Air of thrill and suspense took over the first episode as Yoon Hyun Woo (Song Joong Ki), head of the Asset Management of the Soonyang corporation, had to take a literal bullet for his ‘masters’. He was cornered and murdered by those he trusted the most. Magically, after his previous life ended, Hyun Woo found himself reincarnated in a new body, the youngest son of the Soonyang family and time reversed to the past. Standing in front of him was the founder of Soonyang and his grandfather – Jin Yang Chul (Lee Sung Min).
The audience reacted positively to the first episode, especially to the performance of Song Joong Ki and veteran actor Lee Sung Min. Female lead Shin Hyun Bin left a mark despite her passing appearance, especially in the meeting scene with Song Joong Ki.
