The Law of the Line

In The Law of the Line, Jang Ki-yong plays Tak Do-il, regional team leader within the National Bank's commercial group. A graduate of a provincial university and recruited through an anonymous system, he does not belong to any elite group or influential network. A profile that is known in the industry as a «black tie», these employees without political connections or support.

Opposite him, Oh Jung-se plays Chun Kyung-ho, the vice president in charge of the commercial division. He, too, did not follow the traditional path: with only a high school diploma, he climbed the corporate ladder one rung at a time, eventually becoming one of the frontrunners to take over as the bank’s president.

But Tak Do-il's fate takes a dramatic turn when he helps arrest a network of scammers specializing in bank phishing. This case earns him an official commendation from the bank's president and, against all odds, a rapid transfer to Seoul after only one year on the job. He quickly becomes an admired figure, a true kingmaker“, capable of making and breaking careers behind the scenes.

«Law of the Line» is billed as an office drama, but of a particular kind. There’s no workplace romance here: the series focuses on factional struggles, strategic appointments, and betrayals that come with the race for the top.
