Plot

Following the unexpected death of their gang leader, the organization must select a successor. The two primary candidates, Na Soon-Tae (Jo Woo-Jin) and Dong Kang-Pyo (Jung Kyoung-Ho), are both uninterested in the position, as they are preoccupied with personal ambitions. Na Soon-Tae is a dedicated chef at a Chinese restaurant named Mimiru, where he aspires to expand the business into a national franchise. Meanwhile, Dong Kang-Pyo is deeply committed to the art of tango.

The situation becomes increasingly chaotic when Jo Pan-Ho (Park Ji-Hwan), a gang member who desires the leadership role despite lacking support from his peers, attempts to intervene. The conflict is further complicated by the arrival of Hong Tae-Kyu (Lee Kyoo-Hyung), an undercover police officer who has infiltrated the restaurant as a delivery worker.
