Plot

Yeong-min (Kim Min-Jun), a high school dropout, attempts to raise money to pay for his grandmother's surgery. He ends up losing at a round of "hwatu" - an Asian card game - and crosses over to the dark side, learning the tricks of the trade from top cardshark Ah Gwi (Kim Kap-Su). Yeong-min's friend Go-ni, (Jang Hyuk), also partakes in card playing. They then cross paths with Madame Jeong and her apprentice Mi-na (Han Ye-Seul). Mi-na was Goni's childhood sweetheart and Yeong-min's first love ...

Notes

A great drama that when you begin, you won't give it up. Love Jang Hyuk and Han Ye Seul!

Although it seems like a clone of All In, this is one good drama. I'm a sucker for dramas in which medical expenses wreak havoc in people's lives. And also for big-hearted friends wanting to help, but getting in trouble for doing so. This is one roller-coaster ride. Then, the ending is so sweet with it's "moral" of the story and Jang Hyuk making the rounds among the ajummas. Loved it!
