Hunsung Tech is a small manufacturer churning out everyday plastic goods like formula-can lids and yogurt spoons. Look a little closer and you'll find it's basically a family operation — the CEO, his son, his brother-in-law, his sibling, his daughter-in-law — each holding a comfortable seat while squeezing every drop out of the other employees. In the middle of this dysfunctional setup is office manager Lee Gyeong-min: sharp, hardworking, in before dawn and out after dark, perpetually cleaning up his superiors' messes and even going to bat for the factory-floor workers. He's the one keeping the whole place afloat. After years of soldiering on alone, his patience finally hits its limit — and that's when something unexpected changes his life entirely. Escaping a toxic workplace, landing a better job, chasing success, and finding love — this is the hard-fought story of one young man grinding his way up, set in the small-business world where the vast majority of Koreans actually work.
