Who is Hui-Ju from The Impossible Heir?
Kang Hui-Ju (played by Choi Hee-Jin) is the half-sister of Kang In-Ha (played by Lee Jun-Young). Out of all his siblings, however, Hui-Ju is the only one who accepts him even if he is an illegitimate child.
Because of In-Ha's plans to be accepted by the family and eventually become a successor of the company, he seeks help from his friend, Han Tae-Oh (played by Lee Jae-Wook).
He does this by letting Tae-Oh infiltrate the Kang household, where he is barely welcome. He recommends Tae-Oh as the math tutor of Hui-Ju, who becomes infatuated with him.
Throughout the K-Drama series, she is seen professing her love for Tae-Oh and even asking him to choose her so she can protect him. Tae-Oh, however, continues to turn her down.
