Synopsis
Pegasus Market, where Moon Seok-goo works as a manager, is in bad shape. Jeong Bok-dong is soon appointed as the new CEO after being demoted within Daema Group. Seok-goo becomes hopeful concerning the market's future, not knowing what Bok-dong's true intentions are: sinking the company in order to take revenge on Daema Group. His plan, however, takes an unexpected turn.
Cast
Main
- Kim Byung-chul as Jeong Bok-dong
A helpful, kind but cynical director of Daema Group. Looks like a cold person but in reality, he has a soft heart and also has a past that he doesn't want to talk much about: he used to do all the dirty work by executing the CEO's commands, but now he is haunted by his guilt. After messing up during a meeting by failing to capitalize on a new product, he was expelled to be the president of the seemingly abandoned Pegasus Mart. Bok-dong kept trying to install elaborate and destructive plans to push the main Daema Group into bankruptcy throughout the mart but his plans kept backfiring and instead caused the mart to get ever more popular and causing the sales volume to increase rather than decrease as he wanted.
- Lee Dong-hwi as Moon Seok-goo
A recently uni-grad who applied to Daema Group for a job and was sent to Pegasus Mart as a general manager. Always tries his best to keep the mart running wholeheartedly but often foiled by the plans of Bok-dong which often causes Seok-goo stress and despair.
