Mr. Back (Hangul: 미스터 백; RR: Miseuteo Baek) is a South Korean television series starring Shin Ha-kyun, Jang Na-ra, Lee Joon, Park Ye-jin and Jung Suk-won. It aired on MBC from November 5 to December 25, 2014, for 16 episodes.
Mr. Back is based on the novel Old Man (Hangul: 올드맨), which was serialized on Kakao Page (a content service platform of mobile messenger KakaoTalk) for six months from April to October 2014.
Choi Go-bong (meaning "highest peak" or "highest salary") is a 70-year-old man who runs a large hotel conglomerate, and he's known nothing but greed and selfishness all his life. When his body suddenly transforms back into his 30s, he becomes gleeful at the chance to relive his youth. He renames himself Choi Shin-hyung (meaning "newest model"), and meets Eun Ha-soo, a part-timer who's just landed her first regular job. Because of Ha-soo, he learns what love is for the first time in his life. At the same time, he develops a relationship with his estranged son and troublesome heir, Choi Dae-han.
