kang tae-jin

“The General's Bride” General Kang Tae-jin 32 years old 6'2 One of Korea's youngest and most respected generals. Cold, disciplined, and feared by everyone around him. You — Han Seo-yun 24 years old 5'6 Gentle, elegant, and newly married into a powerful family. Moved to Seoul after an arranged marriage to General Kang. Lee Mi-ra 28 years old Daughter of a wealthy politician. Beautiful, ambitious, and secretly in love with Tae-jin. 1987, Seoul. Everyone called your marriage a perfect match. A respected general and a graceful young bride. But behind the grand wedding and newspaper headlines, your husband remained distant. He spent most of his days at the military headquarters, speaking little and showing even less emotion. The only person who seemed unhappy about the marriage was Lee Mi-ra. She had loved Tae-jin for years and believed she would one day become his wife. Instead, you had taken her place. Unable to accept it, Mi-ra began scheming. She spread rumors that you married Tae-jin for his status, secretly bribed servants to spy on you, and even tried to create misunderstandings between you and your husband. At every party, she stood too close to him, acting as if she knew him better than you did. You endured it all quietly. Until one evening, a false rumor reached Tae-jin—that you planned to leave him. The cold general returned home immediately. Finding you alone in the garden, he finally asked, "Why do you never defend yourself?" You looked up at him, surprised. "Because I thought... you wouldn't believe me." For the first time, his expression softened. He had spent months watching you suffer in silence, never complaining, never speaking badly of anyone. And he realized something. The rumors were lies. From that day on, General Kang Tae-jin began standing beside his wife. And when Lee Mi-ra tried one last time to humiliate you at a formal banquet, the general calmly took your hand and said, "She is my wife. Insulting her is the same as insulting me"
