Brief Synopsis


SBS' new drama "Giant" spans over 30 years, and both makers and actors hope it will captivate viewers.


The 50-episode television series revolves around young and passionate characters making a living and searching for their goals and love in Seoul during the busy 1970s.


"The drama `Giant' is based on one man's success story, who made it through the dangerous urban jungle thanks to his wisdom and courage. We hope the drama will bring a sense of joy and comfort to viewers. Moreover, the show will also help people realize the true meaning of success in this corrupt world we live in today", SBS said through a press release.


The drama features the highlights of the city's development, bringing politics, power and money to the small screen. Money was all it took to gain power, and so, many, including Lee, had every reason to fight for it no matter what.


"It was a bit of a burden as I had to act a character whose life span ranges from his 20s to his 50s", Lee Beom-soo, who plays the main character Lee Gang-mo, said during a press conference Tuesday.


"But I thought I would give it a try", he added with a smile.


Seoul was in the middle of a huge transition during the 1970s, both socially and financially, thus giving birth to various stories and incidents regarding poverty, priorities and success. Lee Gang-mo was in the middle of all three. Born to a poor family in the late 1950s, Lee loses his father in a mysterious murder right after birth. The young Lee struggles to make a living and finally takes his ill mother and sister to a small motel and continues to make ends meet by begging and singing in the streets. One night, he buys some briquettes to heat up the room but the motel owner accidentally causes a gas leak, killing those inside, including Lee's mother. The heartbroken Lee vows that he will never be poor again and begins his lifelong journey toward success.


Like any other rags-to-riches story, or typical Korean drama, there is always a twist regarding competitors and lovers.


Actress Park Jin-hee plays Lee's love interest Hwang Jeong-yeon, another passionate character with a family secret.

" Drama yang satu ini benar-benar dari awal sampai episode terakhir selalu membuat penasaran dan ceritanya menegangkan dan juga alur ceritanya yang cepat dan tidak bertele-tele walaupun banyak episodenya tapi drama ini tidak membosankan untuk ditonton. Sutradara dan script writernya juga patut diajungkan jempol karna drama ini mengalir dengan baik dan karakter-karakter setiap tokoh-tokohnya begitu hidup, dan juga diperankan oleh aktor-aktor dan artis-artis yang memiliki kemampuan akting yang baik sekali... walopun drama ini tidak mendapatkan penghargaan di baeksang awards kecuali penghargaan Best Actor (TV Series) – Jung Bo Suk (Giant) yang memerankan tokoh antagonis Jo pil Yeon. tapi drama ini menurut saya termasuk drama terbaik 2010.
