The show starts on March 14 at 9:10 p.m. and follows a man who is about to become a building owner. He gets caught up in a fake kidnapping scheme to protect his family and property. The story is full of suspense and focuses on personal greed, loyalty, and survival in the face of redevelopment pressures.

Naver says that Kim plays Min Hwal-seong, who is Ki Soo-jong's (Ha Jung-woo) best friend. Min Hwal-seong, who is handsome and speaks well, marries Jeon Yi-gyeong (Jung Soo-jung), the daughter of a rich family. But after he becomes her son-in-law, he slowly loses his place in the family because he keeps failing at investments and business.

The report says that Min Hwal-seong jokingly tells Ki Soo-jong to sell him a building, but Ki Soo-jong is waiting for redevelopment. People perceive the comment as a subtle insult. He tries different ways to get money to impress his wife and mother-in-law, but things just keep getting worse for him.

Before its premiere, there were still photographs showing Kim transforming into Min Hwal-seong. When he is with his wife, he appears kind and loving, but his piercing, bright eyes reveal that he is impatient and has hidden motivations. This character has two sides; he struggles internally to overcome his demons, and his quest for success starts to impair his ability to reason.
