Gang Suk (Jisuk) has been struggling since the day he was born as an illegitimate son of a financial tycoon. He is humble in front of his father, step mother, and step elder brother. He feels ashamed of his mother but at the same time he wants to get his mother back to the right way. I like the scene in Episode 2 in which he is beaten up by a rival at the “Mixed Martial Arts” fighter site in the beginning. But then, Bang!!! He fights back strongly and stands up grandly!! This scene symbolizes that he has been looked down upon by some people, but he will fight back and gain people’s respects eventually!
Jin Jin and Dong Ah are poor people living in the lower-class. Jin Jin works very hard to support her elder sister. Her singing talent will eventually be recognized with the help of Gang Suk and many people who love her. Dong Ah has a kind heart and uses his fist to fight for his life. Although he is not smart, he is sincere, no doubt about it.
Jung Yoon Suh loses her hope to live in this world after she was injured during her excessive practices of Ballet in the USA. Dong Ah and Gang Suk will help her stand up again.
I will stick to this drama because I like Jisuk’s role and performance as well as the theme of the storylines of this drama.

==============
Jin Jin is locked up temporarily and Jin Joo insists on staying with Jin Jin. Jin Jin’s friends are worried about that she will have a criminal record if she is charged this time. Dong Ah asks these friends if they will chip in some money to pay the injured person so that he won’t file a law suit against Jin Jin. However, no one has money except Soon Nyu because everyone is poor.
The next morning, Oh Jin brings his piggy bank to Jin Joo so that she won’t be locked up. In the hospital, Dong Ah brings 780 thousand Won to the injured man hoping that he won’t file a law suit against Jin Jin. However, the man and his wife reject the money because they want at least 10 million Won. Dong Ah sees that Yoon Suh’s father goes into her room in the hospital. He finds out from the nurse that the treatment fee for the injured man is less than 10 million Won as well as that Yoon Suh is the daughter of the famous CEO Jung Kap Soo of a big construction company.
Yoon Suh’s father encourages her to live bravely. He comes back from his Japanese trip as soon as he learns that Yoon Suh was overdosed with the sleeping pills. Yoon Suh’s mother feels infuriated after she learns that Yoon Suh has been taking lots of sleeping pills. She says that she has no will to live if Yoon Suh commits suicide. Yoon Suh says that she doesn’t have any meaningful thing to do in this world and therefore this world means nothing to her.
Jin Jin asks Dong Ah to take care of Jin Joo for her in case that she is put into jail. At this moment, Gang Suk comes to the police station.
Gang Suk: I received your phone call.
Policeman: These 2 guys used your credit card to purchase things yesterday night. Do you remember them?
Gang Suk: No. I don’t.
Robber 1 (talks to the policeman): Why do you want to ask him? Didn’t we tell you that we spot his wallet on the street? We are not crazy. Why would we use his credit card to purchase things?
Policeman: Yahhh… Did the wallet fall in front of you guys who are called Suspect 5 and Suspect 7 by itself? What a coincidence?
Robber 2: This is the fact. What should we do?
Policeman (talks to Gang Suk): Don’t you remember them?
Gang Suk: No. Where is my wallet?
Policeman: Sigh! Here it is.
Gang Suk: May I leave now?
Policeman: You could leave. But, could you try to recall what happened?
Gang Suk: Thank you for your hard work.
Gang Suk turns around and is about to leave. Jin Jin and Dong Ah stand in front of him.
Dong Ah: Is your chin OK?
Jin Jin: Are those parts on you face being hit by me OK?
Gang Suk: OK.
Dong Ah: You won’t change your mind later, will you? This kind of situations happened in many traffic accidents. Some people said nothing and walked away but change their minds later so that they could get more compensation money.
Jin Jin: It is so great that you are OK!
Gang Suk goes back to the office building of JH Corporation. People stand in front of the bulletin board and are surprised that Gang Suk is demoted to the position as the manager in charge of the Department of Entertainment. On the other hand, his elder step-brother Ji Suk is put in the higher position in charge of the Department of Construction. Gang Suk’s staff is discontent with this announcement.
Yoon Jung: What is going on, Manager? Don’t you know what happened? How come you are demoted? What could you do if you take that position? Don’t you know what your situation is now?
Gang Suk: Be quiet!
Yoon Jung: How can I be quiet?! Do you know what the rumor is now? The rumor is that Lee Ji Suk will be the Assistant CEO and then he will become the successor of this corporation. They say that you will be removed from this company. I think that this rumor is based on some facts.
Ji Suk walks toward Gang Suk.
Yoon Jung (talks to Ji Suk): Congratulations to your promotion to Assistant CEO.
Ji Suk: Thank you anyway although this is nothing worth of congratulation. Yoon Jung, it will nice if you could come over to work for me. If you do, you couldn’t work for Gang Suk anymore, right?
Yoon Jung: Yes.
Ji Suk (talks to Gang Suk): I talked to him before about this matter. Maybe he has his own thought. Don’t be disappointed.
Yoon Jung: So ridiculous!
Gang Suk’s father Joon Ho talks to Gang Suk.
Joon Ho: Do you feel sorry about this announcement? You must feel the unfairness after you have been working so hard.
Gang Suk: No. People who run this company have the rights to assign job positions. I don’t feel sorry.
Joon Ho: I hope that you work there as hard as you worked here. I personally like the “Double Show Entertainment”. That’s why I want you to be in charge of the Department.
Gang Suk: I will do my best.
Joon Ho: I trust you.
Gang Suk is so infuriated about this job demotion that he vents out his anger in the restroom.
