'''[[The Slingshot']]'' (남자 이야기), aka ''Story of a Man'', is a [[Korean Series]] (20 episodes) about corporate intrigue, murder, and revenge.
 
Kim Shin (Park Yong-ha) is a rich young playboy, the younger son of a family that operates a dumpling factory. He's content to mark time with his gorgeous girlfriend Seo Kyung-ah (Park Shi-yeon), until tragedy strikes in the form of a television news report accusing his family of putting unsafe ingredients in their dumplings. The charges are false, but the family business goes into bankruptcy anyway. His responsible, hardworking older brother, Kim Wook, is ruined, and kills himself. Kim Wook's widow and daughters are driven to a life of poverty, pursued by loan sharks looking to get back money that Kim Wook borrowed to try and keep the business afloat.
