The ex - The cliche would be that he was an incompetent, scummy boyfriend, but actually, in this story, he's not. We saw how he was a very loving and capable boyfriend. He was almost perfect to the point that he didn't give the ML a chance to swoop in to steal the girl for the last 7 years of the relationship. Unfortunately, he had to fall for a scheming and two-faced b*tch which made him s*upid. At least he didn't blame the FL and the girl for it. Overall he was a pretty decent person, so watching him regret his action was enough.
The ex' mother - The ex's parents initially disapproved of the FL and wasn't happy with the marriage. Another reason why the ex wasn't that bad was that he held his own against his family to be with the FL. I was also expecting the mother to be 100% on her son's side even if he cheated and to bully the FL as you would see in other cnovel. I was expecting her to be a 2D character, but it was to my delight to find out she isn't. She was disappointed with her son for cheating and couldn't stand the mistress. Her son was no exception for her disgust for cheaters. She was also willing to help her son get back with FL, although with the condition that he votes for her over his father during the board meeting. Backstory: apparently her husband cheated on her in the past and she has been plotting for years to get revenge.
The ML, ML's family and friends and staff members - I love how everyone is aware of the ML's unrequited love (I also love how he is unafraid to show that he was secretly in love with her for years) and supportive of their relationship. I also love how the ML secretly protects the FL before she was single and before he started pursuing her. It was so sweet when he announced that he was going to pursue FL with marriage in mind during a meeting. This is was so that no one would gossip about her and think she was social-climbing.
