Features: Kang Hyun (played by Shin Hyun-joon) and Lee Byung-hyun (played by Lee Byung-hyun) are two brothers who were forcibly separated since childhood. The older brother, Kang Hyun, was adopted by the politically influential Kang Moo-hyuk and lived a luxurious life of comfort and luxury. However, he showed no interest in politics and struggled to adapt to society, making him a nihilist. The younger brother, Hong-biao, grew up in an orphanage, constantly getting into fights and living a "delinquent" vagrant life. Yet, he was brave, stood up for the underdog, and was a rebellious rogue. The two brothers, with their contrasting personalities, fell in love with the beautiful, charming, and noble Li Yan-hua (played by Kim Hee-sun) — the daughter of Lee Soo-hak, a member of parliament, and his mistress. This led to a tumultuous love-hate triangle between the three. In the end, Yan-hua became a victim of politics, forced to marry her father's political rival, the son of the Kang family, and Kang Hyun's older brother, Yoon-shil (played by Son Chang-min). Thus, the love story between Kang Hyun and Yan-hua took a tragic turn, resembling a "Romeo and Juliet" tale.
