This is a fictitious drama based on historical events.

Year 1982, Fukuoka, Japan.

You came here to elevate Masato.

This is not a place where you can fight as you like.

Do as you promised.

You're supposed to die.

Getting beaten to death by Masato is your role, you asshole.

Take a good look.

This place is our storage center in Fukuoka.

Starting here, we'll turn this into a city with hotels and huge shopping malls.

Yes, sir.

The problem is...

it's not easy to deal with Fudaka-san's gangsters.

I don't think my daughter is happy with me leaving this place to you.

If you're going to make your mark as my successor,

this is the best place.

I understand.

I'll try my best.

Kwang Chul.

Get up, Kwang Chul.

Han Kwang Chul!

Where did this Korean dog come from?

He illegally entered the country...

...on a shipping boat.

I heard he can fight well...

so we used him as Masato's sandbag.

But he succumbed to his nature.

I see.

He's a man.

I see killing aura in his eyes.

This guy...

fought so much...

his molars are gone.

He's...

...always been a fighter.

I'll send him back to Korea...

...as a corpse.

It's too early!

Put him in Masato's place.

It's a generation shift.

Your Japanese name is...

...Hiro Yoshida.

Year 1984

That movie...

...The Godfather.

If I'm Marlon Brando here,

Kwang Chul would have been Al Pacino.

In Ae, why have you come to see me?

You're going to release Chil Sung's guys from the construction site in Seoul?

Let's get into details.

I'm not established in Seoul yet.

I wanted to do some construction and make a profit off small apartments.

Chil Sung is an idiot.

He's a complete moron.

Do you know how much money I lost starting that construction project?

I could have bought two houses with it.

That's why I'm going to bring them all back.

Didn't you know all this when you started it?

Right. I wanted to take care of them because of Kwang Chul.

But he's too stupid.

In Ae, you're smart.

Why don't you work for me in Seoul and take Kwang Chul's place?

Don't worry about your college tuition.

It's like you've been waiting for me to get released from juvenile hall.

Ammunition is the problem.

Ammunition?

Yeah.

You're really quick. I knew I saw something in you.

You're the one who will become Al Pacino.

In Ae, don't worry about the money.

Use your mind.

The construction business...

is a mental struggle.

I heard Kwang Hoon is assisting a top-ranking general.

Construction requires intelligence information, got it?

A lackey doesn't have intelligence information.

Hey, don't you know this is the era of military power?

You know that.

Alright.

Oh, yeah.

Do you know where the former police chief is?

In Ae.

You're smart.

The world hasn't changed.

Let's take our time getting revenge.

What will we gain from strangling the likes of the police chief?

First, success.

Later, revenge.

Understand?

I'm assisting officer Han Kwan Hoon.

You're the most handsome assisting officer so far.

Let's go to the squid restaurant in Moogaedong.

Be careful. The live squid will come out of your nose.

Try not to throw up.

You never know.

You might become the son-in-law of the future President.

What?

My father's dream is to become President.

President.

You little wench.

You little wench.

We buy you a house and send you money to study abroad. Why do you keep coming home?

I came because I wanted to eat squid.

Oh, my goodness.

My queen.

Please accept me.

What's wrong with your voice?

My queen.

Studying opera is impossible with this ugly voice.

What's wrong with you?

I have acid reflux from stress, my queen.

My vocal cords are completely damaged.

Your dream of me becoming Maria Callas has disappeared.

Oh, my goodness.

You were bored by violin, so you switched to piano.

You had no talent for piano, so you wanted to learn opera, remember?

You left out the cello.

It's a sickness.

Her sickness has come back.

I'm afraid.

Good work.

Yes.

Piano, violin, cello and opera aren't right for me.

The only talent I was born with...

is eating live squid.

Rest.

Han Kwang Hoon.

I have one more talent.

When I like a man, I memorize his name.

Oh, I have one more talent.

I know how to read faces.

Han Kwang Hoon, you're ambitious.

You must have tried hard to win my father's favor.

Keep my voice a secret.

In Ae.

You're here.

We have to go to City Hall first.

Those government workers are plotting to steal money.

We steal from them, they steal from us. That's life.

Do you have the documents Mi Sook prepared?

Right here.

You said she worked for a bit at a tax office. Han Mi Sook is an expert.

She learned by looking over people's shoulders.

She said to review the marked areas.

I know.

You have another nosebleed.

Are you okay?

- Here. - Thanks.

You're going to lose all your blood before you get into college.

Take it easy, In Ae.

Yes.

Right there.

If you see the marked areas in red, the calculations don't add up.

All of the wrongdoing shows up there.

What?

Hey.

Where do you think this is?

Forced tax collection, forced debt collection...

bribery, kickbacks, false judgments and take away subsidies.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Shut your mouth.

Where do you think this is?

Go and...

...bring your boss.

Despite my appearance, I'm the boss.

I'm not just a boss in title.

I was going to go straight to auditing, but stopped by out of courtesy.

Get back to work.

Hey, hey, hey.

Alright.

I get it, so sit.

Let's sit down and talk.

Hey.

If...

you want to sell real estate in the future...

you can't mess around like this.

Got it?

I know.

I heard you're using gangsters to demolish well-built houses.

Hey!

Hey, government worker ahjussi!

Besides this, there is a barrel full of your inconsistencies.

- Hey, hey. - Hey, come here.

Come here.

Your stomach...

will explode, government ahjussi.

Well...

At any rate...

Besides you...

your superior...

...is the investor.

Bring that person with you.

I don't know if you know him.

My boss is known even by the Japanese yakuza.

His name is Yang San Bak of Busan.

Yang San Bak?

Yeah.

There.

What happened?

Will the city stop construction?

There's no way.

They're going to increase the payment to the farmers who sold us the land.

Keep a close eye on security tonight.

The gangsters might come here.

They won't lose easily.

Okay, let's go.

1652 plus 2000 equals 3652.

In Ae.

How did it go?

Mi Sook.

You learned well looking over people's shoulders.

It worked well.

I learned so well I got sent to juvenile hall.

If they force us to pay additional taxes, we won't make a profit.

Thank goodness you were released in time.

- We won't go down. - Yeah.

Tonight the gangsters might come so leave this place.

Alright.

Oh, yeah.

Someone came looking for you.

International Movie Production?

Mi Sook.

Does a movie production company have anything to steal from a construction business?

I don't know.

He said it was really hard to find you.

Tell him I have no business with a movie director.

I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

A part-time job.

A meeting of generals.

Jeez...

We take the government car to restaurants and dress shops.

Even if it's a military era.

Be quiet.

Assisting officer Han Kwang Hoon.

Change out of your uniform.

How embarrassing.

It's Father's birthday party, not mine. Why do I need a new dress?

We want to pick out your future husband, that's why.

The Prime Minister and his wife are coming, too.

My queen, do you have your eyes set on the Prime Minister's son?

My queen, you know how high his son's standards are.

Raise your standards, too.

You have the right to.

Anyway...

pay special attention to the Prime Minster and his wife.

If Father gets another star, will he have two now?

Three star.

He's a three-star general.

You don't even know how many stars your father has?

There are so many stars in the sky...

There you go again.

If you use that ugly voice at the party,

I'll disown you.

You stubborn ox.

Your stubbornness!

I told you not to come. Why are you here?

Everyone.

Let's set the food out.

Yes, sir.

Follow me.

Yes, sir.

Hey!

In Ae.

Thank you for your hard work.

I hear you're from Shinsung Hotel.

Yes, Madam.

We sincerely congratulate the General's promotion.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What? Do you recognize someone?

No.

What's going on?

Why?

Did you see In Ae?

Why is In Ae here?

I told her there was a big party and she said she wanted to work.

I thought she was kidding.

Who can deal with her stubbornness?

What's going on?

I'm working part-time.

You shouldn't be here.

Why not?

Are you worried about this family's princess?

By chance...

You think I'd come here out of jealousy?

I thought I might meet the enemy since it's a party for generals.

Misunderstanding prohibited.

Take care of the princess.

- Congratulations. - She's your daughter.

- Assisting officer. - Yes, sir.

This way, please.

- Professor Kim. - Congratulations.

Thank you.

Hello.

Here comes the Prime Minister.

Please come in.

Welcome, Prime Minister.

Congratulations.

Thank you for coming to this lowly event, it's an honor.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Hello.

Madam Min.

You're ravishing as always.

Not even my husband has earned three stars.

I sincerely congratulate you, General Chun.

It's all due to the Prime Minster's encouragement.

Nice to see you, Hye Jin.

Yes, ahjussi.

You look healthier.

Yes.

I'll escort you.

Come.

A toast from the Prime Minister who has graced this lowly event with his presence.

This is a family event.

A military family event.

The key member of the white horse unit.

The warrior who received the Hwarang, Choongmoo and Urji medals of honors.

Heaven's soldier.

Let's congratulate General Chun's promotion.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Would you like more wine?

No, thank you.

The strategists ordered it.

Let's have another glass.

Excuse me.

You look familiar.

Where have I seen you?

I think I've seen you somewhere.

Hold on.

I've definitely seen you before.

On TV?

Were you in the youth documentary?

How did you get here?

It's a part-time job.

You stubborn ox.

What kind of trouble would you get yourself into?

Where do you think this is?

What?

What? What?

The enemy isn't far away.

What?

What does that mean?

If anyone asks about me...

say I'm your daughter.

What?

Why don't you stay until the end?

The man sitting behind the Prime Minister's wife...

find out exactly what he's up to, oppa.

What?

The man with the ring.

It's him.

The man who came to ahjussi's boat that day.

In Ae.

You...

Be careful what you say.

I know, oppa?

My heart is racing, it feels like it will explode.

But...

there's no doubt it's him.

Just a moment, see me for a minute.

I don't mean to be rude, but what's your relationship with Han Kwang Hoon?

You seem to know him well.

I guess you know you're being rude.

Why did you come to my house?

Why did you come to my house?

On a part-time job.

Part-time job?

We don't let just anyone work at our house.

Did Han Kwang Hoon ask you to come?

No.

No?

It didn't seem like it.

Someone wanted me to find out.

About me?

Yes.

Sorry...

but this is a secret event.

You're not part of Shinsung Hotel catering, right?

Am I right?

It seemed like Han Kwang Hoon knew you well.

Forget it.

I'll ask Han Kwang Hoon for the answer.

Go ahead.

The Prime Minister and his wife came to congratulate you.

But the Chief of Staff ignored our invitation with the excuse of attending to the President.

He's very good at creating distance with the President.

The President called, so that's enough.

It's the National Intelligence era.

Secret alliances are important.

The car is ready.

You're good-looking and General Chun treats you like a son.

You're very fortunate.

Good-bye.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good-bye.

The master of intelligence never uses a driver.

He's shrewd.

Let's go.

The part-time worker was a former juvenile delinquent?

Someone who works in National Intelligence recognized her.

Ahjumma.

I told you...

not just anyone can enter this house.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry, Madam.

Whether she's your daughter or niece,

it's not permitted.

You've made a big mistake.

Is she a criminal?

I heard she was in a juvenile detention center documentary.

She was charismatic.

Won't you tell me your relationship with her?

I want to know.

The criminal is in love with you, isn't she?

That's why she followed you here, right?

Wow, amazing.

Kwang Chul!

Stop the car!

It's dangerous, Kwang Chul.

Stop the car!

In Ae.

I think I'm going to quit my job as that family's housekeeper.

Are you a spy or something?

It's so unfair and degrading.

Why did you have to humiliate yourself by filming that documentary?

This is just the beginning.

Right.

Everything is degrading.

You're their housekeeper and Kwang Hoon is their lackey and errand boy.

It's unbelievable to see him carrying shopping bags.

I hear all assisting officers do that kind of work.

I heard someone's assisting officer helps in the kitchen.

Errand boy or kitchen boy, same thing.

Why did you show up there?

Why?

I gained something there.

I met the man who killed Kwang Chul and his father.

What was that?

What is that nonsense?

Shh!

It's...

just my feeling, so keep it quiet.

In Ae.

It's me. Come out.

Kwang Hoon's here. Go.

I don't want to see him.

Errand boy.

Ugh, that temper.

In Ae.

Hurry up and come out.

I don't have time. Hurry.

Go inside.

She's in a bad mood.

What?

You don't even have time to untie your shoelaces. Why did you rush over?

Why are you so anxious?

Why did you show up there with no warning?

Do I need to give advance warning to that house?

What's your relationship with that princess that she asked me about us?

You shouldn't have come there.

What does that man do for a living?

His name is Park Young Tae and he used to work in the National Intelligence Service.

He was in the National Intelligence Service ever since the military took over the government.

So?

What are you going to do with that information?

What do you mean?

Oppa, he's the enemy who killed Kwang Chul and your father.

Enemy?

Do you determine your enemy based on your hunch?

I'm positive. It's him.

By trying to get revenge,

you might die first.

Without anyone knowing.

I guess he is part of National Intelligence since you're afraid?

He recognized you!

I recognized him first.

He's the one who came to the boat in the Jeep. I'm positive!

Forget it.

It doesn't matter if it's him or not.

Don't act rashly. Forget it.

For everyone's survival.

He's the one who killed Kwang Chul and your father.

I'm positive.

Are you stupid?

Do you believe you'll live forever?

So, you don't care if he's the killer?

I don't.

I think of Father more than you do.

I think of Kwang Chul more than you do.

More than you! I want to get revenge!

More than you...

I will cruelly avenge them.

So, don't mess things up for me.

Got it?

You have your own plans, oppa?

Are you going to manipulate that family's princess?

Then I wholeheartedly approve.

I'll step aside countless times not to become an obstacle.

Talk, talk, talk, talk! Be careful what you say.

Words can bring death.

Don't talk openly.

Just be quiet and study.

Think about getting into college.

Even if it drives you crazy, just play dumb and dead.

This kind of thing...

don't go boldly looking for them.

Stop it.

Stop!

I understand what you mean. I can do it myself.

I'm going to avenge Kwang Chul and the Captain's deaths.

If it's really him...

we have be more careful.

I told you I saw him with my own eyes.

Shouldn't you at least act surprised?

What are you thinking, oppa?

People like us...

can't even compete with him.

We might die...

without anyone knowing.

I wanted to tell you that.

Please don't think about it.

Just study.

Study.

Listen to me.

I'm leaving.

Since when? Since when?

Since when did we become so different in our thoughts, speech, and will?

Are you so afraid of dying?

Coward, you coward!

Errand boy! Errand boy!

Idiot.

Idiot.

Moron, idiot!

Moron.

In Ae.

Are you mad because you misunderstood Kwang Hoon?

Kwang Hoon only loves you.

I know that, In Ae.

Father!

I'm number one!

Hey.

Don't mess around.

I'm going easy on you.

Do you want to die?

Finally, Seo In Ae is losing.

Kwang Chul, wait.

I'll avenge you.

Wait, Kwang Chul.

Smells like alcohol.

They're all drunk.

What the?

What the heck?

Are you having fun?

You drank instead of going on night patrol?

At a remote cabaret...

Hyo Ri was singing, so we went to encourage her.

If you don't study, you'll do physical labor forever.

Chil Sung and Ji Tae, study at construction school.

Yong Bum...

Go to real estate school.

Real estate school? What's that?

Real estate, real estate.

You're so ignorant.

Right, In Ae?

Don't grandfathers do that kind of work?

No, no.

It's young guys like you now.

Their clients are rich ahjummas.

Really?

I'll just be a heavy equipment driver.

Want to get hurt?

Alright.

But the tuition will be high.

As for studying...

our smart boss should be the one.

Just eat two meals a day.

Mi Sook, study for the CPA test.

Hyo Ri...

Study music instead of doing odd jobs.

Excuse me.

You're here.

In Ae, it's the movie director who wants to meet you.

- What? - Movie director?

Wow...

I'd recognize you anywhere.

Seo In Ae?

Yes.

I enjoyed your documentary, The Flowers of Hope.

I...

am this kind of person.

I'm this kind of person.

Wow, In Ae.

Wow!

The hope flower was blooming at a construction site.

Let's see your profile.

Um, you should be careful.

Wow!

Director Im has a good eye.

The left profile is much better than the right.

I knew it.

I told you to be careful.

That must really hurt.

Blow on the wound.

Miss.

Why are you skimming the script so carelessly?

It's a masterpiece.

It is.

As a crappy story.

It's a masterpiece.

It's a classic.

It seems like you copied Tess.

A total plagiarism.

Do you know Tess?

I'm Seo In Ae.

Look here, Seo In Ae.

It's the Korean version of Tess.

If you get chosen as the lead role, your life will change overnight.

You should know that.

Thanks.

Jeez.

Jeez.

This man is the biggest investor in movie theater chains in our nation.

This is the nation's most famous director, Im Yoon Taek.

I'm the assistant director.

Do you see her eyes, Director?

She's got such a bad temper. It was hard getting her to come.

Director Im.

Her face is pleasing to the eye.

But...

won't the documentary be an obstacle?

Our goal is to find a pure new star.

A juvenile delinquent image.

I don't think it's right.

President.

She was in a juvenile detention center.

It doesn't matter.

Let's...

do a camera test immediately.

Assistant director.

Director Im has a good eye.

Give it a shot, so he won't regret it.

Yes, sir.

Your fate has changed, miss.

Your fate is now in my hands.

Why is my fate in your hands, Little Director?

What?

Little Director?

That's what you called yourself.

What the heck?

Look here, miss.

Where?

A juvenile delinquent is scary.

What did I do?

You're the one who came because you wanted to be the lead.

Director Im likes you, so we're going to do a camera test.

I don't want to do any tests.

I won't do it.

Doesn't the movie industry have any etiquette?

Director.

Are you really the most famous director in our country?

Hey, hey. How dare you?

You can't speak to him that way.

Now, now.

I came here because it's on the way to my tutoring center.

And I came to let you know that your scenario sucks.

As for a movie star...

find someone who's not a juvenile delinquent.

I'll get going first.

Hey, wait.

Hey!

Leave her, Assistant Director.

Today's not the day.

What kind of arrogant monster is that?

Good riddance!

She doesn't fit Tess's image.

No wonder she's a juvenile delinquent. She's mean.

Right, Director Im?

I feel like I've found a gem.

What?

If you polish a gem just right...

our project...

will benefit from having a good actress.

Thieves broke in...

Thieves broke in...

during the night...

during the night...

Break out...

Break out...

...suddenly happened.

...suddenly happened.

We're departing.

I thought I was going to miss you.

Your exam is coming up.

I brought exam prep materials.

Wrap up your studies with this. You'll feel more confident.

Did you come just to give me this?

Yeah.

You came because you're sorry for ripping the newspaper, right?

Yeah, you brat.

I hear you're listening to me and studying hard.

Thanks.

I brought sweet red bean bread...

...and milk.

Let's go talk up there. I don't have time.

Here.

Here you go.

Do you remember, oppa?

Father Stefano bought me the Tess in English.

I read it looking up words in the dictionary because I didn't want to lose to you.

We exchanged books.

Wrong.

We exchanged books after Wuthering Heights.

Did we?

I don't want to live like Tess.

What do you mean?

There's director who wants me to star in a Korean version of Tess.

So he says.

What?

What?

Who?

Who says such an absurd thing?

The movie producers came to see me after seeing the documentary.

He's a con artist. They all are.

Just know that.

What movie?

Not just anyone can do that.

Don't give them the time of day, lots of con artists call themselves directors.

Don't you dare.

This is the result of you doing that documentary without discussing with me.

They're looking down on you because you're a juvenile delinquent.

Really, oppa?

It's undoubtable.

Don't sell your face so cheaply again.

I'm telling you now, but...

it hurt me so much to see that documentary.

Half of your face...

...belongs to me.

I know it's all my fault, but still.

Ugh, forget it. It's all in the past.

Really?

I didn't think you'd think that way.

Do I always have to say it for you to know?

If I'm a babbling creek,

you're the vast sea.

So, listen well.

Okay?

Okay.

But oppa...

I get scared now and then.

Will we stay together...

and see each other for a long time?

What do you mean "Will we?"

The general's daughter...

I have nightmares about her.

Ugh, annoying.

Dream better dreams.

Ow.

What?

Again? Hold on.

Put your head back.

A comet.

The same comet we saw when we went night fishing.

Hold on.

The stars in the sky are so beautiful.

The stars on earth are disgusting.

How long will you be a lackey to those disgusting stars?

Will it ever end?

It will.

When?

When I get discharged.

Promise me, oppa.

What's that?

I promise.

Year 1983, Fukuoka, Japan.

Hiro Yoshida.

Risk your life.

Your opponent is a killer fighting champion in Japan.

Izushika Yoshida.

Whatever.

What am I worth?

Boss.

He's asking how much his life is worth.

Don't worry.

I have it ready here.

Sarah?

You want me to engrave it with "Sarah?"

Right?

If you take down the killer fighting champion,

I'll let you manage the Fukuoka pachinko gambling.

Forget this necklace. You'll be able to buy whatever you want.

But Izushika Yoshi is the killer fighting champion.

If you die, where should we send your body?

Any last words before you die?

The one who will die today...

...is not me.

It's Izushika Yoshida.

Masato.

Right, I'm the champion Masato.

Champion?

That guy is the champion now.

Wrong.

You broke your promise.

He's not fit to be my opponent.

Really?

You think that Korean bastard...

took me down with his skills?

The champion of champions, Masato?

If you think he lacks skills...

...bet your money.

Bet all your money on Izushika Yoshida.

Hiro Yoshida?

I can't walk on the same earth as him.

I'll eliminate him.

Kill him!

Yes, sir.

You're a monster, Hiro Yoshi.

Sarah is a lucky woman.

Where are you going?

Going to work.

Hiro Yoshi.

You can celebrate your victory tonight.

You can take the night off.

Victory?

You can have it.

No alcohol.

You remembered I have an alcohol allergy?

But you got injured again?

It hurts me.

Did you know?

She always comes to panchinko to see you.

Here's a bandage. Put it on your injury.

Are you working at pachinko tomorrow morning?

Hiro Yoshi.

Today is your last day.

Let's go.

How well do you know Park Young Tae?

You have to be in Kingmaker's favor if you have interest in the throne.

You become king if he picks you.

Is the plan for the next king going well?

I'm going somewhere. It's top-secret.

I saw him leaving here.

He's a man in his twenties.

Please confirm.

Seo In Ae.

Were you with her all night?

I won't give up.

Do you know my mother's nickname? Iron butterfly.

Butterfly?

Iron butterfly.

In Ae, say hello.

She's the Prime Minister's wife.
