Quick answer: 100 episodes, English original audio, and episodes 1–7 play right here tonight.

Born into poverty, Mason Sharp grows up being looked down on by his classmates. When his fortunes finally turn, he seizes the moment and builds Pinnacle Garments from the ground up, transforming it into the county’s leading clothing manufacturer.

His success makes him the most accomplished among his peers and even wins the admiration of his long-time crush, Thea Ivins. Yet for Mason, this rise is only the beginning—greater ambition, challenges, and battles still lie ahead on his path to true success.
