Into the Ring (2020): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript
I took a new job 15 days
ago for the great salary,
but it looks like
they won't pay me.
I worked really,
really hard to get in.
What should I do?
Does the company have no money?
I would like to make a suggestion
to the respective representatives.
All 13 of Mawon-gu's
district representatives...
should be a good example.
Until our finances
are back on track,
we shall take no pay...
to share the pain
with the voters.
My pay.
What happens to my pay?
Chairman Cho. Sir.
Take back what you said earlier.
Your building's tenants pay
you the rent every month,
so your representative salary may
be petty change to you, but not to me.
I really need to
be paid. I must.
Do you think the
residents voted for you...
just so you'd get paid?
Now that you're on
Mawon-gu District Assembly,
you must share
the responsibility.
Good luck.
I'm sure the void vote
was worth something.
Well done.
Darn you. How could you?
Ms. Goo.
What do I do now?
Darn it.
I thought you braced yourself
when you decided to abstain.
How did you think of stamping
it in the middle to abstain?
Were you trying to
imply you're neutral?
No.
I didn't abstain!
I have to get paid.
Let's not forget why I ran to
be a district representative.
Hey, I never promised
to work for free.
I only want 50,000 dollars...
for my salary from the
yearly budget for Mawon-gu.
I already told the
people from the get-go.
I made myself very
clear in advance!
Besides, am I the only
one who wants to get paid?
It's important for everyone.
Listen. How poorly did
they distribute the budget?
How could we have nothing
left from all of our tax money?
How could our
district be penniless?
Did I use up all the money?
Why are you yelling at me?
You should have talked to Chief
Won. You missed your chance.
By the way,
who abstained if you didn't?
How would I know? Move!
We can't let...
that independent
district representative...
to have sway over
our important agenda.
We cannot.
This year is important
for both of us.
This has to be ready
before the election.
Of course.
While I tend to
business in-house,
why don't you...
take care of
urgent matters first?
It was me who abstained.
Wait, does it mean Ms. Goo...
She was in favor of it.
She ran for office
for the annual salary.
I knew she'd vote for it.
Let's watch how Chief
Won will handle this.
Ms. Goo is learning her
way faster than I thought.
I'm not sure.
You're being generous
with your evaluation.
My dearest civil
servants of Mawon-gu,
I would like to thank
you for your hard work...
to elevate our district for
the better day and night.
I wanted to settle...
the sundry payments by
issuing more municipal bonds.
But as the District
Assembly didn't see it fit,
my agenda fell through.
What about my mortgage loan?
As a result, for the
next six months,
30 percent of
Mawon-gu Office's...
civil servants' salaries
will be deferred.
At a moment like this,
I ask you to work
harmoniously and diligently.
"Resigning is the only way."
"You're in deep trouble
if they can't pay you."
"Resigning is the only way."
Get a grip, Ms. Goo.
If you quit now,
- you'll be giving up your position.
- Give up my position?
If you quit now, you
should leave Mawon-gu.
"Leave"?
Darn it. When I was
bouncing around jobs,
I always got paid on time.
This is good for you though.
District representatives
can have a side job.
Apply for a job.
But I don't have time.
I can only work early in
the morning and at night.
Mr. My Previous Boss.
Do you want to hang
out with me again?
I like my current babysitter.
Why are you using honorifics?
Listen. I can't get a job because
people can recognize me.
You think you're famous.
Go away. Go.
They make the perfect team.
You can't get in between them.
Darn it.
How am I going
to pay for my food?
How am I going to
pay back my debt?
Darn it. This is
driving me crazy.
Darn it.
Darn.
No.
I didn't abstain!
Gosh, she's so straightforward.
Then, does it mean there's
a district representative...
who was against issuing
the municipal bonds?
We ought to take care of our safety
and health before something happens.
- Right?
- Yes.
You should drink it up.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I brought a lost child.
Hey, Gong.
How dare you look at
me like that? It's rude.
What's up...
with your outfit?
Oh, this.
I have a new job.
I can deliver them for four hours a
day. Once I hit the minimum sales,
I'll get paid 1,000
dollars a month.
You have so many talents.
Excuse me. This child was
at a park alone this morning.
Kid, what's your name?
I'm a police officer.
Answer my question.
What's your name? Do
you live around here?
Well...
Move.
Here.
If you don't drink this
now, I'll give it to him.
One,
two...
There you go.
Gosh.
Let's sit down and drink this.
What's your name?
Stay far away from me.
Hey, I need to go this way too.
I'm going to work.
By the way, you were so nice
to bring that lost boy home...
this morning.
He wasn't lost.
He ran away from home.
What?
Darn it.
- Hey.
- What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Hey.
What was that?
If you steal from this bag,
three generations of
your family will be unlucky.
I guess that's how
you guys settled it.
What do you mean?
You and Kim Min Jae.
If you run into each
other, you'll pretend...
to not know each other
and keep things professional.
But it looks like your boyfriend
doesn't know you're delivering...
green vegetable
juice in the morning.
Hey.
You're not supposed to rely on
your friends or family to do sales.
I dated him for nine years.
It's my last ounce
of pride I have.
You dated him for nine years?
Why?
Why do you think?
Because I loved him.
No.
I want to know
how Mr. Kim dated...
someone like you.
Why do you think he dated you?
Why you little...
Do you feel more
comfortable around me now?
You're awfully curious today.
Why don't you go
work with that passion?
You should help me work too.
You have bloodshot
eyes. You must be tired.
I have some green
vegetable juice for your fatigue.
I hope you really become
rich with all that work.
Just 40 dollars a month.
I'll give you a discount.
40 dollars, my foot.
I'll give you a discount.
I don't want a discount!
Did you have lunch?
Not yet.
I have.
Can you do some research for me?
Oh, I'll prepare
it by tomorrow...
I need it by today.
Please focus on this.
By the way,
you weren't part of the
council secretariat before, right?
I worked in Planning and
Budgeting for two years...
and two months in
the service center.
I see. I'll see you
again, Mr. Seo.
Red suits you well.
Sir, are you having a long day?
How are your bowels?
How about trying some
green vegetable juice...
that's good for your bowels?
I'm not buying.
Come on, don't
think of it as buying,
but rather an investment.
Hey, hey.
How about it? I'll give it
to you on a special offer.
No, thanks.
Come on.
I told you I'm not buying.
Come on, why not?
What's wrong with you?
Goo Se Ra!
Dad?
What are you doing here?
I'm Se Ra's dad, Goo Yeong Tae.
I guess...
you're Kim Min Jae,
who's dating my daughter.
Dad, you got it
wrong. It's not him.
It's not?
How could you be
flirting with a guy...
this late when he's not
even your boyfriend?
Who are you then?
I'm Gong Myung, sir.
It's been a long time.
Gong Myung. You know,
my friend when we were kids.
Your friend's son.
He's not even my type either.
Why are you here?
This doesn't concern you.
I'm just interested
in various areas.
Where's Ms. Yoon?
You're sitting in her seat.
Darn it.
Let's begin article seven,
the ordinance bill on supporting
transportation expenses...
for low-income college
students in Mawon-gu.
Let's hear the opinion of
the Administration Division.
Head of social welfare.
What's the expected budget?
Yes, we've allocated 540
dollars a year for 210 students...
which adds up to
113.4 thousand dollars...
for the year 2021.
113.4 thousand...
Goodness, do we
have the money for that?
I mean...
It'll be nice to give them
money if we can afford it,
but you all know that
Mawon-gu doesn't have money.
Also, why is it 540 dollars?
How did you come
up with this number?
Well, we considered
the round trip costs...
for adults...
You see, I knew it.
You said they're
college students.
You should've calculated
the student fare then.
College students
pay the adult fare too.
Just saying.
The general bus fare for
Seoul in cash is 1.3 dollars...
and for credit cards,
it's 1.2 dollars.
Listen. If we pay them
this money with cash,
they won't use it
for transportation,
but for something else.
Young kids these days...
even pay 300 dollars a
night for drinks. Am I wrong?
Excuse me.
The minimum
wage is 8.59 dollars.
What are you saying?
Even if they work 4 hours
a day for 24 days a month,
they can't even make a
thousand dollars a month.
So what kind of
crazy college student...
will use 300 dollars
in one night for drinks?
As long as they received
formal school education,
I doubt anyone
would think that way.
What are you talking about?
What I mean is...
why do our country
and our government...
have to take care of people
who aren't actually broke?
Goodness, that will be all.
This is Officer Kim from Mawon
Community Security Center.
I'd like to request a month of
green vegetable juice delivery.
We need to keep public peace
and our health when we can.
We also have to protect
the dreams of people,
even if we're not sure
if they're broke or not.
Let's consider it an investment
for the education of Mawon-gu.
Investment, my foot.
Why don't you just say you
don't want to pay? Goodness.
My gosh.
Let's go for lunch.
Yes, okay.
I'd like to thank you...
regarding the vote to issue
municipal bonds last time.
Actually, I didn't do anything.
Everyone...
was worried you
might have voted yes.
Actually, I didn't abstain...
Like you saw earlier,
in order to get a bill passed,
you need people on your side.
Since you're not a
member of a party,
it's very important to meet
colleagues who will side with you.
With that being said,
how about gathering some
young representatives...
to make a joint motion?
A joint motion?
Yes, Officer. I've
confirmed your delivery.
By the way,
what happened to that
lost kid that morning?
He wasn't lost but just
ran away from home.
His dad came and
dragged him home,
and we had no choice
since he was the father.
I see.
Okay, have a good day then.
He wasn't lost.
He ran away from home.
Good luck. Yes!
Really?
Now, I'll explain about
the ordinance bill...
on promoting neighborhood
undercover agents.
In supermarkets,
convenience stores,
stationery stores, comic
book stores, and internet cafes,
there are many business
owners who see children often.
We will appoint them...
as secret undercover agents...
that will protect the
children of Mawon-gu.
When they see a kid
who's been abused,
they can report it.
Gosh.
Hey, come over here.
Whenever there's a missing
child or a victim of school violence,
their stores can be used
as temporary shelters too.
But what is the standard for
selecting those businesses?
If you consider the number of
children that use their services,
it's hard to exclude
conglomerates.
They'll just take advantage
and hog up all the benefits.
You must need
more time to think.
Did you go over
my ordinance bill?
Yes, I did.
There are many
similarities to...
Seoul's 2017 ordinance on
the protection and support of...
female victims of violence
and the 2019 ordinance on...
the prevention of child abuse.
So you checked the
existing ordinances.
We made enough improvements.
You mean the obligation
to keep a secret, right?
"Staff must treat victims
as human beings,"
"and must not share information
gained during an investigation."
I honestly really thought this
was awesomely incredible.
That darn diary.
Diary!
That was great! Let's
keep this party going...
I should just...
How dare you evaluate my work?
If not for Mr. Bong Chu San,
I wouldn't even sit at
the same table with you.
Darn you.
I emailed the
information you requested.
Please check.
Seo Gong Myung.
He's still at work, right?
You're leaving late.
Yes.
Where do you live?
If it's on the way...
It's fine. I'll take the bus.
Taking a bus after a long
day will drain you further.
I'm drained because
you made me work late.
You ask me to do
all sorts of research...
as if I'm your
personal assistant.
I thought it was
just about work.
But an excessively
tight deadline...
reduces the quality of research,
so keep that in mind. Goodbye.
It's here.
I noted a few amendments
to the ordinance bill.
Revise the file
and email it to me.
Someone here is a
huge fan of writing in red.
I emailed the
information you requested.
Please check.
Dear Mawon-gu residents.
Please give blood.
Donating blood is love.
Do some good.
- Please give blood.
- Please give blood.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- The ordinance bill...
you're working on with Ms. Goo.
I heard it's almost done.
I'd like to revise
just a few letters.
Please give blood.
- Such as?
- Like...
Oh. Give blood. Goodbye.
The proposer's name.
Please give blood.
You want a free ride on a bill
that hasn't even passed yet?
It's not a free ride.
I want to tag along with you.
I thought we were aiming
for the National Assembly.
Hello. Please give
blood. Thank you.
Donating blood is love.
I discussed it with
Chairman Cho.
Do I have to do what he says?
- Thank you.
- Come on.
You let a rookie...
go to the National
Assembly as her first project?
You'll spoil her.
- Please give blood.
- Give blood.
To be frank, you don't
like Goo Se Ra much.
Because of what happened
before the by-election.
Please give blood.
Donating blood is love.
Representatives,
how about a photo?
Stand next to each other.
1, 2, 3.
Hello...
Leave it by the door!
I'm not a delivery guy.
- My gosh.
- I'm sorry.
Mom got excited
about winning a prize...
and ended up shelling out
more money than she won.
Still, it was a
special discount.
Hello.
- Are you doing okay?
- Yes.
I remembered that
you liked these flowers.
Gosh. You have
such a great memory.
I say it hundreds of times...
and the Goos
never listen or care.
- It's a bit heavy.
- Sorry.
Why don't you put it down there?
You're so tall.
And well-built.
You were a picky eater...
and your mom worried so
much that you wouldn't grow tall.
I heard what happened
to your mom much later.
You've grown nicely.
- You look great.
- Thanks.
Why did you cook so much?
I wanted to feed you
good home-cooked food.
Don't believe her. Half of it
was ordered from this place.
We bought it with the
money I worked hard to earn.
This food is worth
a million dollars.
I see.
Show him around the house.
It's so small he can turn
on the spot and see it all.
Chat in your room and
come when I call you.
- Go on, then.
- Okay.
Since when were
you my dad's friend?
If I'd known sooner...
Would you have
cleaned your room?
I'd have told you
what cake to buy.
Remember. I always
eat blueberry yogurt cake.
Is this the ordinance bill you're
working on with Representative Yoon?
Yes. We're making
some final revisions.
Why play, right?
Listen carefully.
One, until dinner is ready,
we give out leaflets to promote
the green vegetable juice.
Two, we sit here in comfort,
with our legs crossed,
and check the
printout for typos.
- Number two.
- Good choice.
I want to get this passed
and be acknowledged.
As a real district
representative and a colleague.
Can I do that?
Are you listening?
Darn you.
- I'm home.
- Dad is home.
I brought Maeng Duk.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Thank you.
- Come and sit down.
Hi.
Why did you prepare so much?
Hello.
Don't you want to brag
about your smart son...
to the Mawon-gu Office people?
Cho Maeng Duk, Cho Gong Myung.
Quick-witted
people might notice.
I'm waiting for the right
time to shock everyone.
I'm Seo Gong Myung,
not Cho Gong Myung.
I took my mother's last
name when I was 20.
Oh... Did you?
I see.
Oh, thanks.
Se Ra thinks that...
she got elected
due to her hard work,
but it's all because you
looked out for her, Maeng Duk.
Thank you so much.
Don't say that. She worked hard.
Someone said she
got a job as a favor.
Wasn't that your doing, sir?
My gosh. Why would I do that?
It would all come
back to bite me.
My son must be very
interested in your daughter.
You change your mind too easily.
You said to me last time.
"Seo Gong Myung..."
"is not my son."
I apologize. I should leave.
Excuse me.
Where did he go?
Gong Myung ran away from home?
Put on a jacket.
Let's help look for him.
Se Ra?
Don't worry. Come to my place.
I can't because...
If you're afraid, give
me a little of your fear.
In return, I'll give you...
Se Ra! Gong Myung!
Gong Myung is coming to my home!
You can go to yours!
I won't send him home!
Hey.
Cho Gong Myung.
Darn it.
You can't leave like...
Leave me alone.
When someone
asks me about family,
I say both my parents are dead.
When my mom died,
I decided to think
that my dad is...
not of this world either.
If I'd known he'd be coming,
I wouldn't have come here.
You can do this, Goo Se Ra.
I'd like to approve the
report you all received.
Do any of you object?
- No.
- No, I don't.
Very well, then.
As there were no objections,
I announce that the
ordinance bill is passed.
Next on the agenda.
It's about gathering a special
committee on budget and accounts.
My name. Where did it go?
I had to share...
my work with many seniors too.
This is common.
This is common? It's a robbery.
What did Mr. Go do?
He'll help me create
and enforce policies...
Then you should name everyone
in the social welfare department...
and everyone who works at
the community service center.
You know you're not
making any sense, right?
You're right. But...
if I were you, I
wouldn't make a fuss.
In whatever way, you
must create allies...
to bide your time.
Consider this sharing.
"Sharing" is a word...
that better suits
service and love.
It doesn't include
donating or recycling.
This is a robbery.
Do you get that?
Darn it.
My gosh. Did she lock the door?
Did she lock me out here?
Ms. Goo! Goo Se Ra! Hey!
My gosh.
Ms. Goo.
Must you be so greedy instead of
trying to learn from your seniors?
I'm being greedy?
Being greedy is taking a free
ride on someone else's hard work.
I'm the vice chairperson
of Mawon-gu.
Are you defying the
deputy chairman?
You're making a big mistake!
This isn't a big mistake.
I haven't even made
a small mistake.
You're a rookie and you
don't know how things work.
Half of the representatives
don't propose...
even one bill in a year.
And Chairman Cho.
All his ideas are
thanks to his secretary.
And you know Mr. Heo...
who bragged that he
passed five bills last year.
He just stole that content
from an official report.
And Mr. Shim?
He steals ordinance bills from
both parties like it's nothing.
What a total joke.
Compared to them,
I'm very well mannered.
I added Ms. Yoon's
name at least.
Well-mannered, my darned foot.
I wondered why
Mawon-gu was broke,
and you were the ones
who stole all our money.
What?
You pathetic losers
who steal other's ideas...
and take all the credit.
What? Steal? Losers?
My goodness.
Say that again.
Come on, say it again.
You people are
all pathetic losers.
I'll repeat that.
You are all pathetic losers.
Let's think about
this realistically.
Let me see.
I guess you need some money.
We can help each other
out using various methods.
You don't have to
get so emotional.
No matter what it is, I'm
not cutting a deal with you!
- Come on...
- You little...
- What are you doing?
- Are you scared?
Ms. Goo. Hey!
Mr. Go told me he even
received Chairman Cho's approval.
What choice did I have?
Is Chairman Cho that powerful?
It's like that around here.
There are no exceptions.
Don't act like you're a victim.
The one who feels the most
wronged right now is Ms. Goo.
Deputy Director Seo.
Thank you for receiving
my phone call...
and opening the
door to the rooftop.
But weren't you demoted
to the District Assembly...
after getting cocky
in front of the chief?
What's that attitude?
You're not in a position
to give me advice.
Do you only receive
advice from your superiors?
You could've stopped this from
the beginning, but you didn't.
Since you wanted
to gain something too.
What should I eat?
I guess you enjoyed it.
To make you come
all the way here.
What was that earlier
about the ordinance bill?
Everything is on sale now.
Just 10 bucks for 3 packs.
You should grab some too.
Since you locked Ms.
Yoon on the rooftop,
- that means you didn't know.
- Is the japchae sold out?
You're lucky Ms. Yoon
had her phone with her.
If not...
I should've taken her
phone too. I forgot.
- Hey, what...
- It happens commonly.
She said it
happens all the time.
She said it's
something like sharing.
I went to ask Mr. Go about it,
and he asked me to
make a presentation...
for a National Assembly meeting.
You know, just like Steve Jobs.
I demanded a ton of
money, and he said okay.
So we agreed on signing
an outsourcing contract.
Ma'am, I'll take these.
- Okay.
- Don't you have any pride?
You'll do anything for money?
Yes.
I don't have any pride and
will do anything for money.
I have a debt of
50,000 to pay back.
No. You need to become
more honest with yourself.
It's not just because
of the money.
People were mistaken
that you abstained,
and the progressive party
is welcoming you now,
and you received a chance
to pass an ordinance bill.
You just don't
want to give that up.
Am I wrong?
Thank you.
You really have
a knack for things.
A knack for insulting
someone more...
when she's been
insulted enough already.
I don't have any pride and
will do anything for money.
I have a debt of
50,000 to pay back.
How could she have a
debt of 50,000 at this age?
It tastes...
different.
No. You need to become
more honest with yourself.
It's not just because
of the money.
People were mistaken
that you abstained,
and the progressive party
is welcoming you now,
and you received a chance
to pass an ordinance bill.
You just don't
want to give that up.
Am I wrong?
That keen jerk.
You should've
sent the final file...
three hours prior
to the presentation.
Why? Is there a law
that requires me to do so?
Didn't you become polite to
someone who said they'll pay you?
You better shut your mouth.
If you keep blabbering, I
might really beat you up.
Come on, give it.
Here.
Don't make a mistake
and play it properly.
That little...
Hello, everyone.
I'm Go Dong Chan,
the vice chairperson...
of Mawon-gu District Assembly...
and the member of
Dagachi Progressive Party.
Mawon-gu has focused on a
method to prevent child abuse...
and protect them.
Just through a single call,
the victim protection process
can become fully functional...
through a one-stop
service system.
Please refer to the screen.
Ms. Goo.
- What is this?
- Must you be so greedy...
instead of trying to
learn from your seniors?
- What? What is this?
- I'm being greedy?
Being greedy is
taking a free ride...
- on someone else's hard work.
- Hey, turn it off...
Turn it off!
- Turn it off now!
- Think about this realistically.
I guess you need some money.
- Money?
- We can help each other out...
using various methods.
- No! No.
- You don't...
have to get so emotional.
It's a lie.
- No matter what it
is, - Goo Se Ra, you...
I'm not cutting a deal with you!
Darn it.
This isn't true. There's
been a misunderstanding.
- We worked hard on this.
- You pathetic losers.
- Mawon-gu is...
- You people are all...
- pathetic losers!
- ready to prevent...
and protect the children...
- You pathetic losers.
- No!
- What are you doing?
- You pathetic losers!
I'll repeat that.
- Move!
- You people are all...
- How do I turn this off?
- pathetic losers!
- Why isn't it turning off?
- You pathetic losers!
Come on! Turn it off!
You didn't even reply
when I sent the address...
so I thought you went home.
Mr. Go says you're dead
when he gets his hands on you.
What will he do?
Tell those jerks to
watch their backs at night.
When did you record all of that?
Recording an uncomfortable
one-on-one conversation...
with a superior at work...
is a basic rule.
Do you think
he'll let this slide?
He'll probably mention the
dignity of representatives...
and try to fire you desperately.
If I get fired,
can I get unemployment benefits?
Goodness, do you know how
big a bomb you just dropped?
I have nothing to rely on.
You know,
like a colleague whom you
hate but have to work with,
or a walking path you visit
with a cup of coffee after lunch.
Or even a coffee machine
or a water purifier with ice.
They say you should like...
at least something to
stay at that workplace.
There's nothing to like here.
How about you?
I bet you don't
like anything either.
Hey.
It's your fault.
You hit my conscience
where it hurt.
If you hadn't,
I'd have let it go,
taken the money,
and the next time...
I'd have worked on my
real first ordinance bill.
1, 2, 1, 2, let's go.
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred... Repeat after me!
Tell me.
Whose side are you on?
Why not just take my side?
Are we in elementary
school? To take sides?
We joined at the same time
and you don't care for me?
Then how about this? Listen.
I will share my
heart for you to keep.
You can share your
heart for me to keep.
We look after
each other's heart...
and that way we'll never
lose it. How about that?
Yes?
My bag.
I want it back.
Darn it.
I kept it!
I took it and kept it!
Why is she like that?
According to Article 36 of
the Local Government Act,
a district representative's
duty, Clause two,
a district representative
must have integrity,
and must act with class,
according to their status.
You're smiling? How dare
you smile in this situation?
I believe that
integrity means...
to not steal from others
even if they might starve.
Class...
is to beat up a thief...
to protect myself.
- What?
- My gosh.
She's funny.
Therefore, regarding what
happened at the recent presentation...
My left chest.
My right chest.
I can put my hands
on both and still say...
I feel no guilt.
Goodness.
Another conversation
happened that you didn't hear.
Half of the representatives
don't propose...
even one bill in a year.
And Chairman Cho.
All his ideas are
thanks to his secretary.
No, sir.
Mr. Heo who bragged that
he passed five bills last year.
He just stole that content
from an official report.
That's not true.
And Mr. Shim? He
steals ordinance bills...
- Me?
- Not at all.
I did what?
Will you calm down?
Give me a chance to explain.
That's all edited to
make me look bad!
That's what it is.
- I...
- My gosh.
I didn't...
You...
You see that I did think of...
what little honor
you people have left.
The void vote on
the municipal bonds.
That wasn't mine.
- What?
- What?
I voted that we issue the bonds.
- What?
- She voted yes?
How come...
Then...
Then it was me?
You think it was me?
It was me? Was it?
- It wasn't.
- It wasn't me.
It wasn't me either.
What happened?
Who was it then?
My goodness...
What is this?
The cause of the
problem got three days...
and Se Ra who exposed
him got 10 times the penalty?
That's because Ms. Goo
refused to apologize in public.
She'll become an outcast again.
She takes the rough
path voluntarily.
Yes, this is Goo Se Ra.
A young man placed
five orders for me?
Yes. He sounded pretty young.
Anyway, you'll
get your basic pay.
Okay. Thank you.
A young man...
Gong Myung?
You got back late last night.
I saw...
Se Ra and the civil
servant guy walk together.
- Together?
- Together?
We had dinner together,
and he walked me back.
- Dinner together?
- Dinner together?
We're elementary school
friends and current colleagues.
Nothing more, nothing less.
You overestimate your value.
I thought it's something less.
I thought it's something more.
Did the green vegetable juice
fairy fly in on a breeze of love?
Darn you.
Even a typhoon with
126km per hour winds...
won't push me
toward him. No way.
She will probably get
back with Min Jae again.
Rinse and repeat.
She never learns.
That won't happen!
And this time, I
asked to break up!
You just blurted it out...
and Min Jae jumped
at it as if he was waiting.
Don't bet on my love life.
How much?
I said no betting!
Thanks for the
green vegetable juice.
You bought enough for all five
of my family. You're so generous.
A friend I know started selling
them and I wanted to help.
No pressure at all on you.
Sure.
Thank you.
I should thank the green
vegetable juice fairy.
Gong Myung.
Why place five juice orders
when you don't have much money...
I'll call you back.
What? Okay.
Gong...
Goodbye.
Bye.
Hey, your older
friend can drink...
What is this? What is this for?
What is it?
It's to celebrate the passing
of your first ordinance bill.
You said you always
eat blueberry yogurt cake.
Who knows I worked on it...
when my name
isn't even on the bill?
I do. I know it.
I know it.
That's all.
Hey. This isn't
at all big enough.
I'll have to eat it all myself.
It's good.
- Have some.
- No.
- Go on.
- No.
Isn't it tasty?
Gosh.
You exhaust me
whenever you're like this.
The reason you're exhausted...
isn't me but Yoon Hee Su.
What relationship?
They're flirting.
I take that and double
the bet that they're flirting.
Your friend who
saw the tragedy...
from afar loves him alone.
It's not unrequited
love! It's not.
Shall we get a shot of food...
Food makes me drowsy.
- What do you think of me?
- Pardon?
I'd like Deputy Director
Seo to accompany me.
Can you?
ago for the great salary,
but it looks like
they won't pay me.
I worked really,
really hard to get in.
What should I do?
Does the company have no money?
I would like to make a suggestion
to the respective representatives.
All 13 of Mawon-gu's
district representatives...
should be a good example.
Until our finances
are back on track,
we shall take no pay...
to share the pain
with the voters.
My pay.
What happens to my pay?
Chairman Cho. Sir.
Take back what you said earlier.
Your building's tenants pay
you the rent every month,
so your representative salary may
be petty change to you, but not to me.
I really need to
be paid. I must.
Do you think the
residents voted for you...
just so you'd get paid?
Now that you're on
Mawon-gu District Assembly,
you must share
the responsibility.
Good luck.
I'm sure the void vote
was worth something.
Well done.
Darn you. How could you?
Ms. Goo.
What do I do now?
Darn it.
I thought you braced yourself
when you decided to abstain.
How did you think of stamping
it in the middle to abstain?
Were you trying to
imply you're neutral?
No.
I didn't abstain!
I have to get paid.
Let's not forget why I ran to
be a district representative.
Hey, I never promised
to work for free.
I only want 50,000 dollars...
for my salary from the
yearly budget for Mawon-gu.
I already told the
people from the get-go.
I made myself very
clear in advance!
Besides, am I the only
one who wants to get paid?
It's important for everyone.
Listen. How poorly did
they distribute the budget?
How could we have nothing
left from all of our tax money?
How could our
district be penniless?
Did I use up all the money?
Why are you yelling at me?
You should have talked to Chief
Won. You missed your chance.
By the way,
who abstained if you didn't?
How would I know? Move!
We can't let...
that independent
district representative...
to have sway over
our important agenda.
We cannot.
This year is important
for both of us.
This has to be ready
before the election.
Of course.
While I tend to
business in-house,
why don't you...
take care of
urgent matters first?
It was me who abstained.
Wait, does it mean Ms. Goo...
She was in favor of it.
She ran for office
for the annual salary.
I knew she'd vote for it.
Let's watch how Chief
Won will handle this.
Ms. Goo is learning her
way faster than I thought.
I'm not sure.
You're being generous
with your evaluation.
My dearest civil
servants of Mawon-gu,
I would like to thank
you for your hard work...
to elevate our district for
the better day and night.
I wanted to settle...
the sundry payments by
issuing more municipal bonds.
But as the District
Assembly didn't see it fit,
my agenda fell through.
What about my mortgage loan?
As a result, for the
next six months,
30 percent of
Mawon-gu Office's...
civil servants' salaries
will be deferred.
At a moment like this,
I ask you to work
harmoniously and diligently.
"Resigning is the only way."
"You're in deep trouble
if they can't pay you."
"Resigning is the only way."
Get a grip, Ms. Goo.
If you quit now,
- you'll be giving up your position.
- Give up my position?
If you quit now, you
should leave Mawon-gu.
"Leave"?
Darn it. When I was
bouncing around jobs,
I always got paid on time.
This is good for you though.
District representatives
can have a side job.
Apply for a job.
But I don't have time.
I can only work early in
the morning and at night.
Mr. My Previous Boss.
Do you want to hang
out with me again?
I like my current babysitter.
Why are you using honorifics?
Listen. I can't get a job because
people can recognize me.
You think you're famous.
Go away. Go.
They make the perfect team.
You can't get in between them.
Darn it.
How am I going
to pay for my food?
How am I going to
pay back my debt?
Darn it. This is
driving me crazy.
Darn it.
Darn.
No.
I didn't abstain!
Gosh, she's so straightforward.
Then, does it mean there's
a district representative...
who was against issuing
the municipal bonds?
We ought to take care of our safety
and health before something happens.
- Right?
- Yes.
You should drink it up.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I brought a lost child.
Hey, Gong.
How dare you look at
me like that? It's rude.
What's up...
with your outfit?
Oh, this.
I have a new job.
I can deliver them for four hours a
day. Once I hit the minimum sales,
I'll get paid 1,000
dollars a month.
You have so many talents.
Excuse me. This child was
at a park alone this morning.
Kid, what's your name?
I'm a police officer.
Answer my question.
What's your name? Do
you live around here?
Well...
Move.
Here.
If you don't drink this
now, I'll give it to him.
One,
two...
There you go.
Gosh.
Let's sit down and drink this.
What's your name?
Stay far away from me.
Hey, I need to go this way too.
I'm going to work.
By the way, you were so nice
to bring that lost boy home...
this morning.
He wasn't lost.
He ran away from home.
What?
Darn it.
- Hey.
- What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Hey.
What was that?
If you steal from this bag,
three generations of
your family will be unlucky.
I guess that's how
you guys settled it.
What do you mean?
You and Kim Min Jae.
If you run into each
other, you'll pretend...
to not know each other
and keep things professional.
But it looks like your boyfriend
doesn't know you're delivering...
green vegetable
juice in the morning.
Hey.
You're not supposed to rely on
your friends or family to do sales.
I dated him for nine years.
It's my last ounce
of pride I have.
You dated him for nine years?
Why?
Why do you think?
Because I loved him.
No.
I want to know
how Mr. Kim dated...
someone like you.
Why do you think he dated you?
Why you little...
Do you feel more
comfortable around me now?
You're awfully curious today.
Why don't you go
work with that passion?
You should help me work too.
You have bloodshot
eyes. You must be tired.
I have some green
vegetable juice for your fatigue.
I hope you really become
rich with all that work.
Just 40 dollars a month.
I'll give you a discount.
40 dollars, my foot.
I'll give you a discount.
I don't want a discount!
Did you have lunch?
Not yet.
I have.
Can you do some research for me?
Oh, I'll prepare
it by tomorrow...
I need it by today.
Please focus on this.
By the way,
you weren't part of the
council secretariat before, right?
I worked in Planning and
Budgeting for two years...
and two months in
the service center.
I see. I'll see you
again, Mr. Seo.
Red suits you well.
Sir, are you having a long day?
How are your bowels?
How about trying some
green vegetable juice...
that's good for your bowels?
I'm not buying.
Come on, don't
think of it as buying,
but rather an investment.
Hey, hey.
How about it? I'll give it
to you on a special offer.
No, thanks.
Come on.
I told you I'm not buying.
Come on, why not?
What's wrong with you?
Goo Se Ra!
Dad?
What are you doing here?
I'm Se Ra's dad, Goo Yeong Tae.
I guess...
you're Kim Min Jae,
who's dating my daughter.
Dad, you got it
wrong. It's not him.
It's not?
How could you be
flirting with a guy...
this late when he's not
even your boyfriend?
Who are you then?
I'm Gong Myung, sir.
It's been a long time.
Gong Myung. You know,
my friend when we were kids.
Your friend's son.
He's not even my type either.
Why are you here?
This doesn't concern you.
I'm just interested
in various areas.
Where's Ms. Yoon?
You're sitting in her seat.
Darn it.
Let's begin article seven,
the ordinance bill on supporting
transportation expenses...
for low-income college
students in Mawon-gu.
Let's hear the opinion of
the Administration Division.
Head of social welfare.
What's the expected budget?
Yes, we've allocated 540
dollars a year for 210 students...
which adds up to
113.4 thousand dollars...
for the year 2021.
113.4 thousand...
Goodness, do we
have the money for that?
I mean...
It'll be nice to give them
money if we can afford it,
but you all know that
Mawon-gu doesn't have money.
Also, why is it 540 dollars?
How did you come
up with this number?
Well, we considered
the round trip costs...
for adults...
You see, I knew it.
You said they're
college students.
You should've calculated
the student fare then.
College students
pay the adult fare too.
Just saying.
The general bus fare for
Seoul in cash is 1.3 dollars...
and for credit cards,
it's 1.2 dollars.
Listen. If we pay them
this money with cash,
they won't use it
for transportation,
but for something else.
Young kids these days...
even pay 300 dollars a
night for drinks. Am I wrong?
Excuse me.
The minimum
wage is 8.59 dollars.
What are you saying?
Even if they work 4 hours
a day for 24 days a month,
they can't even make a
thousand dollars a month.
So what kind of
crazy college student...
will use 300 dollars
in one night for drinks?
As long as they received
formal school education,
I doubt anyone
would think that way.
What are you talking about?
What I mean is...
why do our country
and our government...
have to take care of people
who aren't actually broke?
Goodness, that will be all.
This is Officer Kim from Mawon
Community Security Center.
I'd like to request a month of
green vegetable juice delivery.
We need to keep public peace
and our health when we can.
We also have to protect
the dreams of people,
even if we're not sure
if they're broke or not.
Let's consider it an investment
for the education of Mawon-gu.
Investment, my foot.
Why don't you just say you
don't want to pay? Goodness.
My gosh.
Let's go for lunch.
Yes, okay.
I'd like to thank you...
regarding the vote to issue
municipal bonds last time.
Actually, I didn't do anything.
Everyone...
was worried you
might have voted yes.
Actually, I didn't abstain...
Like you saw earlier,
in order to get a bill passed,
you need people on your side.
Since you're not a
member of a party,
it's very important to meet
colleagues who will side with you.
With that being said,
how about gathering some
young representatives...
to make a joint motion?
A joint motion?
Yes, Officer. I've
confirmed your delivery.
By the way,
what happened to that
lost kid that morning?
He wasn't lost but just
ran away from home.
His dad came and
dragged him home,
and we had no choice
since he was the father.
I see.
Okay, have a good day then.
He wasn't lost.
He ran away from home.
Good luck. Yes!
Really?
Now, I'll explain about
the ordinance bill...
on promoting neighborhood
undercover agents.
In supermarkets,
convenience stores,
stationery stores, comic
book stores, and internet cafes,
there are many business
owners who see children often.
We will appoint them...
as secret undercover agents...
that will protect the
children of Mawon-gu.
When they see a kid
who's been abused,
they can report it.
Gosh.
Hey, come over here.
Whenever there's a missing
child or a victim of school violence,
their stores can be used
as temporary shelters too.
But what is the standard for
selecting those businesses?
If you consider the number of
children that use their services,
it's hard to exclude
conglomerates.
They'll just take advantage
and hog up all the benefits.
You must need
more time to think.
Did you go over
my ordinance bill?
Yes, I did.
There are many
similarities to...
Seoul's 2017 ordinance on
the protection and support of...
female victims of violence
and the 2019 ordinance on...
the prevention of child abuse.
So you checked the
existing ordinances.
We made enough improvements.
You mean the obligation
to keep a secret, right?
"Staff must treat victims
as human beings,"
"and must not share information
gained during an investigation."
I honestly really thought this
was awesomely incredible.
That darn diary.
Diary!
That was great! Let's
keep this party going...
I should just...
How dare you evaluate my work?
If not for Mr. Bong Chu San,
I wouldn't even sit at
the same table with you.
Darn you.
I emailed the
information you requested.
Please check.
Seo Gong Myung.
He's still at work, right?
You're leaving late.
Yes.
Where do you live?
If it's on the way...
It's fine. I'll take the bus.
Taking a bus after a long
day will drain you further.
I'm drained because
you made me work late.
You ask me to do
all sorts of research...
as if I'm your
personal assistant.
I thought it was
just about work.
But an excessively
tight deadline...
reduces the quality of research,
so keep that in mind. Goodbye.
It's here.
I noted a few amendments
to the ordinance bill.
Revise the file
and email it to me.
Someone here is a
huge fan of writing in red.
I emailed the
information you requested.
Please check.
Dear Mawon-gu residents.
Please give blood.
Donating blood is love.
Do some good.
- Please give blood.
- Please give blood.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- The ordinance bill...
you're working on with Ms. Goo.
I heard it's almost done.
I'd like to revise
just a few letters.
Please give blood.
- Such as?
- Like...
Oh. Give blood. Goodbye.
The proposer's name.
Please give blood.
You want a free ride on a bill
that hasn't even passed yet?
It's not a free ride.
I want to tag along with you.
I thought we were aiming
for the National Assembly.
Hello. Please give
blood. Thank you.
Donating blood is love.
I discussed it with
Chairman Cho.
Do I have to do what he says?
- Thank you.
- Come on.
You let a rookie...
go to the National
Assembly as her first project?
You'll spoil her.
- Please give blood.
- Give blood.
To be frank, you don't
like Goo Se Ra much.
Because of what happened
before the by-election.
Please give blood.
Donating blood is love.
Representatives,
how about a photo?
Stand next to each other.
1, 2, 3.
Hello...
Leave it by the door!
I'm not a delivery guy.
- My gosh.
- I'm sorry.
Mom got excited
about winning a prize...
and ended up shelling out
more money than she won.
Still, it was a
special discount.
Hello.
- Are you doing okay?
- Yes.
I remembered that
you liked these flowers.
Gosh. You have
such a great memory.
I say it hundreds of times...
and the Goos
never listen or care.
- It's a bit heavy.
- Sorry.
Why don't you put it down there?
You're so tall.
And well-built.
You were a picky eater...
and your mom worried so
much that you wouldn't grow tall.
I heard what happened
to your mom much later.
You've grown nicely.
- You look great.
- Thanks.
Why did you cook so much?
I wanted to feed you
good home-cooked food.
Don't believe her. Half of it
was ordered from this place.
We bought it with the
money I worked hard to earn.
This food is worth
a million dollars.
I see.
Show him around the house.
It's so small he can turn
on the spot and see it all.
Chat in your room and
come when I call you.
- Go on, then.
- Okay.
Since when were
you my dad's friend?
If I'd known sooner...
Would you have
cleaned your room?
I'd have told you
what cake to buy.
Remember. I always
eat blueberry yogurt cake.
Is this the ordinance bill you're
working on with Representative Yoon?
Yes. We're making
some final revisions.
Why play, right?
Listen carefully.
One, until dinner is ready,
we give out leaflets to promote
the green vegetable juice.
Two, we sit here in comfort,
with our legs crossed,
and check the
printout for typos.
- Number two.
- Good choice.
I want to get this passed
and be acknowledged.
As a real district
representative and a colleague.
Can I do that?
Are you listening?
Darn you.
- I'm home.
- Dad is home.
I brought Maeng Duk.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Thank you.
- Come and sit down.
Hi.
Why did you prepare so much?
Hello.
Don't you want to brag
about your smart son...
to the Mawon-gu Office people?
Cho Maeng Duk, Cho Gong Myung.
Quick-witted
people might notice.
I'm waiting for the right
time to shock everyone.
I'm Seo Gong Myung,
not Cho Gong Myung.
I took my mother's last
name when I was 20.
Oh... Did you?
I see.
Oh, thanks.
Se Ra thinks that...
she got elected
due to her hard work,
but it's all because you
looked out for her, Maeng Duk.
Thank you so much.
Don't say that. She worked hard.
Someone said she
got a job as a favor.
Wasn't that your doing, sir?
My gosh. Why would I do that?
It would all come
back to bite me.
My son must be very
interested in your daughter.
You change your mind too easily.
You said to me last time.
"Seo Gong Myung..."
"is not my son."
I apologize. I should leave.
Excuse me.
Where did he go?
Gong Myung ran away from home?
Put on a jacket.
Let's help look for him.
Se Ra?
Don't worry. Come to my place.
I can't because...
If you're afraid, give
me a little of your fear.
In return, I'll give you...
Se Ra! Gong Myung!
Gong Myung is coming to my home!
You can go to yours!
I won't send him home!
Hey.
Cho Gong Myung.
Darn it.
You can't leave like...
Leave me alone.
When someone
asks me about family,
I say both my parents are dead.
When my mom died,
I decided to think
that my dad is...
not of this world either.
If I'd known he'd be coming,
I wouldn't have come here.
You can do this, Goo Se Ra.
I'd like to approve the
report you all received.
Do any of you object?
- No.
- No, I don't.
Very well, then.
As there were no objections,
I announce that the
ordinance bill is passed.
Next on the agenda.
It's about gathering a special
committee on budget and accounts.
My name. Where did it go?
I had to share...
my work with many seniors too.
This is common.
This is common? It's a robbery.
What did Mr. Go do?
He'll help me create
and enforce policies...
Then you should name everyone
in the social welfare department...
and everyone who works at
the community service center.
You know you're not
making any sense, right?
You're right. But...
if I were you, I
wouldn't make a fuss.
In whatever way, you
must create allies...
to bide your time.
Consider this sharing.
"Sharing" is a word...
that better suits
service and love.
It doesn't include
donating or recycling.
This is a robbery.
Do you get that?
Darn it.
My gosh. Did she lock the door?
Did she lock me out here?
Ms. Goo! Goo Se Ra! Hey!
My gosh.
Ms. Goo.
Must you be so greedy instead of
trying to learn from your seniors?
I'm being greedy?
Being greedy is taking a free
ride on someone else's hard work.
I'm the vice chairperson
of Mawon-gu.
Are you defying the
deputy chairman?
You're making a big mistake!
This isn't a big mistake.
I haven't even made
a small mistake.
You're a rookie and you
don't know how things work.
Half of the representatives
don't propose...
even one bill in a year.
And Chairman Cho.
All his ideas are
thanks to his secretary.
And you know Mr. Heo...
who bragged that he
passed five bills last year.
He just stole that content
from an official report.
And Mr. Shim?
He steals ordinance bills from
both parties like it's nothing.
What a total joke.
Compared to them,
I'm very well mannered.
I added Ms. Yoon's
name at least.
Well-mannered, my darned foot.
I wondered why
Mawon-gu was broke,
and you were the ones
who stole all our money.
What?
You pathetic losers
who steal other's ideas...
and take all the credit.
What? Steal? Losers?
My goodness.
Say that again.
Come on, say it again.
You people are
all pathetic losers.
I'll repeat that.
You are all pathetic losers.
Let's think about
this realistically.
Let me see.
I guess you need some money.
We can help each other
out using various methods.
You don't have to
get so emotional.
No matter what it is, I'm
not cutting a deal with you!
- Come on...
- You little...
- What are you doing?
- Are you scared?
Ms. Goo. Hey!
Mr. Go told me he even
received Chairman Cho's approval.
What choice did I have?
Is Chairman Cho that powerful?
It's like that around here.
There are no exceptions.
Don't act like you're a victim.
The one who feels the most
wronged right now is Ms. Goo.
Deputy Director Seo.
Thank you for receiving
my phone call...
and opening the
door to the rooftop.
But weren't you demoted
to the District Assembly...
after getting cocky
in front of the chief?
What's that attitude?
You're not in a position
to give me advice.
Do you only receive
advice from your superiors?
You could've stopped this from
the beginning, but you didn't.
Since you wanted
to gain something too.
What should I eat?
I guess you enjoyed it.
To make you come
all the way here.
What was that earlier
about the ordinance bill?
Everything is on sale now.
Just 10 bucks for 3 packs.
You should grab some too.
Since you locked Ms.
Yoon on the rooftop,
- that means you didn't know.
- Is the japchae sold out?
You're lucky Ms. Yoon
had her phone with her.
If not...
I should've taken her
phone too. I forgot.
- Hey, what...
- It happens commonly.
She said it
happens all the time.
She said it's
something like sharing.
I went to ask Mr. Go about it,
and he asked me to
make a presentation...
for a National Assembly meeting.
You know, just like Steve Jobs.
I demanded a ton of
money, and he said okay.
So we agreed on signing
an outsourcing contract.
Ma'am, I'll take these.
- Okay.
- Don't you have any pride?
You'll do anything for money?
Yes.
I don't have any pride and
will do anything for money.
I have a debt of
50,000 to pay back.
No. You need to become
more honest with yourself.
It's not just because
of the money.
People were mistaken
that you abstained,
and the progressive party
is welcoming you now,
and you received a chance
to pass an ordinance bill.
You just don't
want to give that up.
Am I wrong?
Thank you.
You really have
a knack for things.
A knack for insulting
someone more...
when she's been
insulted enough already.
I don't have any pride and
will do anything for money.
I have a debt of
50,000 to pay back.
How could she have a
debt of 50,000 at this age?
It tastes...
different.
No. You need to become
more honest with yourself.
It's not just because
of the money.
People were mistaken
that you abstained,
and the progressive party
is welcoming you now,
and you received a chance
to pass an ordinance bill.
You just don't
want to give that up.
Am I wrong?
That keen jerk.
You should've
sent the final file...
three hours prior
to the presentation.
Why? Is there a law
that requires me to do so?
Didn't you become polite to
someone who said they'll pay you?
You better shut your mouth.
If you keep blabbering, I
might really beat you up.
Come on, give it.
Here.
Don't make a mistake
and play it properly.
That little...
Hello, everyone.
I'm Go Dong Chan,
the vice chairperson...
of Mawon-gu District Assembly...
and the member of
Dagachi Progressive Party.
Mawon-gu has focused on a
method to prevent child abuse...
and protect them.
Just through a single call,
the victim protection process
can become fully functional...
through a one-stop
service system.
Please refer to the screen.
Ms. Goo.
- What is this?
- Must you be so greedy...
instead of trying to
learn from your seniors?
- What? What is this?
- I'm being greedy?
Being greedy is
taking a free ride...
- on someone else's hard work.
- Hey, turn it off...
Turn it off!
- Turn it off now!
- Think about this realistically.
I guess you need some money.
- Money?
- We can help each other out...
using various methods.
- No! No.
- You don't...
have to get so emotional.
It's a lie.
- No matter what it
is, - Goo Se Ra, you...
I'm not cutting a deal with you!
Darn it.
This isn't true. There's
been a misunderstanding.
- We worked hard on this.
- You pathetic losers.
- Mawon-gu is...
- You people are all...
- pathetic losers!
- ready to prevent...
and protect the children...
- You pathetic losers.
- No!
- What are you doing?
- You pathetic losers!
I'll repeat that.
- Move!
- You people are all...
- How do I turn this off?
- pathetic losers!
- Why isn't it turning off?
- You pathetic losers!
Come on! Turn it off!
You didn't even reply
when I sent the address...
so I thought you went home.
Mr. Go says you're dead
when he gets his hands on you.
What will he do?
Tell those jerks to
watch their backs at night.
When did you record all of that?
Recording an uncomfortable
one-on-one conversation...
with a superior at work...
is a basic rule.
Do you think
he'll let this slide?
He'll probably mention the
dignity of representatives...
and try to fire you desperately.
If I get fired,
can I get unemployment benefits?
Goodness, do you know how
big a bomb you just dropped?
I have nothing to rely on.
You know,
like a colleague whom you
hate but have to work with,
or a walking path you visit
with a cup of coffee after lunch.
Or even a coffee machine
or a water purifier with ice.
They say you should like...
at least something to
stay at that workplace.
There's nothing to like here.
How about you?
I bet you don't
like anything either.
Hey.
It's your fault.
You hit my conscience
where it hurt.
If you hadn't,
I'd have let it go,
taken the money,
and the next time...
I'd have worked on my
real first ordinance bill.
1, 2, 1, 2, let's go.
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred dollar bills
Hundred... Repeat after me!
Tell me.
Whose side are you on?
Why not just take my side?
Are we in elementary
school? To take sides?
We joined at the same time
and you don't care for me?
Then how about this? Listen.
I will share my
heart for you to keep.
You can share your
heart for me to keep.
We look after
each other's heart...
and that way we'll never
lose it. How about that?
Yes?
My bag.
I want it back.
Darn it.
I kept it!
I took it and kept it!
Why is she like that?
According to Article 36 of
the Local Government Act,
a district representative's
duty, Clause two,
a district representative
must have integrity,
and must act with class,
according to their status.
You're smiling? How dare
you smile in this situation?
I believe that
integrity means...
to not steal from others
even if they might starve.
Class...
is to beat up a thief...
to protect myself.
- What?
- My gosh.
She's funny.
Therefore, regarding what
happened at the recent presentation...
My left chest.
My right chest.
I can put my hands
on both and still say...
I feel no guilt.
Goodness.
Another conversation
happened that you didn't hear.
Half of the representatives
don't propose...
even one bill in a year.
And Chairman Cho.
All his ideas are
thanks to his secretary.
No, sir.
Mr. Heo who bragged that
he passed five bills last year.
He just stole that content
from an official report.
That's not true.
And Mr. Shim? He
steals ordinance bills...
- Me?
- Not at all.
I did what?
Will you calm down?
Give me a chance to explain.
That's all edited to
make me look bad!
That's what it is.
- I...
- My gosh.
I didn't...
You...
You see that I did think of...
what little honor
you people have left.
The void vote on
the municipal bonds.
That wasn't mine.
- What?
- What?
I voted that we issue the bonds.
- What?
- She voted yes?
How come...
Then...
Then it was me?
You think it was me?
It was me? Was it?
- It wasn't.
- It wasn't me.
It wasn't me either.
What happened?
Who was it then?
My goodness...
What is this?
The cause of the
problem got three days...
and Se Ra who exposed
him got 10 times the penalty?
That's because Ms. Goo
refused to apologize in public.
She'll become an outcast again.
She takes the rough
path voluntarily.
Yes, this is Goo Se Ra.
A young man placed
five orders for me?
Yes. He sounded pretty young.
Anyway, you'll
get your basic pay.
Okay. Thank you.
A young man...
Gong Myung?
You got back late last night.
I saw...
Se Ra and the civil
servant guy walk together.
- Together?
- Together?
We had dinner together,
and he walked me back.
- Dinner together?
- Dinner together?
We're elementary school
friends and current colleagues.
Nothing more, nothing less.
You overestimate your value.
I thought it's something less.
I thought it's something more.
Did the green vegetable juice
fairy fly in on a breeze of love?
Darn you.
Even a typhoon with
126km per hour winds...
won't push me
toward him. No way.
She will probably get
back with Min Jae again.
Rinse and repeat.
She never learns.
That won't happen!
And this time, I
asked to break up!
You just blurted it out...
and Min Jae jumped
at it as if he was waiting.
Don't bet on my love life.
How much?
I said no betting!
Thanks for the
green vegetable juice.
You bought enough for all five
of my family. You're so generous.
A friend I know started selling
them and I wanted to help.
No pressure at all on you.
Sure.
Thank you.
I should thank the green
vegetable juice fairy.
Gong Myung.
Why place five juice orders
when you don't have much money...
I'll call you back.
What? Okay.
Gong...
Goodbye.
Bye.
Hey, your older
friend can drink...
What is this? What is this for?
What is it?
It's to celebrate the passing
of your first ordinance bill.
You said you always
eat blueberry yogurt cake.
Who knows I worked on it...
when my name
isn't even on the bill?
I do. I know it.
I know it.
That's all.
Hey. This isn't
at all big enough.
I'll have to eat it all myself.
It's good.
- Have some.
- No.
- Go on.
- No.
Isn't it tasty?
Gosh.
You exhaust me
whenever you're like this.
The reason you're exhausted...
isn't me but Yoon Hee Su.
What relationship?
They're flirting.
I take that and double
the bet that they're flirting.
Your friend who
saw the tragedy...
from afar loves him alone.
It's not unrequited
love! It's not.
Shall we get a shot of food...
Food makes me drowsy.
- What do you think of me?
- Pardon?
I'd like Deputy Director
Seo to accompany me.
Can you?
