Plot
Joo Hong-bin (Lee Dong-wook) is a wealthy man with a prickly demeanor who develops a supernatural ability - his anger and mental pain manifest as knives sprouting from his body. He meets Son Se-dong (Shin Se-kyung), a warmhearted girl who becomes entangled in his life. As they fall in love, she slowly heals his heart and he learns to deal with his inner pain and newfound power.{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Min-ji|url=http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/74299/leedongwook-transforms-into-angry-iron-man|title=Lee Dong Wook Explodes in Transformation into Angry Iron Man|website=enewsWorld|access-date=2014-08-26|date=25 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141107041103/http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/74299/leedongwook-transforms-into-angry-iron-man|archive-date=7 November 2014|url-status=dead}}
