[TRANS] Description Of Jaejoong’s “Kim Kyung Tak” Character In Dr. Jin

Kim Kyung Tak / Kim Jaejoong

Engaged to Hong YoungRae

The illegitimate son of a concubine and Kim Byonghee, who is part of the Andong Kim Family and a member of the Noron faction (t/n: one of the two main factions that existed in Western Korea. They were known to be more traditional and strict)

A high ranking officer who is part of the policing force of the Joseon Dynasty.

Kim Kyung Tak is exceptionally skilled in martial arts and has a very competitive nature which causes him to command the respect of those around him. He holds the pain of being an illegitimate son inside of him and wishes to be fully recognized by Kim Byeonghee. Therefore he is determined to never lose fights, never shed tears, and never show any sign of weakness. However, he always becomes weak because of one person. Hong YongRae.

[Hong YongRae] is the younger sister of Hong Yonghwi, and Kyung Tak has loved YongRae since they were children and studied under the same teacher. Since that time, Kyung Tak has hoped that she would one day become his bride. Although his family did not agree with the union because she is from a low ranking family in the opposing faction (t/n: Soron faction), Kyung Tak never gave up on his pursuit of her. However everything starts to change when Jin Hyuk makes a sudden appearance one day.

At first, Kyung Tak allows for Jin Hyuk to stay in YongRae’s house because his skills saved his father. In addition, he allowed YongRae to follow Jin Hyuk around to care for patients because he could not bring himself to stand in the way of something that made her happy. However, after observing YongRae’s smiling face towards JinHyuk, and JinHyuk’s extreme kindness towards YongRae, Kyung Tak can not help but feel horribly betrayed.

Now he feels…he cannot sit by and watch YongRae’s heart move towards Jin Hyuk and cannot forgive the man who is trying to steal his betrothed’s heart. He makes the firm decision to win over YongRae no matter what, even if it means abandoning everything that he has worked hard to create for his whole life!

…Even if it means killing the person trying to steal YongRae away!
