Ki Ki-jong, who purchased the ordinary three-story Seyoon Building as Youngchul, was the owner of the building but lived a hard life. He ran a part-time job in flyers and deliveries to pay off loan interest, and was a salty building owner and breadwinner who was worried about repaying his monthly loan and also bought his wife's birthday gifts through second-hand transactions. There was only one reason why the jockey bell held out. He was holding on to hope and holding out for the day, saying, "Whether you're dead or dead, you have to endure until it's redeveloped."

Then one day, Ki received a strange call from unidentified financial company Real Capital. It was a notification that if the loan was not repaid, the building would have to be handed over. Ki Ji-jong shouted at Jonah (Shim Eun-kyung), who was in charge of the situation, saying the name of his brother-in-law Kim Kyun (Kim Nam-gil), a detective in a violent class. On top of that, when Real Capital found out that it had collected its own list of creditors, he felt that things were going weird.

Ki-jong, who was distracted by the building, broke his promise to consult with his wife, Kim Sun (Im Soo-jung), and even touched his daughter's study abroad funds, breaking the marital relationship. The jockey, who could not collapse here, tried to lend money here and there, and even sought help from his brother-in-law, Kim Gyun.

But that night, Kim Kyun, who was investigating Real Capital, died in a car accident. There, the jockey saw the undertaker (played by Lee Shin-ki) next to Jonah. Upon learning that Real Capital was behind Kim Kyun's death, Ki-jong was scared and ran away from the scene. After learning that Kim Gyun even applied for severance pay at the funeral hall and tried to lend him money, Ki-jong struggled with guilt.

The focus of the broadcast on this day was a shocking ending. As soon as he returned to the Seyoon Building and tried to report it to the police, Ki-jong heard a suspicious sound from an empty underground freezer. When I opened the door, there was a friend Min Hwal-sung (Kim Joon-han), who asked about the freezer, and Min Hwal-sung's wife, Jeon-kyung (Jeong Soo-jung), who was kidnapped and confined. The surprising appearance of Ki-jong, who was caught up in the kidnapping drama without knowing the truth, ended the ending, raising questions about the second episode of the kidnapping drama.

The first episode of "Building Owners" began with the daily life of a debt-ridden building owner and the head of the household, and showed him encountering unexpected events and commotion. Jungwoo Ha, who returned to the small screen after 19 years, showed its power to dominate the screen and increased viewers' immersion. While portraying the funny reality of Gi-jong with his unique life-friendly acting, he expressed the moments of crisis with urgency and led the play to raise expectations for the work.

Meanwhile, the second episode of How to Be a Building Owner in Korea will air at 9:10 p.m. on the 15th.
