The DramaNext guide
What I Became a Tycoon in the 1980s is about
In the 1980s, a devoted truck driver sells his only truck to pay for his sick father-in-law's medical bills. Instead of gratitude, he is treated like an outsider while prime family shops are gifted to the other sons-in-law. Disillusioned, he cuts off the life-saving medicine, walks away with nothing, and dives into the emerging logistics boom.
I Became a Tycoon in the 1980s is a 92-episode vertical short drama from iDrama, built around revenge, CEO romance and billionaire.
Is it worth watching?
Watch it for the slow build to a payback that lands hard. On top of that: the power gap between the leads and who ends up holding the cards.
At roughly 2–3 hours in total, it's quicker to finish than most full-length series.
