:Phoenix 2020

Wealthy chaebol, Lee Ji-eun (Hong Soo-ah) falls in love with the poor Jang Sae-hoon and marries against their families' wishes. Ji-eun was engaged to Sae-hoon's family friend, Seo Jeong-in (Seo Ha-jun), but he was in a committed relationship with another woman. The couple was expecting a child despite the lack of approval from Jeong-in's father. Ji-eun and Sae-hoon eventually divorce, and Jeong-in later dies. After ten years, Ji-eun and Sae-hoon meet again but with swapped lifestyles. Once affluent, Ji-eun lost her fortune while Sae-hoon became a rich entrepreneur. Their changes in wealth allow them to view the world differently and understand each other leading to their reunification.

However, they both have other love interests. Ji-eun meets Seo Jeong-min (Seo Ha-jun), heir to the Seorin Group and Jeong-in's twin brother, and they start going out while Sae-hoon is dating his girlfriend, Mi-ran. At the same time, Jeong-min's ambitious stepmother, Choi Myung-hwa, wants to hang on to Seorin Group at all costs. She is Mi-ran's mother but living under an assumed name and has not seen Mi-ran in years. Jeong-min dislikes Myung-hwa, and Seo Moon-soo (chairman of Seorin Group, Jeong-min's father, and Myung-hwa's husband) plans to remove her.

The show ends with a series of legal cases against Seorin Group, ironically brought to court by Jeong-min himself after he tires of his father's controlling tendencies. Seo Moon-soo is angry at his only living son after Jeong-in's death. In the legal chaos, Moon-soo jettisons Myung-hwa but she kills him and stays with her daughter. Ji-eun and Jeong-min break up, and Ji-eun and Sae-hoon start to work together again.

On June 30, 2020, SBS announced their remake of the 2004 drama Phoenix with the original writer, Lee Yoo-jin. The remake ran for 120 episodes, a much longer run compared to the original's 26 episodes. Lee Yoo-jin commented on the story, "It seems to be a different story from the original. The setting of reunion between Lee Ji-eun and Jang Se-hoon is changed, but the reunion and love journey of the two are different from the original. After reuniting the once-loved man and woman, the process of recovering and understanding the wounds that have been inflicted on each other has been depicted, rather than the ending of achieving love again."{{cite web|url=https://www.hankookilbo.com/News/Read/A2020100608170003986|title='불새 2020' 이유진 작가 "故 이은주, 지금도 문득 생각나고 보고 싶다"|trans-title='Firebird 2020' Lee Yoo-jin, "The late Lee Eun-ju, I still suddenly think and want to see you"|date=October 6, 2020|access-date=10 October 2020|website=Hankookilbo|language=ko|archive-date=October 13, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201013230911/https://m.hankookilbo.com/News/Read/A2020100608170003986|url-status=live}} The filming started in the second half of 2020{{Cite web |title='불새'가 의외의 방식으로 리메이크 된다 |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=98742 |website=Huffington Post Korea |date=June 30, 2020 |access-date=May 14, 2020 |archive-date=November 21, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201121203423/https://www.huffingtonpost.kr/entry/k-drama-phoenix_kr_5efae5dbc5b612083c522225 |url-status=live }} and a production presentation was held on October 20, 2020.{{cite web|url=https://www.segye.com/newsView/20201020515611|title=[포토] 홍수아 '아름다운 미소'|trans-title=[Photo] Soo-ah'Beautiful Smile'|date=October 20, 2020|access-date=21 October 2020|website=SEGYE|language=ko|archive-date=November 21, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201121203427/https://m.segye.com/view/20201020515611|url-status=live}}
