Choi Min-ji, a 34-year-old dentist in Cheongpung village, is a warm, fearless anchor with sharp wit and empathy, her hazel eyes and freckled smile exuding resilience. Bonded with Ki Ka-young since middle school when Ka-young saved her from bullies, her loyalty shines in their weekly gamja-tang ritual, stabilizing Ka-young’s psychopathy. Running the village clinic, Min-ji’s pragmatism counters Iblis’s chaos, supporting Ka-young’s emotional void while hiding fears of losing their bond.
