# Revolutionary Love

Revolutionary Love (Korean: 변혁의 사랑) is a 2017 South Korean television series starring Choi Si-won, Kang So-ra and Gong Myung. It aired on tvN from October 14 to December 3, 2017.

## Synopsis

Byun Hyuk is the happy-go-lucky second son of Byun Kang-soo, the chairman of Gangsu Group. Byun Woo-sung, the elder son of Byun Kang-soo, is jealous of his younger brother and seizes opportunities to bring him down.
Kwon Jae-hoon is a long time friend of Byun Hyuk and is employed by Gangsu Group to cover up the follies of Hyuk. Jae-hoon's father is a loyal driver of Kang-soo and has also gone to jail because of Hyuk's mistake, which is the cause of Jae-hoon's hatred towards Hyuk.
Baek Joon is a street-smart girl who has multiple part-time jobs and refuses to settle in a full-time permanent job. Her father was wronged by Gangsu Group after being a loyal employee for a long time. She has a crush on Jae-hoon, who is extremely cold towards her.
When Byun Hyuk accidentally meets Baek Joon, he is wearing a custodian's uniform. This leads Joon to believe that Hyuk is just a regular employee of Gangsu Group. Later, when Hyuk is kicked out of his house, he comes to live with Jae-hoon. Joon forces Hyuk to take part-time jobs and in the process imbues him with the confidence to fight Gangsu Group's misconduct and oppressive business policies and practices.
With Woo-sung and Kang-soo fighting hard to bring Hyuk down, Kwon Jae-hoon, Byun Hyuk and Baek Joon unite to expose the corruption of Gangsu Group.
