[drama 2009] Story Of A Man / The Slingshot 남자이야기

Who will be the final victor?

Money begets tragedy

Kim Shin (Park Yong-ha) borrows money from loan sharks, putting himself up as collateral. He needs the money to protect his family after his brother killed himself in response to being framed as having served contaminated dumplings. To break away from the grip of the loan sharks, Kim heads to the local broadcasting company to seek out the reporter who wrongly accused his brother. He ends up in an attempted murder case and goes to jail. His family is forced to sever all contact with him and flees to the countryside. It also means farewell to Kyeong-ah (Park Si-yeon), the woman whom he loves.

Zeroes in on making money

In jail, Kim finds out that a man named Chae Do-woo (Kim Kang-woo) of the Chaedong Group is deeply involved in the dumpling scandal. Encountering inmates from all walks of life, Kim transforms into a financially savvy man. He learns how to make money and how to live a money-centered life. Meanwhile Kyeong-ah, who has become involved in disreputable business in order to help Kim, also meets Chae Do-woo.

Money and revenge

Through fellow prisoner An Kyeong-tae (Park Ki-woong), Kim befriends Park Moon-ho (Lee Moon-shik) from the music cafe "Muse." Along with another figure, Do Jae-myeong (Lee Philip), Kim creates a foursome "dream team" whose aim is to crush Chae in the dog-eat-dog financial world. Their total savings add up to a paltry 100 million won. That's all they've got, and with this 100 million, they will have to stand up against the 400 billion won valued construction group Chaedong and Chae Do-woo. The war begins!

Thx for being the one to bring the good news !

I'll update this and Philip's thread now !

Caption says he acts as the 'knife of revenge'.

Really?! I like him in the "King with 4 Gods" drama (sorry not sure about the name :blush: ). He was so cool .

Philip Lee will be working with the same scriptwriter for The Legend.

BTW, the director is the same one as for the little known KBS Drama City drama titled "Thirty Minus Three", which I liked very much, you can watch at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_CwC-RmQNY if you want to familiarise yourself with this director's work.

Story of a Man to follow the Boys on KBS

January 8th, 2009 // by javabeans

News has been sparse on KBS’s new drama Story of a Man [남자이야기], which will be the next vehicle for On Air’s Park Yong-ha and La Dolce Vita’s Park Shi-yeon.

The plot sounds rather more like a thriller film than a drama, centering around a rich prodigal son who finds himself taken in by a scam that bankrupts his father’s company. He vows revenge and transforms into a cold and hardened mergers & acquisitions specialist. Park Shi-yeon plays the girlfriend who takes a job at a hostess bar to help him repay his debts.

In this case, though, the production team is stirring more interest than the leads, particularly in its scriptwriter Song Ji-nah, who is penning her follow-up to MBC’s blockbuster series Legend but who is probably best known for the seminal ’90s drama Sandglass. Directing is Yoon Sung-shik of Dae Jo Young.

The drama is set for a March start, following the just-premiered Boys Before Flowers on Mondays and Tuesdays.
