Plot
Dong-sik is an employee at a large insurance company. He works hard and does everything by the book, in contrast to his colleagues, who are more interested in schmoozing their way into promotions. Dong-sik's naïve sense of ethics gets him into trouble in both his professional and private life. When he gets demoted to insurance salesman, Dong-sik struggles due to his tactlessness and lack of charm. He then discovers that his mother borrowed money from a loan shark to pay for his father's promotion to Principal at a local school. In order to improve his sales and pay back the loan sharks, Dong-sik seeks help from legendary silver-tongued master Hyeo Go-soo, whose book about wooing and persuading others is deeply prized among his colleagues. Go-soo takes Dong-sik on as an apprentice, with Dong-sik desperately following his teachings in order to improve his sales.Cast
