Family by Choice cast member Bae Hyeon Seong has spilled some details about his character in the upcoming JTBC drama. The actor will portray Kang Hae Jun, an innocent man who values his family more than anything else. Hyeon Seong described Hae Jun as a person who seems bright on the surface.
However, the character carries pain inside. He intentionally shows off his brighter side to hide his pain from others. According to the actor, the viewers might feel empathy towards Hae Jun when they see him smiling brightly and passing refreshing energy to the people around him.

I intentionally tried to show a brighter side. I thought the brighter Kang Hae Jun appears, the more sympathy viewers might feel for him," Hyeon Seong shared.
