Giant is a sprawling period drama about three siblings' quest for revenge during the economic boom of 1970-80s Korea.

Synopsis
The plot revolves around the lives of the three Lee children: Kang-mo (Lee Beom-soo), Sung-mo (Park Sang-min), and Mi-joo (Hwang Jung-eum). Their father was killed by Hwang Tae-seob (Lee Deok-hwa) and Jo Pil-yeon (Jeong Bo-seok), and their mother died in an accident. As a result, the children were separated. Kang-mo and Sung-mo were raised by their father's killers: Kang-mo helped Hwang Tae-seob avoid bankruptcy by advocating the use of a different landfill material, and was later adopted by Tae-seob, and Sung-mo was raised by Jo Pil-yeon, who is a KCIA official. After growing up and knowing the truth, the brothers set off on a quest for revenge. Mi-joo and Jo Pil-yeon's son, Min-woo, fall in love but cannot be allowed together because their families are enemies. Mi-joo becomes pregnant and goes into hiding while Min-woo desperately searches for her. The whole series revolves around the brothers trying to bring down Jo Pil-yeon, who is also cunning and slippery in his political tactics. Later, Sung-mo is shot in the head by an agent of Jo Pil-yeon. Miraculously, he survived, and had to hide from the KCIA. Jo Pil-yeon tries to work in the government by making false papers. Kang-mo finds out that Sung-mo has knowledge of the contents of the real papers, and finds him. They release the papers, and Jo Pil-yeon fails his objective. He runs away, but is later found and arrested. Sung-mo undergoes surgery to take the bullet out of his head, but tragically dies. Many years later, a now-insane Jo Pil-yeon breaks out of prison to try to murder Kang-mo, but fails, and he commits suicide afterwards. The last scene shows Kang-mo receiving word from his wife Hwang Jung-yeon (Hwang Tae-seob's daughter) that his long-lost brother (a fourth sibling who was adopted by an American couple many years ago) has come to visit him...
