==Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©==
"The Taste of Money" deals with the world of the wealthiest of "Chaebul" families and their desires, love, hatred, sex and murder ...

Young-Jak ([[Kim Kang-Woo]]) has worked for CEO Yoon ([[Baek Yoon-Sik]]) for the past 10 years. He graduated from a prestigious university, but beckons at the call of CEO Yoon everyday.

CEO Yoon is married to Baek Geum-Ok ([[Youn Yuh-Jung]]), the daughter of the wealthiest man in Korea. They have a daughter Na-Mi ([[Kim Hyo-Jin]]) and a son Cheol ([[On Joo-Wan]]). Due to their extreme wealth, the family wields virtually unlimited power in Korea. Their daughter Na-Mi is the only person that disagrees with her family's actions.

Meanwhile, CEO Yoon did not marry Geum-Ok because of love, but rather because of her wealth. For virtually his entire life he has worked for Geum-Ok and her father. Throughout this time, CEO Yoon has felt humiliated. Now, CEO Yoon wants to leave Geum-Ok and her family. Yoon is in love with their Filipino housemaid Eva ([[Maui Taylor]]) and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Geum-Ok has no doubt that she will have her husband back.

After CEO Yoon leaves, Young-Jak takes over his role in the family. He too soon becomes addicted to the taste of money ...
