Giant (Korean: 자이언트; RR: Jaieonteu) is a 2010 South Korean television series starring Lee Beom-soo, Park Jin-hee, Joo Sang-wook, Hwang Jung-eum, Park Sang-min, and Jeong Bo-seok. It aired on SBS from May 10 to December 7, 2010, every Monday and Tuesday at 21:55 (KST) for 60 episodes. Giant is a sprawling period drama about three siblings' quest for revenge during the economic boom of 1970-80s Korea. Tragically separated during childhood, the three reunite as adults and set out to avenge their parents' deaths, their fates playing out against a larger tide of power, money, politics, and the growth of a city.[2][3][4][5]

Synopsis

The plot revolves around the lives of the three Lee children: Kang-mo (Lee Beom-soo), Sung-mo (Park Sang-min), and Mi-joo (Hwang Jung-eum). Their father is killed by Hwang Tae-seob (Lee Deok-hwa) and Jo Pil-yeon (Jeong Bo-seok), and their mother dies in an accident. As a result, the children are separated.

Kang-mo and Sung-mo are raised by their father's killers. Kang-mo helps Hwang Tae-seob avoid bankruptcy by advocating the use of a different landfill material, and is later adopted by Tae-seob. Meanwhile, Sung-mo is raised by Jo Pil-yeon, who is a KCIA official. After growing up and finding out the truth, the brothers set off on a quest for revenge.

Mi-joo and Jo Pil-yeon's son, Min-woo, fall in love but cannot be allowed to be together because their families are enemies. Mi-joo becomes pregnant and goes into hiding, while Min-woo desperately searches for her.

The whole series revolves around the brothers trying to bring down Jo Pil-yeon, who is cunning and slippery in his political tactics. Later, Sung-mo is shot in the head by an agent of Jo Pil-yeon. Miraculously, he survives and has to hide from the KCIA. Jo Pil-yeon tries to work in the government by making false papers, but Kang-mo finds out that Sung-mo has knowledge of the contents of the real papers and finds him. They release the papers, and Jo Pil-yeon fails his objective. He runs away, but is later found and arrested. Sung-mo undergoes surgery to have the bullet taken out of his head, but he tragically dies.

Many years later, a now-insane Jo Pil-yeon breaks out of prison to try to murder Kang-mo, but he fails and commits suicide afterwards. The last scene shows Kang-mo receiving word from his wife Hwang Jung-yeon (Hwang Tae-seob's daughter) that his long-lost brother (a fourth sibling who was adopted by an American couple many years ago) has come to visit him.
