It follows Dae-guk, (Ma Dong-seok), a native of Apgujeong with an overbearing meddlesome nature, and Ji-woo (Jung Kyung-ho), a prickly plastic surgeon who relies solely on his skills, as they usher in the golden era of the plastic surgery business in Gangnam.

Synopsis
Dae-guk, a native of Apgujeong-dong, with an endless stream of business ideas and a natural gift for persuasion, crosses paths with Ji-woo, a once-renowned top plastic surgeon looking to make a comeback. Recognizing Ji-woo's ambition and potential at a glance, Dae-guk instinctively senses that it's time to put his business acumen to the test. With his unstoppable drive, Daeguk brings together Ji-woo's surgical skills, insider Mi-jeong's extensive network, financial backing from Apgujeong's big spender Tae-cheon, and the powerful connections of Gyu-ok. Their goal is to build not just Apgujeong's leading plastic surgery clinic, but to transform it into Asia's ultimate beauty capital.
