How it feels

A kind but stubborn man repeatedly fails in business and considers suicide. He decides to make a comeback by selling books on installments, does good deeds with poor results, and takes in an orphan. He falls in love with a millionaire's daughter and uses his PR skills to win her father's approval for marriage, but ultimately realizes he does not fit in the elite corporate world and leaves Seoul alone.
