Lee Jung Do is a young man who spends his days having fun, playing games with his friends or learning various marital arts/fighting techniques.

I can't remember why I started this show, out of all the others that aired in the last three weeks. I think it was the "God of War" mention and the "illegitimate daughter", both of which have been in my favorite short dramas lately.
