Mad Concrete Dreams: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

In Korea, nothing defines success more than owning a building. Ki Su-jong, once an ordinary office worker, believes that going all in—risking everything and drowning in debt—to finally become a landlord will be his way out. But when global capital swoops in and threatens to push his building into foreclosure, Su-jong clings to a desperate plan with his best friend: a staged kidnapping in the building's basement that spirals into a real one. Trapped in a chain of crimes that could destroy his life or save it, Su-jong is forced to make impossible choices. How far will he go to keep his dream from collapsing?
