[The City Hall]
Misconduct, incompetence, and degradation of public office.
You like the reasons for your dismissal?
What's with the long face?
Oh, I made a mistake.
You were on the city's payroll for seven years.
The reasons I gave were too simple.
Don't worry.
I'll go over your records with a fine-tooth comb
and come up with a hundred legitimate reasons.
You should've minded your own business.
The weather outside is nice, so you must be daydreaming.
Wake up!
My job wasn't the most secure, but I'm a big, strong girl.
- But you can't act your size. - Want to make a bet?
This is an abuse of power!
You think I'll just take this sitting down?
You're being so innocent.
Innocence stops paying off once you're out of preschool.
Do you know why people clamor for power?
For one reason. To abuse it.
To bury annoying people when they act up.
So have at it.
Director Park.
Director Park!
A consultant's report about city improvement at two.
A meeting about protocols at four.
And a chorus group at seven.
A social group comprised of housewives.
That's my kind of meeting.
A gaggle of insipid housewives trying to act classy.
Hey, let me go!
We don't want to do this either. God, you're so strong.
I'm not leaving like this!
Let go!
I knew you were trouble.
That tiara got to your head.
Talk about not knowing your place.
We'll pretend we got your resignation.
So... So beat it!
Let's go.
It's bad enough that Director Lee quit.
Man, my arms...
What the heck?
You want a piece of me?
You just said I resigned!
I'm no longer an employee here.
So you can't come in!
You can't stop a taxpayer from walking into city hall!
I have to see the deputy mayor.
If he doesn't object, you can't say a thing.
I'm sorry, but do you have a minute?
I know I'm an attractive target, but stop using me.
I'm tired of it.
So you're just turned me into a martyr.
New Inju newspaper?
This is Miss Herring.
No, I'm not asking you to buy herrings...
Could you give us the specifics?
I worked so hard to keep up with those young girls...
Is it true you were only paid $1,000?
It was supposed to be $20,000.
They handed me an envelope
They handed me an envelope and it was so thick but they were all $10 bills...
Wasn't it wrong for a public servant to be in the pageant?
No, I'm an honest person...
Didn't you change your mind after you donated the money?
What?
Seriously, what paper do you work for?
It's been reported that you've been dismissed from your job.
Excuse me.
They threw me out!
Hey...
Man....
How can this be?
Not a work about it anywhere.
Anything on the city hall website?
Let's see.
- 27 comments? - 27?
Maybe they rigged the numbers.
It could've been 1270.
- I can see that. - Only if we sent them.
Just like during the Miss Herring Pageant.
Hey!
We didn't...
I guess that's how it is.
Nobody cares.
Everyone is too busy making a living to care.
You were like that too.
Did I say otherwise?
But this is too much!
I put on my best dress and did my makeup for an hour and a half.
They took all those photos!
But for what?
I got my hopes up.
The press is supposed to editorialize.
The pen is mightier than the sword my ass...
Hey!
You have us.
Your fans are mightier than the sword.
Cheer up.
Sure.
What would I do without you guys?
Why are you just standing there?
It's fun to drink in a shabby joint.
Especially in the daytime.
But this place is just too...
Why not?
The culprit always show up at the scene of the crime.
We're supposed to have a drink, Mr. Lee.
Have a seat.
We'll have the most expensive thing on the menu.
No wonder nothing was mentioned in the papers.
Why, we should just...
Tell them to leave.
But they're my customers.
That's how the world works.
I was wondering what had gotten into him.
It's a hole-in-the-wall, but it has its charm.
Sure.
What was up with the articles today?
Pardon?
They were all so moving.
I almost cried.
Well, journalists have to hear both sides of the story.
She just didn't have any credibility.
That's right.
There are plenty of more moving stories.
I guess she was hard up and just made up a story.
I do feel responsible and sympathetic as a politician.
Excuse me for a second.
You've gone downhill in just one day.
You can't just sit there and sob over a little job.
Turn your crisis into an opportunity.
Have a positive outlook and you won't get blemishes.
Thank God you're a woman.
If you were a man, I'd kill you.
I hear that often.
Where's the restroom?
It's outside. You have to take the key.
How uncivilized.
Where's the key?
Here.
I'm acting my size.
Take it if you can.
Stop being so immature now.
But I've always been immature.
By the way, all the nearby businesses are closed now.
Cough it up.
What's with the long face?
It is nice to have power and to abuse it.
Hey...
You're going to get it.
You already gave it to me.
Mr. Lee, Mr. Park, and Mr. Kim.
Now this is a credible story.
'Abuse of power makes a councilwoman wet her pants.'
You'll cry all right when you see that in the paper.
Why, you!
I understand how you feel.
But you know what, Joo Hwa?
There are people out there who suffer from worse things.
I hope you realize that, Councilwoman.
Make sure you hold it in.
Shin Mi Rae gave a press conference?
Yes, but not a word was written about it.
Mayor Goh knows what he's doing.
He does.
Do you think more will be made of this?
- Sorry? - Shin Mi Rae.
Think she'll pursue this or give up?
It'll be like trying to crack a rock with an egg.
But say it's not an egg.
If someone gives her a grenade, would she throw it?
Is she capable of that?
What are you hinting at?
But she probably could crack a rock with an egg.
She's King Kong, after all.
Aren't you too harsh?
She's starting to grow on me.
What? Are you interested in her?
Yes.
- Oh? - She cute and innocent.
Sure.
Your phone.
What?
Yes, sir.
I'll be right over.
I won't be back today.
I can drive you wherever you're going.
No, go on a date.
Shin Mi Rae has a lot of free time.
Inju must be treating you well.
There's no challenge, so I'm rather bored.
Your arrogance must mean things are going well.
I've sorted a few things out, and I'm keeping watch.
You can trust me, sir.
These aren't turning out well.
When I put them in the over, they're all so precise.
But they fall short of my expectations.
Especially when I have expectations.
You're still just keeping watch?
The elections are coming up.
You think I sent you there for a trivial task?
It was so you could move onto bigger things.
There's no challenge, so you're rather bored?
Arrogant fool.
Can I trust you?
I don't trust you, so why do you trust yourself?
Arrogance leads to carelessness!
You can come.
The rest of you, wait here.
You weren't into hot tea, sir.
I'm getting up there.
I like it now.
So how's this kid doing?
He focuses on external affairs rather than those in the city.
He's gathered some information.
He's torn over who to support.
There was a minor disturbance because of the deputy mayor.
But if the victim pursues the matter, it could cause a problem.
He met with the city council president yesterday.
His fiance visited last Thursday.
It does sound boring.
Finish your tea.
How long has it been?
Is that what you're most curious about?
Just answer my question.
How long?
Since the provincial government, so it's been a while.
You've deceived me for four years?
How have I deceived you?
Because we serve the same gentleman?
Because you and I share the same dream?
Didn't I tell you?
Worms have nothing over me...
Shut up!
How could you?
How...
I've learned a lot from you.
I better tell you that now.
You better leave before I change my mind.
Where are you going? I'll take you.
Leave.
Beat it.
'You weren't into hot tea, sir.'
So I...
I couldn't be trusted, sir?
But I...
I trusted you, sir.
Thanks.
And even if no one else would trust me...
I thought you would, sir.
That was a misunderstanding.
And when did I ever ask you to trust me?
How can you be so sentimental and be a politician?
I told you trusting people will ruin you.
People fall into two categories.
You either serve them or boss them around.
If a subordinate can betray you
how can you be of any use to me?
You're wrong, sir.
I wish it was about betrayal.
But it's about jealousy.
I'm not sure if I can keep from hating you, sir.
I won't visit for a while.
I wish you good health, sir.
You're doing what?
A one-person protest.
[If I'm lucky, I'll date one of these guys.]
[But I have to focus on protesting for now.]
[Mayor Goh Boo Sil, a.k.a BS, was unfair.]
[I'll chase after my prize money until I am... ]
Well, hello.
A one-person protest?
- Are you okay, sir? - Does it look like I'm okay?
Man!
She's big enough for two people.
Drag her away now!
What a joke.
A press conference and a protest?
You've got a lot going on.
I can't just do nothing.
It's nothing something I can just keep private.
It was a pretty difficult decision.
I've got one life to live. I'll stick to my principles!
Why, you...
You better be quiet, or else!
Or else what? I'm right here!
The Miss Herring Pageant has gone to your head.
You've gone far enough.
Does Director Lee know you're doing this?
What's wrong with the two of you?
I'm so stressed out.
Just quit while you're ahead.
Come on, let's drag her away.
I'll start.
Why, you...
Come on, drag her away!
Stop it!
I have my rights!
Let go!
What's going on?
It's nothing, so you can go on.
It's nothing?
You know I can make an issue out of this.
She's putting on a protest and making a scene.
Don't you read the papers?
People protest in front of the National Assembly.
So what's the problem?
- But... - Let her go.
He told you to let her go.
Sir, this doesn't concern you...
I said let her go!
Don't you gentlemen have work to do?
Don't you have work to do?
He just asked...
Are you all right?
Yeah...
If you won't give me the money...
Until I end up this way...
You made a difficult decision.
I guess you'll die.
What the...
I know I made a difficult decision.
Why did you come over if you were going to walk away?
It's just more embarrassing.
She's still there?
Four men couldn't handle a woman?
Well, the four of us...
We managed to move her about 2.3 meters...
Then the deputy mayor flew out.
'Flew out?' What is he, Superman?
Our bickering just serves Mi Rae's purpose!
I said she shouldn't make her the winner.
Even mutts can bark, you know.
What's the point of arguing over that?
So drag her away now!
Yes, sir.
Like that will solve anything?
People will think she has a case.
Just let her be.
Don't make her a martyr. I have an idea.
You do?
Righteous people must see how their cause hurts others.
If I handle this, repeal my husband's resignation.
Of course. Whatever you say.
But this idea of yours...
A roundabout attack.
Sneaking up from the side and smacking her upside the head.
That will get rid of her.
Just wait and see.
You'll find out by tomorrow.
It's about the funding for maternity leave.
How can it be so little?
I want it redone.
Yes, sir.
Do you have something to say, sir?
Don't you?
What about today's schedule?
At two, you have...
Cancel it. I'm meeting someone.
Go ahead, sir.
Now you decide whether or not I can go?
You should know who I'm meeting so you can report it.
Follow me everywhere from now on.
Don't go behind my back.
I want that man to know he's out of my life.
How nice!
With that handsome Director Lee around, I really feel like working hard.
What are you talking about?
Back in the day, he didn't even compare to me!
They invented the phrase 'boys over flowers' because of me.
Stop dreaming.
Hey, why don't you believe me?
Back in the day, my complexion used to glow...
That hat looks good on you.
Everything looks good on me.
Before I joined the bureau of tourism, I was in agriculture.
This is my emotional sanctuary.
The city hall has been turned upside down.
Director Ji called me.
Mi Rae is protesting?
Do you know why?
Kind of.
She wants her money.
Come on. She's fighting to have you reinstated.
And she was dismissed for the same reason.
This is no time to be picking pear blossoms.
You're the only one who can help Mi Rae.
Take care.
So you don't want me to stop her but to help her?
What are your real motives?
- She's not the type to stop anyway. - You're right.
That's why I ask.
If my job is at stake, I should help her.
But if I help her, things will spin out of control.
And the city hall might shatter to pieces.
My helping Mi Rae might translate to my helping you.
Am I right?
You are right.
So stop her if you can, even though I wish you'd help her.
It's not an easy choice.
Mayor Goh and Councilwoman Min are in the same boat.
They'd go down together.
Truth or love?
Isn't that always the dilemma for men?
Am I cute or what?
Stop it!
Are you okay? You don't look well.
You're not on a hunger strike too, are you?
Just stick to this for now.
It's not that.
Joo Hwa won't let me use the restroom.
One second.
Why are you heading that way?
Go in the bushes or something.
Is there something in that alley?
A telephone pole.
She must find it comfortable.
What a rude wench, telling me to come and go.
She has good hearing too.
Bye.
You asked for me, ma'am
Come on. We're on friends.
- Sit down. - I'm cool with that.
What? You want me to drag Mi Rae away?
Come on, girlfriend... It's what she wants.
I just worry about her health.
So why did you want to see me? You know we're all busy.
I do.
And you especially.
What's that supposed to mean?
I do understand.
Rumor has it your husband doesn't really work.
With your meager salary, a husband, and three kids...
I know it's got to be hard, but you can't do that.
What do you mean?
Where did she go?
Shin Mi Rae, from the mayor's office.
Shin Mi Rae?
She went home right on the hour.
What did you just say?
Are you deaf? She just threatened me.
If you keep this up, I'll be fired.
If you don't stop, my kids will starve!
So what's that supposed to mean?
She said she can get me for taking bribes.
She's already looked into it.
I've got three kids, girl!
But you've never taken bribes!
Yes, I hate. I've taken loads of stuff!
You asked me for my help.
With Kyung Hee's grandmother and other neighbors.
She knows all about it.
You asked me to do whatever it takes to help them.
Their paperwork was not in order
but I pushed it through for your sake.
Yes, that's true.
But they didn't give you bribes.
I did get bribes.
Kyung Hee's grandmother gave me apples. Mi Hee's mother gave me some milk.
She asked me how much money was in the apple and milk crates.
Now what?
What are you, a freedom fighter?
Stop starting crap. You're clueless!
How am I going to live?
I guess she's not coming today.
How can she, in this tiny town?
Let's go back inside.
I worked like a dog.
And you're going to take my money?
I know you have it.
You better cough it up...
Why, you...
Mayor, it's me.
I'll take care of it
so you just do the public relations.
Goodbye.
Hello?
Stop it, you'll hurt the lady.
You!
What did you say to Boo Mi?
Oh my, she went to see you?
I told her for her own benefit and she just had to tell you.
I guess you have a grasp of the situation.
So why are you here?
Puzzling, isn't it?
What you did is even more puzzling.
And I'm not going anywhere.
Not until I get paid and Director Lee gets reinstated.
Okay. We'll see this to the end.
You know I tend to hold grudges.
And look who's here.
Good luck.
Hey, stop right there!
Boo Mi...
Hey, wait.
What's going on?
- Don't tell me... - What?
You think I quit on my own with three kids in tow?
Is this what you wanted?
Are you satisfied?
What are you doing? You punks!
I'm speaking on the mayor's behalf.
We express regret regarding the unfortunate event at city hall.
It is an absurd act put on by those trying to smear Mayor Goh's name.
The Miss Herring Pageant was help with utmost transparency.
Not a penny was misspent in any way.
Massage your eyes.
Miss Herring has to stay beautiful.
Now, now.
You better wear a mask with that egg-shaped face of yours.
I'll get them back for you.
Here, have some.
Yes, you need your health.
There's no use in refusing to eat.
It's mushroom porridge.
- Take off your clothes. - What?
My clothes? Here?
I can't go out looking like this.
I have to go somewhere.
Oh, sure.
Where are you going?
Can you wrap the ice cream sandwiches?
Boo Mi.
Let me see you.
Just for a bit.
- She wants to see you for just a bit. - Boo Mi.
Boo Mi...
I'm so sorry.
Can you give me five minutes?
Just beat me to a pulp.
Curse me out and beat me up.
I feel so bad.
What can I do?
Just beat me up.
I've never seen you not eat.
It's a first for me as well.
I should've just resigned too.
I got dragged out with everyone watching.
Was that why you're protesting?
At first.
And I'm mad about the money.
There's another reason too.
But day after day...
I keep finding more reasons.
It's like my diets. I keep gaining.
And Boo Mi got fired because of me too.
So you're still going to do it?
That's the plan.
What if I ask you to stop?
If it's about the prize money
and your job, my job, and Boo Mi's job....
If I resolve all those things, can you stop protesting?
Is there another reasons besides a personal vendetta?
Have I really complicated things?
I was just...
Just...
And how would you resolve everything?
It's simple.
You and I will pretend nothing happened and work for Mayor Goh.
We'll just go back to the way we were.
We'll just do as we're told.
You'll make coffee and I'll clean up after shady deals.
Can you do that?
No.
I've seen too much to go back to the old days.
Fine then.
Don't go back to the old days.
But that, in and of itself, might be a return to the old days.
What do you mean by that?
Mi Rae's been gone for so long.
She and Boo Mi must be making up.
She must be running a little late.
Don't mind me. I'm here for a drink.
Okay.
Why are you writing when no one's reading the articles anyway?
I have to try.
And on that note, want to start some trouble?
- What? - You can edit videos, right?
A little bit.
But what kind of trouble?
Hey!
[Shin Mi Rae, our future.]
[Mi Rae starts her march towarsd the future.]
[With a coffee philosophy all on her own.]
[Did you know Miss Herring has been hosed?]
I'm contestant number nine, Shin Mi Rae.
Let go!
I have my rights!
[She stands all alone in front of city hall.]
[We believe in truth, justice, and compassion.]
[This woman's kind of awesome]
[Herring woman is so cool]
[She rules]
[Looks like she'll become a celebrity]
[She's cute. Best of luck to her]
[This lady is pulling me in]
[I hope she wins]
[A star has arrived]
[The herring woman's older than my mom]
[Why does she have haters?]
[Good luck herring lady! You can do it!]
[Shin Mi Rae]
[Low-Ranking Public Servant]
[This wench... ]
[This girl is my friend. I'm so proud of her.]
You're a sensation!
You had over 3,000 visitors on your blog today!
What?
Did something happen?
Did someone report me as an unlawful demonstrator?
But I googled it and it was legal...
Yes, thanks to google, you're a star!
What are you talking about?
One of your visitors was a publisher.
They want to publish your story.
Published?
You're a star now.
We got your story up on the internet.
[Miss Herring Faces the Mayor]
[Miss Little Miracle, Shin Mi Rae]
[Miss Herring's Fall From Grace]
[Miss Herring in Search of Prize Money]
What the heck is going on?
How did you let it get to this point?
What if this costs me the election?
What about that?
Total number of visitors...
10,383!
Let's check out the comment.
'Can I be featured in your life?'
Why not?
Sure... Sure!
I should return it to him tomorrow.
I'm heading to work.
Get in. We're going in the same direction.
That's got to be a hassle on the bus.
Have you had breakfast?
My mom said I don't deserve to eat.
And who's this gentleman?
You don't want to know him.
Enjoy. And if you need anything...
We'll let you know. Thank you.
She said enjoy your meal.
So I'm really someone people don't want to know?
Why did you come?
Did the mayor tell you to stop me?
It's not enough that he canned my friend?
Your friend got canned?
That's not my style, but it is effective.
It tends to resolve things.
I wanted to ask you a question.
Do you still need my help?
If we have the same goal, I might be able to help.
So it depends on your goal.
My goal?
You must have a goal in mind.
Would the prize money settle it?
And what's your goal?
To push out Mayor Goh and have a recall election.
Is that your goal too?
No?

- I guess I was wrong. - No, you're right.
You were the one person I could count on.
Do you have what it takes to be a witness?
I'm suing for defamation of character.
How dare you go against the mayor!
Can't I get my vengeance?
Are the powerless just supposed to take it?
It's a gift pack.
How would Shin Mi Rae know these details?
Oh no! Oh no! Save me!
Are you really drunk?
You must really be drunk.
Please help me.
That's right!
How many times did I told you? Told you?
- Good for you! - Deputy mayor.
- What's wrong with you? - Something was stuck in my throat.
That's right!
Oh geez, it's falling off.
Why freak out over something like this?
Why? Why?
Hurry! It's hot! It's hot! Hurry.
I'm done.
