ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
PLACES, AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL.

Here's the next news.

The National Election Commission

is worried the by-election
might get overheated

as each party supports their candidates
for the election.

Therefore, they formed a special team
to regulate candidates

from carrying out illegal campaigns.

Today, the spring breeze…

Here are some books for the candidates
from the National Election Commission.

You will be able
to feel the spring breeze…

I see.

So you didn't give me this

when I should've gotten one
as a candidate?

It's not that I didn't give it to you.
You made things so hectic.

How could you think
of bringing 50 recommenders

five minutes before the deadline?

What's wrong with that?

When you're in a rush to do something,
people tend to help you out.

Aren't you going to leave?

Do you have more to say?

No, right? Then please leave.

My gosh.

You're not running for office

just because I told you
about the 50 million won, right?

Yes, that's why.

The job that pays you 50 million won
for working 90 days per year.

You were the one who told me about it.

That's the job I've been looking for.

But this isn't a workplace.

It's a by-election,
so not many people will vote.

I'm targeting the niche market.

You remember what you told me, right?

You said
even the voters aren't interested.

Well, yes. The voters might not care.

But there are a lot of people
who wish to get elected.

The lower the turnout, the more favorable
for candidates from organizations.

"An organization"?

I have an organization of my own.

TEAM GANGWON, TEAM GYEONGGI

Jang Han-bi, the girl who always wins
and never gives up.

Say hello to our 200th Golden Bell ringer!

The girl who rang the Golden Bell.
Kwon U-yeong, the top student in our town.

Leave me out of it.
I'm not in her organization.

Well, anyway--

We're very much full of hope.

We can do this!

-Yes, we can!
-We can!

You're so reckless.
You haven't changed at all.

What did you just say?

I'm sorry,

but hope and potential
are two different things.

I bet you don't care though.

You bet I don't care.

MY BOYFRIEND

Who's this?

Koo Se-ra. Are you out of your mind?

Is the by-election a joke?

I told you to find a job,
not to fool around!

A joke? Am I crazy enough
to fool around with 2 million won?

Are you not running this time?

You were so loyal to Chairman Jo
that you lost everyone close to you,

and he really let you down.

You don't even have to wait
for someone to nominate you.

I just handed in the paperwork
and they put me on the candidate list.

Forget about it.

Instead of worrying about each other,
let's just worry about our own selves.

Goodbye.

Back him up.

We need someone with humble beginnings
to prepare for next year's local election.

I'd like you to support him
and campaign with him.

AEGUK CONSERVATIVE PARTY

If you get him elected,

I'll guarantee you a seat
on the Seoul city council.

The Seoul city council is

near Gwanghwamun Gate, right?

Rather than Gwanghwamun Gate,

I want a seat in Yeouido.

The National Assembly?

Very well. Get Oh Byeong-min elected,

and I promise to nominate you
for the next general election.

If this works out,

I will move to Yeouido,

and you can replace me
in Mawon-gu's district assembly.

Min-jae. Let's get
through one more project.

It's not too much for me, sir.

Print out the personal details

of all the candidates
running in this by-election.

Yes, sir.

VOTING IS THE ANSWER

REFORM POLITICS WITH
THE TOGETHER PROGRESSIVE PARTY

This isn't a press conference
for a mayoral campaign.

Why go all out for an environmentalist
running in a district by-election?

She's a new member of our party,
so we put out the red carpet.

She has connections
from her student movement days

and with the labor unions
at Mawon Industrial Complex.

We have nothing if not for blood
and educational ties.

Aren't people with such connections
the target of your party's reform?

There's so much to reform.

We should push and pull
each other and go together.

We're political comrades.

Partners in life.

I ran in the last regional election
as a nonpartisan candidate

and lost to Jo Maeng-duk
of the Aeguk Conservative Party.

This is my second attempt
at running for office.

With all my might,

I will approach

Mawon-gu's residents with a sincere heart.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE 5,
KOO SE-RA'S ELECTION CAMP

KOO SE-RA'S ELECTION PROJECT

WE HAVE COMIC BOOKS
AND ALSO KOO SE-RA

Hello, everyone.

Today, I'll give you seven tips
on how to become a great speaker.

MASTERING PUBLIC SPEAKING, THE 7 LAWS

First, be confident.

Right here and now,
I'll talk to a passer-by.

The confidence to not be flustered
even when no one's around.

You're learning about elections
through videos?

Because I must meet and talk to people.

Pledges. I have to do research
on that too.

If you bring a list
and promise to do everything,

who would vote for you?

You've had interviews, so you'd know.

"I'll do my best. I can do everything."

Did they get hired?
They don't even pass the first round.

No. People don't think too hard
when they vote.

Even my dad tells me
to vote for Candidate One.

Exactly. People don't care enough
to go beyond Candidate One or Two.

Independent Candidate 5,

make Koo Se-ra a member
of Mawon-gu's district assembly.

That's too long.

Even that's too long.

It's too long?

Is it?

Hello, ma'am. I'm Candidate Three.

Hello! Vote for Candidate Three.

Candidate Three!

The son of Mawon, Kim Cheol-su!

I'll be the hope
of independent businessmen!

Number 3! Number 3!

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE 4,
MONK CHEONGPUNG CHA EUN-WOO

MAWON'S QUEEN OF COMPLAINTS

OH BYEONG-MIN, SON EUN-SIL

KIM CHEOL-SU, CHA EUN-WOO

My gosh. Is this
a ticketing frenzy or what?

Did they put them up at the crack of dawn?

Roll that up quickly.

Banners put up
without the apartment complex's permission

are illegal on private property
and are taken down.

I know that too.

I just put it down for a while.

What did your parents say?
Their only daughter's running for office.

Don't even ask. It's a secret.

I should've seen this coming
when you mumbled.

I should've headbutted you before I quit.

Quit dawdling and pick that up.

I'll check later.

Sure.

I swear that one day, I will just

kick him in the--

Koo Se-ra!

Han-bi.

What's going on?

NAKWON RICE CAKES

Hello. I'm running in the by-election.

-My name is--
-Darn.

I haven't sold anything yet.

Go away!

We became his first customers, didn't we?

At the market tomorrow, we should
first buy, then explain who we are.

-Yes.
-Right here,

I will put my cannon.

-Your cannon?
-Yes.

Then I'll just block it.

-What?
-And then I will--

Hello. I'm running in the by-election.

My name is Koo Se-ra.

-Running in what?
-The by-election.

To represent Mawon-gu
in the district assembly.

How old are you this year?

I'm 29.

-You're 29?
-Yes.

Are you married?

-Not yet.
-Serious jobs like politics

should be left to men.

Don't be silly
and get involved in elections.

Just get married and have children!

That's a woman's happiness,

duty, and calling!

That's right.

Sir. How is that
a woman's happiness and calling--

Sorry, sirs.

That is your calling!

NEW POSTS

This is my reality.

A mom has no time
to play around with her kids.

What do you mean?

Our company's struggling,
so we had no choice.

Why am I the one to leave?

I barely used up my maternity leave.

What am I supposed to do?

Should I fire Mr. Kim?
He's a dad with two kids.

Or what about Mr. Lee?
He's getting married next year.

You really shouldn't have gone
to the bathroom every hour

and left your seat vacant.

I had to express my milk
for my baby, okay?

This lousy company doesn't
have a lounge for female workers,

so I had to express my milk
from the bathroom. Is that so wrong?

How dare you talk to me that way?

Am I supposed to respect you
when I'm being fired?

If it weren't for work, I wouldn't
even talk to an old man like you!

What are you looking at?

Ms. Kwon.

-Yes?
-We can't help but do this.

So please empty your desk
within this month.

You may go now.

What a bunch of crazy jerks!

You didn't say anything?

What was I supposed to say?

If I leave with a bad reputation,
I can't get another job.

I organized files for the change-over
and left with my stuff.

Now that I'm married with a kid,
I feel like I'm at a disadvantage.

They're the crazy ones.

And I'm able to recognize talent
when I see one.

You're handing out cards with me tomorrow.

You must be nuts. I'm not interested.

Let's do this together, U-yeong.
I need you.

Candidate 5, Koo Se-ra.

Let's try our best so I can get elected.

If we're jobless for too long,
we can't go back to work.

You don't have anyone
supporting you anyway.

My gosh, you know it won't work out.

Why not?

If you join me now,

you'll become like Jeong Do-jeon.

Didn't he die later on?

Of course, he's dead. He's from the past.

We can do this.

No, it's realistically impossible.

U-yeong.

Are you going to teach your kid
that she can't do things?

Why are you suddenly
bringing up my daughter?

What about you? You're doing this

because you're mad at Min-jae.

Hey!

Have you not learned anything
after what happened to me today?

Who would vote
for a bunch of fools like us?

Even I'm not going to vote for you.

My gosh.

Listen.

STRATEGY TO GET KOO SE-RA ELECTED

Mawon-gu has 400,000 residents.

District L for the by-election
has 50,000 voters.

The turnout in the last election
was 60 percent.

It's only 20 to 30 percent
for by-elections.

I need to earn 60 percent of their votes.

How many votes is that?

POPULATION OF MAWON-GU: 400,000

I need 6,000 to 9,000 votes
in order to get elected.

Hey, we had a hard time
getting 50 recommenders.

Yes, I know.

Therefore…

POPULATION GRAPH

We will be targeting

female voters in their 20s to 40s.

That's exactly 10,000 people.

And these women are similar
to someone we know.

Kwon U-yeong.

Let's go win their hearts.

Regulations for women!

-Candidate 5 Koo Se-ra promises you this!
-Hello.

We have the power to change our lives!

Work less and make more!

Make more money!

Hello.

-Hi!
-Hello.

How adorable.

Hi. I'm Koo Se-ra.

My name is Koo Se-ra.

Candidate 5, Koo Se-ra.

I'm Koo Se-ra, Candidate 5.

I'm Candidate 5, Koo Se-ra!

I promise to make sure you can go home

to your kids when the clock strikes two.

You can check by voting for Koo Se-ra.

-Candidate 5.
-Candidate 5.

-Koo Se-ra!
-You got a new stroller.

It's very comfortable for the baby.
I totally recommend it.

Should I also get a new one?

I'll send you the model name
via our group chat.

She's running for the by-election. I saw
her at the kindergarten this morning.

I don't get why we have
district representatives.

It's such a waste of our taxes.

-Candidate 5!
-Koo Se-ra!

Do we get the day off to vote? When?

April 10. From 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
We don't get the day off.

Koo Se-ra! You will be able to go home
as soon as the clock…

Well, I kind of checked beforehand.

I see. Gosh, you startled me.

My goodness.

Gosh, it's time. Let's hurry.

You will be able
to pick up your kids on time.

-It's time.
-Really?

-Come on.
-Let's go.

Candidate 5, Koo Se-ra!

Candidate 5!

Han-bi!

I promise to make sure you can go home
to your kids when the clock strikes two.

-You can check--
-Shut it!

Will you stop making so much noise
in front of my cafe?

I'm sorry.

My goodness, seriously.

I promise to make sure you can go home
to your kids when the clock strikes two.

You can check by voting for--

Hey.

OH BYEONG-MIN, SON EUN-SIL

KIM CHEOL-SU, CHA EUN-WOO

Did you see who drew on the posters?

Whoever did this violated election law.

The kids here did it for fun.

My goodness.

WAKE UP! IN YOUR DREAMS!

My gosh.

She really should wake up.

Why enter the election
and end up getting humiliated like this?

What is this? Se-ra--

She's my daughter.

What is she doing here?

My goodness.

CANDIDATE 5, KOO SE-RA

I will put up street lamps
so you can run safely.

I will do my best
to represent the residents.

I am Candidate 5, Koo Se-ra.

DAD

Darn it.

Aren't you picking it up?

He gets upset every time he sees me
ever since I messed up my last interview.

I should keep a distance from him for now.

Candidate…

Distance, my foot.

What in the world
do you think you're doing?

Get over here!

Dad, no!

Dad!

Let me explain!

Come here.

-Let me explain!
-You!

Hey!

My gosh.

-Dad, don't you trust me?
-I don't.

You switched jobs more than ten times
after you graduated.

You have no right to do politics.

Who's going to help you?
You don't even have any money.

That's exactly it.

I'm running for office
because of that darn money.

If you think about it,
I'm just trying to get a job.

And you're kind of overreacting.

It's not like I'm running for president.

You're talking nonsense.
Stop what you're doing.

-No.
-Stop getting ideas,

and just work hard to get yourself a job.

No.

My gosh, I have only one daughter,

but she's really tearing me apart here.

Gosh, why would you say that?

Dad, you're not as precise
as you used to be.

My goodness. Good going!

What an amazing family!

Darn it!

My goodness!

My gosh, come on.

You're running for office?
Have you lost your mind?

Why would you waste that money on that?

We could've used it to pay back our debt.

My goodness, if you're so frugal,
why did you make us go into debt?

Forget about the 2 million
and just quit it.

I'll do my best to pay back our debt.

So don't get yourself in a mess
and find a job.

No. I'm already doing that right now.

Get out! Get out of my house
if you're going to do things your way!

Let's be honest.

This darn house already belongs
to the darn bank.

"You can do it. You have my full support."

Is it so hard to say that?

It's a difficult path where I can't
get support even from my love or family.

Ma'am.

Your bag is open.

Just go your way.

But…

-Let me help.
-If you want to help, just leave.

KOO SE-RA

Mr. Seo.

Gosh, it's so heavy.

I'm not going to help.

I never asked for help.

You got kicked out, right?

No. I'm going to get busy
because of the election,

so I'm just moving in with my friend
for a little while.

By any chance,
did your boyfriend ask you to do this?

Did he ask you to help Assemblyman Jo
by diverting people?

You have an amazing sense of imagination.

He wouldn't use
his girlfriend for politics.

He's not that big of a jerk.

Mr. Seo, you almost crossed the line.

Then why don't you just quit?

You're wasting money and time
on something that won't work.

You're very sure of yourself.
Are you a fortune-teller?

-What do you know about me?
-I'm just saying this

as a former colleague.

Gosh, I'm exhausted.

Then let me also say something
as your former colleague.

This is what people say about you.

They say you hopelessly dream
of getting your job back

even when you got demoted.

People think it's impossible.

But I don't agree with them.

You can't live the life
that people expect you to live.

I'm going to get elected no matter what.

So you can also try your best.

I'm sure I'll get reinstated
before you get elected.

I bet it'll be the other way around.

Do you want to bet?

You must convince the one
to reinstate you.

And I have 10,000 voters to convince.
Which one is easier?

The former, obviously.

Don't you know that
10,000 is a bigger number?

-What are you doing?
-Give me your hand.

When people vote for someone,

it has nothing to do with math.
It's about their hearts.

It all comes from their hearts.

You should go home.

QUICK TO RESOLVE COMPLAINTS, KOO SE-RA

How romantic.

Come and catch me.

Hey!

-Okay, my turn.
-Let's do it.

Come on.

Nearby a close rest spot

SAM MART NEEDS TO LEAVE!

Residents of Minju-dong, Mawon-gu
are concerned

about a construction project
that began a while ago.

Korea's largest distributor, Sam Mart
is building a distribution center,

and it's less than 200m
from an elementary school.

We applied to change the use of land
according to the law.

We approved the application
according to our procedures.

The person in charge is out
and cannot answer any questions.

Without any concern for safety,

Sam Mart is proceeding
with the construction.

We demand responsible answers
from Mawon-gu Office

and the district assembly

that changed ordinances
to assist a large company.

We must discover the truth of that day!

The part-timer who stood in
as a stenographer

pointed out the wrongfulness
of the new ordinance,

and was dismissed for it!

What happened in the meeting afterward

was only roughly recorded.

The district representatives
rushed to revise a bill,

and they must be held responsible for it!

-Yes!
-That's right!

This is an opportunity to set us apart.

"Us"?

You rushed on by and now you say "us"?

Who are you?

Introduce yourself before butting in.

All the moms are enraged over this.

This is the only card
that can get Se-ra elected.

Will you use it?

Are you whispering to leave me out?

You know how much I hate that!

That's why I'm doing it.

How childish.

What are you saying?

I got into this for the money.

Acting like I'm the people's champion
goes against my conscience.

It'd go against your conscience
if you made it up…

A show of hands. You know that

I count as two.

Minors don't have a vote, ma'am.

Here, we do.

You don't stand a chance
if you don't use Sam Mart.

MAWON-GU ELECTION COMMISSION

District representative, Yoon Hee-soo.

When the bill for Sam Mart's distribution
center was passed, you were present?

No.

Can I get the phone number
of the part-time stenographer girl?

Study the Personal Information
Protection Act first.

Also, how can you call her
a "part-time girl"?

How many calls is that already?

They all want to use this somehow
for their campaign.

They don't even know
the part-timer is running too.

Chairman Jo was the one
who told me to fire her,

but what if we get blamed for this?

The one who ordered her dismissal

was Chairman Jo Maeng-duk?

Yes.

He even called me directly
instead of his secretary.

-What is this?
-Just memorize it.

Just trust me this time
so we can turn the tables.

What do you mean?

-Mawon-gu Office.
-Mawon-gu Office?

APRIL 1 SPEECH

I WAS WRONGFULLY FIRED FROM…

Are you insane? Hey, stop the car.

Hey, let go of me. I said let go. Let go!

I won't go. I'm not going!

I can't do this! I can't.

Hey, let go.

Okay, fine. Okay.

I'll go. I will. I said I'll go.

Let go of me.

We are opposed to the distribution center
that threatens our children's safety!

-We are opposed!
-We are opposed!

The district representatives
who passed the bill

-should apologize this instant!
-Oh my gosh.

-Apologize this instant!
-Gosh.

-We are opposed to the dangerous
-Where's the speech?

-distribution center!
-Hey!

-We are opposed!
-We are opposed!

Everyone, we have invited
the part-time stenographer

who was also wrongfully fired
from Mawon-gu Office, Ms. Koo Se-ra.

Give her a big hand.

Say something!

-Justice always wins!
-Koo Se-ra.

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

Koo Se-ra?

-I've heard that name before.
-She's Candidate 5 Koo Se-ra,

who is running
for the election independently.

What?

Hello!

Koo Se-ra! The speech!

Koo Se-ra!

Hello, I'm Koo Se-ra.

I know you think of me as a part-timer

that was wrongfully fired
from Mawon-gu Office,

but right now, I am Candidate 5 Koo Se-ra,

who is running for the
by-election independently!

If I didn't work
as a part-time stenographer that day,

I would just be writing up résumés
in order to find another job.

But that day,

half of the seats
in the District Assembly were empty,

and the district representatives there
were yawning and dozing off.

And some of them were trying

to commit fraud
by using the public's indifference.

The fact that I was kicked out

of the District Assembly
that day isn't important.

I was angry,
but I can just find another job.

But what's important is

building a distribution center full
of trucks next to our children's school

is unacceptable.

A cranky colleague who worked with me

once told me this
before I ran for the by-election.

He said hope and potential
are two different things.

He's right.

I'm a candidate
that will never be elected.

However,

if we don't have hope,
what future is there for us?

"A tomorrow that's better than today."

Isn't that the future we're hoping for?

This year's budget for Mawon-gu Office
is 564.1 billion won.

All I want is

50 million won as my salary
from that amount.

If you choose me, I will make sure

the remaining 564.05 billion won
is used properly.

I will always view things
from your perspective

and make sure the budget
is properly allocated.

I know this day has been full of lies,

but I really mean this,
as long as you choose me.

Thank you.

-Thank you!
-Thank you!

-Thank you!
-Koo Se-ra!

Koo Se-ra!

WE WILL PROTECT OUR KIDS!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

Thank you. Koo Se-ra!

Koo Se-ra!

Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

Chairman Jo.

We must make things clear.

The Sam Mart Distribution Center Project

was suggested
by the district representatives first.

All we did

was follow the decision
that was made by the District Assembly.

The opinions on the internet

are unfavorable to us
starting from the mom cafes.

This isn't our first time.

This too shall pass
if we just watch quietly.

Don't mind it.

Yes, sir.

Also…

Let's go, Koo Se-ra!

…I will persuade
Candidate Koo Se-ra somehow

-and make sure--
-No.

You don't have to get involved.

-We oppose the distribution center
-Also…

that threatens our children's safety!

Bring Deputy Director
Seo Gong-myung tonight.

Sir, tonight is Jeong-dae's--

I know.

Apologize this instant!

-Apologize this instant!
-I need to meet someone.

-We are opposed…
-Yes, I understand.

…to the distribution center!

-We are opposed!
-We are opposed!

The district representatives who passed…

Here.

Here, I brought you some red ginseng.

I prepared some for your wife too.

Thanks.

But

why did you want to see me?

I should've found a better position
for your daughter last time.

She wouldn't be satisfied
with reinstatement at her previous job.

That's why she's even running
in the election.

Don't worry about it.

She hasn't come to her senses yet.

She likes to stand out just like her mom.

I should marry her off.

It'll be difficult for her to be elected,

and even if she makes it,
it will only be for a year.

She needs to find a stable job
and think of getting married.

You're right.

Mawon-gu Office will be choosing

a new level-ten civil servant next month.

Isn't a civil servant
the perfect job for a woman?

-Here.
-Thanks.

MAWON BRIDGE

I'm Kim Min-jae,
Chairman Jo Maeng-duk's secretary.

I came here to get you.

Please leave.

Please get in.

I'm here about your brother.

Jeong-dae.

Darn it. Do you guys not work?

Shoot.

How many times did I send this photo?

-Hello.
-I sent you a photo.

It's about my complaint.

I thought you'd apologize
for quoting my words.

You expected too much.

I apologize when I feel bad, and I don't.

Contact the service center.

I don't work there.

Hello?

What a jerk.

It's your brother's memorial.
You should attend as a brother.

Did you say hello?

This young man serves me by my side.

He's Kim Min-jae who's like a son to me.

This is

the person who hates me
the most in this world.

My eldest son Jo Gong-myung.

Why call me after kicking me out?

Can you at least pretend
to listen to your father?

I barely even finished talking
and what did you say? No?

This is why you got him in trouble.

Who do you mean? Who's in trouble?

You don't need to know.

That's how scary politics is.

If you really want to serve the country,

be a civil servant, not a politician.

Am I to study for the exam?

No. If you bail out of the election,

someone will get you a position.

What do you mean?

Cool down and drink this.

Dad got red ginseng for free.

Give in and do as he says.

I like the offer.

Red ginseng?

Who gave you this? Who would give us this?

Make up your mind today.

If you refuse, I'll disown you.

I asked about the red ginseng!

Who gave it to you?

I don't know.

Come home.

Quit being a civil servant.

Work for me and learn the ropes.

That…

will never happen.

Chief Won was a civil servant

and knows how to use people
better than anyone.

You upset her,
and she won't take you back.

If she's re-elected
at next year's regional election,

you will have to man a desk
in the service center.

Have you been…

observing Jeong-dae's death anniversary?

What are you doing here?

I'm here to return something.

You stay out of it.

Hello.

I came to return this.

My mother opened two packs,
not knowing what the bribe was for.

I enclosed a 5000-won bill.

Bribe?

I believe monetary or material gifts
with a purpose is a bribe.

-So you refuse my offer?
-Yes.

I heard you're running for office
to get a job.

I'm offering you one
so you don't have to waste time.

Your father asked me for a favor.

Forget about my father's request.
I won't take any job through connections.

You'll campaign to the end?

I'll campaign to the end and get elected.

You're more romantic than you look.

Get home safely.

I will.

Seo Gong-myung?

Jo Gong-myung?

-One, two, three.
-One, two, three.

Yes! I got the bigger piece.

Here. Let's halve it evenly.

Bite off this part.

-Can I really?
-Yes.

My ice cream.

You said we could halve it evenly.

My ice cream!

I told you to eat just this much!

I want my ice cream back!

I want my ice cream back.

It's been a while, Jo Gong-myung.

Yes, I see the face from back then.

In a different version, though.

It's Seo Gong-myung.

Hey. We were close as kids.

-Fourth grade in Minju Elementary School--
-Not at all. I have no memory.

Why do you not remember me?

Did you go home every year

on this day?

Whether I go to that home,

whether the bus stop sign is broken,
what does it have to do with you?

Quit daydreaming
without any sense of reality

and get on with your life.

I'm ignoring you
because of the way you behave.

Darn him.

"Romantic"?

"No sense of reality"?

I'm "daydreaming"?

In that case, I'm putting
my two million-won romance on fire.

Completely.

A degree, work experience,

organization, and political party.
I have none of them!

But look up "Garden Tiger Moth"
on Voice of the Residents

on Mawon-gu Office's website.

Remember the Garden Tiger Moth
who flew toward the flames

for Mawon-gu for 15 years.

Koo Se-ra,
the independent Queen of Complaints,

will fight to spend your tax money wisely!

I have news.

Se-ra's amazing.

The urban planning department

just got a fax
from Sam Mart's head office.

The new distribution center
will no longer be built there.

-No way.
-Isn't that crazy?

That is crazy. They backed down.

Se-ra's good.

At around 9:00 a.m. tomorrow,
Sam Mart and Mawon-gu Office

will post an apology
on the official websites.

What shall I do, sir?

At 9:00 a.m.?

The distribution center
threatens our kids' safety.

We object!

-We object! We object!
-We object! We object!

The district representatives who passed
the bill shall come out and apologize!

-Apologize! Apologize!
-Apologize! Apologize!

WE WANT SAM MART OUT!

What--

Hello.

I have something to say.
Can I have the mic?

Thanks.

-Did you hear anything?
-No.

Hello. I'm chairman
of Mawon-gu's District Assembly,

Jo Maeng-duk.

My office is

in the corner of the second floor
of that building.

Every morning,
I'm welcomed with reports on issues

that are stacked this high.

I work overtime every day.

As I read the reports
with my dim eyes every night,

everything you shout

rings in my ears as well.

It's been hurting me all the time.

One thing

touched me especially.

Ms. Koo Se-ra?

Can you join me on the podium?

Me?

Give her a warm hand.

What is she doing?

Stop her.

Listening to what Ms. Koo Se-ra said

reminded me of when I first started
as a politician.

My second son

went to Minju Elementary School.

I lost him in an accident.

I wish for children to be safe
more than anyone else.

Dear Mawon-gu residents.

I brought upon a dramatic agreement!

Sam Mart's distribution center!

I hereby announce that
all plans have been canceled!

-Awesome!
-However,

I will take full responsibility

and resign as chairman
of the district assembly.

I will go back to basics

and work for the interests
of the Mawon-gu people.

As a member of the public
who took a courageous stand,

Ms. Koo Se-ra right here

deserves a big round of applause.

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Jo Maeng-duk!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Jo Maeng-duk!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Koo Se-ra!

-Koo Se-ra!
-Jo Maeng-duk!

How unbelievable.

I know.

If you'd made the announcement first--

Please.

Do you not know why I made you
a district representative?

I told you to stick close to Jo Maeng-duk
and bring me helpful information!

You're just getting into trouble!

I'm sorry.

MAWON-GU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY

Did you have to use…

your dead son?

It's not like cherishing his reputation
will bring him back.

Even my living son can't stand me.

You'll understand me one day.

Why did you go up there
just because he called you?

He called her by name.

She couldn't ignore him.

Darn it.

Why did he say Ms. Koo Se-ra
and not Candidate Koo Se-ra?

He mocked you. He looks down on you!

I know that!

I want to beat up
the Se-ra from an hour ago.

What's this?

"I report Candidate Koo Se-ra
for getting a job with a favor"?

Candidate 5 Koo Se-ra
doesn't qualify to run for office.

With favor from a current district
representative, she tried to get a job.

With that lack of conscience,
how can she represent the youth?

Campaigning can get so dirty.

Don't worry. Say it's not true.

It is true.

My dad's friend got me a job interview.

At a tiny company at the most.

The company I just got fired from
after the team dinner.

That's not a tiny place.

You had such connections?

Connections?

CANDIDATE 5 KOO SE-RA'S A TRAITOR!
FROM PROTEST TO PHONY

My gosh.

Why are they sending it even to me?

Everyone's desperate
because polling day's coming up.

To be honest, it makes so much sense.

The video made it--

Shouldn't we catch whoever posted it?

Yes, well,

how would I do that?

The campaigning would be long over
if we caught the person.

It's obvious. At times like this,

it usually ends
with a candidate resigning.

So, Candidate Koo Se-ra's father's friend

who's a district representative.
Who could it be?

Koo Se-ra's district representative--

Darn it.

Mr. Seo.

Mr. Seo.

I'll go and wrap it up.

Hey.

RESIGNATION OF CANDIDACY

Don't do it.

Don't do what?

You told me to quit daydreaming
in such a nasty tone.

Are you hitting the brakes in my life
whenever you please?

You just won't listen.

My ice cream!

I told you to eat just this much!

I want my ice cream back!

My ice cream.

My ice cream.

Let's go, crybaby.

Right back at you.

Why don't you chant "Koo-to-Oh"
and win the independent votes?

-"Koo-to-Oh"?
-"Koo-to-Oh"?

“Vote for Koo Se-ra,
and Oh Byeong-min wins.”

"Family of three with no conscience
that feeds off others their whole lives."

They shouldn't have messed with my family.

First, let's find out
how this all started.

How about exposing
Oh Byeong-min's private life?

Slandering the opponent
is the highlight of elections.

By the looks of it,
they are in a fierce battle.

This is why Korea blows.
In America, this is nonsense!

-Why not?
-Why not?
