The story is set against the backdrop of the business world in 19th century Korea, describing the rise of one of the most influential red-capped merchants, Lim Sang-wok. Influenced by his father from a young age, Lim aspired to become a translator (an exclusive translator for diplomatic missions) but chose to become a merchant due to his hardships. He not only became the wealthiest man in Korea but also unprecedentedly appointed by the emperor as a third-rank official. His life was filled with legends, often teetering between life and death and facing business bankruptcies, yet he remained dedicated to his beliefs. He is still remembered by the Korean people today, not only for his immense wealth but also for his understanding and practice of the principles a businessman must adhere to – the way of commerce.
