About

Park Hae-gang: Former boss of the Oasis Gang and the 'King of Debt Collection' who can sniff out money like a ghost. He possesses a thorough business mindset, believing that even gangsters must run their operations with diligence and sincerity. He hung a trade company sign in the middle of Gangnam while daringly operating an illegal gambling den exclusively for 'Grade 1 Credit VIPs' inside. To protect this risky venture, he was meticulous enough to grease the palms of high-ranking police officials, the district head, and jurisdictional civil servants. However, due to a betrayal by a trusted police official, the gambling den vanishes overnight. To make matters worse, his mentor Yong-man is arrested, leaving Hae-gang in a desperate situation needing 10 billion won immediately. That's when the 17.8 billion won in the apartment's long-term repair reserve fund catches his eye. He resolves to become the chairman by any means necessary to embezzle that money. Kang Ha-ri: A long-term student who dreamed of becoming a lawyer and even graduated from law school, but slips up every time she takes the bar exam. She currently works part-time at a free legal clinic operated by the major law firm 'We Partners' for image-cleansing purposes. Her mental state is ground down daily dealing with obnoxious criminals who crawl in trying to evade punishment. She is always strapped for cash due to the law school tuition and loans her only older sister worked herself to the bone to provide. When she fails the bar exam again, she can't bring herself to tell her sister the truth and tells the biggest lie of her life: 'I passed the bar exam.' The problem is that to maintain this lie, she desperately needs money and snaps up the part-time job of being a fake wife in Park Hae-gang's <Intermittent Family Project>. While she lectures Hae-gang on living legally whenever she opens her mouth to discuss law and justice, she transforms into a thorough business partner in the face of money. But of all people, the accounting manager at this apartment's management office is her sister Ha-jeong! Avoiding the eyes of her sister, who has high expectations thinking her sibling is a lawyer, Ha-ri is forced to join this crazy mess by acting as Hae-gang's fake wife inside the apartment complex. Lee Choong-won: CEO of a construction company and resident of the penthouse at True Value State Apartments. With his tall stature, gentle manners, and luxury suits, everyone assumes he was born with a silver spoon. In reality, he comes from a 'dirt spoon' background, having been kicked out of his home by redevelopment demolition crews as a child. After realizing he must trample and take from others to become rich since his own things were taken, he clawed his way up from the demolition sites at a young age to become a successful construction company CEO. Though he owns a nice car and house, his hunger for money remains. His true goal is to build 'Oman New City,' a kingdom of his own that no one can take away. Kyung-nam: Hae-gang's right-hand man. A single dad raising his son Kyung-buk alone after a fiery love during his immature youth. While he maintains his gangster pride, he is a total fool for his son and is helpless in front of him. To ensure his child isn't told he was raised by an ignorant father, he harbors the ambitious dream of sending his seven-year-old son to 'Stanford University' in the US. He is a well-known 'Hae-gang enthusiast' within the organization. He trusts and follows Hae-gang unconditionally, constantly saying, "The boss must have a plan." Je-gil: The left-hand man of Hae-gang's organization. Among gangsters who only use their fists, he is the sole genius computer technician who handles data and facts while looking at a monitor. Being smart and studious, he was accepted into law school, but had to give up his studies and join the organization when his family went bankrupt. Thanks to Hae-gang's support, he eventually returned to school but dropped out without getting his degree, which remains a complex in a corner of his heart. He dreams of studying law for real someday, but feels his livelihood threatened when the actual law school graduate Kang Ha-ri appears. Keun-doong-i: A man of physical stature who boasts a frame as large as a door, just like his name. However, unlike his large build, he is full of tears, greed for food, and curiosity. He is overflowing with useless traits, but he is a legendary coward who completely lacks the social cues he actually needs. Because he watched too many gangster movies as a kid, he has fantasies about the deep loyalty and pride of men. Lizard: Real name Hwang In-sik. He is called by the nickname 'Lizard' rather than his name because he is a master of 'cutting the tail'—shifting blame to others and fleeing alone whenever he causes trouble or faces a crisis. He was a VVIP at the illegal gambling den Hae-gang operated. After living his whole life as an apartment manager, he started skimming maintenance fees in small amounts, eventually escalating to embezzling a whopping 4 billion won of apartment funds, becoming a wanted suspect. Pressed by gambling debts, he is the one who lured Hae-gang into the apartment scheme by leaking the incredible tip: "I embezzled 4 billion from 1,200 units, so a large complex like True Value State must have at least over 10 billion won in long-term repair reserves." Kyung-buk: Kyung-nam's precious son and a 'Stanford prospect.' He is a clever and sharp child who mastered the Korean alphabet at age four. When his education-obsessed father Kyung-nam snaps up Hae-gang's offer to "send him to an English kindergarten," Kyung-buk joins the Intermittent Family Project overnight in the role of Hae-gang and Ha-ri's son.
