On the 100th floor of the ultra-luxury Hera Palace condominium, residents wage a status war that turns openly murderous after the mysterious death of Min Seol-ah, the teenage daughter of Shim Soo-ryeon (Lee Ji-ah), at a Hera Palace party. Real-estate mogul Joo Dan-tae (Um Ki-joon), chairman of J King Holding and Soo-ryeon's husband, sits atop the building's social hierarchy; social climber Oh Yoon-hee (Eugene), an uncertified real-estate consultant, only moves in after fighting to enroll her daughter at the exclusive Cheongah Arts School, while Logan Lee (Park Eun-seok) infiltrates the school as a gym teacher to avenge his adopted sister. SBS's melodrama ran three seasons from October 2020 to September 2021. (IMDb; Wikipedia)
Watches
- Hublot Classic Fusion
- Worn by Um Ki-joon as Joo Dan-tae. TANGIN 瑞士天珺表, a Swiss watch brand's own Zhihu account publishing under its recurring "明星的手表大扒皮" ("Celebrities' Watches, Thoroughly Dissected") format, surveyed Joo Dan-tae's watch collection across the series and states plainly that Season 1's director gave this Hublot Classic Fusion its own close-up shot, framing it as a casual-but-businesslike piece he pairs with checked suits. The source names only the line, with no case size, material, or reference given, and no independent second outlet has been found corroborating the sighting.

- Hublot Spirit of Big Bang
- Worn by Um Ki-joon as Joo Dan-tae. The same TANGIN survey names two further Season 2 sightings on Joo Dan-tae's wrist, one at breakfast and one in a business meeting, describing the model only as "灵魂系列" (literally "soul/spirit series") within his generally sporty rotation. That is Hublot's own Chinese-market name for the tonneau-cased Spirit of Big Bang line, confirmed directly against Hublot's Hong Kong site, which titles its Spirit of Big Bang page "宇舶表 Big Bang灵魂系列." No case size, material, or reference is given, so the sighting is recorded at the line level. (TANGIN; Hublot)Scene image neededSubmit a scene still!
- Blancpain Villeret
- Worn by Um Ki-joon as Joo Dan-tae. In a memorable Season 2 scene, Joo Dan-tae fires a gun at Na Ae-gyo, Shim Soo-ryeon's disguised identity after faking her death, and his hand shakes badly enough to knock over a lamp; TANGIN identifies the watch on his wrist in that scene as a Blancpain "全历月相" (complete calendar with moonphase), calling it his one properly dress-watch piece next to an otherwise sporty collection. That complication is the signature of Blancpain's Villeret line, but the source names no reference, so only the family is asserted. (TANGIN)Scene image neededSubmit a scene still!
- Omega Constellation
- Worn by Um Ki-joon as Joo Dan-tae. The same TANGIN survey credits Joo Dan-tae with an Omega Constellation as well, but only in passing ("also appears on his wrist"), with no scene, no material, and no reference named. This is the thinnest identification on the page: a background mention rather than a described sighting, recorded at family level accordingly. (TANGIN)Scene image neededSubmit a scene still!
- Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous
- Worn by Lee Ji-ah as Shim Soo-ryeon. TANGIN identifies the only watch it names on Shim Soo-ryeon's wrist as a Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous, calling it fitting for a character introduced as a gentle, wealthy wife before her daughter's death sends her into hiding and revenge. No reference is given, so the sighting is recorded at the model level. (TANGIN)Scene image neededSubmit a scene still!
- Zenith (unidentified model)
- Worn by Park Eun-seok as Logan Lee. Introduced as a physical-education teacher who infiltrates Cheongah Arts School to avenge his adopted sister, wealthy heir Logan Lee wears what TANGIN calls a deliberately low-key touch for the character next to Hera Palace's other watches: a Zenith listed at a ¥83,900 retail price, with no model or reference named.

- Michel Herbelin (unidentified model)
- Worn by Eugene as Oh Yoon-hee. As the relatively down-to-earth outsider among Hera Palace's residents, uncertified real-estate consultant Oh Yoon-hee wears a square-cased Michel Herbelin that TANGIN prices at roughly ¥3,000 to ¥15,000, framing it as more attainable than her wealthier neighbors' watches; no model or reference is named.
