Synopsis
The scion of a formerly wealthy traditional land-owning family, Kim Ji-wan grew up an orphan raised by his stepmother and grandmother when his father died, and his family lost its fortune. To provide for his family, Ji-wan swallows his pride and uses nepotism to join Nuga Global, a multi-national medical appliances company. Ji-wan is initially grateful when Jang Tae-soo, Nuga's CEO and a friend of his late father, takes him under his wing. As the lives of Ji-wan's family and that of Tae-soo cross again, long hidden secrets, such as how Ji-wan's father died and came to lose his fortune, begin to unravel. Desperate to protect the business and reputation he has built, Tae-soo uses a secret that Ji-wan's stepmother has kept from Ji-wan and his grandmother.
