Does he love her? Yes, he absolutely does and has for a very long time but having that being his motivation for saving her is, in reality less romantic than it actually seems.

By making his motivation guilt for the pain he caused her they were making his actions 100% selfless which is incredibly romantic. He had no idea whether or not Ryeon loved him, wanted to be with him or even see him again but he'd realised that he'd hurt her and that fact alone was enough of a reason for him to protect her.

I'm in… I'm in love with you. Really? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of stupid how much I'm in love with you. You should've seen how fast I came down that mountain. I mean, a lot of it was falling. Luckily, the ground just stopped me, but… New Girl, S4E22: Clean Break
