The Nice Guy

Park Seok-cheol is the eldest scion of a long line of family bosses, a man who reads danger in every doorway and softens a family quarrel with a joke. The show follows his effort to keep the fragile balance between kin, business, and the woman he loves, while the shadow of a notorious past echoes through home and street.

The tone blends brisk humor with quiet drama as daily life collides with crime. Through grit and a fierce sense of duty he tries to shield his family from the storms closing in.
