Into the Ring (2020): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript
Gong...
Goodbye.
Bye.
Hey. Can you not
do this late at night?
You exhaust me
whenever you're like this.
The reason you're exhausted...
isn't me but Yoon Hee Su.
It's not.
It is to me.
You know that witch mocked
your friend of 29 years!
Don't.
What 29 years?
You should take
off at least 20 years.
You... You got suspended,
and you have time to
read things like this?
Then what? Should I dig a
hole because I'm depressed?
Did you worry about me a little?
I didn't think much of you.
Why are you here? Do
you have business with me?
Business with you?
- No!
- Okay.
I was on my way home.
After seeing the worst sight.
He has such ordinary and shallow
standards when it comes to women.
1, 2, 3, 4 digits.
2,000.
That's it.
What relationship?
They're 100 percent flirting.
I take that and double
the bet that they're flirting.
200 percent.
Your friend who saw
the tragedy from afar...
loves him alone.
Is it unrequited love?
No, those two are just friends.
If they're really friends,
whether the guy dates
a witch or a cougar...
wouldn't upset
the girl that much.
She has been feeling
a bit lonely lately.
Tell her to eat bread, then.
Loneliness can be
cured with carbs.
Darn it. It's not
unrequited love!
Whatever. Darn it.
It's not. It is not.
Shoot.
I'll make money.
I'll do all sorts of jobs.
Tell her to eat bread, then.
Loneliness can be
cured with carbs.
Darn it.
How much bread must I eat?
Can't you make some toast
and ask me to have some bite?
Where's Mom?
A member of her
gathering is in hospital.
So she offered to watch
their store for a few months.
Is the district assembly
work manageable?
What?
Since when did you
care about my career?
Darn you.
- Shoot.
- Darn it.
Darn.
You get paid on the 20th, right?
Start paying rent again.
How could you?
No?
Then move out! Leave my house!
Everyone's kicking me out.
I'm being ditched big time.
Don't try to talk your way out.
And...
starting tonight, I
decided to exercise.
Tell Mom that when you see her.
Eat fried eggs too.
I have to eat carbs!
He...
likes her.
No...
way.
No way, Gong Myung.
As if.
Forget the keep. I deleted it.
She remembers.
How did you find out, Ms. Yoon?
Who threw away their votes
on issuing the municipal bonds.
- I don't know.
- Pardon?
You asked if I were curious
as to who cast the spoilt votes.
It was a question.
I never said I knew.
Do you know you're
quite easy to tease?
I don't know.
Gong Myung. Why...
- I'll call you back.
- What? Okay.
Goodbye, then.
Goodbye.
Darn it, my knee.
You said we don't work overtime.
Generally speaking.
Does Ms. Yoon usually
request so much research?
She decided to take a pay cut,
and she's even
working harder too.
How about...
we share the workload?
This attitude is frowned upon.
I'm your senior.
But still, I'm a deputy...
I'm suddenly so annoyed!
I'm a deputy...
My gosh.
I'm a deputy director.
Shoot.
Darn it.
Gosh.
Take the freight elevator,
not the staff elevator.
Oh, okay.
Did you have a drink last night?
Yes, a little.
Wild parsley detoxes your
liver and cures hangovers.
No, thanks.
Take a sip.
Not when I'm at work.
Go on.
It tastes okay, right?
I like it.
Right? This drink...
This is employment fraud.
How can I clean all five floors?
Darn it. Just my luck.
Ma'am, wait for me.
The door is closing.
Shoot.
Good shot.
The door is opening.
What?
The door is closing.
Darn you.
Mom?
Se Ra?
- The door is closing.
- This is crazy.
- Oh, dear.
- Ouch.
- It hurts.
- Goodness. You little...
Stop it.
You're hurting my neck.
Unclench your fists.
There you go. Well done.
Mom.
I worked like a dog...
to help my daughter
have a successful life.
But my daughter ended up...
Ended up what?
I'm selling a lot of
green vegetable juice.
Besides, did you expect me to
have a successful life with that?
I did!
You went through all that trouble
to become a district representative...
who can't even get paid.
Darn 50,000 dollars.
I completely fell
for that number.
Don't tell your dad.
Okay?
Okay. Of course.
Oh, right. I'll be coming home
late because of a part-time job.
He started exercising too.
What's the point of
exercising so late in his life?
He's been exercising here and
there. He seems excited these days.
What kind of part-time
job are you doing at night?
Ma'am, have a good day!
- Hey.
- You can do it.
Come back here.
What's your part-time job?
Hey!
Answer the call.
Hello?
Hello?
Sir, did you call
for a chauffeur?
- Hey.
- Yes.
No, I'm not a chauffeur.
I got promoted.
Where's your car?
- I'm a manager now. Manager Kim.
- Your car keys.
Put on your seatbelt.
I want to go for a drive.
Starting tonight, I
decided to exercise.
Tell mom that when you see her.
What's the point of
exercising so late in his life?
He's been exercising here and
there. He seems excited these days.
He betrayed us.
Drive...
Darn it.
You came to the wrong house.
- Thank you. Go home safely.
- Okay.
Bye. Get home safely.
Se Ra. You...
Aren't you scared
to drive a man home?
- Have you gone mad?
- You turned? Why did you turn?
Where did we turn?
- We're going for a drive.
- I see.
I see. A drive.
Is this exercising? Is it?
This is a side job for me.
And you're never going
to do this again. Never!
You told me to pay you rent.
- That's a lame excuse.
- It's not an excuse!
Sir, it's not an excuse.
I really did my best.
Sir. I'm serious.
This is so unfair.
Gosh.
You ought to behave
accordingly based on your job.
Don't you know
people love to gossip?
And you know what
your mother said?
She called all of her
buddies in her club...
and bragged how you're
working for the district assembly.
She talked you
up to her friends.
If she finds out this is
what you're doing at night,
she'll pass out.
- Before that, she'll hit me first.
- You did this when you knew that?
I'll pull over there.
You can get a taxi and go home.
And don't tell your
mother about this.
- Okay?
- Okay. Of course.
Of course.
Darn it. Come on.
They are so affectionate.
They are worried
about each other.
How romantic.
I need to find another job now.
Se Ra, you had a visitor.
- For me?
- It was the first visitor...
to the Office of Mawon-gu
District Representative Goo Se Ra.
"Urgent Complaint"?
There are three
security cameras.
What? This is automatic?
Hello. I'm...
- Put on a helmet.
- Pardon?
Put this on.
Gosh.
Do you live alone?
Ma'am.
I did come here
after getting a note.
You can't just write down...
the address without specifying
the nature of the complaint.
And you shouldn't let
strangers into your home either.
I wouldn't say we're
complete strangers.
Don't I look better in person?
That's enough chitchat.
You know what?
I believed this guy that he
was going to take care of this.
But I can't reach him.
"Representative
Yang Nae Sung..."
"of Mawon-gu District Assembly".
So I went to...
a pretty district
representative.
Her last name was Yoon.
She said she'd look into it,
but I still haven't heard anything.
- Bye.
- Yoon?
Yoon Hee Su?
I've worked with
her. She's awful.
You can tell me.
I'm Representative
Yang's replacement.
- Do you see them over there?
- What?
My gosh, it's so heavy.
My goodness! Ma'am.
Ma'am, are you all right?
I'm all right.
What did I tell you?
I told you to put it on.
They all came from that side.
Those jerks!
You know, about the complaint...
regarding the golf driving
range in Jeongeui-dong...
The agency told us...
that replacing the
nets with holes...
is actually very complicated.
Luckily, no one
got hurt from it.
Look.
I only brought samples.
And considering how I
almost got hit with a ball,
there must have been
at least 108 death threats.
Right. You "almost" got hit.
I'm trying to tell you
to settle this amicably.
My gosh, you didn't have to
bring them here. They are so heavy.
Then, I should come
back with a broken head!
I'll wrap the bandage
around my head.
Will you take
responsibility for it?
How? How will you do that?
How?
My gosh, Ms. Goo.
- There are people here.
- How...
- Oh, no.
- My goodness.
- Please.
- Oh, no.
- This is so annoying.
- It's annoying for me too.
Gosh, there are so
many people here.
You're back.
- Welcome.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Did you get some rest?
Why did you do that?
Come on, stop being angry at me.
Don't hold a grudge.
- You better not do that again.
- Come on.
Of course.
- I really mean it.
- Okay.
- I really felt insulted.
- Okay.
It was just a
three-day suspension.
Why are they welcoming
him so warmly?
That's all local
politics. It's fine.
I'm very sorry.
It's 10:30 a.m. Let's
begin the meeting.
Goodness.
That little...
I'm sorry.
Please excuse me.
Why did I have to
bump into him there?
Darn.
What is he doing here?
The complaint about the
Jeongeui-dong golf driving range.
Mawon-gu District Assembly...
received that
complaint several times.
But there's a reason why...
it's not been fixed and people
pretend not to know about it.
So what about the reason?
There's a reason I'm here too.
I reported it to the Mawon-gu
Office service center today.
I can't hear you.
Mawon-gu Office.
I can't hear you!
I'm at Mawon-gu Office,
and I told them off about it!
Yes, the office.
Mawon-gu Office!
You'll ask Ms. Goo to join
our party when she returns?
Before that,
I want you to meet
her and apologize.
I believe...
you are different from Mr. Go.
You should've stopped her.
I don't understand why you're
caring for Ms. Goo so much.
Like she told us, she merely
ran for office for the money,
and after becoming
elected by pure luck,
she's only motivated by money.
And she also...
voted yes for the motion
to issue municipal bonds.
Do you remember what I
told you on the first day...
you joined the Mawon-gu
District Assembly?
Those who get into politics...
usually have two
types of desires.
Yes, I remember.
And I also told you that...
You said you saw clearly that
I had both desires within me.
Right.
But...
I don't see...
either of those
desires in Ms. Goo.
Hold on.
Wait.
Rookies are usually in
charge of sorting out mail.
- Since you're a rookie here.
- What?
There are so many
things a rookie needs to do.
I know, right?
This country is so
obsessed with hierarchy.
That has to change someday.
Anyhow, don't forget to
deliver them by the end of today.
I saw Ms. Goo earlier.
Why did she come?
Well... I'll go
deliver some mails.
Okay.
I doubted it was you.
Don't people usually
take time to self-reflect?
Self-reflecting is for higher-ups
who caused troubles...
or celebrities.
Busy citizens like me
don't have time for that.
Do you remember the
elder lady wearing a helmet...
who submitted a complaint
about the driving range?
I'm not sure.
You should remember her.
It's hard to forget with
that impression she leaves.
Did you just ignore it
because it was bothersome?
Jeongeui-dong isn't
even my jurisdiction,
but I delivered the complaint
to the service center.
What more can I do?
You need to do more.
You need to take
care of it fully...
with a sense of responsibility.
Why don't you
take care of it then,
since you are the
queen of complaints?
Excuse me, this
mail came for you.
What are you doing here?
Do you want to go with me?
Sorry?
Hold on.
Director, it's Yoon Hee Su.
I need to visit a local
study room tomorrow,
and I'd like Deputy Director
Seo to accompany me.
Is that possible?
Of course, it's possible.
Thank you.
Did you hear
that? I'll call you.
Good luck on taking
care of that complaint.
What are you doing here?
Why can't I be here?
Darn it, seriously.
What the...
The parking lot is packed
even on a weekday,
and this place is
raking in money.
Why is it so hard to
pay the repair costs?
I'll show that
arrogant Yoon Hee Su.
I'll take care of
this with my ability...
at all costs.
Is your boss here?
You can't just come
in here like this.
I called beforehand.
I'm Goo Se Ra.
I'm a district representative of
Mawon-gu District Assembly.
We received a complaint...
because of the golf balls
that were hit from here.
Well...
Okay, wait a second.
Oh, my goodness.
My gosh!
Mister!
Darn it!
My gosh, my green
vegetable juice.
What if they're all damaged?
Gosh, this is so annoying.
How much is it for all of that?
What?
It's 189.6 dollars, sir.
I accept credit cards,
and a month of green
vegetable juice costs 48 dollars...
It's okay.
I guess you barged in here
too about the complaint...
and was kicked out.
Gosh, no matter how much
you try, nothing will change.
Even though you got lucky...
and got yourself that nice job,
all things are the same.
When you sell green vegetable
juice under the scorching sun,
we receive VIP vouchers...
and hit golf balls in
air-conditioned ranges.
This world is...
That will be 2.1 dollars, and
here's your change, 47.9 dollars.
Thank you.
My goodness.
I really hate him.
Oh, my gosh. I
hate him even more.
Oh, my.
Does he think he's
good-looking or something?
My gosh, look at this face.
You better consider
yourself lucky.
Since I'm nice enough to...
Throw your trash
in the trashcan!
That piece of trash.
Darn it.
When you sell green vegetable
juice under the scorching sun,
we receive VIP vouchers...
and hit golf balls in
air-conditioned ranges.
"We"?
As in people who
receive VIP vouchers?
Don't you have a car?
How can we bring a
car into a narrow alley...
where a handcart
can barely fit into?
We can't disturb residents
who pass through here.
You must haven't worked
out, getting exhausted already.
I'm disappointed.
What?
Hi.
Good job.
- Here.
- Thank you.
Next.
Good job.
Due to the budget
cuts in social welfare,
the money study rooms received
from the local government...
will be cut starting this month.
Things would've been better if
the municipal bonds were issued.
But weren't you opposed to?
I'm a member of
the progressive party.
I must follow the party's view.
Even if the bonds were issued,
that just means
more debts to repay.
That was our pretext.
But who do you think
is the first to suffer?
This is Mawon-gu's
council secretariat.
Do you know
Representative Heo Deok Gu?
He instructed the
council secretariat...
to organize the extension
of the VIP memberships.
I'd like to check which
representatives are members.
Yes.
Si Dan Gyu and...
Yes, Heo Deok Gu.
Okay.
Okay.
How much of a
discount do VIPs...
Oh, it's all free? Thank you.
I knew it.
She doesn't seem like,
but she accepted every gift.
On my first day at Mawon-gu,
I visited someone I respected
and was indebted for a long time.
He said,
"Those who get into politics..."
"usually have two desires."
"The desire to flaunt,"
"and the desire
to change things."
"Which desire takes over..."
"determines which
path the person takes."
What do you think?
Of me?
Pardon?
Which type do you think I am?
Do I want to flaunt?
Or do I want to change things?
I think it's both.
You gave me the same answer.
I wanted to ask
you what you think.
What...
You two are adults!
You can't act like preschoolers.
Especially you.
What about me?
What about you?
This. This!
You are way too rude.
We don't have to
worry about being polite.
Can you...
- Just a moment.
- Butt out!
Representative Yoon.
You never wanted to take care
of the driving range complaint.
You even accepted a VIP membership
for being a district representative.
Do you think I'm the only one?
Someone even pledged to
revoke the driving range's license,
then didn't after
getting elected.
Oh, who's that?
Do you think I'll tell you?
There's nothing you can do.
Don't get
emotionally involved...
and act like a stubborn
preschooler when you're an adult.
- You say...
- You say...
- who's the problem.
- who's the problem.
Both of you are.
You for accepting a freebie
from the business in question,
and you for demanding
an uninvolved third party...
take responsibility.
Are you King Solomon or what?
I didn't ask for facts.
Why do you come to my
neighborhood so often?
Ask Yoon Hee Su...
who pledged to revoke
the driving range's license...
and then did nothing.
As if she'd say.
She'd be so willing to tell you.
I went to the
driving range today.
I can't hear you. I can't.
I went to the driving range!
- Hey.
- I can't hear you.
Ma'am...
Save on the text message fee,
so text me just once a day.
Good night!
Darn it.
What?
I'm not seeing Ms. Yoon.
There's no relationship at all.
No?
How thoughtful of you
to come back and explain.
I don't want to
be misunderstood.
Now, go home.
Get a grip, Goo Se Ra.
This can be...
a temporary emotion
derived from loneliness.
Check if your pounding
heartbeat is real or fake.
I only ordered one serving.
You're eating late.
I was about to start
intermittent fasting thanks to you.
Enjoy your meal.
Get a grip, Goo Se Ra.
You may think your heart's
empty when it's just your stomach.
Check if this hunger
is real or fake.
Have you been starving for days?
Not at all.
Gosh. Drink this.
By the way,
that night you came to my
neighborhood with that comic book.
Why did you come?
Well...
I wanted to thank
you for buying...
a subscription of
green vegetable juice.
You even sold beef to me.
You want to sell green
vegetable juice now?
- It wasn't you?
- What do you mean?
- Never mind.
- Never mind what?
I don't buy just words.
Write down something.
That guy last time also
had such a slick tongue.
My family actually got into
trouble for signing a name,
so I don't sign
things recklessly.
You should finish
the business...
your predecessor left behind.
Why did this get
mixed up in here?
Darn.
I need to give this back.
Won So Jung?
Chief Won?
Ma'am.
Besides Mr. Yang or me,
did someone else give you a
business card for the campaign...
or promise you something?
Like who?
The Mawon-gu Office chief?
The Office of Mawon-gu District
Representative Goo Se Ra.
Oh, I see.
She's always away from
the office, that darned...
- Anyway.
- It's been a week as of today.
It happens every time the
helmet lady sends a text.
7 times 3 is 21.
So it means the chief
refused to see her...
for the 21st time already.
I've made up my mind.
I'm going to ask a favor to
someone who has a tiny, tiny bit...
more influence than me.
Do you even have a close
district representative?
Well, we've talked a few times.
See you.
You don't look like someone
who's asking for a favor.
Arms crossed, and
leaning on one foot?
How's this?
Please handle the complaint
for the driving range again.
Why would I? It's a
battle that I can't win.
Yes, Chief Won.
You have a dinner
appointment at 5 p.m. today...
at Sodamjeong Restaurant.
Yes, ma'am.
I had my doubts, but I knew it!
Did you say that to me?
No, I was talking to myself.
I'll take care of it.
Goodness.
There's so much to eat here.
Did Ms. Goo call you today too?
Se Ra is so tactless sometimes.
Can't she understand by now?
It's something that's
out of her league.
That driving range
seems very brazen though.
Do they have some sort
of powerful connection...
that can even annul
rules of daily complaints?
You really don't know
anything, do you?
- Representative Heo.
- Heo?
He's not that powerful.
But Chief Won backs
up Representative Heo.
The owner of that
driving range...
is also Representative
Heo's high school friend.
He received a lot of help
during the election too.
Since Chief Won is
Mr. Heo's sister-in-law,
she just canceled her
pledge and turned a blind eye.
No matter how
determined Se Ra is,
she's no match for Chief Won.
It's game over.
Hello.
It was so hard to
see you in the office,
so I came here like this.
- Sit.
- Okay.
So...
How did you know I'd be here?
I was just standing
somewhere, and I overheard it.
Since you're meeting
someone and have to eat,
let me cut straight
to the chase.
Do you know the driving
range in Jeongeui-dong?
Golf balls from
that place fly over...
to an elder lady's home nearby,
and she submitted more
than 32 complaints...
for the last three years,
but it still hasn't been solved.
And what is the reason
you came all the way here...
to tell me that?
Since it was part
of your pledge.
You said if you were elected,
you would cancel the
license of that driving range.
It's been a long
time since I saw this.
I meant this back then.
But now, it's different.
Shall I say it's a
political decision?
Ms. Goo.
Don't try too hard.
It's a hassle for both of us.
There won't be a problem.
If there wasn't a problem
until now, there won't ever be.
You came at the perfect timing.
Mr. Kim,
why don't you show
Ms. Goo her way out?
In case she gets lost.
How can I get lost?
I'll just go out
the way I came in.
I told you before.
Did you feel pity for me?
The green vegetable juice.
It's you who ordered it.
I just reached
out to help you...
within my ability.
No, you crossed the line,
and to me,
just pretending not to
know is helpful enough.
Someone else will
handle your delivery.
That's it.
Goodbye.
Can't you be more easygoing?
Can't you just
loosen up a little bit?
Do you remember
how I answered...
every time you used to say that?
I said thank you.
I thought you were worried...
that I'd be bashed
around here and there.
I just thought you
were being considerate.
But I'm not thankful at all now.
I'll take care of my own life.
I'm sorry.
Darn it. Drive
properly, my goodness.
Drive properly.
I'm sorry.
No matter how
determined Se Ra is,
she's no match for Chief Won.
It's game over.
Who do you think you are?
What...
I said give it back!
Give it to me right now.
I can't give you your car key.
It's my car and I will drive it.
I live just around the
corner. Give me my car key.
Just turning the
corner is drunk driving.
Just going over a speed
bump is drunk driving.
Just taking the steering
wheel is drunk driving.
How dare you try to lecture me?
Why not me?
Why not me?
Why does everyone...
Why does everyone
ignore what I say?
How dare you
talk to me like that?
My gosh...
I'm drunk.
Do something about your hair.
Why were you angry?
Because...
he was drunk and
insisted on driving.
I'd already said no.
Does the old lady
keep texting you?
You told her to...
not waste money and
text you once a day.
Yes. I said that.
Because I felt bad.
I had told her that
I'd solve the problem.
Everyone says you can't do it,
and is that why you're angry?
Yes, that's why.
My job, the
complaint, my feelings.
I'm not in control
of a single thing.
Do you want to comment?
Go ahead. Go for it.
"There's a reason
everyone turns a blind eye."
"Just be easygoing."
Being easygoing isn't you.
You always go over the top.
And so...
you won't give up on the
driving range complaint.
Shall we go somewhere
and grab a bite?
I have to stay up all night.
Someone got me another task.
Let's eat first, then.
Eating makes me drowsy.
You should...
eat something.
Darn it.
Why does he keep bothering me...
by getting bothered about me?
Good morning.
This is my favorite
place that only I know.
Hello?
She fell and fractured her knee.
She needs surgery, but she
kept saying that she has no family.
I checked her phone,
and you were the only person
she was in touch with recently.
Why are you looking into
someone else's phone?
I got emotional for nothing.
You're just fine.
I hurt my leg, not my hands.
Why did you fall?
Were you avoiding golf balls?
Why text me when I'm here?
In case you forget.
Due is the end of the month.
You can just move away.
Giving up, or rather,
avoiding the problem...
Where can I afford to move to?
Until I die,
I can't leave Mawon-gu.
You can find a cheap place.
It's not as if this neighborhood
is a great place to live.
I take care of it until the end.
Take care of what?
You live alone.
Darn it. That hurts.
Why did you bring me here?
We're busy setting things
up for tomorrow's event.
What time is it at?
It says right there, 9 a.m.
Then you, Gong Myung,
can come in at 6 a.m.
Hey. I support your
just and fair actions.
If you cause another ruckus...
Do you want to find out?
Then be here by 6 a.m.
Six... o'clock...
Six o'clock.
Gosh.
This is as far as we go.
Hey. Hey.
Good luck!
Darn it.
How am I supposed to...
Good morning.
I would like to...
retire due to age.
I support that.
Get that.
- Yes.
- I'm squinting.
It's just lovely.
What a sunny day.
Mawon-gu's Chief Won So Jung
actively serves the community.
We'll begin the Washing
the Elderly's Feet event.
Thank you.
Let's begin.
Won So Jung will promise you.
If you elect me to the
chief of Mawon-gu Office,
- the first thing I'll do...
- Why is that...
is canceling the license
of the driving range...
that harms your safety.
Trust me...
- and support me, -
Why is that playing?
and I, Won So Jung,
will make it come true!
What's that? Why
did you play that now?
What's happening?
- What's this?
- Are they golf balls?
Aren't they golf balls, right?
Numerous complaints were lodged,
but none of them
seemed to reach you,
so I prepared an event where
you can experience things yourself.
In private, you ignore complaints
from an elderly who lives alone,
and in public, you bring
the elderly on a podium...
to wash their feet.
Is that the stupid kind of...
active service that
Mawon-gu Office is into?
- Oh, no.
- What's she doing?
Is she crazy?
Oh, dear!
Gosh.
A bull's-eye.
My next target...
is you, chief.
Oh, no.
I like him.
I don't.
I like him.
I don't.
I like him.
Good morning.
This is my favorite
place that only I know.
Is it a quiz for a good morning?
I plan to reinstate some of
the social welfare budget.
There's three, but I get
the feeling there's just one.
This is the only thing
they do on sports day.
They always lose,
and we still have to do this.
At the revised
supplementary budget vote,
- vote yes.
- Let's do this.
I'll vote yes if Mawon-gu wins.
Yikes. Was it a
mistake, Ms. Yoon?
No, I don't mistakes.
Neither do I.
You're on the same side!
The current score is 2 to 2.
The last event decides who wins!
Goodbye.
Bye.
Hey. Can you not
do this late at night?
You exhaust me
whenever you're like this.
The reason you're exhausted...
isn't me but Yoon Hee Su.
It's not.
It is to me.
You know that witch mocked
your friend of 29 years!
Don't.
What 29 years?
You should take
off at least 20 years.
You... You got suspended,
and you have time to
read things like this?
Then what? Should I dig a
hole because I'm depressed?
Did you worry about me a little?
I didn't think much of you.
Why are you here? Do
you have business with me?
Business with you?
- No!
- Okay.
I was on my way home.
After seeing the worst sight.
He has such ordinary and shallow
standards when it comes to women.
1, 2, 3, 4 digits.
2,000.
That's it.
What relationship?
They're 100 percent flirting.
I take that and double
the bet that they're flirting.
200 percent.
Your friend who saw
the tragedy from afar...
loves him alone.
Is it unrequited love?
No, those two are just friends.
If they're really friends,
whether the guy dates
a witch or a cougar...
wouldn't upset
the girl that much.
She has been feeling
a bit lonely lately.
Tell her to eat bread, then.
Loneliness can be
cured with carbs.
Darn it. It's not
unrequited love!
Whatever. Darn it.
It's not. It is not.
Shoot.
I'll make money.
I'll do all sorts of jobs.
Tell her to eat bread, then.
Loneliness can be
cured with carbs.
Darn it.
How much bread must I eat?
Can't you make some toast
and ask me to have some bite?
Where's Mom?
A member of her
gathering is in hospital.
So she offered to watch
their store for a few months.
Is the district assembly
work manageable?
What?
Since when did you
care about my career?
Darn you.
- Shoot.
- Darn it.
Darn.
You get paid on the 20th, right?
Start paying rent again.
How could you?
No?
Then move out! Leave my house!
Everyone's kicking me out.
I'm being ditched big time.
Don't try to talk your way out.
And...
starting tonight, I
decided to exercise.
Tell Mom that when you see her.
Eat fried eggs too.
I have to eat carbs!
He...
likes her.
No...
way.
No way, Gong Myung.
As if.
Forget the keep. I deleted it.
She remembers.
How did you find out, Ms. Yoon?
Who threw away their votes
on issuing the municipal bonds.
- I don't know.
- Pardon?
You asked if I were curious
as to who cast the spoilt votes.
It was a question.
I never said I knew.
Do you know you're
quite easy to tease?
I don't know.
Gong Myung. Why...
- I'll call you back.
- What? Okay.
Goodbye, then.
Goodbye.
Darn it, my knee.
You said we don't work overtime.
Generally speaking.
Does Ms. Yoon usually
request so much research?
She decided to take a pay cut,
and she's even
working harder too.
How about...
we share the workload?
This attitude is frowned upon.
I'm your senior.
But still, I'm a deputy...
I'm suddenly so annoyed!
I'm a deputy...
My gosh.
I'm a deputy director.
Shoot.
Darn it.
Gosh.
Take the freight elevator,
not the staff elevator.
Oh, okay.
Did you have a drink last night?
Yes, a little.
Wild parsley detoxes your
liver and cures hangovers.
No, thanks.
Take a sip.
Not when I'm at work.
Go on.
It tastes okay, right?
I like it.
Right? This drink...
This is employment fraud.
How can I clean all five floors?
Darn it. Just my luck.
Ma'am, wait for me.
The door is closing.
Shoot.
Good shot.
The door is opening.
What?
The door is closing.
Darn you.
Mom?
Se Ra?
- The door is closing.
- This is crazy.
- Oh, dear.
- Ouch.
- It hurts.
- Goodness. You little...
Stop it.
You're hurting my neck.
Unclench your fists.
There you go. Well done.
Mom.
I worked like a dog...
to help my daughter
have a successful life.
But my daughter ended up...
Ended up what?
I'm selling a lot of
green vegetable juice.
Besides, did you expect me to
have a successful life with that?
I did!
You went through all that trouble
to become a district representative...
who can't even get paid.
Darn 50,000 dollars.
I completely fell
for that number.
Don't tell your dad.
Okay?
Okay. Of course.
Oh, right. I'll be coming home
late because of a part-time job.
He started exercising too.
What's the point of
exercising so late in his life?
He's been exercising here and
there. He seems excited these days.
What kind of part-time
job are you doing at night?
Ma'am, have a good day!
- Hey.
- You can do it.
Come back here.
What's your part-time job?
Hey!
Answer the call.
Hello?
Hello?
Sir, did you call
for a chauffeur?
- Hey.
- Yes.
No, I'm not a chauffeur.
I got promoted.
Where's your car?
- I'm a manager now. Manager Kim.
- Your car keys.
Put on your seatbelt.
I want to go for a drive.
Starting tonight, I
decided to exercise.
Tell mom that when you see her.
What's the point of
exercising so late in his life?
He's been exercising here and
there. He seems excited these days.
He betrayed us.
Drive...
Darn it.
You came to the wrong house.
- Thank you. Go home safely.
- Okay.
Bye. Get home safely.
Se Ra. You...
Aren't you scared
to drive a man home?
- Have you gone mad?
- You turned? Why did you turn?
Where did we turn?
- We're going for a drive.
- I see.
I see. A drive.
Is this exercising? Is it?
This is a side job for me.
And you're never going
to do this again. Never!
You told me to pay you rent.
- That's a lame excuse.
- It's not an excuse!
Sir, it's not an excuse.
I really did my best.
Sir. I'm serious.
This is so unfair.
Gosh.
You ought to behave
accordingly based on your job.
Don't you know
people love to gossip?
And you know what
your mother said?
She called all of her
buddies in her club...
and bragged how you're
working for the district assembly.
She talked you
up to her friends.
If she finds out this is
what you're doing at night,
she'll pass out.
- Before that, she'll hit me first.
- You did this when you knew that?
I'll pull over there.
You can get a taxi and go home.
And don't tell your
mother about this.
- Okay?
- Okay. Of course.
Of course.
Darn it. Come on.
They are so affectionate.
They are worried
about each other.
How romantic.
I need to find another job now.
Se Ra, you had a visitor.
- For me?
- It was the first visitor...
to the Office of Mawon-gu
District Representative Goo Se Ra.
"Urgent Complaint"?
There are three
security cameras.
What? This is automatic?
Hello. I'm...
- Put on a helmet.
- Pardon?
Put this on.
Gosh.
Do you live alone?
Ma'am.
I did come here
after getting a note.
You can't just write down...
the address without specifying
the nature of the complaint.
And you shouldn't let
strangers into your home either.
I wouldn't say we're
complete strangers.
Don't I look better in person?
That's enough chitchat.
You know what?
I believed this guy that he
was going to take care of this.
But I can't reach him.
"Representative
Yang Nae Sung..."
"of Mawon-gu District Assembly".
So I went to...
a pretty district
representative.
Her last name was Yoon.
She said she'd look into it,
but I still haven't heard anything.
- Bye.
- Yoon?
Yoon Hee Su?
I've worked with
her. She's awful.
You can tell me.
I'm Representative
Yang's replacement.
- Do you see them over there?
- What?
My gosh, it's so heavy.
My goodness! Ma'am.
Ma'am, are you all right?
I'm all right.
What did I tell you?
I told you to put it on.
They all came from that side.
Those jerks!
You know, about the complaint...
regarding the golf driving
range in Jeongeui-dong...
The agency told us...
that replacing the
nets with holes...
is actually very complicated.
Luckily, no one
got hurt from it.
Look.
I only brought samples.
And considering how I
almost got hit with a ball,
there must have been
at least 108 death threats.
Right. You "almost" got hit.
I'm trying to tell you
to settle this amicably.
My gosh, you didn't have to
bring them here. They are so heavy.
Then, I should come
back with a broken head!
I'll wrap the bandage
around my head.
Will you take
responsibility for it?
How? How will you do that?
How?
My gosh, Ms. Goo.
- There are people here.
- How...
- Oh, no.
- My goodness.
- Please.
- Oh, no.
- This is so annoying.
- It's annoying for me too.
Gosh, there are so
many people here.
You're back.
- Welcome.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Did you get some rest?
Why did you do that?
Come on, stop being angry at me.
Don't hold a grudge.
- You better not do that again.
- Come on.
Of course.
- I really mean it.
- Okay.
- I really felt insulted.
- Okay.
It was just a
three-day suspension.
Why are they welcoming
him so warmly?
That's all local
politics. It's fine.
I'm very sorry.
It's 10:30 a.m. Let's
begin the meeting.
Goodness.
That little...
I'm sorry.
Please excuse me.
Why did I have to
bump into him there?
Darn.
What is he doing here?
The complaint about the
Jeongeui-dong golf driving range.
Mawon-gu District Assembly...
received that
complaint several times.
But there's a reason why...
it's not been fixed and people
pretend not to know about it.
So what about the reason?
There's a reason I'm here too.
I reported it to the Mawon-gu
Office service center today.
I can't hear you.
Mawon-gu Office.
I can't hear you!
I'm at Mawon-gu Office,
and I told them off about it!
Yes, the office.
Mawon-gu Office!
You'll ask Ms. Goo to join
our party when she returns?
Before that,
I want you to meet
her and apologize.
I believe...
you are different from Mr. Go.
You should've stopped her.
I don't understand why you're
caring for Ms. Goo so much.
Like she told us, she merely
ran for office for the money,
and after becoming
elected by pure luck,
she's only motivated by money.
And she also...
voted yes for the motion
to issue municipal bonds.
Do you remember what I
told you on the first day...
you joined the Mawon-gu
District Assembly?
Those who get into politics...
usually have two
types of desires.
Yes, I remember.
And I also told you that...
You said you saw clearly that
I had both desires within me.
Right.
But...
I don't see...
either of those
desires in Ms. Goo.
Hold on.
Wait.
Rookies are usually in
charge of sorting out mail.
- Since you're a rookie here.
- What?
There are so many
things a rookie needs to do.
I know, right?
This country is so
obsessed with hierarchy.
That has to change someday.
Anyhow, don't forget to
deliver them by the end of today.
I saw Ms. Goo earlier.
Why did she come?
Well... I'll go
deliver some mails.
Okay.
I doubted it was you.
Don't people usually
take time to self-reflect?
Self-reflecting is for higher-ups
who caused troubles...
or celebrities.
Busy citizens like me
don't have time for that.
Do you remember the
elder lady wearing a helmet...
who submitted a complaint
about the driving range?
I'm not sure.
You should remember her.
It's hard to forget with
that impression she leaves.
Did you just ignore it
because it was bothersome?
Jeongeui-dong isn't
even my jurisdiction,
but I delivered the complaint
to the service center.
What more can I do?
You need to do more.
You need to take
care of it fully...
with a sense of responsibility.
Why don't you
take care of it then,
since you are the
queen of complaints?
Excuse me, this
mail came for you.
What are you doing here?
Do you want to go with me?
Sorry?
Hold on.
Director, it's Yoon Hee Su.
I need to visit a local
study room tomorrow,
and I'd like Deputy Director
Seo to accompany me.
Is that possible?
Of course, it's possible.
Thank you.
Did you hear
that? I'll call you.
Good luck on taking
care of that complaint.
What are you doing here?
Why can't I be here?
Darn it, seriously.
What the...
The parking lot is packed
even on a weekday,
and this place is
raking in money.
Why is it so hard to
pay the repair costs?
I'll show that
arrogant Yoon Hee Su.
I'll take care of
this with my ability...
at all costs.
Is your boss here?
You can't just come
in here like this.
I called beforehand.
I'm Goo Se Ra.
I'm a district representative of
Mawon-gu District Assembly.
We received a complaint...
because of the golf balls
that were hit from here.
Well...
Okay, wait a second.
Oh, my goodness.
My gosh!
Mister!
Darn it!
My gosh, my green
vegetable juice.
What if they're all damaged?
Gosh, this is so annoying.
How much is it for all of that?
What?
It's 189.6 dollars, sir.
I accept credit cards,
and a month of green
vegetable juice costs 48 dollars...
It's okay.
I guess you barged in here
too about the complaint...
and was kicked out.
Gosh, no matter how much
you try, nothing will change.
Even though you got lucky...
and got yourself that nice job,
all things are the same.
When you sell green vegetable
juice under the scorching sun,
we receive VIP vouchers...
and hit golf balls in
air-conditioned ranges.
This world is...
That will be 2.1 dollars, and
here's your change, 47.9 dollars.
Thank you.
My goodness.
I really hate him.
Oh, my gosh. I
hate him even more.
Oh, my.
Does he think he's
good-looking or something?
My gosh, look at this face.
You better consider
yourself lucky.
Since I'm nice enough to...
Throw your trash
in the trashcan!
That piece of trash.
Darn it.
When you sell green vegetable
juice under the scorching sun,
we receive VIP vouchers...
and hit golf balls in
air-conditioned ranges.
"We"?
As in people who
receive VIP vouchers?
Don't you have a car?
How can we bring a
car into a narrow alley...
where a handcart
can barely fit into?
We can't disturb residents
who pass through here.
You must haven't worked
out, getting exhausted already.
I'm disappointed.
What?
Hi.
Good job.
- Here.
- Thank you.
Next.
Good job.
Due to the budget
cuts in social welfare,
the money study rooms received
from the local government...
will be cut starting this month.
Things would've been better if
the municipal bonds were issued.
But weren't you opposed to?
I'm a member of
the progressive party.
I must follow the party's view.
Even if the bonds were issued,
that just means
more debts to repay.
That was our pretext.
But who do you think
is the first to suffer?
This is Mawon-gu's
council secretariat.
Do you know
Representative Heo Deok Gu?
He instructed the
council secretariat...
to organize the extension
of the VIP memberships.
I'd like to check which
representatives are members.
Yes.
Si Dan Gyu and...
Yes, Heo Deok Gu.
Okay.
Okay.
How much of a
discount do VIPs...
Oh, it's all free? Thank you.
I knew it.
She doesn't seem like,
but she accepted every gift.
On my first day at Mawon-gu,
I visited someone I respected
and was indebted for a long time.
He said,
"Those who get into politics..."
"usually have two desires."
"The desire to flaunt,"
"and the desire
to change things."
"Which desire takes over..."
"determines which
path the person takes."
What do you think?
Of me?
Pardon?
Which type do you think I am?
Do I want to flaunt?
Or do I want to change things?
I think it's both.
You gave me the same answer.
I wanted to ask
you what you think.
What...
You two are adults!
You can't act like preschoolers.
Especially you.
What about me?
What about you?
This. This!
You are way too rude.
We don't have to
worry about being polite.
Can you...
- Just a moment.
- Butt out!
Representative Yoon.
You never wanted to take care
of the driving range complaint.
You even accepted a VIP membership
for being a district representative.
Do you think I'm the only one?
Someone even pledged to
revoke the driving range's license,
then didn't after
getting elected.
Oh, who's that?
Do you think I'll tell you?
There's nothing you can do.
Don't get
emotionally involved...
and act like a stubborn
preschooler when you're an adult.
- You say...
- You say...
- who's the problem.
- who's the problem.
Both of you are.
You for accepting a freebie
from the business in question,
and you for demanding
an uninvolved third party...
take responsibility.
Are you King Solomon or what?
I didn't ask for facts.
Why do you come to my
neighborhood so often?
Ask Yoon Hee Su...
who pledged to revoke
the driving range's license...
and then did nothing.
As if she'd say.
She'd be so willing to tell you.
I went to the
driving range today.
I can't hear you. I can't.
I went to the driving range!
- Hey.
- I can't hear you.
Ma'am...
Save on the text message fee,
so text me just once a day.
Good night!
Darn it.
What?
I'm not seeing Ms. Yoon.
There's no relationship at all.
No?
How thoughtful of you
to come back and explain.
I don't want to
be misunderstood.
Now, go home.
Get a grip, Goo Se Ra.
This can be...
a temporary emotion
derived from loneliness.
Check if your pounding
heartbeat is real or fake.
I only ordered one serving.
You're eating late.
I was about to start
intermittent fasting thanks to you.
Enjoy your meal.
Get a grip, Goo Se Ra.
You may think your heart's
empty when it's just your stomach.
Check if this hunger
is real or fake.
Have you been starving for days?
Not at all.
Gosh. Drink this.
By the way,
that night you came to my
neighborhood with that comic book.
Why did you come?
Well...
I wanted to thank
you for buying...
a subscription of
green vegetable juice.
You even sold beef to me.
You want to sell green
vegetable juice now?
- It wasn't you?
- What do you mean?
- Never mind.
- Never mind what?
I don't buy just words.
Write down something.
That guy last time also
had such a slick tongue.
My family actually got into
trouble for signing a name,
so I don't sign
things recklessly.
You should finish
the business...
your predecessor left behind.
Why did this get
mixed up in here?
Darn.
I need to give this back.
Won So Jung?
Chief Won?
Ma'am.
Besides Mr. Yang or me,
did someone else give you a
business card for the campaign...
or promise you something?
Like who?
The Mawon-gu Office chief?
The Office of Mawon-gu District
Representative Goo Se Ra.
Oh, I see.
She's always away from
the office, that darned...
- Anyway.
- It's been a week as of today.
It happens every time the
helmet lady sends a text.
7 times 3 is 21.
So it means the chief
refused to see her...
for the 21st time already.
I've made up my mind.
I'm going to ask a favor to
someone who has a tiny, tiny bit...
more influence than me.
Do you even have a close
district representative?
Well, we've talked a few times.
See you.
You don't look like someone
who's asking for a favor.
Arms crossed, and
leaning on one foot?
How's this?
Please handle the complaint
for the driving range again.
Why would I? It's a
battle that I can't win.
Yes, Chief Won.
You have a dinner
appointment at 5 p.m. today...
at Sodamjeong Restaurant.
Yes, ma'am.
I had my doubts, but I knew it!
Did you say that to me?
No, I was talking to myself.
I'll take care of it.
Goodness.
There's so much to eat here.
Did Ms. Goo call you today too?
Se Ra is so tactless sometimes.
Can't she understand by now?
It's something that's
out of her league.
That driving range
seems very brazen though.
Do they have some sort
of powerful connection...
that can even annul
rules of daily complaints?
You really don't know
anything, do you?
- Representative Heo.
- Heo?
He's not that powerful.
But Chief Won backs
up Representative Heo.
The owner of that
driving range...
is also Representative
Heo's high school friend.
He received a lot of help
during the election too.
Since Chief Won is
Mr. Heo's sister-in-law,
she just canceled her
pledge and turned a blind eye.
No matter how
determined Se Ra is,
she's no match for Chief Won.
It's game over.
Hello.
It was so hard to
see you in the office,
so I came here like this.
- Sit.
- Okay.
So...
How did you know I'd be here?
I was just standing
somewhere, and I overheard it.
Since you're meeting
someone and have to eat,
let me cut straight
to the chase.
Do you know the driving
range in Jeongeui-dong?
Golf balls from
that place fly over...
to an elder lady's home nearby,
and she submitted more
than 32 complaints...
for the last three years,
but it still hasn't been solved.
And what is the reason
you came all the way here...
to tell me that?
Since it was part
of your pledge.
You said if you were elected,
you would cancel the
license of that driving range.
It's been a long
time since I saw this.
I meant this back then.
But now, it's different.
Shall I say it's a
political decision?
Ms. Goo.
Don't try too hard.
It's a hassle for both of us.
There won't be a problem.
If there wasn't a problem
until now, there won't ever be.
You came at the perfect timing.
Mr. Kim,
why don't you show
Ms. Goo her way out?
In case she gets lost.
How can I get lost?
I'll just go out
the way I came in.
I told you before.
Did you feel pity for me?
The green vegetable juice.
It's you who ordered it.
I just reached
out to help you...
within my ability.
No, you crossed the line,
and to me,
just pretending not to
know is helpful enough.
Someone else will
handle your delivery.
That's it.
Goodbye.
Can't you be more easygoing?
Can't you just
loosen up a little bit?
Do you remember
how I answered...
every time you used to say that?
I said thank you.
I thought you were worried...
that I'd be bashed
around here and there.
I just thought you
were being considerate.
But I'm not thankful at all now.
I'll take care of my own life.
I'm sorry.
Darn it. Drive
properly, my goodness.
Drive properly.
I'm sorry.
No matter how
determined Se Ra is,
she's no match for Chief Won.
It's game over.
Who do you think you are?
What...
I said give it back!
Give it to me right now.
I can't give you your car key.
It's my car and I will drive it.
I live just around the
corner. Give me my car key.
Just turning the
corner is drunk driving.
Just going over a speed
bump is drunk driving.
Just taking the steering
wheel is drunk driving.
How dare you try to lecture me?
Why not me?
Why not me?
Why does everyone...
Why does everyone
ignore what I say?
How dare you
talk to me like that?
My gosh...
I'm drunk.
Do something about your hair.
Why were you angry?
Because...
he was drunk and
insisted on driving.
I'd already said no.
Does the old lady
keep texting you?
You told her to...
not waste money and
text you once a day.
Yes. I said that.
Because I felt bad.
I had told her that
I'd solve the problem.
Everyone says you can't do it,
and is that why you're angry?
Yes, that's why.
My job, the
complaint, my feelings.
I'm not in control
of a single thing.
Do you want to comment?
Go ahead. Go for it.
"There's a reason
everyone turns a blind eye."
"Just be easygoing."
Being easygoing isn't you.
You always go over the top.
And so...
you won't give up on the
driving range complaint.
Shall we go somewhere
and grab a bite?
I have to stay up all night.
Someone got me another task.
Let's eat first, then.
Eating makes me drowsy.
You should...
eat something.
Darn it.
Why does he keep bothering me...
by getting bothered about me?
Good morning.
This is my favorite
place that only I know.
Hello?
She fell and fractured her knee.
She needs surgery, but she
kept saying that she has no family.
I checked her phone,
and you were the only person
she was in touch with recently.
Why are you looking into
someone else's phone?
I got emotional for nothing.
You're just fine.
I hurt my leg, not my hands.
Why did you fall?
Were you avoiding golf balls?
Why text me when I'm here?
In case you forget.
Due is the end of the month.
You can just move away.
Giving up, or rather,
avoiding the problem...
Where can I afford to move to?
Until I die,
I can't leave Mawon-gu.
You can find a cheap place.
It's not as if this neighborhood
is a great place to live.
I take care of it until the end.
Take care of what?
You live alone.
Darn it. That hurts.
Why did you bring me here?
We're busy setting things
up for tomorrow's event.
What time is it at?
It says right there, 9 a.m.
Then you, Gong Myung,
can come in at 6 a.m.
Hey. I support your
just and fair actions.
If you cause another ruckus...
Do you want to find out?
Then be here by 6 a.m.
Six... o'clock...
Six o'clock.
Gosh.
This is as far as we go.
Hey. Hey.
Good luck!
Darn it.
How am I supposed to...
Good morning.
I would like to...
retire due to age.
I support that.
Get that.
- Yes.
- I'm squinting.
It's just lovely.
What a sunny day.
Mawon-gu's Chief Won So Jung
actively serves the community.
We'll begin the Washing
the Elderly's Feet event.
Thank you.
Let's begin.
Won So Jung will promise you.
If you elect me to the
chief of Mawon-gu Office,
- the first thing I'll do...
- Why is that...
is canceling the license
of the driving range...
that harms your safety.
Trust me...
- and support me, -
Why is that playing?
and I, Won So Jung,
will make it come true!
What's that? Why
did you play that now?
What's happening?
- What's this?
- Are they golf balls?
Aren't they golf balls, right?
Numerous complaints were lodged,
but none of them
seemed to reach you,
so I prepared an event where
you can experience things yourself.
In private, you ignore complaints
from an elderly who lives alone,
and in public, you bring
the elderly on a podium...
to wash their feet.
Is that the stupid kind of...
active service that
Mawon-gu Office is into?
- Oh, no.
- What's she doing?
Is she crazy?
Oh, dear!
Gosh.
A bull's-eye.
My next target...
is you, chief.
Oh, no.
I like him.
I don't.
I like him.
I don't.
I like him.
Good morning.
This is my favorite
place that only I know.
Is it a quiz for a good morning?
I plan to reinstate some of
the social welfare budget.
There's three, but I get
the feeling there's just one.
This is the only thing
they do on sports day.
They always lose,
and we still have to do this.
At the revised
supplementary budget vote,
- vote yes.
- Let's do this.
I'll vote yes if Mawon-gu wins.
Yikes. Was it a
mistake, Ms. Yoon?
No, I don't mistakes.
Neither do I.
You're on the same side!
The current score is 2 to 2.
The last event decides who wins!
