He plays 'Park Seok-cheol', the eldest grandson of a gang family. glimpses of Seok-cheol's tumultuous life, filled with responsibilities, were evident. His eyes, while dressing a blood-stained bandage, reflected emptiness.

Despite dreaming of being a novelist, he ended up living the life of a gangster. He encapsulated the narrative with the words, "I chose a path less traveled by others. And everything changed because of that."

He experiences a fateful reunion with his first love, Kang Mi-young (played by Lee Sung-kyung), who dreams of becoming a singer. Another whirlwind hits his life. Viewers can expect a profound emotional melodrama between Lee Dong-wook and Lee Sung-kyung.
