"The Reputable Family" revolves around the Choi family as they perform nobleness oblige. Main character played by Cha In Pyo has a spiritual supporter played by Han Go Eun, who is also his love interest. Kim Sung Min will play the evil character and rival to Cha In Pyo.
At the time of war, in 1636, Choi Jin-lip donates his fortune to a crowd of refugees out of generosity when they flood into his quiet village. Choi Guk-sun is unhappy with his grandfather being too generous with poor people. Man-gap, one of the refugees, and Kim Man-bae, Jin-lip¡¯s tenant, bear grudge against Guk-sun over his arrogance. When being appointed to a higher post in Gong-ju, Jin-lip sets his slaves free and lets them share his land. Before leaving for Gong-ju, Jin-lip leaves his grandson a word of great significance saying ¡°People are the most valuable asset in the world...'

The whole world what Guk-sun believed to revolve around him seems to change. Man-bae¡¯s father, Kim Ja-chun buys the land Choi Jin-lip gave to his slaves for free. A group of refugees led by Gil-man takes a commission from Ja-chun.
After witnessing all the changes, Guk-sun comes to realize what his grandfather tried to say. Guk-sun leaves for Hanyang to stand on his own feet once he learns the family¡¯s decision to put him up for adoption to an affluent family.

Guk-sun happens to settle down at Jang Gil-taek¡¯s place where he comes to realize the power of wealth. Aside from Jang¡¯s ability to accumulate fortune, Guk-sun sees his cruel side when it comes to making money.
Guk-sun feels confused finding a proper answer to the question, ¡°Would it be the right way to live caring only about one¡¯s gain while neglecting the poor?¡±

Jang Gil-taek and Yu Hyeong-won order Guk-sun to reclaim barren land in Gyeong-ju province by giving him a book named ¡°NongsaJiksul(The Agricultural Techniques)¡±. Guk-sun borrows seed money from the government office to start his reclamation work in Gyeong-ju.

He gathers villagers and introduces performance-related pay which results in a huge success. Kim Ja-chun and Man-bae start to get nervous about Guk-sun¡¯s success.
