]'') from doing this, he was slapped over a dozen times before he started to bleed.]] His stepbrothers would beat him up as well, [[spoiler:sometimes in full view of his mother who did nothing to stop it.]] During this time, he fell in love with fellow woobie Seon-a. She [[AllLoveIsUnrequited would never reciprocate his feelings]], and he was fooled into thinking that she had been sleeping with his best friend. A short while after this, Dong-seok would grab all the valuables in his stepdad's house and would run away from home to make a living in Seoul. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, it only amounted to about 20 million Won. Meaning that he still had to live in poverty.]] He would later have a brief reunion with Seon-a, which would end in her telling him that she ''still'' has no feelings for him. Later returning to Jeju to make a living once again, he would be forced to work in full view of his [[SarcasmMode beloved]] mother who would never apologize to him for her actions. [[spoiler:When he finally reconciles with her, she dies the next day]]. ''Damn''.

** All but one of Hyeon Chun-hui's children [[OutlivingOnesOffspring died before reaching adulthood]], that one child being Son Man-su. Her husband also died at an unspecified time in her life before Son Man-su left for the mainland, leaving Chun-hui alone with only Kang Ok-dong as company. All of these tragedies have left her [[TheCynic somewhat jaded and cynical]], though she continues working as a ''haenyo'' to support Son Man-su and his family. [[spoiler:When she finds out that Son Man-su is in critical condition as a result of a car accident, she mourns her son and curses fate for giving her a cruel hand in life.
