I'm on episode 11 and at first I thought he looked a lot like an ISFJ but I think he has a very unhealthy relationship with his Si. All of his memories are jarred and he holds onto certain memories which all connect to form some larger childhood experience of trauma, but as we see, he was actually remembering things a bit differently than how they actually happened. I think it's pretty typical of Ni doms to be so caught up in their perception of something that they forget to ground themselves in what is actually happening, choosing instead to "read in between the lines". Usually, they need someone to give them a dose of reality (Se) and I think Ko Moon-Young did that for him. Anyone can have an unhealthy relationship with their past, but an ISFJ's dominant Si ensures that whatever they remember, they remember clearly, because they are so focused on internal sensory experience. After he was able to somewhat resolve those memories in his mind, he seemed a lot less burdened. Because it doesn't seem like using his Si is something he enjoys doing. He was more than happy to throw away his faulty impressions of the past, in favor of embracing the future. After that, you can see that he begins to use his Ni much more frequently and his Se as well. His fears weren't necessarily grounded in inferior Ne, but inferior Se. He seemed to understand exactly what might happen if he ever chose to break from the routine of his life (Ni), he just chose not to all those years because of very weak Se, which was binding him. An ISFJ is more likely to not break from a routine or lifestyle because of fear of outcome (inferior Ne), whereas Gang-Tae profoundly understood the dynamics of his life with his brother and still chose not to take action. Still, I admit that characters like these make it pretty hard to distinguish between ISFJs and INFJs at times. Inferior Ne and inferior Se can look so similar at times. Especially in K-Dramas, where stereotypical Si themes (tradition, routine, hierarchy, desire for a normal life, etc) often make characters look like Si users.
