Oh In-joo often follows Jin Hwa-young around and pretends to be rich, envious of her friend's expensive clothes and bags. One day, Oh In-joo goes to Jin Hwa-young's house to find her after she can't get in touch with her, and discovers her dead in the closet, apparently having taken her own life. She then learns that Jin Hwa-young had secretly embezzled about 700 billion won, and after attending her funeral, Oh In-joo checks the messages Jin Hwa-young left her. When Jin Hwa-young says she transferred her membership to a high-end fitness club, Oh In-joo heads there and finds 2 billion won in the locker Jin Hwa-young used.

"Oh In-kyung," the second daughter, was good at her studies. She dreamed that if she studied hard and got into a good university, she would be successful, even though she grew up poor. However, as she got older, she realized that even if she was good at studying, it would be difficult to become rich without financial support from her family. She wanted to be able to speak out boldly even in front of powerful and wealthy people, so she became a reporter. While investigating corruption related to a certain savings bank, Oh In-kyung realizes that a lawyer named "Park Jae-sang" had been involved in the cases of people who had died one after another.

This drama, which uses money as a symbol of capitalism, was written by Jung Seo-kyung. Jung Seo-kyung is a well-known writer
who co-wrote the screenplays for "Lady Vengeance," "Thirst," "The Handmaiden," and "Decision to Leave" with director Park Chan-wook.

to that of "Decision to Leave." The same art director was in charge of the drama.
