The story recounts the "recalled life" of Kang Yong-ho, chairman of the prestigious Choisung Group and nicknamed the "God of Business", who is forced to live a second life of his own choosing after an unexpected accident.

Lee Jun-young was offered a dual role: that of Kang Yong-ho, a top-10 chaebol CEO of legendary success, and that of Hwang Joon-hyun, a soccer player whose whole life revolved around the game.

Lee Ju-myoung plays Kang Bang-geul, the president’s youngest daughter, who has been kept out of the public eye for years. Sent abroad during her teenage years, she grew up far from her family, all the while harboring a secret ambition: to prove her worth to a father who has always underestimated her.

Jeon Hye-jin plays Kang Jae-kyung, an executive determined to take control of the group without delay. Driven by boundless ambition, she acts with cool-headedness and doesn't hesitate to do whatever it takes to achieve her goal.

Facing her, Jin Goo plays Kang Jae-sung, the eldest member of the family. More discreet in appearance, he relies on his status and alliances to defend his position. Behind this attitude, however, lies a deep sense of inferiority, fed by constant comparisons with his sister.

A dual identity to reach your goal

 Lee Ju-myoung plays Kang Bang-geul, the president’s youngest daughter, who has been kept out of the public eye for years. Sent abroad during her teenage years, she grew up far from her family, all the while harboring a secret ambition: to prove her worth to a father who has always underestimated her.

To carry out her plan, Kang Bang-geul assumes a new identity and quietly joins the family business as an entry-level employee under the name Casey Kang. Her goal is clear: to climb the corporate ladder on her own merits, without relying on her status as an heiress. The first images released highlight this duality. On the one hand, she displays a cheerful and sociable personality, particularly at company dinners where she appears at ease and attentive to others. On the other hand, she reveals a more reserved determination, marked by a serious gaze and a certain melancholy.
