Synopsis

The scion of a formerly wealthy traditional land-owning family Kim Ji-wan grew up an orphan raised by his step-mother 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 Jiwan'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.
