Life of a Securities Analyst in Joseon

Park Hyo-min, who worked as an analyst at a securities firm in Yeouido, ends his life pointlessly from overwork. But the place he is reborn into is, astonishingly, Hanyang in the early 19th century during the reign of King Sunjo of Joseon! A battleground where great merchant families dominating Joseon’s commercial world and powerful figures at court struggle against one another for wealth and power. And among the people of Joseon, whose minds are being shaken by the appearance of Western black ships, factional politics, and the slow collapse of the status system, there are those who dream of a world-changing upheaval. In that turbulent era, Park Hyo-min, a great merchant who organizes a rising trading company using modern investment analysis techniques and stock issuance, appears on the front stage of history. ‘In this life, I’ll live as the master, not the slave of money!’ A disruptive force in Joseon’s economic ecosystem, the incarnation of modern capitalism, and a financial magnate’s dramatic life story begins!
