RESULTS OF PROMOTION REVIEW FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2023
PERSONNEL CHANGES
CHEONGJU DISTRICT
I don't see his name.
Oh no.
How many times has it been now?
Is this the third? Fourth?
He's almost the same age as the chief prosecutor.
Where's Dong-jae?
Dong-jae! Dong-jae!
You haven't heard anything from the head of the department?
What?
Look, your name isn't on the list.
I thought they left your name out by mistake.
Is it true you were passed over again?
Wow, those heartless bastards.
Congrats.
What's there to congratulate?
Despite my promotion,
I'm still a rank-and-file prosecutor like you.
How many years have you been passed over?
Is that their way of telling you to quit or what?
It breaks my heart.
I know full well what you've been through.
And what exactly have I been through?
What do you know?
You're my senior and they should've promoted you.
Hey!
Tell everyone on this floor that dinner's been called off.
We're in no mood for it.
- Okay. - Hey!
I only meant well.
It was to celebrate your promotion.
Don't get mad at them. It was my idea.
Go ahead, enjoy the barbecue
and drinks.
How did you even know to get a cake?
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Prosecutor! Prosecutor!
Fuck!

Congratulations on your promotion!
EPISODE 1
Great job.
Thank you, sir. I'll do my best.
Please, allow me to pour you a drink.
Don't you see her glass is empty?
Do you think the people who were promoted
will be transferred to other offices?
You know I'm out of the loop.
Yes, but that's because you choose to be.
You're not interested one bit in workplace politics.
He sure has a lot to laugh about.
Your mother's coming this weekend.
When will you be home?
I bragged I'd definitely get promoted this time.
We left the restaurant.
We're heading to Spare Bowling Alley.
So what?
PROSECUTOR SEO DONG-JAE
"Uncovering murder with intuition.
Interview with Seo Dong-jae."
"Veteran prosecutor comes back from hell alive."
That was me.
That's who I was.
Well...
I've still got it.
Yes!
Did you get special training?
You're in the groove today.
- Give me some energy! - Here, take it!
Here you all are. Pro Jo!
Dong-jae...
- Beer? - That was close!
Close? It was a complete miss.
Well, the ball just happened to end up in the gutter.
Hold the ball like this.
Focus.
And that's a clean strike!
Yes!
Yes!
Did you see that? Did you see her?
Isn't he handsome?
You shouldn't lose control after drinking expensive liquor.
I had soju.
So what if you didn't make senior prosecutor?
Who would believe you're in your late 40s?
I wish I could live just one day with a face like yours.
No need to listen to this nonsense.
- You can go. - Wait, stop.
You deserve a little something for your service.
No, I'm good.
When an adult gives you something,
- just be grateful and take it. - She said no.
And this is from this handsome guy.
Go.
Excuse me.
That's not working. It stopped.
Okay.
- That stopped. - I'll go.
I'm sorry.
I understand.
My legs are starting to hurt.
Hope you're not too upset.
There must be a reason for everything.
There's a silver lining to all this.
There is?
Sure.
For one, I get to keep learning from a great boss.
I wouldn't be able to work under you if I got the promotion.
Actually, I was a little anxious that my time with you might end.
As long as you don't blame me for giving you
- a bad performance review. - Did you really?
You gave me a bad review?
You want to hash it out?
I want to improve.
I'm going to stick with you till the end, okay?
It's working. Till the end.
- Whose turn is it next? - Let me have a go.
Huh?
Geez.
It's been a while since I bowled.
No cheers for me?
This is the 8 o'clock news.
The Ministry of Justice conducted a large-scale reshuffle
of mid-level prosecutors, and announced the list
of promotions and transfers.
The ministry clearly stated that...
Smile.
Those whose duties
directly affect the livelihoods of citizens were...
Darn it.
Damn it!
Damn. Why...?
Damn it.
Damn.
What an awful way to start the day.
CHEONGJU DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
TEAM 1 CHIEF PROSECUTOR, JEON MI-RAN
PROSECUTOR SEO DONG-JAE
These are the cases assigned to you.
It's a huge load.
Misdemeanor charges, non-payment,
traffic violations...
These are all petty cases.
RENTAL SCAM VICTIM ASSAULT
GWANBONG INTERSECTION BICYCLE COLLISION
TRAFFIC VIOLATION: SPEEDING / MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT LICENSE PLATE
SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT SKY ACADEMY / DESIGNER CLOTHING SCAM
Excuse me... Excuse me.
BAEKJEON RESTAURANT DINE AND DASH CASE
You can't keep coming in for the same offence.
But I have no money for food.
GAJI MARKET USED GOODS SCAM
This is it. The used rice cooker.
I'm about to join the police force.
Why would I plant a hidden camera?
This is nothing but a witch hunt.
Sir,
this isn't just about my broken arm.
OCTOBER 24, AROUND 8 A.M.
He jumped out of nowhere!
I was following the speed limit, and it wasn't even a crosswalk.
But after making me crash
do you know what he said?
You seem fine. Let's not make a big deal out of it.
Fine?
Take a look at my car.
This porcelain...
So you want to settle for $100,000?
For this vase?
It's no ordinary vase.
It's a moon jar made by artist Lee Eun-sang.
My arm...
Broken bones will heal over time. But that...
When is the offender coming in?
He'll be here shortly.
Mr. Ju Jeong-gi,
I've listened to your side of the story.
I'll make sure to consider it when I talk to the offender.
That's it then. Thank you.
Prosecutor,
he'll put on a pitiful show. Don't fall for it. Okay?
- Okay, Mr. Ju Jeong-gi. - Or else I'll die.
- You need to leave. - Okay. Thank you.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
But the offender isn't the kind of person to do such a thing.
His restaurant is quite famous in the neighborhood.
VICTIM'S PERSONAL INFORMATION
Lee Gyeong-hak? He owns a famous restaurant?
Mr. Seo,
would you allow me to take a look at the case file?
Yeah.
You have the nerve to hit me?
- What's going on? - Hit me again. Go on.
The story about your car getting smashed is bullshit, isn't it?
I think we should use an insider.
So you can get the credit for his work?
Is he reliable?
The chief is keeping an eye on this.
We both have to do a good job.
You know I never disappoint.
You smashed my car and broke the porcelain!
And now you hit me?
Did I break your porcelain?
Do you have proof? Do you have proof I did it?
What's going on?
It's nothing, just a minor car accident.
The car isn't the issue here.
Do you know how much that porcelain costs?
You sure like creating a commotion.
Anyone passing by would think you had the car accident right here.
I'll deal with it promptly.
So this case went to you.
You gave him the case?
You're all working so hard.
You should've taken proper care of that valuable porcelain.
What? I'm the victim here!
- Coming? - Yes, I'm coming.
He sure has a way of riling people up!
Prosecutor.
Add assault charges to...
Stop!
Disorderly conduct in a government office.
Both of you!
Tell me what happened.
Why are you clamming up now?
You seemed to have a lot to say earlier.
I...
am guilty.
Yes, I admit it.
Okay then.
But...
how was I supposed to know he was carrying
something that expensive in his car?
In any case, you shouldn't have jumped out onto the road.
It wasn't even a crosswalk.
It's 100% your fault, Mr. Lee Gyeong-hak.
You mean I have to pay the full $100,000?
Then you should have made an effort to resolve this.
You say you can't pay a cent, that he's partly at fault.
Do you think your impertinence will do you any good?
Prosecutor.
I live hand to mouth.
He drives a luxury car and can afford expensive items.
Shouldn't you at least be on my side?
If you're looking for someone to side with you, get a lawyer.
Can he afford to lose $100,000 just because he's rich?
You think only your money is valuable?
But is that porcelain really worth $100,000?
What if he broke it somewhere else and he's pinning it on me?
Sir,
are you accusing him of fraud when you're the guilty party?
The police confirmed with the gallery that it's authentic.
The victim purchased it an hour before the accident,
so it couldn't have been broken beforehand.
Don't even think
of saying these things to the victim, okay?
Then what should I do?
Do time.
What?
Go to prison.
Are you crazy? That's out of the question!
You won't serve time, won't pay up.
What kind of attitude is that?
What about the grandpas and grandmas?
How many grandpas and grandmas do you have?
I'm talking about my customers.
HAPPY RESTAURANT
ENJOY HAPPINESS FOR 1 DOLLAR
I charge 1 dollar per meal.
It's just a simple, humble meal.
But I make everything myself from scratch.
So I can save on costs and serve more customers.
If I hire someone, I can't make ends meet.
- Thank you. - Bye.
I sacrifice sleep
so I can save on supply and delivery costs.
I've been going to the early morning market
every Tuesday for over a decade.
- Are you okay? - Move.
Shit. Shit!
Damn it.
Hey, mister. Look what you've done.
Why on earth did you jump out like that?
Damn it!
How are you going to pay for this?
"A $1 meal worth $10."
"Happy Restaurant takes care
of the disadvantaged in Cheongju."
That was the gist of the articles about him.
Mr. Lee Gyeong-hak, I mean the offender,
was going to receive a ministerial commendation,
but he declined it.
A ministerial commendation?
He also turned down all offers to appear on TV.
Why would he do that...?
But an offender is still an offender, right?
And the victim is adamant.
What?
Right.
If I play my cards right, this could turn into a major case.
But he's the offender...
You're all working so hard.
You should've taken proper care of that valuable porcelain.
What? I'm the victim here!
"Proper care"?
What does he mean?
That obnoxious jerk.
Didn't you say you were buying coffee?
Isn't it a pleasant surprise?
Who else but me would think of vending machine coffee?
About that Happy Restaurant case...
Was it originally your team's case?
There's no your team, my team.
We were busy with the narcotics case.
What a load of crap.
It seems really odd the more I think about it.
I mean, why wasn't he more careful
with that expensive porcelain?
Why wasn't he?
Did you hear anything interesting?
Dong-jae,
is ignorance a crime?
If I were him, I would've sent it by special delivery.
There's no shame in asking a junior if you can't handle it.
That's why I asked!
And you gave me a clear answer.
What if I asked a direct question?
Would you have answered?
You should use different tactics depending on the person.
For example, our boss.
She detests cheap flattery.
Although some don't realize that they don't know.
- Mr. Seo... - Mr. Seo.
I did some research and it's common practice
to use special delivery for valuable artworks.
For insurance coverage and...
Hey, Seong Si-woon.
Yes?
You think I didn't know about the special delivery?
Sorry, sir.
Want some advice?
Stop being so eager. It'll get you nowhere.
- Got it? - Sorry.
- What? - Yes.
He could've given this to me sooner.
Do you know when they're going to make a move?
They need the goods to do it.
If you're stalling on purpose, you're dead meat.
If that were the case, would I have contacted you to begin with?
Wow.
It appears to be an extreme expression
of the properties of light.
Yes, that's right. The artist said
he was greatly inspired by Impressionism.
Impressionism.
GOD BLESS YOU
Wow.
This painting has a calming effect on me.
But it also exudes a sense of loneliness.
You have a keen eye for art.
The artist painted it while grieving for his wife.
He wanted to express the hope and happiness
he found in his children with multiple layers of paint.
Is this piece available for purchase?
This is the contract.
The price is $54,000.
Can I take it with me today?
I'm sorry, but considering that it could be affected
by environmental conditions and due to the risk of damage,
would it be okay if we deliver it
directly to your desired location?
You are so well prepared,
even for the possibility of damage during transport.
If you go to such lengths for a single painting,
you must take extra precautions for porcelain or sculptures.
Of course.
On October 24, Mr. Ju Jeong-gi purchased
a moon jar here at Pio Gallery.
Why didn't you send it via special delivery that time?
Sorry? Please sign the...
You allowed a regular customer
to transport an artwork worth $100,000 by himself?
What if it broke?
We would never ask a customer to do that.
Mr. Ju Jeong-gi specifically requested
to take it himself that day.
Only that day?
What about previous purchases?
Those were sent by special delivery.
He signed the waiver of liability that covers any damages,
so we agreed to his request.
Why don't you ask him yourself?
It's not that I declined the special delivery, but...
It seemed like a hassle when it was just a short distance away.
And it wasn't a hassle for your previous purchases?
The one day you make an exception
you just happen to get into a car accident.
What a strange coincidence.
I'll tell you everything, since you're a prosecutor.
Actually,
I'm a lawyer.
But you know how hard it is for us lawyers these days.
We're practically like salespeople.
We have to butter up our clients and have connections.
You can't relate. You don't have to deal with that,
since you're a public official.
The whole point is to be able to meet face-to-face,
which is why I delivered the item myself,
instead of having it delivered.
So who were you so desperate to gift this to?
I'm not obligated to tell you that.
It's not a violation of the Anti-bribery and Anti-graft Act.
I didn't even get to deliver it.
By the way, what are you doing here?
You're not thinking
I caused the accident on purpose, are you?
I came to admire the art.
I lose credibility with my client and a hefty sum of money.
And on top of that, I'm suspected of wrongdoing
by the prosecutor in charge of my case.
If you have so much time to waste,
go tell that prick to pay the settlement money.
Sir.
It's about the new prosecutor in charge of the case.
Is he onto something too?
No, it's not that. He's a bit of a nuisance.
Criminal Division 1, Seo Dong-jae.
EHONG CONSTRUCTION
I know.
You do?
I'll look into it.
You keep at it.
HAPPY RESTAURANT
We can't serve food today.
There's no water.
But I'm hungry.
What do you mean there's no water?
Hey.
Aren't you open for business?
You need to earn every penny you can to pay me.
Anyone here?
Holy crap.
He's trying to kill me.
Do you know who I am?
- Mr. Ju Jeong-gi. - You're going to regret this.
You'll regret it!
Crazy jerk.
What happened?
No water since this morning.
It's upsetting enough to have to send the old folks away
on an empty stomach, but that jerk had to show up too.
The water's been shut off.
In the whole area?
Well, there are only a few stores left in the area anyway.
It's tough, isn't it?
Running a restaurant by yourself.
I've managed to stay afloat because this place is mine.
But many other businesspeople have been...
evicted by their landlords.
My wife...
My wife used to feed the people in this neighborhood.
But she's not here anymore.
She said she was sick of the smell of rice
and she left me.
Oh, dear.
I should have quit then too.
But...
people just kept coming,
asking if there was any food.
So I said, "One more day, just one more,"
and here I am.
I know.
"One more day, just one more,"
and you end up here.
I'm sure you didn't come here to have a meal.
I've been thinking hard
about what would be in your best interest.
The best thing would be for you to settle.
Prosecutor.
That prick
insisted on driving an expensive car
while his car is in the repair shop,
so I'm paying his rental fees.
And now you're telling me to cough up more money.
Still, wouldn't it be better than wasting more
of your precious money on him?
Or how about doing a TV show?
As a kind-hearted restaurant owner.
No, you can just be yourself.
You can do interviews and game shows.
Donations will come pouring in.
Forget it!
Not a chance.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
My administrative officer called you, right?
Yes.
Happy Restaurant in Jangsong-dong.
The water's been shut off.
He has to open the restaurant. Could you come quickly please?
Tomorrow morning?
Yes, thank you.
Okay.
Who was that?
The Water Department.
If you had contacted them, it would have taken a few days.
But they're coming tomorrow.
They think it's a problem with the pipes.
They're in the yard, right?
What?
The pipes?
I've had no problem with them for decades.
Decades? No wonder they broke.
Well, that's that.
About the TV show...
I said forget it!
I get nervous enough having to go to the police station
and the prosecutor's office.
Sir,
if you find it too nerve-racking, I could do the show with you.
Sir?
Sir!
Should I get a grinder?
I should have ground it up already.
Why is he so averse to TV shows?
He's no help at all.
Geez!
What the heck.
Hey! Why...?
Does that prick have a death wish or something?
What the...?
Okay.
Yes.
3975.
Hey! The car accident involving the porcelain item.
- I have the file... - You still have it?
What was the license plate number?
300 Da 3975.
3975...
It's a match.
What?
It almost hit my car at 8:02.
The accident...
Happened at 8:10.
Both at the same place.
It's in front of Happy Restaurant.
HAPPY RESTAURANT
He drove around the same place within a span of eight minutes.
Hey, this...
Get the CCTV footage of the road prior to the accident.
I'll get right to it.
HAPPY RESTAURANT
Fraud...
CONFERENCE ROOM
Oh.
After you.
It's a new kind of ecstasy called Purple.
It spread rapidly for a year or two,
but has recently disappeared completely.
They caught on?
No, it's just a supply issue.
Nothing to do with us.
How can you be sure?
Boss.
You know the Happy Restaurant case...
You haven't wrapped it up yet?
It's just an accident. Just get the parties to settle.
It's not an accident.
It's an incident.
Did something turn up?
Actually, I found something.
I found it.
So what is it?
I'll report to you
once I reach a definitive conclusion.
Looks like you have a reliable source.
Who says I have a source?
You do.
You didn't suggest it might be a supply issue.
You said outright that it was.
Seeing that you're so confident,
you must be on friendly terms with your informant.
You watch too many movies.
Have you ever taken on a narcotics or anything like it?
Sure, I have.
Homicide, organized crime, drugs...
the whole shebang.
Sure.
"Sure."
Just wait and see.
3975, 3975.
3975! It's here.
- Thank you. - Sure.
I just boasted about this case. I've got to find something.
Yes!
RECENT DESTINATION HAPPY RESTAURANT
What are they doing?
Sit down.
Okay.
- Mr. Ju Jeong-gi. - Yes?
You car didn't break down, so why is it at the repair shop?
What? My car?
What are you talking about?
It crashed into the guardrail and was taken by a tow truck.
From October 24, the day of the accident, until now,
you haven't driven the car?
No.
Okay.
Take a look at this.
One, two, three.
Mr. Ju Jeong-gi.
You recognize your car, right?
What is this?
Turning right isn't illegal, and this was before the accident.
What's the problem?
What could be the problem?
Same road, four minutes later.
8:06.
And again after four minutes.
8:10.
What does this mean?
It means that Mr. Ju Jeong-gi circled the same road
- for eight minutes. - I see.
I was lost.
It was my first time there.
You said in your statement that you were on your way
- to deliver the present. - He did.
Ah, right.
That is correct,
but I lost my way.
Were you planning to gift the porcelain
to the Happy Restaurant owner?
The final destination entered in your car's GPS
right before the accident was Happy Restaurant.
THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT
It was intentional, wasn't it?
The same time every Tuesday, the same place.
You knew when he unloads the produce from his truck.
You waited for the perfect time.
I got hungry on my way.
Can't I go to a restaurant to eat?
Mr. Ju Jeong-gi,
this is fraud,
explicit deceit.
Fraud? I'm the victim here.
If this is how you want to play it,
I'm requesting a formal trial.
Fine. We'll charge you and conduct a formal investigation.
Prosecutor Seo.
Look...
It's all up to you, Mr. Ju Jeong-gi.
You either settle amicably with the restaurant owner
or face criminal prosecution.
I've witnessed some things too.
What...?
Your timing was off and you almost crashed
into the oncoming vehicle, didn't you?
That was me.
Take your time and think it over.
Mr. Seo.
You were amazing back there.
What an incredible pressure tactic.
I'd love to learn it.
How long has it been?
I'd forgotten this feeling,
surrounded by grumpy seniors and indifferent juniors.
MY BOSS
Yes, ma'am?
Yes.
Yes.
Of course. Yes.
Hello.
I'm here.
I see you have a guest.
Looks like you've had too much to drink. Are you okay?
My head is killing me.
You're looking sharp.
Oh dear.
Rest your head here.
Or not.
Maybe duller than before.
Oh...
You don't have my new business card.
I don't even have your old one.
Ehong Construction.
- How do you know her? - You know...
how we businessmen operate.
Don't act like you don't know.
CEO NAM WAN-SEONG
Stop wasting your energy
on trivial things like a car accident.
The restaurant won't last long anyway.
Besides, we aspire to grow our rural business.
What's the limit on this?
It's not low.
The restaurant won't last long
and you want to grow your business.
You've piqued my curiosity.
I thought so.
We didn't even touch this.
Let's eat and talk about old times.
So what if the card has no limit?
It's expired.
Do you think I'd give you an expired card?
It's so old-fashioned.
This is a decade-old move.
I guess old habits die hard.
I apologize for being old-fashioned.
Don't be angry.
Just think of this as a nice meal with an old friend.
I'll see you tomorrow, ma'am.
Why does he keep popping up in my life?
What did your wife say? She liked it, right?
Who is it today?
I don't golf with just anyone.
Today it's a close friend of mine.
You can't take ten steps in Chungcheong Province
without stepping on his land.
There's no agenda.
I just wanted to flaunt that I'm friends with a prosecutor.
You're nothing without your ego, Mr. Park.
And you sure know how to boost a guy's ego, don't you?
Stop it.
Oh, he's here.
This is Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae, whom I mentioned.
Yes.
I've heard so much about you.
My name is Nam Wan-seong.
Have you been name-dropping me?
You have a good friend.
So...
what's the trend these days?
How do people entertain?
I'm dying to know.
Forget that.
What's with Happy Restaurant?
Are you pursuing a vendetta or something?
There's the Dong-jae I remember.
Were you putting on an act earlier in front of your boss?
It's a big secret.
Guess who let me in on it.
My boss?
The legislative, judicial and executive branches.
For businessmen, secrets are a source of money.
And legislation is where the money's at.
- The National Assembly? - You want to go?
- Where? - To the National Assembly.
I can get you in.
What a load of crap.
I'm planning to redevelop the whole area
around the restaurant.
No one knows yet. No one should.
I intend to buy up all the land.
But that 1-dollar geezer refuses to sell.
I offered to pay him way more.
But he won't budge.
I wonder if he's gotten wind of it.
I see you've grown some balls.
You were too timid to say a word to me back then.
I'm bleeding money because
of that self-righteous restaurant owner.
- Get out of the way. - We're talking about
tens of millions of dollars once the area is redeveloped.
The National Assembly is nothing to snub your nose at.
And you think the judiciary is?
How would you like a tax audit?
Senior prosecutor!
Why do you think she gave that case to you, Prosecutor Seo?
Because her headstrong subordinate
might smell something fishy, she deliberately gave the case
to the most submissive person.
But she said the pushover she trusted
stabbed her in the back.
Why are there so many nosy people
at Cheongju District Prosecutors' Office?
I'm starting to feel disappointed in her.
And if I'm disappointed, that's bad news for her.
You two duke it out.
You want to know how I know your boss?
She takes kickbacks from me!
If I spill the beans you all...
Shit.
I'm not trying to take it for free.
I'm willing to pay for the place, and very generously too.
If you get him to sell the place,
it won't go unrecognized by your boss.
Nor by me.
Then everyone will be...
happy.
Your boss will be happy.
I'll be happy.
You'll be happy.
That old geezer will be happy.
Good shot.
Let's hit a good shot.
Crazy bastard.
I'm planning to redevelop
the whole area around the restaurant.
We're talking about tens of millions of dollars
once the area is redeveloped.
I'm not trying to take it for free.
I'm willing to pay for the place, and very generously too.
If you get him to sell the place,
it won't go unrecognized by your boss.
You haven't wrapped it up yet?
It's just an accident. Just get the parties to settle.
HAPPY RESTAURANT
Has he gone home?
I can't leave without seeing him.
Huh?
I told him the Water Department is coming tomorrow.
He's too good-hearted.
Huh?
Sorry about this.
But...
you dug your own grave.
Why did you have to call the Water Department?
No one can hear you.
I told you everyone moved out.
You don't have to pay up. It's a scam, not an accident!
The victim intentionally caused the accident and targeted you.
I'm the only one who can set things right.
Without me, you have no chance.
Prosecutor...
Why would I need to set things right?
Why do you think I dug this up?
To flee?
You think that will solve anything?
Think about how he ridiculed and insulted you.
You have to show that prick what he gets for messing
with the likes of you.
I could just kill him.
Why didn't you, then?
You sure seem capable.
Because you wouldn't have been able to deny it.
Everyone knows you two are at each other's throats,
so if you kill him, you're heading straight to prison.
But...
there's a way to get back at him without killing him.
I have the evidence.
We can get him for fraud.
Don't you want to know how?
That porcelain was really worth $100,000.
It's the "why" that matters here.
Just...
Yes.
Forget it.
Sir, sir.
Where do you intend to go with all this?
You want to keep working like a dog?
My colleagues know that I came here.
You want to wander around homeless at your age?
You deserve compensation for slaving away
at that restaurant all these years.
I can change your life completely.
I can make you a millionaire.
That's why I came here.
I'll make you a millionaire!
