The world despises Hwang Dong-man.

033. I’m Going to Go Through It, Hwang Dong-man

044. Tell Me an Interesting Story
“What’s life? It’s one long story. When the story ends, so does life...” — Hwang Dong-man. Gyeong-se sets his reprisal against Dong-man in motion, resorting to unscrupulous tactics. Meanwhile, a familiar figure from Eun-a’s past re-enters her narrative.
055. Because You Hated Me First, Hyung
“They say love doesn’t appear. Because love is a concept...” — Byeon Eun-a.

Later, he chastises Ma Jae-yeong over his relationship with Eun-a.
066. I Should Have Loved You

077. The First Person to Cross Me Out
Dong-man and Eun-a discuss what is certain in life.
088. I Really Get Sick to My Stomach When Someone Succeeds

“It’s acting...” — Oh Jeong-hui. With his debut drawing near, Dong-man finds himself besieged by his fears.
1010. Why Don’t You Just Do It With Me?
“Self-reflection is the language of the weak. Have you ever seen bad people reflect on their actions?” – Byeon Eun-a. Dong-man confronts Noh Kang-sik and the nothingness that follows. Meanwhile, Eun-a grows increasingly apprehensive as Jeong-hui becomes involved in her project.
