"Giant" covers the lives of the three siblings growing up in the 1970's and their pursuit for revenge; Lee Kang-Mo (Lee Beom-Soo), his younger sister Lee Mi-Joo (Hwang Jung-Eum) & his older brother Lee Sung-Mo (Park Sang-Min).
Lee Kang-Mo's father died due to Hwang Tae-Seob (a friend of his father) and Jo Pil-Yeon. Because of this, Lee Kang-Mo lost his mother and had to separate from his younger sister and two brothers. By a cruel twist of fate, Kang-Mo is then raised by Hwang Tae-Seob (Lee Deok-Hwa). Kang-Mo also falls in love with Hwang Tae-Seob's daughter Hwang Jung-Yeon (Park Jin-Hee). Now Lee Kang-Mo & Hwang Jung-Yeon's relationship changes as Lee Kang-Mo becomes driven for revenge.
Lee Mi-Joo (younger sister of Lee Kang-Mo) loves Jo Min-Woo, Jo Pil-Yeons one and only son (Joo Sang-Wook). Unfortunately for Lee Mi-Joo, she falls pregnant, and is told by her brothers that she must get rid of the child and leave Jo Min-Woo, instead, she runs away, giving birth to a little boy Kang Woo-Ju. After the birth of their baby, Lee Mi-Joo attempts to hide her single mom status from those around her. Mi-Joo finds success in her career, eventually becoming a star. She also becomes the step-daughter of Congressman Oh Byeong Tak, who later passes away from a mysterious accident. Mi-Joo enlists the help of her brother Lee Kang-Mo to destroy her former lover Jo Min-Woo, even though she still loves him.
Lee Sung-Mo (older brother of Lee Kang-Mo) is an agent for the Korean Intelligence Agency. He was picked for the agency by Jo Pil-Yeon (Jung Bo-Suk) - the man that killed his father. Lee Sung-Mo is then able to find his brother Lee Kang-Mo and younger sister Mi-Joo. He tells his younger brother Lee Kang-Mo that two men, Jo Pil-Yeon and Hwang Tae-Seob, are connected with the death of their father. Lee Sung-Mo carefully details his discovery on paper. Lee Sung-Mo dreams of exacting revenge but is then shot by Go Jae-Cun and becomes mentally disabled ...

This is the worst series I have come across. The plot seems to be going in circles and the dialogues silly. Look very much like a Hongkie do!

I have watched the whole drama but I couldn't remember which episode/s and when Lee MiJu became step-daughter of Oh Byeong Tak as stated in the Synopis above "She also becomes the step-daughter of Congressman Oh Byeong Tak, who later passes away from a mysterious accident." Can you help me find this episode?

I like Joo Sang- Wook, He is a real lady killer. I think he has all the qualities of a GREAT STAR in the making.If all goes well, he will go VERY FAR. Hwang Jung- Eum is also very fresh and pleasant. No wonder the two of them were named the best TV Couples.

I've watched over a hundred K-dramas by now. This one here, "Giant," is about middle-of-the-road. Not great. Not bad. A bit uninspiring and boring at times. Adequate or better at others.
The main actor, Lee Boem-Su, sometimes over-acted, but was fairly good overall. But the main villain, Jeong Bo-Seok, was too over-the-edge, and would have been better cast in a campy Hollywood Batman movie as the "Joker" or another villain always over-doing the evil-laugh routine and sneering like an old-time Silent-film villain.
The woman who played Park Jin-Hee's mother,Yoon Yoo Sun, was a competent actress, but was slightly miscast in that she didn't look old enough to play the mother.
I grew weary of watching the over-acting by the stepmother and her son. Was glad when she was written out of the script by dying.

Giant is a very good drama is one of the best I've seen. I live in the US watched through mysoju and dramastyle. I cried a lot and fall in love with the romantic storyline between jo min woo and lee min joo. I thought the two characters were very convincing in their lovestory and acting... The kids did an awesome job potraying their characters.. Watching this drama made me look different perspective about korea.. I really really like it a lot. Thanks ya'll. Have a good one.

hey Victor,sorry for not making myself clear. I said "i've stayed up late for 2days(sorry i meant 2 nights) to finish the episodes" but i don't mean i spent two days to finish them. Anyway, I don't think it's important what how many days i've spent to finish the 60 eps. What i realy like to say is Giant is a great drama with good plot and cast! At the end of the day, it is what matters here, isn't it? cheers
victor Says:
Jan 12 2011 5:02 pm
Sangminfan u liar how can u possibly finish 60 eps in 2 days? 2 days = 48 hours
oh,and stop posting spoilers for crying out loud
Sangminfan Says:
Jan 09 2011 12:13 pm
I am a Taiwanese who don't watch korean drama often but Giant does draw my attention dramatically. I've stayed late 2days to finished all the 60 episodes. Among so many wonderful actors and actress, i love Park sang ming best. i think his is one of the best actors i've ever known. He just intreprets his role perfectly, a great brother who gives all his love to his siblings and ready to sacrify for them any time and a calm, cautious and smart agent in front of the killer of his father.....His every look and gesture reveal unbelievable charasma...GOsh, he's amazing. I watch most of his scences again and again and feel so sorry he died in such a tragic way...T_T...hope to c more his performce coming soon. Park sang ming, i love you!!!
