Synopsis
editThe Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop is about a Tailor's shop that has been handed down from father to son and is about 50 years old. The Grandfather is desperate to keep the Tailor shop in the family, however his son is not keen and works for a corporate tailor's. The son is also married to the late Chairman's daughter. Once the Chairman dies, a host of power struggles between his wife and her brother and Stepmother ensue. Meanwhile, the Grandfather of the Tailor's shop decides to go on a sabbatical making made to measure suits for the poor and abandoning the Tailor's shop to his wife, daughter and 2 loyal employees. He leaves a letter asking them to sell the shop as he doesn't have the heart to. Eventually, the shop is placed in the hands of a former employee who agrees to run it until the Grandfather returns. The characters share their friendship as well as love at their workplace. Their values are in a sharp contrast to a corporate company that employs many and is seeped in many power struggles.
