* IdiotSavant: Shin winds up making friends in prison with an odd young man named Kyung-tae, who happens to have a supernatural skill for picking stocks and giving financial advice, and got sent to prison for deliberately spreading false information. However, Kyung-tae has a series of Tourette-style tics, compulsively wears headphones all the time, and has difficulty communicating verbally unless he pushes a "button" (that is, touches something with his index finger). He helps Shin figure out Do-woo's scheme and joins Shin's plot to take down Chae Dong Construction.

Kim Shin (Park Yong-ha) is a rich young playboy, the younger son of a family that operates a dumpling factory. He's content to mark time with his gorgeous girlfriend Seo Kyung-ah (Park Shi-yeon), until tragedy strikes in the form of a television news report accusing his family of putting unsafe ingredients in their dumplings. The charges are false, but the family business goes into bankruptcy anyway. His responsible, hardworking older brother, Kim Wook, is ruined, and kills himself. Kim Wook's widow and daughters are driven to a life of poverty, pursued by loan sharks looking to get back money that Kim Wook borrowed to try and keep the business afloat.
Kim Shin tries to save his sister-in-law and nieces but a bad decision (assuming the loan shark debts himself) and a rash act (attempting to hijack the television studio that ruined his family in order to tell his family's side of the story) land him in prison for attempted murder. There he finds out that the villain of the story is Chae Do-woo, only son of construction magnate Chae Dong Soo. Do-woo is building his own financial empire by underhandedly ruining other companies (like the Kim family dumpling business) and buying them on the cheap. When Kim Shin is paroled from prison, he emerges determined to wreak his revenge on Chae Dong Soo and Chae's family business, Chae Dong Construction which Shin (mistakenly) thinks was behind the whole plot.
Meanwhile, Seo Kyung-ah has become a courtesan in order to pay off Shin's family's debt. Also, after Do-woo orders the murder of Mr. Do, his father's right-hand man, Mr. Do's estranged son Do Jae-myung (Phillip Lee) vows revenge and joins Kim Shin's plot.
