ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
PLACES, CASES, AND EVENTS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

I'm so happy.

I wish we could be like this forever.

Nothing bad will happen ever again.

I promise.

Jeong-guk is a con artist.

Kim Mi-young and your entire family
are being fooled by Jeong-guk.

You don't believe me,

do you?

You say my sister's husband
is a con artist.

Who would believe that so easily?

It's not like you have solid evidence.

Evidence?

You must like evidence.

Fine.

I'll show you something
better than evidence.

Bring him in.

It's so dry.

Our general manager of Debt Collections
is Mr. Choi.

Mr. Choi Pil-ju.

His specialty is finding people

who go into hiding
after borrowing money from us.

This time, he went to...

Panama?

Somewhere like that.

He used the corporate card
to buy the ticket

and flew business. That louse.

Well, regardless, he did find her.

So I didn't complain too much.

When he gets here,

pat him on the back for a job well done.

It won't hurt you to do that.

He's here.

A witness is much better than evidence.

A living witness...

that talks.

Now,

do you like my answer,

our dear candidate?

That's all I can tell you.

You may go if you're done talking.

Mr. Choi.

Get her a hotel room.
And keep an eye on her.

Yes, ma'am.

Move it. Stop dawdling.

You damn con artist.

I think that's enough for us
to trust each other now.

Shall we talk business now?

If I give you Jeong-guk's 15 percent,

it'll be 43 versus 39.

You'll beat Kang Su-il by four percent.

However, we need more than that
to be safe.

It's just a survey.

So it can fluctuate
by four percent easily.

It'll be up to me from now on.

No.

It'll be up to us.

We're in it together.

I wouldn't make you do all the work.

I wouldn't want to exploit you
like I was some gangster.

Let's take down Kang Su-il
with one powerful blow.

-Get home safely, sir.
-Okay.

He has 39 percent approval ratings.

Kang Su-il, the leading candidate
according to the polls,

drives under the influence of alcohol
like he did in 2002 and 2007.

One of the most deep-rooted beliefs
in this country

is that people don't change,
old habits die hard,

and things like that.

"Gosh, Kang Su-il.
You still haven't kicked

your bad drinking habit."

That's so noisy.

Can't we go quietly?

Quietly.

I said let's go quietly.

Where did he go?

Who's honking?

What's going on?

Move your car, idiot!

What are you doing, you bastard?

Are you drunk?

-Oh, my God.
-Get moving already!

Get moving! Where are you going?

Excuse me!

What are you doing?

You bastard!

-Hey!
-Excuse me.

-What are you doing?
-Well...

-Were you drinking?
-No. I...

You bastard!

You son of a bitch!

No, that's not it.

Next on the news.

Minjin Party's candidate
for the National Assembly,

Kang Su-il, has been arrested
for driving under the influence.

According to the police,

Kang Su-il drove
after drinking and was caught

at a DUI stop point near Seowon Park
around 10:55 p.m. last night.

Kang's blood alcohol level
at the time was 0.089 percent,

which is high enough to lose his license.

Let's have a press conference.

Let's put an end...

to this wretched election.

KANG SU-IL SHOULD WITHDRAW HIS CANDIDACY

Hello.

I'm the candidate for the National Party,

Han Sang-jin.

When I heard about Kang Su-il's DUI

this morning,

I was uncontrollably distressed.

This incident severely
damaged the reputation

of the people of Seowon.

So I will not stand idly by.

SPONSOR ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

-Here. This one.
-Okay.

NUMBER 2, HAN SANG-JIN

Hey. How much percent did Kang Su-il lose?

Twenty percent?

Nice.

I'd like to say this

to Mr. Kang Su-il right now.

If you have any shame,

withdraw your candidacy immediately

and apologize to the people of Seowon.

Yes. Exactly how much?

About five percent more?

It's 33 versus 19?

We're leading.

Yes.

Okay, sure. Check it every minute.

Okay!

I urge you once again, Mr. Kang Su-il.

Please...

withdraw.

Only your withdrawal

will fix this situation

and salvage what's left of the pride

of Seowon residents. That is how I feel.

REQUEST FOR KANG SU-IL
TO WITHDRAW HIS CANDIDACY

That is all.

REQUEST FOR KANG SU-IL
TO WITHDRAW HIS CANDIDACY

You set that up?

Still,

would we get Kang Su-il's votes?

I think

we'll just end up helping Han Sang-jin.

You hit it.

You owe me 30,000 won.

Why? I hit three cushions
before I hit your ball.

It's a house rule. You can't hit it
even after hitting three cushions.

So, 30,000 won.

Seriously. Rich people are even worse.

I'm playing this boring four-ball
because of you.

So stop whining.

I'm going to drop Jeong-guk now,

just so you know.

What do you mean?

I'm going to have Jeong-guk
withdraw his candidacy.

And before he withdraws,

he needs to say he supports Han Sang-jin.

If you get him to say that,
your part is done.

You can go home and play with your baby.

Change some diapers too.

Are you saying you'll give
Jeong-guk's votes to Han Sang-jin?

Out of the blue? Why?

It's not out of the blue.

That was my plan from the get-go.

You said so yourself,

that it's impossible to make
a con artist an assemblyman.

Step aside.

I don't think this is right.

You're angry, aren't you?

Because I didn't tell you earlier.

No, I'm not talking about me.

I don't think it's right
to do that to Jeong-guk.

That's way too inconsiderate.

Why is it inconsiderate?

I forced him to run against his will.

That's not the case anymore, that's why.

It was against his will before,

but he's giving his all now.

Whether he gives his all

or loses all is none of my concern.

It's none of your concern either.

The National Party said
they would send you someone.

They would? To me? Why?

I learned it by chance,
so I don't know either.

I'm sure you'll know
once you meet the person.

Everyone is going back

to where they started.

Me, Jeong-guk,

and you.

I almost hit it.

Your turn.

A traveling civil complaint service?

-Yes.
-By visiting every person?

-Yes.
-Is that necessary?

We're already doing,
"Tell Yang Jeong-guk Your Wish."

And Assemblyman Kim says
I need to show my face as much

as possible right before the election.

He said I'll need to be everywhere
as if I can teleport.

Babe, this is what I think.

It isn't important for people to know us.

It's important for us to know the people.

Some people lack the courage
to come and speak up.

We can't abandon those people.

They're citizens just like everyone else.

Are you ready?

TRAVELING CIVIL COMPLAINT SERVICE

The water is rusty
in our entire complex for days now.

Their water has been rusty for days.
That's wrong.

When will you fix it?

When will you begin
construction on the pipes?

I'm sorry, but there isn't enough money
in the city budget.

There isn't enough again?

Why is your budget always not enough?

Next to my house is
this construction site.

And there's so much dust because of it,
so we can't open our windows.

Excuse me. Hey, you!

Spray water when you work.
You're getting dust everywhere!

Spray water right now.
I'm a cop. I'll arrest you.

I wish there were a crosswalk out front.

That zone is prone to accidents.

Why are you complaining about the budget
again? It's just a crosswalk!

When will the budget actually be enough?

What day, what time...

Forget it. I'll paint it myself.

This is how you do it, right?

I went to Harvard.

-Wow.
-You and I went to the same school.

-Really?
-Yes.

You must know Professor George Powell.

Of course. He's still so strong.

-Gosh.
-So you went to Harvard.

What are you doing?
Why aren't you campaigning?

Hello, sir.

I came to see you. Should we get lunch?

Who eats pork belly for lunch?

You should eat pork belly
for lunch to look cool.

You look even cooler

if you have it with soju.

This is the privilege
of being a part-timer.

You like privileges way too much.

Why are you here?

What do you think?

I was sent by the party to bring you
great news. That's why I'm here.

What great news
would your party have for me?

It hasn't even been that long since
you left and it's "your party" already?

I didn't leave. I was kicked out!
Say it correctly.

Either way, the National Party
is your home. Am I wrong?

Home, my foot.

Regardless,

don't you think it's time to come home?

You could build yourself
a town hall there.

What?

If you decide to do what I ask
for the greater good,

I will place you on the throne.

What do you say? You know me well.

You know I have quite an influence
within the party.

Who at my age can win three terms
these days?

Except me.

I've been wanting
to say this to you for a while.

-What is it?
-You're all fluff.

You brag about yourself
every time you talk.

Even now.

You were telling me to do something
for the greater good,

then suddenly you started bragging
about yourself.

That's how it works now.

You have to sell yourself.

Look. You don't know
how things work anymore.

Go with the flow.

Anyway, let me continue.

Just get to the point already.

What do you need me to do for you?

Dump Yang Jeong-guk.

And take Han Sang-jin's side.

Sang-jin's ratings went up a little

because Kang Su-il messed up,

but Sang-jin wasted his time just as much.

Although Su-il lost 20 percent in ratings,

Sang-jin only gained 5 percent.

It's obvious that the tables
may flip at any point.

So you're saying,

you want Sang-jin to get Jeong-guk's votes

to finish this election soon, right?

Exactly. I knew you'd understand.

-Management majors--
-Economics, you idiot!

Regardless. Management,
economics, whatever!

Why should I do that, though?

Why should I help your party?

Our party needs to survive

in order for you to survive.

Give me a break.

Do you know what the committee decided?

If you bring Jeong-guk's votes
and help Sang-jin,

you'll be readmitted into the party.

-Go.
-And next year,

Sang-jin will switch over
to proportional representation.

-Go again.
-And you'll run again

for the Seowon district. Your third term.

What do you say? Sounds good, right?

Yes, right? You feel me, right?

This was my idea.

I was taking out my recycling,

and I felt the urge to give you a present.

-Can I trust you?
-Of course, you can.

-You're not playing me?
-Definitely not.

To put it simply,

all you have to do is dump Yang Jeong-guk.

We need to do the dance
in Injung-dong too,

so please get ready for it.

-I've done it before.
-In Harvard? Okay.

Nice.

Strike Jeong-guk and take Sang-jin's hand.

Then you'll be revived right away.

Your...

political life will be renewed.

Assemblyman, what's wrong?

Do you feel sick?

No.

My lunch didn't agree with me
or something.

You must have indigestion.
Do you need medicine?

No, it's fine.

Anyway, you should take it easy.

-Why are you working...
-Hold on.

It's Chairman Park.

Hi, Chairman Park.

Now?

Sure. See you there.

Chairman Park wants
to have dinner together.

I guess she has something to say.

I guess. I'll be back soon.

We need to campaign more when I get back.

You should go home and rest
if you don't feel well.

You look terrible.

The campaign is important,
but so is your health.

Jeong-guk.

You've...

You've done...

well until now.

Why are you saying that already?

We still have a long way to go.

See you later.

What's wrong with eating together?

-I can buy lunch once.
-You're so mean.

-Hey.
-Yes?

You hit me on purpose, didn't you?

Yes.

My goodness.

Gosh.

Sorry. Why did you suddenly stand, punk?

What do I do?

-Hey.
-What?

Will you keep this up?

Of course, I'll keep doing this.

Think about what you did
to our lieutenant.

This tastes good. Eat it.

Hyeon-cheol, I got hit.

You did?

You rotten bastard. How dare you hit him?

Hey. That's great.

-Good.
-Hey...

You jerk!

-Stop it!
-What's going on here?

Stop it!

Was that revenge?

-It was loyalty.
-Give me a break.

That scumbag Jang...

I mean, that jerk is why our lieutenant
got suspended.

We felt we needed to do something.

You're so loyal,

but you have no guts.

Is that why you pulled that trick?

To make him throw the first punch?

Lieutenant Kim said not to cause trouble
until she comes back...

We're sorry.

I'm sorry.

-Who is he?
-He is an officer on our team.

Did you call Myeong-sik?

Yes.

We're on the same team.
So we should get scolded together.

The same team, my ass.

And yet, you took the money by yourself.

What do you mean?

That's enough. Silence.

Everyone but Hyeon-cheol, get out.

Pardon?

Hyeon-cheol?

Yes, ma'am.

Say something stupid, and I'll kill you.

-What? Like what?
-You...

I said to get out! Now!

I don't even want to look at you!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Okay. Go.

Salute.

Gosh.

Gu Hyeon-cheol.

Can I trust you?

Why won't you answer me?

Can I trust you?

I think it's meaningless
for me to say you can trust me.

If you trust me, trust me.

But if you're not sure about trusting me,

give it to someone else.
That's only right. That is all.

There's a punk

who was arrested for running a con
in 2001 and spent two years in prison.

I need you to dig into his life.

Yes, ma'am.

Find out where he lives,

what he does, and everything.

What is that con artist's name?

Yang Si-cheol.

That's his name.

Why did you want to meet
at a place like this?

This place looks crazy expensive.

Is that why it's empty?

It's empty because I rented it out.

You saw that in dramas and stuff.

For real?

You rented out this entire restaurant?

Why?

Let's talk about that slowly over dinner.

We'll have two of my usual.

You must come here often.

Seeing how you ask for "the usual."

No. It's my second time in five years.

Five years?

Then why did you ask for your usual?

You have to ask for your usual

at places like these
so they don't disrespect you.

Look. The entire menu is in English,
although we're in Korea.

What? They even put the drinks in English.

Those jerks don't want us
to understand any of it.

Waiter! I'll have my usual drink, too.

How's the campaign going?

Yes. It's fun.

I'm doing it anyway.
I might as well enjoy it.

I hear you and Mi-young
are working well together.

Yes. She says it's fun,
now that she got into it.

She likes meeting people too.

-That's good.
-But the best part is...

This is a bit embarrassing, but...

Being with me...

Going here and there with you.

I know it's just around the neighborhood.

Spending the entire day with you,

seeing each other, laughing together,

eating together, and things like that.

The fact that I can spend
everyday with you

makes me so happy.

It reminded me
of when we were dating, too.

That's what she said.

I feel the same, too.

That's why we decided

to forget the past
until the election is over.

We decided to laugh

and enjoy ourselves
until the election's over.

And forget the hardships
for the time being.

If I were true to myself,
I would've said what I wanted to,

showered, and been in bed by now.

But I can't do that today.

It's somehow difficult and uncomfortable
to bring this up.

Why? What do you want to say to me?

It's so unlike you.

Right?

Being considerate and stuff
is unlike me, right?

Considerate?

Did you...

Did you just say, "considerate"?

Yes. Fine.

Yes, it's funny.

I find it funny too,
now that I think about it.

You made me burst out laughing.

A person shouldn't try to change.

I'm crying. I need a tissue.

Okay, then.

I'll just be me then. Listen up.

Jeong-guk.

Withdraw from the election now.

You want me to quit the election?

Correct.

Stop it.

Why all of a sudden?

I never planned to keep you
in the race for long.

Announce you support Han Sang-jin
and withdraw.

A con artist can't become an assemblyman.

That's what I said before,
in the bathhouse!

You didn't listen to me then, so why...

You said I could if I bought people brunch
instead of lunch,

and hand out scarves instead of towels.

Why are you so upset?

You've been trying really hard
to get out of it.

Even Mi-young is helping me now,
and you tell me to quit.

It's because Han Sang-jin agreed to do
what I was going to have you do.

So you can stop now.

Go back to where you came from.

Sang-jin agreed to do it?

He agreed to try to repeal
the Interest Rate Regulation Act?

Yes.

He acted like he was all pure
and innocent.

Now, he's teaming up with a loan shark?

Whatever the case may be,

I refuse to quit now.

I have too many people
helping out just for me.

No. It's too humiliating. I can't.

Plus, to be honest,
I'm more trustworthy than Sang-jin.

Trust me. Me.

He changes his position on a whim

because he's blinded by the desire
to win the election.

How could you trust him of all--

I trusted a con artist.
Why can't I trust him?

Your ratings won't go up any more.

No matter what you do,

you can't beat someone with a party.

The press conference is
at noon tomorrow. Withdraw your candidacy.

At noon tomorrow?

How could you do that
without consulting me?

Are you a gangster or what?

A gang...

If I were a gangster,

I wouldn't be talking to you here,

having expensive food and wine.

You conned my dad out of six billion won.

And you worked for me
for exactly four days shy of a month.

Consider it
the highest paid employment ever,

222,222,222 a day.

With this, we're even.

That's the best thing for you, too.

Who would vote for a con artist like you?

Stop saying that.

You're the one who made a con artist run.

Who are you to tell me to run,
and then to quit?

I'm saying that I can do it!

Trust me, will you?

There's something

I learned

while spending so much time with you.

It's that you never listen
if I say nicely.

I fed you expensive food,

but that hasn't changed.

Get up.

Let's get some fresh air.

I'm so hot right now.

Number Five, Yang Jeong-guk.

Please vote for him.

Number Five, Yang Jeong-guk.

You know, right?

You're so pretty.

Thank you.

Number Five, Yang Jeong-guk.

The Brave Citizen will bravely--

You're Yang Jeong-guk's wife, right?

I can't believe
I get to see you in person.

It's so nice to meet you.

Hello. It's nice to meet you as well.

The Brave Citizen
will bravely protect you.

Number Five, Yang Jeong-guk.

Yes, I'll definitely vote for him.

I'm his fan.

I adore you, too.

I can't believe I met you here.

What a coincidence.

Thank you.

Please vote for him.

Sit.

Nothing will happen.

I told her to just meet for today.

Whether they meet again or not,

and what she'll tell your wife

is all up to you.

Do you know your place now?

As long as I know your past,

you have no choice but to do as I say.

So stop being a stubborn mule
and making me lose my temper.

It's time for you to get to work.

The press conference at noon
announcing your withdrawal.

You can do it, right?

No.

You have to, right, Jeong-guk?

Right?

Jeong-guk agreed
to withdraw his candidacy tomorrow.

So all you have left to do now

is receive your Assemblyman's badge.

What did Jeong-guk say?

He wanted to fight to the end.

He did give me a load of crock,

but he has no choice
but to do as he's told.

I had to use Mi-young again.

What do you mean, you had to use Mi-young?

What do you think?

"If you don't obey me, I'll tell Mi-young

that you're a con artist." That's what.

That annoying jerk never listens
unless I go that far.

You know,

you should just tell Mi-young
that Jeong-guk is a con artist.

He's always talking about
"my Mi-young" this, "my Mi-young" that.

He thinks he owns
every Mi-young out there.

Once I'm done with this busy stuff,

I need to get myself
a boyfriend or something.

He's so annoying.

While we're on the topic,

what do you think
about just telling Mi-young now?

"Your husband is a con artist,
and you've been fooled all this time."

No, I don't think that's right.

No.

Let's let them resolve it themselves.

It may be the biggest pain
she ever suffers.

It hurts even more

if you find out through someone else.

If the truth won't make anyone happy,

I think it's only right to bury it.

My Mi-young has many scars...

already.

It's "my Mi-young" for you, too?

Mi-young is so lucky.

Everyone who used to call me "my Hoo-ja"
is all dead now.

Fine.

You can do as you wish about that.

Just remember this one thing.

Once you get Jeong-guk's votes tomorrow,

your rating will be 48 percent.

You know I own a significant share

in that 48 percent, don't you?

Assemblyman Han Sang-jin

is a creation of Park Hoo-ja.

Don't forget that, okay?

I'm exhausted.

I'm sure you are.

You worked hard.

You should go to sleep early too.

You have to campaign all day tomorrow too.

Right.

Go to sleep first. I'll...

I'll go to sleep soon too.

-Mi-young.
-Yes?

What if

I pull out...

of the election?

Why? Do you want to quit?

No, well...

Not exactly.

The election is drawing near.

So all these thoughts are flooding in.

Plus, it'll be hard to win
with my current rating anyway.

I'm fine with it.

Win or lose, you're my husband,
and the man I love.

I'm fine either way.

But babe.

Yes?

When I think about
all the people we've met...

When I think about them,

I don't think it's right to quit now.

Being unable to do it

because you lose
is different from quitting.

It's okay to be unable to do it,
but let's not quit.

We should show respect to the people
who believe in us and support us.

What do you mean, what happened?

It's not like I told him to quit.

He was going to quit
regardless of what I said.

Let's talk at home.

I'll pack my things and go home soon.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Why aren't you sleeping?

Assemblyman Kim.

So, Chairman Park told you, right?

Yes.

Given what it is,
let's look at it optimistically.

You never wanted to run
in the first place.

That is true.

Don't go around conning people anymore.

Your wife will catch you in the end
if you do that.

What?

Are you disappointed

that you have to quit now?

To be honest,

running for the Assembly
was the last thing I wanted.

But doing something I hated

actually made people happy.

Including Mi-young.

Since things turned out this way,
I'll be honest.

As you already know,

I'm a con artist.

Before I started this,
people smiled when I lied.

I'd show them the land registry map
of a worthless piece of land

and say it's a gold mine
that's about to be redeveloped.

They smiled when I fed them those lies.

I'd lie that a building
worth 500 million won

was worth 2 billion
and that I'd sell for a billion

only to them, telling them
that they lucked out.

Only when I lied like that,

people smiled at me.

But you know,

it was different when I was campaigning.

I told people how I honestly felt.

I told them exactly
what I thought and felt.

Thank you.

And people smiled at me.

Well,

it's all over now.

As Chairman Park said,

it's time for me to go back
to where I belong.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to trust you
and take it all the way,

but this is the situation now.

So?

What is the conclusion?

You wanted to stop lying and be honest

if you won the election?

No.

A useful person.

I want to become a useful person now.

Why did I have to come here for my things
and end up listening to this?

I thought I had toughened up by now.

What?

You want to become a useful person?

That's what I said
when I first ran for the Assembly.

But the punk who said that back then

is doing this useless thing here and now,

working for some loan shark.

This isn't right. Don't you agree?

Yang Jeong-guk, a candidate
for the Assembly for Seowon,

will begin his press conference shortly.

-Dad!
-With the by-election drawing near,

what will Candidate Yang Jeong-guk say?

All eyes are on him now.

Many people surmise that Yang Jeong-guk,

an independent candidate,
decided to withdraw from the fight

between Kang Su-il and Han Sang-jin.

The difference in the ratings

between Kang Su-il, who leads the polls,

and Han Sang-jin, who is in second,

is only eight percent.

If Yang Jeong-guk does in fact withdraw,

both candidates desperately need
his ten percent.

What do you plan to say today?

Why are you so diligent?

You weren't this diligent before.
Just wait.

What's the rush?

You'll find out in five minutes.

You won't gain anything
from finding out first.

Hi, Mi-young.

Hi. I'm watching TV right now.

Are you really announcing your withdrawal?

Is that what you decided to do?

He won't suddenly go back
on his word, will he?

No, he can't.

CANDIDATE YANG JEONG-GUK'S
PRESS CONFERENCE

Hello.

I'm Yang Jeong-guk, a candidate
for the National Assembly

for Seowon.

Before starting, I'd like to say
what I'd like to see in this election.

It may take a while,
so make yourselves comfortable.

Why are you stalling so darn much?

Yes! I hit it.

What I'd like to see
in this election is this.

Candidates not criticizing each other,

but fighting on policies for the people.

What is he talking about?
The election's almost over.

I hope it will be a time of true harmony,

during which candidates care for, respect,

and congratulate each other.

My father often said this to me.

"If you share the light from your candle,

there will be two lit candles."

Did I say that?

Isn't that song lyrics?

What are you talking about?
It's so moving.

-Just like what my father said,
-He's moving me now that he's quitting.

I hope every single candidate
in this by-election

becomes a candle

and lifts the darkness that settled deeply

in the political world.

I also hope they will always stand

by the voters.

So they don't feel

like they are alone.

I AM WITHDRAWING MY CANDIDACY AS OF TODAY

Thus, I, Yang Jeong-guk,

want to play a small part
in bringing harmony

to Seowon which I love.

What do you mean?

Kang Su-il withdrew? He just announced it?

-Change the channel.
-Okay.

Hello,

my fellow citizens
and residents of Seowon.

I am here to announce
that I am withdrawing

my candidacy for the National Assembly.

Yes!

When I look back,

it was difficult every step of the way.

I had to overcome

all sorts of difficult circumstances
during my campaign.

The warmth I felt

from those of you who held my hand

still warms my heart even now.

I hope

that my decision

will facilitate in bringing happiness

to the people of Seowon.

Hey. Do we even have to vote?

Let's get the certificate
that you won today.

Congrats.

We had some issues,
but we finally made it.

You won.

Whereas I withdraw from the election,

I will continue to hope
the people of Seowon

will be happy. That will not change.

My dear people of Seowon.

Now, I hope

you will respond to my sincerity.

I, Kang Su-il,

ask that you give

all the support you gave me

to the independent candidate
Yang Jeong-guk.

Please band together

to make sure Yang Jeong-guk

wins the election

so that we can achieve
what I failed to achieve.

This isn't right. Don't you agree?

Why should I do as Hoo-ja tells me to do?

If she sticks her flag in here,
I run here.

If she sticks her flag in there,
I run there.

Why must I be dragged around
like some buffoon?

Why should we, Jeong-guk?

Those National Party punks
are just as bad.

What do they take me for?

They were the ones who kicked me out.

Darn it.

Hey. Just do it.

Do what?

I have to quit.

Why would you quit?

You should at least do
one useful thing first

if that's what you decided.

Let's make you an assemblyman.

Let's take this all the way.

I appreciate the thought,

but there's no way for me

to win the election.

What did I say before?

Politicians think about the next election,

and great politicians
think about the next generation.

Do you think there is
a better politician than me in Korea?

No.

You're a con artist,

and I'm a politician.

There's only one thing we can do together.

Let's gamble.

Hey!

What gibberish is that?

You startled me.

Why do you say
everything I say is gibberish?

I mean it.

Han Sang-jin was the one behind your DUI.

You should've treated your aides better.

You deserved it.

Hey, Ju-myeong!

Are you here to taunt me?

Yes, I'm here to taunt you.

To make you lose your mind
and do something crazy.

My fellow citizens,

I, Kang Su-il,

beg of you once again.

The brave candidate
who bravely protects you!

Candidate Number Five, Yang Jeong-guk!

Please vote for Yang Jeong-guk!

Why should I do that?

Hey, Ju-myeong.

I'm not dead yet.

More than 15 percent of the people
want me. What nonsense is that?

Stop being an amateur, will you?

Times have changed.
You know it's not like how it used to be.

There's a video of you being arrested

and giving an attitude
to the cop circulating.

Even my wife saw it.

She said it put her
in a good mood all day.

Why you little...

Sit down.

Sit down.

Don't be like that, Su-il.

Let's stop here.

I heard your party abandoned you
after what happened.

I heard they won't support you.

You won't win anyway.

Given what it is,

shouldn't you throw mud on his face
before you leave?

You don't want that jerk who framed you

becoming an assemblyman either.

Damn it.

Hey. To be blunt,

it's because you lost to me,
that you were able to stay in the game.

If you lose to a rookie like Han Sang-jin,

your political career is over
right then and there!

Rather than letting a dirty rat
get elected,

let's support a crazy fool.

Let's send the crazy fool to the Assembly
and have him kicked out.

Then prepare hard for the next election.

You should beat me at least once.

You lost three times. That's humiliating.

LET'S DO WHAT YOU SAID

Let's do what you said.

CANDIDATE YANG JEONG-GUK'S
PRESS CONFERENCE

I plan to stay with you until the end.

You thought I'd give up, didn't you?

You all thought I'd quit, didn't you?

That's what you came here to hear, right?

Why would I quit?

Election Day is just around the corner.

I should at least see
how many votes I get.

What did you do that for?

-Whatever!
-Why did you waste food?

Why would I quit?

-For Han Sang-jin?
-Hoo-ja.

-I can't do that.
-This is huge.

No.

I'm watching right now.

No, not that.

Please vote for Yang Jeong-guk.

Not Number One,

not Number Two,

not Number Three,

not Number Four,

but Five. Candidate Number Five.

Please vote for Yang Jeong-guk.

What the hell is going on?

-Hello?
-Are you watching TV?

If Jeong-guk gets Kang Su-il's 19 percent,

he'll have 34,

and Han Sang-jin has 33.

Whose side will you take now,
Chairman Park?

Isn't the guy
with a one-point lead better?

Let's talk in person.

YANG JEONG-GUK
INDEPENDENT, NUMBER 5

Hi. I'm watching TV right now.

Are you really announcing your withdrawal?

Is that what you decided to do?

No.

I won't withdraw.

You said being unable to do it
because I lose

is different from not doing it
because I quit.

Being unable to do it is fine,

but I won't quit.
That's the least I can do.

I'm heading out now.

Let's begin campaigning.

I may be unable to do it because I lose,

but I won't quit because I give up.

I will keep the promise

I made to you.

Candidate Number Five,

an independent candidate Yang Jeong-guk.

Just one person!

As long as there's just one person
who supports me,

I will not quit.

I will fight until the end!

That is...

what I sincerely want,

my fellow citizens.

I checked the list of graduates...
He lied about his education!

She shouldn't hear
about her husband from someone else.

Hearing you threaten me
is firing up my competitive spirit.

The voting has almost ended.

I'm going to hold a press conference
about Jeong-guk.

Yang Jeong-guk is trailing very closely
behind Han Sang-jin.

-You can win!
-Are you sure?

We confirmed that
Yang Jeong-guk did not graduate

from Seoul National University.

Let's become an assemblyman.

Even someone like me can do it!
