Kang Jae-kyung (Hyun Bin) is a typical rich kid. He is arrogant, drives sporty cars, attends the big clubs and rides through school corridors on his motorcycle. As his 18th birthday approaches, he is set to inherit his grandfather's fortune, but first Jae-kyung is required to transfer to a new school in Gangwon Province and graduate. Until then all access to his penthouse, cottage and credit cards are denied. Should he fail to graduate or drops out then he loses everything. If he wishes to give up, he will only receive 0.1% of his over-all inheritance. With this in mind, he heads out to the countryside, to a small town in which daily life is far removed from what he is used to.
Distribution rights to Japan were purchased by Digital Adventure for US$1,500,000.[7][8]
It inspired the Nepali film Mero Euta Saathi Chha (2009), the Turkish film Sendan Bana Kalan and the Telugu film Pilla Zamindar (2011). All remakes were hits at the box office in their respective countries.
