As
soon as it premiered, Money's Warfare became an
instant attraction. First, the SBS drama is about
everyone's favorite topic of conversation - money. Second,
it stars Park Shin Yang, the ever-charismatic actor from Lovers
in Paris, who started a craze with the charming
one-liner "Ae-gee-ya!", which literally
translates as "Baby!" Money's Warfare
easily won the ratings war in its time slot with rave
reviews from critics and fans alike, who praised the
drama's unique storyline and superb cast, including Park
Jin Hee ( Come Back Soon Ae!), Kim Jung Hwa (Snow
White), and Lee Won Jong (Hi, Dharma 2), whose
role as a notorious loan shark brought much realism to the
drama. Money's Warfare tackles one of Korea's
biggest problems: debt.
Top-ranked
investment banker Geum Na Ra (Park Shin Yang) was living
the good life - but he didn't know his own father was
suffering from an insurmountable debt. Na Ra and his
girlfriend Cha Yeon (Kim Jung Hwa) attend his sister's
wedding, only to have chaos erupt at the blissful event.
The notorious loan shark Ma Dong Po (Lee Won Jong) and his
men force Na Ra's father to sign an organ waiver in lieu
of the debt payment, before stuffing the newlyweds'
gratuity into their bags. Ma Dong Po and his gang continue
to harass Na Ra at his workplace, and even barge into his
house demanding payment, traumatizing Na Ra's mother, who
collapses on the floor. In desperate need of money to pay
for his mother's hospital fees, Na Ra runs to a nearby
bank for a loan, only to be flatly denied. Meanwhile, Na
Ra's disgruntled boss takes advantage of Na Ra's troubles,
using them as an excuse to fire him. Enraged and at his
wit's end, Na Ra flips out completely, officially
declaring war on all things having to do with money!
