Invincible Lee Pyung Kang (Hangul: 천하무적 이평강; Hanja: 天下無敵李平岡; RR: Cheonhamujeok I Pyeong-gang), also known as Taming of the Heir, is a 2009 South Korean television series starring Nam Sang-mi and Ji Hyun-woo. In a modern retelling of the classic Korean folktale "Princess Pyeonggang and the Fool Ondal" in which a princess helps her timid husband transform into an outstanding general during the Three Kingdoms era, Lee Pyung-kang is a golf course planner who "tames" Woo On-dal, the prodigal son of a rich man. It aired on KBS2 from November 9 to December 29, 2009 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.
Lee Pyung-kang moved to Gangwon Province, far away from Seoul as a teen due to her father's occupation. Thanks to him, a renowned golf course designer, Pyung-kang was able to fully understand every detail of golf course planning while growing up. Her father, however, unfortunately met with an untimely death before completing his ambitious work. Frustrated, Pyung-kang tried to support the family, but the harsh reality didn't allow her and the rest of the family to live a comfortable life.
Eight years later. Pyung-kang who wanted to follow in her father's footsteps to become a golf course designer, has to come to terms with the reality. She is now the breadwinner of the family, living paycheck by paycheck. She does odd jobs at a resort town where she meets Woo On-dal, the owner’s eldest son.
On-dal's charismatic father Pyung-won demands that On-dal pass the semi-pro qualification test in a month. When he fails to make it, On-dal is told that he will be removed from his father's will due to his incompetence. To make matters worse, Pyung-won collapses from a sudden stroke and in the midst of misfortune rumor circulates that On-dal's stepmother and her son are going to take over the resort town. Being cornered, On-dal has no other choice but to stand on his own feet. But for On-dal who lacks competence and determination, retaking the resort is beyond his capacity.
